How I Get My Toddler To Sit Still While Styling His Hair

Hey y'all and welcome back to my channel in today's video i'm going to show you six tips on how to get your toddler to sit still and cooperate while styling their hair. We know it can be challenging so without further ado, let's get into it. Okay, so my first tip is to set the environment. I make sure that before getting started with his hair, he's distracted, so i usually schedule his breakfast and tv time at this time of day, which is in the morning, and i usually also have some toys and books as well tip number two is to make sure That all of your products are nearby you. We don't have time to be moving back and forth, trying to get products that we forgot make sure you have everything with you once you get started. So one additional tip that i wanted to throw out. There is to make sure that you're using water before you add any product to the hair, it makes the detangling process so much easier. So tip number three is to know the time of day that you are going to consistently do your baby's hair. I try to get his hair done pretty early in the day. This is because he has relatively low energy still around this time and he's still fairly calm, so tip number four is to finger detangle as much as possible. I like to finger detangle with water and product before using his detangling brush. It makes the process go by so much smoother and quicker, so tip number five involves using the brush. So when i'm using the brush, i try to hold his hair down to the scalp. So that if any tangles arise he's not feeling it too much, i hope that made sense. So basically, here he's starting to become a little restless. That'S okay, give him some time to recuperate and get it together and then proceed, and so here you see us getting it together. You see the smile come again. Okay, y'all tip number six know your baby's tender spots, so this is the most important one for me. I know that the sides and the back of his head are the most tender. So i know what to expect, but just be patient, try to distract from the hair situation as much as possible redirect their attention and it's okay, they're going to move they're babies they're not made to sit still right. Another suggestion, if you have an older toddler, maybe give them a little break, so just so y'all know i'm not pulling on his hair or anything i'm trying to move quickly, because this is the part where we usually have our run-ins, and so i'm trying to be Patient with him, and i'm trying to do it quickly, so that we can be one and done so we're pretty much finished here, i'm just going in one last time to define his curls, but i still need him to cooperate with me for a little bit longer. So i'm giving him a book so that he can go ahead and make himself busy, as i finish up, all right y'all. That is a wrap. We just finished another successful here day.
