SHAVING OF THE HAIR

It is one of the Malay custom to shave off the baby hair once they are a month old. The act is call "Cukur Rambut" which means shaving of the hair. The reason behind it is to shave off the 'dirty hair' since it had been inside my tummy for 9 months.

So on 30th April, it is Adam's turn to have his hair shaved off. We have our expert my brother to be the barber for the day. He was the one who shaved off all my niece & nephews hair, thus it's a traditional for him to shave off Adam's hair as well.

Well prepared with scissors, razors and of course pacifier to soothe him down. Start off by cutting of his hair with a baby scissors then began to shave him off with a razor. Adam being Adam was not able to keep still, making our mission more tough. After 2 hours, all his hair was shaved off.....Finally! We have to collect all his hair and weigh it and convert the weight to the price of the gold. Upon conversion, the money has to be contributed to the mosque or needy people. Now I wonder how heavy is Adam's hair......
