Congratulations to Grayson, better known as “The Blooming Onion”! He has been awarded the title of MOST EPIC BABY HAIR!
How did I make that decision? I did not. That decision was made by the people who took the time to vote. But I couldn’t think of a head of hair more deserving.
Equally deserving maybe (I still love you Zoolander!), but not more deserving.
Grayson gets to tame his hair with a $750 cash gift card from Baby Magic (I hear dollar bills can be made into an excellent hat!), in addition to a Baby Magic Gift Set of all their finest baby bath products, including the best-selling Original Baby Magic Hair & Body Wash in the pink bottle.
Because it’s so important to wash an epic head of baby hair as often as possible, all ten finalists will be going home with a Baby Magic gift set. You never know what you’ll find hiding in there— food, bugs, crayons, matchbox cars. Scrub thoroughly!
I want to take a moment to thank Baby Magic for being such an awesome sponsor of this contest. I’d love if you all took a moment to thank them too. If you loved the Epic Baby Hair contest and would like Baby Magic to sponsor it again next year, please tell them how awesome they are in the comment section below. The next Epic Baby Hair depends on it!
This past week, I’ve been posting additional photos of a few Epic Baby Hair finalists to prove they were all real heads of hair on my facebook page. I don’t think anybody has doubted the authenticity of “The Blooming Onion”, but I’d still love to share some additional shots I unearthed from his mom’s instagram account (@jppilates1).
Here you are, from birth to six months— the making of an Epic Head of Baby Hair:
His mother had this to say, “A day doesn’t go by when we don’t get stares, grins, smiles and questions about Grayson’s hair. It’s hard to capture in photos but in addition to the crazy amount of hair and the way it grows straight up, it’s also morphed into a natural ombre. He was born with dark brown hair and at around two months it started coming in RED! Now the tips are brown and the roots are red. Folks are always saying ‘people pay a lot of money for their hair to be that color.’ Best part is no one in our family has red hair!”
I think we all know how much I love a kid with a natural ombre.
And just in case you are wondering what hairy animals could possibly have birthed such an epic head of hair, here they are…
Which just goes to show you that ANYONE can give birth to a Blooming Onion.
Big thanks to all who entered and an even bigger thanks to Baby Magic! I hope everyone had as much fun as I did!

If you’d like
Congrats, Grayson! That picture of him at 4 months is just too much! Love it!
Ilana….how can I tell the date of a post on your blog?
Adorable! Grats lil Grayson! Your super fluffy locks make me jealous!
It says it right above the title. This one is 08/07/2014.
OMG. Forget the hair, those CHEEKS! He is ridiculously cute. I have an almost-2-year-old and Grayson is giving me baby fever.
I used Baby Magic all the time when mine were little! Glad to see they have a sense of humor. 🙂
Always my favorite contest of the year! Thanks Baby Magic.
Baby Magic, definitely consider sponsoring again next year! And congrats to the Bloomin Onion. What a beautiful baby! Love his red hair, which no one else in his family has!
That Baby Magic logo on the pictures is giving me serious good-smelling-bab-after-bath withdrawl. Off to buy a bottle of baby wash to use on my 7yo.
Greyson’s hair looks as awesome as Baby Magic’s stuff smells. I loved this contest!
Could that baby be any cuter? I would love to dive my nose into his hair. I looove the way Baby Magic smells! Congrats to Greyson and his mommy and daddy. Hope everyone enjoys their awesome Baby Magic sets!
These have all been SO much fun to see – I’ve always loved Baby Magic, but I think it’s especially cool when a brand has a great sense of humor like this. This is the first time I’ve ever been grateful my office is in the nursery – I can lean over and get a fix of that Baby Magic smell right now!
Just to let you know, from an iphone (5 is what I have) you cannot see the date above the title, or anywhere in the post for that matter. I always have to read the date of the first comment to figure it out when I am reading an old post…which I do a lot because your blog is great!
Thank you Mommy Shorts and Baby Magic! We all love this contest and hope it continues many years into the future!!
This kid has the best hair EVAH.
I miss Baby Magic. Too bad my 8yo won’t let me use it on her anymore. Almost makes me want another baby…
…nah.
This is the greatest hair I have ever seen!! LOVE LOVE LOVE Baby Magic. We still use it on the daily. 🙂
I have an I-phone 4s and I have to read from my I-phone at work because blogs are banned on our network. You know I can’t wait until I get home to read your daily post! 🙂
He could also win an “epic cheeks” contest. Cutie!!!!
thanks Baby Magic, and congrats to Grayson. Love his hair!
My son had a baby hair phase where it looked like a mohawk. I got annoyed when someone asked if I styled like that on purpose (like I sit around putting gel in my 4 month old’s hair). so I won’t ask if they comb his hair stick up like that !
🙂
he is cute!
Thank you baby Magic!! Congrats Grayson!!!
Such a great contest! My kids are older now, but I really miss using all that Baby Magic stuff on my babies! Such a perfect sponsor for this contest. So clever!
Thank you Baby Magic and Mommy Shorts : )
Congratulations to Grayson, Zoolander & all the precious babies in this contest – all were adorable with amazing heads of hair. We’re so proud to claim Zoolander as our grandbaby and to say he participated in this contest! Love, Gigi, Papaw & Auntie
His hair is amazing, especially those dark tips! I wonder if that awesome basket of Baby Magic will tame the hair? Could be a before/after ad campaign for them. (Not that I want Grayson’s hair to change one bit!) I love your Epic Baby Hair contest and think that much more of a brand like Baby Magic for sponsoring it! I love it when a brand has a sense of humor and this is just such a fun, happy contest. Keep it up!
That hair is indeed epic! Loved this contest…and love Baby Magic (my kids are a little older, but I still buy the soap and the lotion because I LOVE the smell).
Can’t wait until the next contest!
Pleassseeee do this contest again. Seeing all of the babies and their crazy hair is so much fun! Also, I’m having my first baby next year and with the amount of heartburn I’ve been having I’m guessing there’s gonna be a set of hair on this babe.
Thank you for such a great contest Baby Magic! We enjoyed the pictures immensely! Erin
Baby Magic please keep sponsoring the epic baby contest. i love grayson’s hair color.

He’s such a cute baby! Thanks Mommy Short and Baby Magic for this contest–I loved seeing all the hairs!
My little one was Carrot Top…so much fun! Thank you Mommy Shorts and Baby Magic!!
Thanks Baby Magic and Mommyshorts for a great contest. My baby was Physllis Diller. We loved participating in this 🙂
