Sooner or later, all parents are puzzled by this question. There comes a time when your daughter's cute curls do not fit into her hair, and her son's stubborn bangs stick out and spoil his newfangled image. You will definitely have to get a haircut, but how to do it in the best way? You can cut your child's hair yourself, at home, or go to the hairdresser and seek the help of professionals.
It is necessary
Combs, spray bottle, scissors, high chair
Instructions
Step 1
If you decide to cut your baby in a hairdressing salon, then prepare for this in advance. Take your baby with you when you go to do a haircut or styling for yourself. The child will be able to look around, get used to an unfamiliar environment. Introduce the child to the hairdresser in advance so that at the next visit to the salon he is no longer afraid of the "unfamiliar aunt".
Step 2
Ask the master for permission to play with the child with his working tools (combs, spray bottle, etc.). This way the child will be able to understand that nothing terrible will happen to him, and will more willingly sit in a chair.
Step 3
If the option of going to the hairdresser still does not suit you, then cut your offspring at home. For a child, this is a more suitable option, since the entire haircut process will take place at home, and the baby will be less nervous.
Step 4
Try to make the child perceive everything that happens as a game: comb the mane of your favorite lion cub or braid the doll's pigtails. Gradually shift your attention to the child and start cutting.
Step 5
Wet your baby's hair and sit him in a high chair. If the child resists, put him in the arms of dad or grandmother. Choose the one whom the baby trusts as the assistant.
Step 6
During a haircut, be sure to distract your child with toys, turn on cartoons or favorite songs. Sing along with him. Read rhymes to him.
Step 7
Be prepared for your child to run away, fidget in a chair, and be distracted. Don't scold him. Follow him if he runs away.
Step 8
Put the prankster in front of the mirror - he will look at his reflection and will not bother you. For the child to sit on the chair for an extra couple of minutes, play and make faces while looking in the mirror. Laughter and play will distract the fidget.
Step 9
Don't try to get a super haircut. Quality comes with experience. You may only need to trim your bangs and temples. It is enough to make the child's head look neat.
Step 10
After completing the procedure, praise and kiss your angel. Tell him that he is very handsome and that he has the best haircut. Have the child look at himself in the mirror. Invite the rest of the household to look at the result of the work.
