Many adults are rightly worried about how to cut their child without screaming and whims. After all, a trip to the hairdresser can end in a spoiled mood for both the fidget and his mother. In this article, we will share simple tips that will allow even the most capricious children to get a neat hairstyle.
Barber is not scary
- Choose a beauty parlor that specializes in young clients. In such rooms, traditional armchairs have been replaced with colorful cars, helicopters and steam locomotives. Which toddler would refuse to take the driver's seat in a stylish car? Contact a specialist who knows how to find an approach to a person of any age;
- How to explain to a baby that you can trust your aunt with scissors in her hands? Of course, using my mother's or father's example. Having decided to arrange another beauty session for yourself, take your offspring at the same time. Let him observe the process from the side and find out why a cape and other accessories are needed;
- Together with the master, you can choose a haircut that will please your child. Just don't dwell on an overly complex option. Then the stylist will cope much faster, and, in the event of a sudden hysteria, the little one will not be left with half of his head not trimmed.
Let's play hairdresser
- The kid is able to get scared even of harmless manipulations, so you should prepare him in advance. During the "bath" procedures, gently spray your hair with warm water, explaining that this is what the stylist aunt does. After sitting him down in front of the mirror, turn on the hairdryer. Tell that it is a gentle breeze blowing. But the whirring of a clipper is like a bee;
- So that children are not afraid of scissors, donate a lush doll hair or bangs from someone from a relative. Trim the hair off them first, showing that they are not in pain. Then you can trim a few hairs from the baby. Make sure he doesn't have any negative feelings;
- Long before the "debut" teach him to touch his head: gently stroke the curls, tousle them, arrange a relaxing massage. The more often you do this, the less inconvenience it will cause your offspring to touch other people's fingers.
Hairstyle without problems
- Anticipate what may frighten the baby or what he will not like. For example, some children prefer their own diaper or towel rather than a cape. Or they do not like it when cut hairs are blown off with a hairdryer, choosing a damp napkin;
- Children's hairs are very fine and, despite the protective cover, they still end up on clothes and skin, causing irritation. Be sure to bring a changeable blouse or T-shirt with you to change later;
- Sign up for a strictly defined time: before or after naps, when your fidget is active and full of energy. Do not forget to eat well before your visit so that hunger does not catch him at the most inopportune moment. If the child gets sick, cancel the appointment right away. Let him remember the first visit to the salon as a real holiday;
- Behave very calmly and kindly, do not be nervous so that the baby does not become infected with your anxiety. If he starts crying while he is being cut, offer to play with his favorite toy or distract him with an interesting story. If you can't calm him down, just walk away. Perhaps in a couple of weeks the next trip will be more successful;
- The first haircut of a little toddler will probably last long enough, so be patient. Praise him for good behavior, tell him how handsome he is now. Take a look in the mirror together to admire your new hairstyle.
