Baby's first haircut?
Hi girls,
my lil man, Joshua, is 9 months old and has loads of hair! He has to have a comb over to keep his hair out of his eyes and at the back of his head it looks like he has a mullet!
what age do you give a baby a haircut? i dont want to cut it in case he suddenly moves and i snip an ear or if someone else cuts it and they cut it too short that he wont look like my lil chunky monkey anymore. any suggestions pls girls?

our 2nd dd used to fall asleep while having her hair cut i used to have to put my hand under her chin to keep her head up, once when she woke up it was longer on one side lol she's not so bad now though, i dont think Paige will be a problem as neither of the others were they take after me all like having their hair played with
Im a hairdresser and it is best to get LO's hair cut (or attemp it urself if ur brave enough!!) as soon as they need it doing which is when it either gets long and straggly on the ends or just so long they can't see!! If it gets long and straggly and u don't get it cut then when they are older they will be stuck with fine baby hairs all around the hairline. The more often u get it cut the better condition ur lil mans hair will be when he is older. It will result in Thicker hair as he grows. Lots of people make the mistake especially with girls not to have it cut as they want it to grow nice and long but if it doesn't get regular cutting then it will just be fine with loads of split ends and as i said - the child will have all those fine baby hairs around the hairline to have to deal with later in life.
If u do decide to go to a hairdressers- just to make u feel a bit more at ease i have never cut a child and have had babies very young and toddlers who have had to be restrained in their seats by their parents kicking and screaming. The technique used involves us putting our fingers behind where we cut with our scissors so we will only ever cut ourselves not the child. If u explain that u only want a small bit of hair cut then a good hairstylist will listen and do as u ask and if Joshua is really not co-operative then they won't do it if they feel it will not turn out as u would like it. Hope this helps u anyway
Oh, and in case u were wondering- my lil girl is 7 months and still a baldy and im really willing her hair to grow as i can't wait to give her her first haircut!!!

Well my cousin is a trained stylist so she offered to do it. Im so nervous...silly isnt it! Well I think were going to get her to do it next weekend...my mil offered to do it...uh no thanks! xxx
I would take the child to a hairdresser unless u are qualified urself as we know what we are doing also if you are not qualified and u nic the babies skin or ear and you poke them with the scissors you will never ever forgive yourself for it.
