We shopped around and bought some baby clothes and a Braun hair-clipper for baby Joel. His hair is falling off and it's all over his face and clothes, so we decided to shave it off for him. The hair-clipper was recommended by Ivan, and we thought it really made sense to buy it especially since our kid is a boy. Can save $ on future home haircuts.THE MATHS: A kids hairsalon/cut at Vivo City costs a whopping S$20.
4 haircuts = the hairclipper
Daddy Elvis was also worried that the hair-clipper at the barber's shop is dirty...so we decided to get it early (for baby's FIRST haircut tomorrow). Haha! ;p
Hmm...I had thought that only bandang Chinese stick to the tradition of cutting babies' hair on their first month, but i googled this and found out that even the angmohs do it too! And they also keep a small section of it for posterity. Elvis' mother kept baby Joel's umbilical cord & his soon-to-be-cut-hair in a red packet for good luck too! (Some people even use the baby's first hair to make into caligraphy brushes)
I also found this WikiHow article useful. Baby/daddy/mommy wimp out on the haircut? No problem, take baby to the salon instead, and follow these helpful tips for making it a happy experience for your little one. Oh, and check out these good baby/toddler hair-styling tips too. Dont take chances especially with babies. ;p
