First Hair Cut

This morning we brought HuiRou for her first haircut in preparation for her fullmoon celebration.

As I know it, it signifies a milestone in her life, ie , she gets new hair after being born as a new beginning of the next stage in her life. Some people say that after shaving, the new hair that grows will be luscious and darker.

To this mummy, hair will eventually drop off and regrow. Regardless of whether it was shaven before, if she is meant to have thick, luscious hair, genetically speaking, she will. The decision to shave her head was actually to make our folks happy. Although I feel sad at seeing her headful of hair lobbed off by the barber, I console myself by saying, hair will regrow. And it isn't wise to fight over fallen hair.

Who knows... perhaps the hair will indeed be luscious and dark.
