Who’s your stylist?
For the record, I did not give Simon a faux-hawk. His hair ‘do — a sort of reverse tonsure, sparse on the sides with a completely bald spot in back — is the product of rubbing his little head against the crib mattress and the floor.
Some moms at a breastfeeding group asked me if I cut it that way. I did not. He has his daddy’s wispy, fly-away hair. It sticks up like that when it’s clean. I just brush it straight back so it doesn’t stick to his forehead and get oily. When it’s greasy it gets plastered to his scalp.
He has baby-pattern baldness. The only cure is time and learning to sit up.
