Four month old Amy, in the picture below has more hair than I've ever had. I learned from my Chinese friends that there's a trick (old wive's tale?) to their super thick hair: At one month Chinese parents shave the child's head for the promise of a lifetime of a full head of hair.
So my lack of hair is all Mom & Dad's fault! If only they had shaved my head at one month I'd have as much hair as Amy.
Not sure that would've done it, Steve. Even Amy seems to be saying, "Yeah, I don't think so, bald white guy."
ReplyDeleteWell it makes sense, to a point. Didn't your beard grow in thicker after you shaved it? I know girls are often cautioned not to shave their legs until they absolutely have to b/c the hair will grow in thicker, and they will have to shave more often. Not sure I buy the theory that shaving a baby's head at one month guarantees a lifetime of thick hair. Would be interesting to see how mcu hair Amy would have had they not shaved her head. Probably about the same.
