Already by the first birthday of the child, most mothers begin to worry about the question of how to cut the child. For many, a haircut per year is traditional, but it is done most often at home. For this procedure to be successful, it is necessary to prepare for it in advance.
It is necessary
Scissors, hair clipper
Instructions
Step 1
In a month, the hair becomes about a centimeter longer. Therefore, closer to the year it is necessary to cut them from a hygienic point of view: the hair gets into the eyes and interferes with the child. For mothers who have never held scissors in their hands until this moment, this is a rather difficult task. It simplifies its use with a hair clipper, especially since at this age both boys and girls have the same hairstyles.
Step 2
You should not expect your child to sit quietly, so during the first haircut it is best when the baby is being held by another adult. You can try to distract attention with a new bright toy. Before cutting, cover your shoulders with a towel or other cloth, as short shaved hair irritates the skin and will further irritate the child.
Step 3
First, you must try to explain the future procedure to the kid in a playful way and show how the machine works. However, if the panic and hysterics do not recede, then there are simply no universal tips on how to cut a child's hair in this situation. Some mothers try to carry out the procedure in several stages while bathing, when the child is distracted by playing with toys. Others try to cut off at least the bangs during sleep so that it does not go into the eyes. Sometimes a regular mirror can help. The child watches the haircut with interest and forgets about his fears. If you cannot calm your baby down, the haircut should be postponed for several weeks. It is possible that after a while the child will treat her much more calmly.
