How to cut a boy with scissors at home?

"Little men" need to look neat and tidy. To do this, you have to trim or trim the hair at least a couple of times a month. But such regular visits to the hairdresser are not always convenient, and the family budget significantly affects it. You can trim your child's hair at home. The article will discuss how to do it correctly and accurately.

Of course, there is no need to equip a real hair salon at home. It is advisable only to prepare some tools and accessories that will greatly facilitate your work.

• The child is best to cut sitting. In this case, he does not get tired and can be as motionless as possible. And in order to be comfortable with scissors, the seat should not be too low or too high. The best option is when the head of the child is approximately at the level of your chest.
• The back of the chair should not be high, so as not to close the head sitting. If the furniture in your home is too low, place 1–2 cushions on the seat. Thus, you will adjust the height of the child's landing to the one that is most convenient.
• So that after the procedure, do not waste time on sweeping the hair off the baby’s clothes, take care of the cape. In its role a thin film or an old polyethylene tablecloth of the desired size can act. You can fasten it with the help of stationery clips or household pegs.

• Water spray. A regular spray bottle and plastic bottle will do.

• Hair clipper. You may need it for cutting individual sections, depending on the hairstyle you choose.

• Comb or comb with frequent small teeth.

• Well, the main tool, without which a haircut is unthinkable is scissors. Here they are best purchased in specialized departments.

The fact is that household or office scissors do not have sufficient strength and sharpness of the cutting surfaces. Therefore, the hairs they do not cut, but for the most part break. This complicates the work of the trimmer, and the child takes a lot of discomfort. And the result, most likely, will not be very accurate.

Sometimes children, especially those of preschool age, do not tolerate the cutting process. Because of this, during each visit to the hairdresser they have to pacify their tears and whims. Perhaps the home environment will soften the situation a bit, and your child will behave calmly.

Tell the boy in advance that you will be cutting it. Let him hold scissors and other tools. If a child protests very strongly against the haircut that is coming, try to present it as a game to him. Mom or dad will be a hairdresser, and he will be a well-mannered and intelligent boy who has come to cut hair. You can also promise a child for a good behavior any reward, for example, a favorite sweetness.

Perhaps, during the haircut, another problem will arise. Children are often very difficult to get sitting still. To divert the attention of the child during the process, turn on the cartoon. You can also ask your older sister or grandmother to read him a fairy tale.

As for the hair, they do not require any special preparation before cutting. It is advisable that they are just clean.

• Seat the child on a chair and cover it with a cape from the shoulders, securing its upper edge around the neck.
• Spray the hair out of the spray bottle so that it is moderately soaked over the entire length.
• Ask the boy to tilt his head slightly and hold her in that position.

• Start with hair that grows on the back of the head above the neck. Comb them and separate the small strand. Grab it with your fingers and cut the tips to the desired length.
• Take your time when working. Learning how to cut with scissors is not difficult, the main thing is to act carefully. Visually, remember how much you straightened your hair.
• Choosing the length of the cut, remember that after drying, the hairs will be slightly shortened. So cut off with a “stock”.
• In the same way, separating the strands, make the edging. That is, cut the hair from the neck to the ears to the same length.
• Next, focusing on the already trimmed strands, remove the length on the upper and lateral parts of the head. All hair should be visually the same.
• We cut the bangs at our discretion. Too short will bristle, so it makes sense to leave a strand above your forehead a little longer.

In this way, you will get the simplest neat haircut. It is well suited for boys of preschool age.

For older boys, the following option may be appropriate - shortened hair on the back of the head, with more elongated and voluminous top.

• Splash some water on your hair for sufficient moisture.
• Slightly tilt the head of the child so that you can see the back of the head well.
• Comb all the hair, then divide it into two halves. The line of separation must pass from the ear to the ear through the back of the head. To do this, swipe along the designated path of the comb, making a horizontal parting.
• To the hair from the front and top of the head you do not interfere, pinch their clips or invisible.
• Separate a small strand at the bottom, cut it to the desired length. Next, shorten all the hair to the line of your parting, focusing on the strand, trimmed very first. As a result, the hair on the occipital, lower lateral and temporal parts should be the same.
• Remove the clips and clips from the top of the hair. Here you need to leave a length of about 2-2.5 times more than at the back and sides of the head. Cut the hairs also in small strands, tracking the length.
• For a more stylish look, use thinning scissors at the end. Treat them to the hair on the top and top of the head, that is, those areas that are longer. Just run them along the strands from the base to the tips. These scissors selectively thin out hairs, making a beautiful “ladder”.

When you master the work of ordinary and thinning scissors, you can not just remove the length of the hair, but also experiment with style. Below are descriptions of popular haircuts for boys of senior preschool and primary school age (6-12 years).

• "Under the pot" - a fairly common hairstyle. It suits boys with straight, not too thick hair. The haircut is distinguished by a rather long bang and an even cut of the hair along the line around the head circumference. The length of the "shock" should reach the ears or a couple of centimeters below.The hair on the lower part of the neck is clipped almost under the “hedgehog” with the help of a typewriter.

• Nuchal strand extension is a very stylish reception. The strand can be braided with a thin pigtail or left uncool. At the same time, the rest of the hair is clipped under the “hedgehog” or slightly longer.

• Haircuts with a pattern very popular among adolescents and boys of transition age. With the help of a clipped pattern on the temporal part or on the back of the head, a “little man” can declare his individuality. Creating a pattern, of course, will require some skill. But with due diligence to master this technique will turn out at home.

• Classic "bean" can decorate a boy with regular features. Hair length varies and can reach the chin. But when wearing this hairstyle will have to take care of timely washing of hair. Otherwise they turn into dangling greasy curls.

• Haircut "beaver" is a more sporty type of "pot". The difference is that this model has long hairstyles and only long hair. The contours of the "shovel" as much as possible rounded

• For young children, a very fashionable haircut is not so important. Cut the boy in such a way that both him and your hair will not cause inconvenience.
• Be extremely careful when working with scissors. Intelligently explain to your child that during the haircut you do not need to move your head, turn around or stand up.
• Do not try to mow the baby when he is in a bad mood or, on the contrary, is excited by something. Carefully cut the hair in this case still does not work, besides, you risk injuring him or yourself.
• So that the child does not have a negative mood for cutting in the future, be sure to praise him for good behavior. Give a positive feedback about his new haircut. Tell me that he looks so much more mature and beautiful.

• Consider the type of face and, at least partially, the desire of the “smallest man” about his hair. You must admit that it’s very unpleasant to have that look that you don’t like at all.
• Do not strive to make a trendy haircut to a little boy. It looks inappropriate and pretentious.
• Also, do not make the boys hairstyles that require styling. The child himself will definitely not do this. Moreover, during active games, gels and varnishes will not save anyway, and their use significantly weakens weak, thin hair.
