Awesome thread! My 21 mo DS doesn't have very much hair yet but we are planning on letting it grow : ) Can't wait until I can share pics too! 

[goldenwillow]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this thread!

We have been asked so much if our DS is a girl or boy.  I have been contemplating trimming his bangs due to his own frustration.  DH said he'd have a baby mullet so we let it ride and that lasted about a week.  Now he just pushes this bangs to the side.  DH hasn't cut his hair since DS was born... not sure when the boys will cut their hair.  DH cuts it when he is able to donate 14 inches!  I considered using some sort of product then decided I don't use any... why should he.

Do any of you use styling products on your little boys? My son has straight thick hair (or it seems like it will be thick). I like his hair long and shaggy but I hate the way his bangs hang straight down in his face. They're so cute when they're brushed out of his eyes but they won't stay that way. Just wondering if I could add some body to it somehow without it looking "styled."

I love little boys with long hair. So cool!!!

Here's Miles, who's going to be 2 on the 24th!

It's the hair, apparently, according to what people have told me. Also if I put him in pigtails, he looks like a girl even to me, so maybe it's his baby face too.

same! with a pony tail I think he DOES look like a girl! and most people I dont bother correcting. I cant see how it makes a big deal if a stranger thinks he is a girl..

no, its in his eyes and i want to trim it sometimes but in DHs culture the godmother has to be the first to trim his hair, and she lives clear across the country so I think its going to be a while!

Carry on with the cuteness.

That's hilarious!  Same exact cheesiness. :)

Here is H about this time last year... His hair is currently about the same length.

[lookatreestar]

sry kinda big, but yeah i call it his wild man hair. it is totally his personality   it is longer in the back so we do a pony to keep the front piece up. he is getting better about pushing the hair out of his face.

[porcelina]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the ideas!! There are so many great hairstyles. I'm feeling inspired!

Newmothermary, do you cut that style yourselves? Or go to a stylist? Looks hard to get all those wisps, but awesome!

[newmothermary]

porcelina,

I soo do nothing but just let it be. I do spray a little California Baby detangling spray, it leaves it with less flyaways and it hangs smoother. Other than that, I get his bangs trimmed really lightly when it passes his eyes.

I am hoping this is how my DSs hair will look in a few months! Love this, and all the photos.

So far I have avoided cutting DS hair... but DH mentions it now and then. I dont want it cut, I love his hair so. Its silky and golden with a bit of curl to it.

[kanasa]

Great thread! A lot of handsome little men out there!

We've gotten a lot of the "what a cute little girl" too.

We haven't done any styling so much, he doesn't like having it pulled back, brushed or even placed behind his ears, so he and I have gotten into some battles, but wouldn't want to cut it for anything.

What an inspirational thread. I just can't get myself to cut my little sons hair. We often get the "cute girl" comments, too. Although, it seems to me, that guys usually get his gender right.

This is so cute! Did you ever cut his bangs yet?

This was my son's hair before we cut it back in November.

I regret cutting it :( and we are currently growing it out again, but it seems to be growing soooo slow.  He will be 2 in March.  He was born with a full head of dark curly hair (it changed a lot).

My SIL grew my nephews hair out, not even really that long.  Like it was right below his ears, and my MIL gave her hell about it allll the time.  I told DH that I was growing out DS hair just to spite her, but then I really started liking it.  My new son (3mths) is bald so I'm sure once he gets hair I won't cut it that often either.

What a bunch of cute little dudes! My little guy is going to be 2 in April and hasn't had a haircut yet : ) It's still really wispy and we've just now started sweeping it across his forehead. 

[Mama_Wolf1982]

DS is 18 months old, and usually these days we end up putting his hair in a top knot (or samurai knot, as my DH likes to call it) so it stays out of his eyes. Sure, he gets mistaken for a girl all the time, but we don't really care. His locks are long and luscious and sooo beautiful!

(Couldn't resist a back view with that second shot...hehe)
