It’s easier, quicker, and cheaper to cut your child’s hair than to bring him to a stylist. So why not just do it yourself?
Warning
Haircutting scissors are sharp, so handle them carefully. And keep them out of your child’s reach!
Step 1: Use haircutting scissors
Use scissors specifically made for haircutting. You may want a few different types for different cutting needs.
Tip
Beveled blades are best for layered cuts because they have one serrated edge. Short blades make it easier to trim around the ears and the back of the neck, and long blades are good for thick hair.
Step 2: Sit him down
Sit your child somewhere that puts his head near your eye level, like on a countertop or a stool. Just make sure he’s in no danger of falling. You can also sit him on the floor on top of a sheet and kneel behind him.
Step 3: Occupy him
Keep him from getting squirmy by putting on a favorite TV show or DVD.
Step 4: Wet his hair
Put a towel around his neck. Then, dampen his hair with a spray bottle, and comb it through.
Step 5: Begin at the neck
Bend his neck forward so he’s bowing his head, and comb the hair above the neck straight down, stopping at the desired length. Flip the comb up toward you, place the hair between your index and middle fingers, and snip the ends in a straight line. Repeat until all the hair above the neck is the same length.
Tip
Keep in mind that curly hair dries up to two inches shorter, so trim accordingly.
Step 6: Chop the top
Next tackle the top. Start at the back and work your way forward, stopping at the bangs. Comb a one-inch-thick section of hair straight up, pulling it tight between your index and middle fingers. Slide your fingers up to the length you want, and snip.
Step 7: Trim the bangs
Move on to the bangs. Have him hold his head straight and close his eyes. Then, comb the hair down over his forehead and trim a one-quarter-inch wide section of hair in the middle of the forehead. Use this as your guide to cut the bangs on either side, holding the hair between your index and middle fingers.
Step 8: Do the sides
For the sides, go from top to bottom and back to front. Taking sections of hair no bigger than an inch wide, comb the hair and pull it tight between your index and middle fingers. Slide your fingers down the hair to the length you want, and snip the hair that’s below your fingers.
Tip
For a more natural look, hold the hair in your fingers vertically, and cut with the scissors held vertically, the tip pointing up.
Step 9: Show him how he looks
Take a step back and look at the big picture to make sure you haven’t missed any spots. Now show him how good his hair looks—and be sure to thank him for being such a good 'client.'
Did You Know?
Blondes have more hair follicles than brunettes, and redheads have the fewest.
Comments
TawneyS24: I love that you left it long! Our 2yo has longer hair than my first, and all the videos I saw previous to this were with clippers and guards. We like it longer because of his curls!
Caitlin Hostetter: Totally helped me get layers into my son's hair-- just cut as much off as you want.
Cursewordbekka: Thanks! My boy has special needs and is afraid to cut his hair, so going to a stylist is bot an option. But now he needs a haircut for Christmas. This was very helpful!

joy garcia: Thank you for this video! That was very informative.
Peanut: I have cut my son's who's three since March 2020 and each time I've got better and better at it. I'd not bother with a salon again. I sit him on his low chair and I sit on the floor. It works well. I use hairdressing scissors and thinning scissors.
MoonlightWhispers ASMR: My little one has the exact hair as that boys , same color length and style but I'm scared to try this I got confused pretty quickly lol ugh
Jane Doe: The steps did become a little intimidating but i think there are some good basics to follow in there

Potsbox: I’m a mother of 20 thank you I made my child sit in the corner for 5 hours so he would learn a little thing about being patient
Marthe Endresen: Bend head forward? haha, good one. No way I could get my boy to have his head in the position I want for a prolonged period of time without physically restraining him (he is 20 months)

felix: Good haircut, this boy looks good with longer hair. Kids and teenagers have beautiful thick hair. It's pity to shave it short.
Neha Vikas: one more thing you need with kids... that is, PATIENCE. Be ready to stop if kids are fussy. Try next day with same love and PATIENCE
Pug_Princess: she didn't cut any hair.
Neha Vikas: Its not being cheap but being self dependent. My kid sits for 2mins max. He would not let the barber touch his hair. Will cry at top volume. Barbers dont have so much of patience as much as a mom/parents have. I cut my kids hair little bit every weekend. Duration of haircut is till he is not fussy. THere is no barber that can do that at resonable cost... Cutting hair at home is best option...
Mocha: I wanna cut my little brothers hair but my mom doesn’t want me to She doesn’t have faith in me ✌
Sinful Soul: @gigi2924 i always cut my own hair and i actually STYLE it. im 13. now, the people who read this will flip out and start being mean, just a warning, no one gives a shit when you cut your hair at what age :)

Lorraine Sekera: Why do hair dressers cut with the tips of scissors *into* the hair instead of straight across with the flat part of the scissors? They never explained that.

M.P. McDonald: The steps were good, but really, she only cut about a millimeter of hair. Not helpful for getting an idea of how to cut the hair so that it looks good. This little boy is cute, but his hair looked exactly the same before and after.
xilent234: awwwww! He's soooooooo CUTE!!!!
Deborah Meyer: as a mother and a grandmother I think the parent could help prep the child to buy plain Barber at Home in the high chair giving them something then to play with her read or munch that way if you do use a salon they will not be so intimidated

Ghosting: @Sugarlandjackson It's where your hair grows out of. It's not that big of a deal.
Jason Todd: @melindamelcher "To long" for a boy? That is a very sexist remark. Saying that boys are "supposed" to have short hair and that they cannot choose what length they can have their OWN hair?????? This video upsets me in many ways. Saying that kids can't pick THEIR OWN HAIR LENGTH! I am a 14 year old gifted male who's hair is below his waist and I LOVE IT. Just like circumcision, HIS body, HIS choice.
