So here's the thing... I'm not going to encourage you to do this, because I'm a hair stylist and that's what we do, but let's be honest, everyone does it. Soo ya might as well know how to do it if you're doing to do it anyway.
A while back my sister called me and asked if I would fix her little boys hair after their attempt to buzz it and it made me think maybe people might want a little advice before running into a screaming toddler that has to be held down to finish the job...
A Few Tips:
1. Get FULLY ready before you put your kid in his/her haircut chair.
2. Portable DVD players, TV's, laptops are always a great distraction.
3. Have snacks ready just in case. I don't like to start off with them though, just in case hair gets in them- the kid just ends up super angry!
4. START the haircut in the BACK... very important. You want to keep as little hair on their face as possible.
5. Do the entire haircut EXCEPT for close to the face first, then finish off with around the face and top of head. Make sure the top is nice and wet though (if you're using scissors). I can't stress enough how important it is to keep hair away from their face! :)
6. When shaving their neck and around their ears have someone help you hold their head so they don't move and end up with a bald spot... unless that's what you're going for.
7. As soon as you're done put the poor kid in the bath and wash off all that hair :)
Questions?
(Sorry this was TOTALLY off topic tonight, I just cut my son's hair a few hours ago and had it on my mind!)
