Check out another blog I write: http://lifenewcreation.blogspot.sg/2013/05/how-resveratrol-and-red-wine-activate.html to find about a new opportunity to do business anywhere besides building your family's health and wellbeing.
Actually this is one tip that has not been tried and tested. I know it to be an Asian culture to shave or trim the hair of a baby so the hair will grow thicker. It is very much tied to my own insecurity about my hair being thin and I told myself that one day when I am a daddy, I will trim/shave my child's hair so it will grow thick and not need to bother during adulthood to shave one's hair. But mummy disagreed and this is one of the many unresolved (albeit minor) decisions in the family. Just before I post this, I googled up and found this to be also an Indian culture and there is a discussion at yahoo with various viewpoints presented here and here. I now realised its best to not shave the baby's hair at least for the first 6 months since its winter here in Japan anyway. Looks like mummy is right.
According to research I read on the internet, the first 6 months, all the baby's hair follicles enter a resting stage and may even fall out or stay bald till age 1. Its surely dangerous to be shaving a baby's head and maybe trimming it after more than 6 months to have evenly grown hair is a better idea. I did read a comment of a person who trimmed a section on the baby's head and seeing that section growing faster than the rest of the baby's head. So, lets see if later in summer, Tomomi would agree to trimming Haruka's hair. Tomomi has thick hair and I have much thinner hair, though I am glad that I have yet to experience balding yet. Both my parents have fairly thick hair, so I somehow was a little too self conscious due to the many comments I received previously from beauticians and friends about the thinness of my hair. But, of course, its not such an important aspect of life as you grow older and wiser and know that beauty is about many things. And that includes seeing beauty in everything. Haruka will be beautiful to me no matter what. I wiill certainly do my best to make her both beautiful inside and out as best as I can. And if trimming the hair helps, why not? But not at the expense of making mummy unhappy.
