Cutting Liam's hair is always an adventure. We've never taken him to get it cut professionally because I don't want to pay for it, and I'm afraid he would scream and cry the whole time. This summer I managed to buzz his hair with the clippers once, but he won't let me get near him with those again. I think he's afraid of the noise.
Since I'm stuck with only using scissors now, I've been doing very careful trims, and removing only small amounts of hair. This means I have to cut his hair often because it takes no time to grow long and shaggy again.
A couple weeks ago I ran across a link on Pinterest with a 'how to' post on giving little boys a crew cut with scissors. It seemed simple enough, so I gave it a try yesterday. Here's how it turned out:

It's not perfect by any means. There are a couple spots I cut too short, and others where you can see the lines from the scissors. I'll keep trying though, and maybe Brent will even let me give it a shot on his head ;)

Oh man... haircuts are stressful for me. The pics look great! Nice work, Anna.
ReplyDeleteIt is NOT EASY to cut hair on a baby!!! I've had to do it many times when I worked in a salon and it was always nerve wracking and stressful. But it looks like you did a good job! :) Keep at it!!!
