It was gross for a minute but then I thought it was funny to have a box of curly blond hair. I had only known him as bald. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515568 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 07:25:08 +0000 Smurfette 2515568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Someone gave us little silver dishes for the first tooth and curl. But I will not save her tooth and didn't save hair from her first cut. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515552 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 07:01:46 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2515552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kept a little lock in his baby book :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515546 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 06:45:42 +0000 erinbaderin 2515546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did the same thing as a lot of others - took him to a fancy place that gave us a certificate with a photo and a lock of hair. I figured it was work the stupidly high cost for the first time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515488 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 23:48:48 +0000 lamariniere 2515488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: @chopsuey: me three! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515296 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 18:38:48 +0000 Charm54 2515296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had her first haircut last month at Disney World...they some of her hair it in a cute keepsake bag with a Mickey sticker and some pixie dust , so sweet ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515233 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 16:41:40 +0000 Alivoo01 2515233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't save it, but I don't think it's gross that people do. Plenty of kid haircut places make major bucks by making the first haircut a memorable experience by giving you a certificate, lil tube to keep the hair, etc.</p> <p>DS had his hair trimmed a few months into his life and then every couple months thereafter so his first haircut wasn't a big ordeal for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515131 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 15:28:17 +0000 Mrsbells 2515131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has never had a hair cut. but I dont think I would save her hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515129 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 15:26:44 +0000 CakeLady 2515129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is almost 2 and still hasn't had a haircut, I probably will save a small lock of hair... if he ever grows enough to get it cut :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515126 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 15:25:01 +0000 chopsuey 2515126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515089 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 15:04:43 +0000 dolphin 2515089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I wouldn't have thought of it but we took DD to a professional kid hair cut place and they gave her a certificate that says "my first hair cut" with date, a picture of her and clippings of hair in a little envelope. So cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515081 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 15:03:05 +0000 josina 2515081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a certificate from the hair salon also but had planned on keeping it in his baby book regardless. It's just a tiny bit though... my MIL kept like ALL the hair from DH's first cut (and he had a lot of hair) and I think that's kind of gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515067 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 14:45:41 +0000 looch 2515067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, but don't ask me where it is now, lol, because I have no idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515048 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 14:32:50 +0000 Truth Bombs 2515048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I'm not at all sentimental about this stuff though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515047 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 14:32:43 +0000 skipra 2515047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saved them from both kids but LO1's was done shortly before we moved and somehow got separated from his baby book. And of course now I can't find it. Kind of a gross discovery for the person that does come across it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515046 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 14:32:07 +0000 agold 2515046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't done it yet, but I surely will!! Especially if my baby is a lighter haired baby, because usually light hair gets darker. We have a little hair from most people on my mom's side. We even have a doll that was made with my great grandma's hair sown on the head! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515039 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 14:27:59 +0000 regberadaisy 2515039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forgot from her first haircut but did save some from a subsequent cut. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515022 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 14:20:23 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2515022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took LO to a children's hair salon, and they save a lock of hair for you with a little certificate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515008 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 14:13:48 +0000 fancyfunction 2515008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we took her to get her haircut, they put a lock of hair in a decorative bag and attached it to a "first haircut" certificate. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2515000 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 14:09:26 +0000 lioneyes 2515000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i forgot. my mom asked me after if i had...whoops! i could always take them from his next cut and pretend :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2514993 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 14:05:58 +0000 littlebug 2514993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, the clippings are in D's baby book. Will do the same for A. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2514984 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 14:02:02 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2514984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saved them. Am debating turning them into a jewelry bead or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-hair-from-first-haircut#post-2514981 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 14:01:28 +0000 Raindrop 2514981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With the teeth poll, I remember that I did save something that might be considered gross.</p> <p>We saved some of the hair clippings from my LO’s first haircut. We just put in an envelope and write down the date and slipped in with his birth certificate.</p> <p>My mother did this too so I guess that’s why I did it? It’s also pretty easy to save since it stays flat with the other papers unlike say teeth would. My mother didn’t save our teeth which might be the reason I’m on the fence about the teeth thing.</p> <p>Also my mom doesn’t explain why she does things and it’s possible it might be an Asian culture thing to save first hair clippings that I don’t know about. Also she put my hair clippings on my bookshelf in my baby book when I was growing up. So I kind of grew up with my first hair clippings if that make any sense.</p> <p>Just curious if anyone else saved their kid’s first hair clippings? </p>
