How to cut her baby’s hair

At what age did you cut her hair for the first time?


From eighteen months if he or she has a lot of hair. Otherwise, two years. Then just refresh the cut by shortening all the tips 1 to 2 cm every two to three months.

We sometimes hear people say: “The more you cut them, the stronger and more they will become beautiful”, but this is totally false. Their texture is in fact genetically programmed and their diameter increases with the years until adulthood. The cuts barely prevent the tips from getting damaged.

The ideal conditions for cutting her hair

For this high hairstyle session, we choose a moment of calm, after the nap or the bottle for example. And since baby gets bored quickly, we try to occupy him: it is not for nothing that some specialized hairdressers place TV screens on the styling shelves to broadcast videos during the haircut! But we may prefer to offer him his blanket, a picture book to flip through, a coloring page, etc.

The right position to cut her hair


Indispensable: have a global vision of the cut and be able to turn around Baby. Neither leaning too much at the risk of hurting her back, nor her arms in the air… risk of fatal tremor! The best: we stay upright, the child seated in his high chair.

 

Newborn special


As long as the baby is still unable to sit up on his own, he is placed on the changing table covered with plastic. Lying on your stomach to access the top and back of the head, and then on your back for the front and sides. The very fine hair of the infant is easier to catch if the scalp is lightly wet with a glove.
