Neat framing of the baby's face is very important for many mothers. After all, we all want to admire our child, and a child, be it a girl or a boy, often strives to be like a mom or dad, to adopt both their personal qualities and external characteristics. Cutting the bangs of a child on their own will not be difficult if you know the main points.
Peculiarities
When cutting bangs for a child, it should be noted that ophthalmologists do not advise children to cut bangs with long strands, because hair can fall on the eyes, which will negatively affect the child's vision. If you are just starting to think whether it is worth cutting the bangs of a child under one year old, then you should heed the advice of pediatricians, who believe that timely haircuts for children can make it easier for parents to take care of the child's head.

If the baby's hair grows quickly and has already begun to interfere with him, cutting the bangs becomes not just a whim of the parents, but also the first necessity.
If this is your first time cutting a child's bangs, it is recommended to first make it sparse, and if necessary, add thickness with the help of adjacent hair. If you are aiming at getting thick, dense bangs, then it is recommended to select hair from the crown of the head, and then carry out thinning work using special scissors.

It should also be noted that the rounded bangs can give the face a special cuteness. So, such models can often be seen on girls, while boys' bangs are often cut shorter.

What do you need?
The first haircut, in order to avoid stressful situations, is recommended to be done at home, in a child's usual atmosphere. To do this, you need to carefully prepare, purchase scissors with blunt ends in order to ensure maximum safety for your baby. If you plan on using a clipper, you should use a less noisy and safer baby model.

The bright color and drawings on the typewriter will distract the child, he will perceive it as a toy. You will also need a comb with dull teeth so as not to scratch your skin, perhaps a wooden or plastic one.
It is recommended to buy combs with bright colors in double quantity, since during the haircut the child may become interested in this thing, and he will ask to play with it.
Prepare a spray bottle for scissors. We also recommend purchasing a few new exciting toys or getting some forgotten ones, this will ensure the baby's peace of mind while cutting. You can make a haircut in a playful manner, first cut the doll, let the machine hold, listen to how evenly and loudly it buzzes, teach the child how to use a spray bottle and a comb.

The time of the haircut 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 sit the baby on a chair, give him interesting things that you have prepared to distract attention. For convenience, it is better to seat a small child (up to 2-3 years old) on the table. If you are cutting with scissors, first spray the area to be trimmed with water. Then we comb the hair, pinch the forelock with the index and middle fingers and cut it off. We cut up the head to the very crown, while cutting the hair to the height of the fingers.

After the crown, we move on to the temples and the back of the head. At the end, it is recommended to walk through the hair again and eliminate irregularities, trim the forelock.
You can trim the piping by gently tilting your ears and trim your hair, then use scissors around the edge of the back of your head.
If you decide to use a typewriter, then you need to set the length of the hair to about 1-1.5 cm, you do not need to wet the strands. First, cut the occipital region, slowly moving towards the crown, then the temporal part. At the end, align the forelock and trim it with scissors. After a haircut, you can wash your child's hair to rinse off cut hairs and avoid possible irritation of delicate skin.

How to cut?
Next, we will consider the subtleties of the correct haircut for bangs that will help you achieve a good result.
- First, comb the bangs up and pinch the hair with your fingers, then carefully cut off a couple of centimeters. Thus, we create a thinning effect.
- Wet the hair in front and check the symmetry of the bangs you selected. Comb and, holding a strand of hair between your fingers, pulling a little, lower your fingers to an imaginary cut line, thereby giving the desired shape.
- You can work on the left side first and then work your way down to the right side of the bangs. This will make it easier to trim the hairs when brushing.
- Cut off the hair evenly, while fingers should be in contact with the head, this will help to avoid the "ladder" effect. It is believed that brow-length bangs are the best option, but it should be noted that after drying, hair will appear shorter than when it is "taut" wet. Thus, we cut the bangs just below the eyebrow line.
- We check the symmetry of the bangs by bringing the extreme strands above the bridge of the nose.
- To prevent the hair adjacent to the bangs from interfering with the haircut, it is necessary to pin them on the sides.
- For boys, the bangs should be wider than for girls, so the bangs will better harmonize with a short haircut.

Based on the foregoing, it will not be difficult for a child to cut the bangs. It is only important to mentally prepare your baby for this procedure, if he is still very small.
It will be calmer and more interesting for the baby if it is the mother who does the haircut at home, and not an unfamiliar woman with an incomprehensible buzzing thing. It's much easier with older children, you just need to first select the desired bang shape and think about its density. So, adhering to the recommendations, you can independently beautifully cut your child, while giving the face aesthetics and prettiness.
