How does your little one handle hair cuts?

Question

My son is absolutely terrified, screams, cries and shakes during hair cuts. It is horrible to watch, and I haven’t been having his hair cut for awhile due to his reaction the first two times. His hair is getting long and about to be in his eyes so I need to do it, but don’t want him to scream and cry. Any tips? Do you do the hair cuts yourself or take them to a hair cutting place?

Answer

I did it myself, watched lots of youtube vidos how to cut hair and now I give haircut to all my family members lol 🤣

Answer

Lots and lots of distractions haha 😂

Answer

I have two girls and they have always both had a lot of hair even at birth. Also it never grew in weirdly or anything where we would have to cut it to even it out. Thank God because the way my kids are I honestly don't think they could handle haircuts. They are currently 3 and 18 months.

Answer

I do them myself, little by little over a day or two 😂 I try to distract her with food or a toy we don't bring out often.

Answer

My son looooves figuring out how to get the cash out of my husband's wallet. That's how we got through his haircut this past weekend. And the barber was super fast.

Answer

Any time I did it myself my son would lose his mind. I took him to a hairdresser and he sat there quietly and didn't move until she was done. Not sure if he was just confused but it was great... Hopefully it will go like that the next time around!

Answer

I had this issue with my son... he’d scream, cry, tremble, but we just kept working at it and taking him to the same place so that it could be a routine. I’d hold him, we read stories about hair cuts, there are episodes of Sesame Street on it. It slowly got easier with each cut. He just turned 3 and we had our first haircut with no tears, shaking or anything. Now he wants to go back because of the routine of park and picnic afterwards. We just loved him through it... validated him and his feelings.

Answer

My kids just don’t grow hair, still no hair cuts for either my 16m old or 3.5 year old. Maybe one day!
