Tips for Your Sons First Hair Cut

When should your child get his first haircut? I would suggest waiting until the child is at least one year of age. The first few hair cuts should be a style that can be done quickly. The barber should use clippers that are quiet, noisy clippers will probably scare the child, because getting a haircut is a new experience. Most parents don't understand that getting a haircut is a big thing for a one year old; if they are made to be afraid of the barber or the clippers it will be a lot longer for them to sit still to get a complete hair cut. Most parents will insist on getting the front of the hair lined /edged up, even though that part of the haircut terrifies the child. For the first haircut in most cases I would suggest not to get the front lined/edged up. Small children have a short attention span, the faster the cut is over and the happier they are at the end of it are important to how they will be for the next time. You don't want you child dreading getting a hair cut; If you traumatize them they will be that way for a long time. This is a tip, if the boy cries like the barber is pulling his teeth, something is wrong, maybe it's nap time, the clippers could really be hutting him, or he thinks he is going to be hurt since the last barber hurt him he thinks that all barbers will do this and he fights the new barber every time he gets his hair cut.

If you never or rarely brush or comb your child's hair as a mother or father you must realize that he will not want a stranger fooling around with his head. Parents have to make time to shampoo there child's hair at least once per week and brush or comb at least twice a day this way you are familiarizing them with grooming and showing them the importance of maintaining their appearance. Show them in this way and you will have much less if any problems at the Barber Shop

Find a good barber that is patient with children and stick with him. It is important that you find a barber that your son vibes well with. Children have feeling just like adults; they can't express themselves in the same way.
