@ 21 months 1 week 2 days
I always dread the day I have to bring Ryan for a hair cut. The last time he had a hair cut 2 months ago he got so hysterical and traumatised that even his favourite Vitagen won’t stop his tears and pitiful cries. It was a very heart breaking experience for all of us.
Last Sunday, the day has come. The lil fella needs another trim prior the chinese new year. So off we went to the salon. This time, we brought along his toys, trains, bus, excavator etc. Daddy had his cut first while I settle and calm the lil fella. He was a little skeptical at first and he kept staring at his Daddy while I explain to him the process so he’s better prepared of what’s coming next. After awhile he was able to relax and was happily seen playing with his toys.
His turn came. Expectedly he started to wriggle and whine. No distractions, toys, anything could calm him down at this point of time. The hairdressor managed to snips bits of hair here and there but it just wasn’t good enough to complete the whole process. I don’t want Ryan’s hair to look like dog bite; especially not during the festive season. Towards the end we got really frustrated ourselves. So we were in between using force to restrain him or simply give up. We chose the later.
After the snipping stops, Ryan finally calmed down. The hairdressor gave his last effort. He combed Ryan’s hair and kept telling Ryan we’re just combing his hair. Surprisingly that trick seems to work a bit. Comb-snips-comb-snips, the cycle went along. Well, Ryan was still crying but at least he remained still this time which makes the job so much easier. The whole thing was such a pitiful sight. Have you seen a child hugging tight, head resting on the mommy’s shoulder and kept calling ‘mommy, mommy, go…. ‘ pitifully? That’s exactly how Ryan reacted. I feel really sorry for him that I almost come to tears myself. Why hair cuttting has to be such a painful experience? Poor baby. Any good advise, anyone?
Anyways…. after a heart breaking episode, this is the end result….

he look so big boy now!! New hair cut look good.
Last time, it’s also a nightmare for me to bring the boys for the hair cut, they will cry till the roof will drop! Lucky this round they sit so quietly on the chair and let the barber cut the hair..this is the first time!!
wei, look ok leh… no dog bites…
with rachel, because she’s VAIN, i always tell her cut liao look VERY pretty then she will let the saloon cut… err, is ryan vain also?
sigh…reminds me time for mine to cut hair too
oh dear….
somehow my lil missy also doesn’t like her hair cut by others except me…unfortunately, I am not good at cutting hair!
he looks more childish, really not bad at all
he will outgrown it.
maybe you can try cutting his hair yourself…. probably he will feel more relax coz he will know that you won’t hurt him. its’ pretty simple.
haha.. sorry cant give u any advice. same story with bryan. think his cries can be heard by all the shoppers in the complex. Dont think will have another round of drama so soon. I’ll gotto trim his hair this round for coming CNY :P.
hehe… I also got Malaika for another hair cut. Cry and wiggle and struggle like Ryan. got video somemore.
Handsome looking still after the haircut..
same with mine ler… cry like we’re gonna slaughter him! But i find it easier for me to trim his hair at home by myself. But I trim until senget senget la.. so maybe I shud practise more and cut his hair myself la to avoid the drama.
But this hair cut not bad leh…like got layer samo in front
sounds too familiar to me..I really find it a chore to bring the boys to the barber…argghh…
Ryan’s hair looks so much better after the hair cut….
At least Ryan just cried… Darrius went hysterical and his whole face turned blue!
the hairdresser has done a very good job considering the drama involved…hehe
