Cutting The Baby’s Hair: Here’s How To Do It!
Patience
The hairdresser knows her moves inside and out to cut the baby’s hair. However, it may be difficult when the little child’s head is scurrying around on the chair, examining everything new. It can help if you go to a special baby hairdresser who is familiar with the little rascals. This one may also have some great car seats or rocking horses to sit on while the action is happening. In addition, it is important to remember that for a toddler, everything may seem new and exciting, or even scary, especially during the first visit to the hairdresser.
Preparation
It’s best to think about what hairstyle is suitable before you visit the hairdresser at home, if you want to have your baby’s hair cut. Baby hair is very delicate and thin and should not be too long to allow easy gentle brushing without pulling. Curls look cute, however, you should also stick to a reasonable length, because you have to remember that a baby lies on a pillow most of the time and the delicate hair quickly becomes tousled and nests are formed. Surely the hairdresser will be happy to help with a brief consultation.
Distraction
Once the little one sits on the chair, half is already done. Now it is important to keep them entertained. The head should remain as still as possible to avoid miscuts or injuries. It is therefore advisable to have a small toy to keep the little one occupied. A small children’s book with a “captivating” story is also possible, and there you have it. Perhaps the little one is allowed a short petting with the bushy hairdresser’s brush and then one is already looking forward to the next visit.
Tips And Hints
- Hair loss during the first year of life is completely normal – the skin cycle has not yet developed properly during this time.
- Warm water and a soft sponge are perfectly sufficient for cleaning during the first months!
- Cradle cap and flakes can be removed very well and gently with baby oil.
- From the sixth month, you can have the baby’s hair cut.
