When trimming a bang to a child, it should be noted that ophthalmologists do not advise children to cut bangs with long strands, because the hair may fall on the eyes, which will adversely affect the child's vision. If you are just beginning to think about whether it is worth cutting a fringe to a child under one year old, then you should heed the advice of pediatricians, who believe that timely haircut of children can make it easier for parents to take care of the baby’s head.

If you first cut the bangs for a child, it is recommended that you first make it rare and, if necessary, add density with the help of adjacent hair. If you are aimed at getting thick, dense bangs, it is recommended to select hair from the top of the head, and then make thinning work using special scissors.
It should also be noted that the round shape of the bangs can give the person a special prettiness. So, such models can often be seen in girls, while boys often cut their bangs shorter.
Hairdressers have come up with a lot of different types of bangs, so limited to a simple straight model is not necessary. So, bangs can have the following forms:
- straight;
- stepped;

You can make a haircut in a playing manner, first cut the doll, hold the machine, listen to how evenly and loudly it buzzes, teach the child to use a spray bottle and comb.
Shearing time also plays an important role, you should choose a period when the child is full, calm and does not want to sleep. It is also advisable to call an assistant who is able to divert the child’s attention.
You have prepared the tools, now you should seat the baby on a chair, give him interesting things that you have prepared to distract attention. For convenience, a small child (up to 2-3 years) is better to sit on the table.If you cut with scissors, you first need to sprinkle the trimmed area with water. Then comb the hair, hold the forefinger with the index and middle fingers and cut. Trim up the head to the top of the head, while cutting the hair to the height of the fingers.
After the crown go to the temples and the back of the head. At the end it is recommended to once again walk through the hair and eliminate irregularities, trim the forelock.
You can make a piping, gently tilting your ears, and cut your hair, then walk with scissors along the edge of the occipital region.
If you decide to use the machine, you must set the hair length to about 1-1.5 cm, it is not necessary to moisten the strands. First cut the occipital region, slowly moving to the crown, then the temporal part. At the end align the forelock and scissors to produce a fringing. After the haircut, the child can wash their hair to wash off the cropped hairs and avoid possible irritation of the delicate skin.

- First, brush the bangs up and pinch the hair with your fingers, then carefully cut off a couple of centimeters. Thus, we create the effect of thinning.
- We wet the hair in front and check the symmetry of the bangs area you selected. We comb and, holding a strand of hair between the fingers, slightly pulling it down, lower the fingers to an imaginary cut line, thereby giving the desired shape.
- First you can work with the left side, and then go to the right side of the bang. So when combing you will be easier to trim hairs.
- Exactly we cut off the hair, while the fingers should touch the head, this will help to avoid the “ladder” effect. It is believed that bangs up to the eyebrows are the best option, but it is necessary to take into account that after drying the hair will appear shorter than in the “stretched” wet look. Thus, trim the bang just below the eyebrow line.
- We check the symmetry of the bangs by bringing together extreme strands over the bridge of the nose.
- To the hair adjacent to the bangs, do not interfere with a haircut, it is necessary to stab them on the sides.
- In boys, the bangs should be wider than in girls, so the bangs will blend in better with a short haircut.
