I am glad I didn’t went ahead to shave yauyau’s head botak, else I wouldn’t have so much fun today. She was born with a headful of hair, has soft lovely curls, nicely parted on the left. I always joked that this vain baby had her hair properly permed and set before coming to this world. Anyway, she started balding about a month ago. Her hair has been falling, especially those nearer to her neck. Could see some skin patches and was beginning to look rather ugly. Since there is this tradition of shaving the baby’s hair (and eyebrows too) during the fourth month here, I decided to have it done to her too. After all, it is going to encourage thicker new hair growth, isn’t it?

Luckily, I am a lazy mom, and never bring her to the hairdresser. Perhaps I couldn’t bare to see her hairless. She already looks like a boy, doesn’t want to aggravate the situation. The balding situation is better now, because her hair are growing longer, they somehow cover the patchy areas. I bought her some tiny cute little clips, and had fun doing her hair. My life size Barbie! Now, no one will ask me about her gender anymore.
