How To Trim Your Little Girls Hair

If your little one screams mightily at the sight of a hair salon, why not give her a haircut yourself and save money.

Tools you need:

• Pair of scissors
• Plastic comb
• Soft brush
• Water sprayer
• Powder
• Blow dryer (optional)
• Cape (optional)
  

Heres how:

1. Wash hair then towel dry, or wet hair using water sprayer. Girls hair is usually fine and smooth, so scissor blades may slide easily as you snip. Avoid this by dampening the hair. Have your child wear a cape so snipped hairs won't fall on her neck and shoulder's, making her itch. Some girls, though, find cape suffocating, so don't force if she resists.

2 .Comb then section hair. Sectioning helps to keep snipping organized. With a comb, part hair in the middle into two sections, but leave hair around the forehead and nape unsectioned. Coil up the left and right sections, then clip in place.

3. Trim smaller sections. Work first with the unsectioned part near the nape. With a comb, gather a small section and hold securely between the index and middle fingers. Guiding the scissors with your fingers, trim hair to desired length. This technique also positions your hand between the scissors and child's head to shield her from the blades should she move. Finish off this part entirely before moving to another section of hair. Once done with the nape, unclip a section of hair on one side of the head. Use the same technique to trim this section. Use length of hair at the nape to guide how long the other sections should be. Comb hair down once in a while to check length against the finished sections.
For an even cut, remember

• Don't cut too much hair at once.

• Dampen hair with water sprayer once it begins to dry.

• Have someone hold the lass's head still to ensure a more accurate cut.

4. Trim bangs last. Comb bangs downward. Little by little, trim across, maintaining an even line. To keep bangs wispy, not too full and thick, fringe to 1/2 inch deep unless you want it longer. As a finish, you can blow dry the hair to add volume.

How to untangle when your child's hair got tangled up

A child, especially if it’s a girl, usually plays around with their wet hair or simply goofing off with grownup hair curlers and rollers which sometime result with your child’s hair getting tangled up. Before deciding to do drastic measures such as cutting your child’s hair. Try doing this simple steps first.

1. Spray a detangler or leave in conditioner and gently comb through the hair.

2. If no detangler is on hand and a bathroom is easily accessible, wet your child’s hair over the sink r in the shower.

3. Pour a generous amount of hair conditioner.

4. Work in the conditioner using your fingers in a tip to scalp fashion. Start out at the ends first and move upwards to the roots.

5. Go slowly, one section at a time. Hold the hair at the roots with one hand while combing the strands with another to avoid any sudden yanks and pulls.

6. Use you fingers to gently comb the conditioner through the strands, loosening up any knots and tangles, and still working your way from the ends upward.

7. Once you feel the tangles begin to loosen up, take a wide tooth comb and gently work through the hair.

8. Rinse and repeat until all knots have been smoothened out.
