Narrowing down the Epic Baby Hair entries to the top ten finalists might be the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Besides giving birth. And peeing in my wedding dress. And getting Mazzy to shut down the iPad.
So… fourth hardest thing I’ve ever done, for sure.
After spending way too much time comparing ridiculous heads of hair and posting a few face-offs on the Mommy Shorts facebook page (thanks to everyone who weighed in!), I finally made some hard choices. I had to cut Donald Trump and Erykah Badu and even little Lyle Lovett— Oh, I loved you all.
You can see some of my favorites that didn’t make the cut here and here.
Before I announce the finalists, I’d like to give a huge shout-out to our sponsor, Baby Magic. They not only make some great baby bath products, they put together a truly stellar prize.
These ten babies aren’t just competing for a Mommy Shorts Mug, they are duking it out for $750! Plus, all ten finalists will go home with a Baby Magic gift set, including their best-selling Original Baby Scented Hair & Body Wash in the pink bottle.
Are you ready to meet your ten Epic Baby Hair finalists??? (Please don’t yell at me if you don’t agree with them.)
Please vote for your favorite in the poll below. You can vote once a day up until the winner is announced on Thursday, August 7th. Voting will close at 6pm EST on Wednesday, August 6th.
Good luck to all the finalists. May the most epic head of baby hair win!
Yay, we made the finals! That prize would sure help get our six students ready for school and maybe something special for baby while they’re away! Great contenders, will be hard to beat!!! – mom of the awesome Richard Simmons 😉
I can not believe how much hair these babies have! My daughter was basically bald until she was 1. They are awesome. Wish you all luck!!!
They’re all pretty epic, but really, Zoolander? Poor thing. Poor parents. Now you know someone always HAS to say something about that epic head of baby hair.
Yay! We made the top ten! I’m so excited and so is my sweet Benjamin Franklin!!
No kidding – that is a tough decision!! All of these babies are winners!
There’s nothing “poor” about it – lucky parents to have such an amazing baby with such EPIC hair! 🙂
I have to say, that probably since I had 3 extremely bald babies…these just don’t look real to me. Seriously do kids have that much hair?!?!?!
Such amazing hair! I feel like this would have been another great time to use that sliding scale poll you used for the sexy dads post. 🙂
These are all so amazing! I cannot decide which one I like best.
Zoolander even has “Blue Steel” down!
If the Queen of Hearts does not win, can she at least win an automatic place in the next Evil Baby Glare off?
They all have crazy hair, but OMG Zoolander takes the cake!! Looks like a wig!!
Martha Stewart is absolutely beautiful. Her eyes are as gorgeous as her hair. Hope she wins!
My thoughts exactly!
almost impossible to choose–they are all EPIC in their own way
i still have to agree with the earlier facebook recommendation of changing richard simmons to the happy trees painter dude.
but picking just one of those is near impossible.
Go Alice!!! Anne B. Davis rocks!
I think the Martha Stewart is definitely a wig. It just doesn’t look like a baby’s head of hair to me, colorwise or otherwise. And so close to the face, you can’t see any hairline or roots. Gotta be a wig! Just my opinion & I’m stickin’ to it!
I can tell you that it is absolutely not a wig, I am her Grandma so I know for sure it isn’t. She has the same hair that her mother had as a baby. The first time I took her mother to a salon the stylist said that she had 4 times the amount of hair as anyone else. Her father has a very thick head of hair also, so it is in her genes.
HI Norma, If you go on mommyshorts facebook page. She posted a picture I sent her of Martha. A 13 picture collage from birth. It is not a wig. Thank you for thinking so. She is just blessed with a beautiful thick head of hair. Have a great day!
Thank you! Very sweet of you to say!

here is the link to the facebook picture. 🙂
The Queen of hearts, yah, she just doesn’t Give.a.F@#k.
And it is awesome
Seeing a lot about of posts about her glare. Her brother was getting in the bath while mommy was trying to get a picture. She wasn’t getting her way so I got the look 🙂
So glad she has made it this far. I hope she sure wins. If not I’ll be completely honest, whomever does has a great head of hair on them. Good luck to all you other mom as out there 🙂 your babies are absolutely beautiful!! And don’t let anyone’s comments get to you.
Awww, i voted for your little girl because so many others look like they’ve had hair products, styling and teasing done.
I voted for you.. Good luck!
All of the babies are absolutely beautiful..
Thank you, Shelley!! Her’s is completely untouched by anyone. She actually had just woken up when I took the photo. 🙂
Thank you, Sinem!!
n my opinion, they are all winners.
All these babies are adorable and have awesomesauce hair, but personally, I am leaning towards the au naturel ones. Most Epic should be able to claim the title at any given moment, not just one epic photo. That said; Queen of Hearts is pretty perfect.
God, this is too EPIC and I can only say one thing – you just can’t fake this craziness up! They are way more than grown-up peoples skill and imagination capable of, for sure 😉
