The history of Max's hair

Maxwell James Lassen was born with a small amount of straight dark hair.
Over the first month or so of life it fell out leaving a tiny amount of blond fuzz.

At 8 months of age Max still had very little hair on his head except for a strange rat's tail at the back. Before our trip to Utah for Christmas 2007 I chopped it off incase it was rumoured that we were taking the Kentucky lifestyle a little far. I called that his first haircut.
Max remained mostly bald up until about the time Sam was born (17 months) and then his hair started to grow in.



By Christmas 2008 he had a descent amount of straight blondish hair.
Once 2009 came around he started to develop a little wave in his hair which gradually turned into a curl.

He came back from England in April looking like he'd had a perm.

It went even more blond in the sun as his skin went darker and we couldn't bear to cut it ...


until it just got plain out of control and we had to do it.






I took Max to a special hair salon for kids where they get to sit in a little car and watch a movie of their choice. He cried - but mostly because the boy next to him was wailing and he thought that was what you were supposed to do.


Then he got to play on the slide


Don't worry, it still has plenty of curl and is growing back rapidly.
