How to cut a boy with a clipper at home?

A haircut is an integral part of a person's image at any age. The presence of a large number of hairdressing salons makes it possible to quickly get a new image or maintain an existing one. However, not everyone prefers to have their hair cut in hairdressing salons, many successfully do it at home. To easily cope with a haircut, it is important to be able to carry it out correctly, especially when it comes to children. The procedure for cutting a boy's hair at home has its own characteristics that you should know about.

If there is a desire or need to cut your child's hair at home, you need to know how to do it correctly. First of all, a certain haircut is selected, which should suit the age and please the boy. When the decision is made, it is worth picking up the necessary equipment and mastering the basics of the procedure itself. Only after passing all these stages of preparation, you can get to work.

So, the choice of hairstyle will be fundamental, since it is he who will set the final result of the work. For children of different ages, you can choose different haircuts. Toddlers are better off doing something simple so they don't have to waste time styling. The length of the hair should be short, as the structure of the hair can be different, and a model haircut can look unprofitable.

The most popular for children from one year old are the following haircuts:

• "pot";
• "Hat";
• "Beaver";
• under the typewriter.

The "beaver" haircut differs from the two previous options, it is characterized by the shortening of hair on all surfaces, except for the crown. The whiskey needs to be rounded in order to obtain the desired visual effect. This haircut is most common among athletes, so active boys will love it.

The simplest and most reliable option would be a haircut for a clipper, which can be done with one or several attachments. This variability makes it possible to cut hair in one length or make transitions. For the smallest children, the best solution is to choose one attachment so that all hair is the same length. Older boys can be cut with a transition to add a twist to their hairstyle and make the child look more fashionable and stylish.

For teenagers, the above hairstyles remain relevant, but options such as a bob and a haircut with a pattern are added to them. The bob is distinguished by long strands on the sides, a long and lush nape and bangs, which can be of different lengths. Haircuts with a pattern are not within the power of everyone, but with a certain experience and skill, you can master the simplest options. For any of the above haircuts, you can use both a clipper and scissors.

To trim your baby at home, you can use regular scissors or a hair clipper. The first option is appropriate if the hairstyle will be created for an adult boy, otherwise it is unsafe. Clippers can be different, and for the convenience of working with children, they came up with specialized children's devices. Their difference from their adult counterparts is as follows:

• the volume of the device - an adult device emits a rather loud sound, and a child device works much quieter, which will contribute to the comfort of the baby without frightening him;
• safety knives, which are made of ceramics for children's toy cars, which prevents the possibility of cutting the scalp during operation;
• maximum convenience in work - children's cars are created as simple and convenient as possible so that any family member can easily cut a child's hair;
• interesting and bright design of the device will attract the boy's attention, which will make it easy to interest him in the haircut procedure.

To make the boy's haircut process comfortable and productive, it is necessary to prepare everything necessary for the procedure.

• It is desirable to have a chair where it is possible to adjust the height in order to conveniently cut different sections of the hair on the child's head. If this is not possible, then it is worth arranging a place for the child where it will be convenient for him, and it will also be possible to get to all parts of the head to cut them off.
• The cover is used to protect the child's clothes, arms and legs from hair that will be cut off. If you do not use it, then small short hairs will bother the child for a long time, getting stuck in clothes. Such capes can be purchased at the store, made from scrap materials, or simply replaced with plastic wrap.
• A comb with thick teeth to grip the hair well and comb it out for a quality cut.
• Scissors, if the cutting process requires them. If possible, it is worth buying special scissors for cutting hair, which have sharper blades and provide a faster cutting process and a better result.In the kit, you can purchase thinning scissors, which are needed for certain hairstyles. If it is not possible to buy all this, it is worth finding the highest quality and sharpest household scissors and cutting them.
• A spray bottle that draws water to moisturize the hair. This procedure allows you to more accurately determine the length of the hairline, smooth it and trim it evenly.
• Hair clipper. For children, it is better to choose a specialized children's car with attachments.

For a child, cutting hair can be a real challenge, especially if it is the first time or the baby is very small. To minimize stress, it is worth preparing the child in advance, talking with him, talking about the process, showing a video of haircuts and the finished result. It is very important to focus on the joy of the children after they have seen the final result, so that it becomes interesting for the baby to have a haircut. The first time it is better to have a haircut at home, so that the child's hair touches mom or dad. The conditions of the hairdressing salon will be new for the crumbs, which can become a reason for fear. A stranger, a loudly buzzing machine can cause the boy's unpleasant sensations, which he will remember for a long time and after that the procedure for a home haircut will become many times more difficult.

If parents have experience with hair, then it will be easier for them to cope with the process of creating a new hairstyle for the baby. For beginners, it is important to know certain nuances, and most importantly, to follow the technique and monitor the child's reaction. The boy's haircut pattern will not differ much, depending on the hairstyle model.

In order to cut the child yourself correctly, you must follow all the instructions step by step.

We start work from the back of the head, for which a nozzle with the maximum length is selected. To begin with, it will be enough to walk the machine just once to remove the bulk of unnecessary hair. The cutting process must be carried out rather slowly, drive the machine at an average pace so that it has time to cut all the hairs with high quality. This process will allow the child to relax and not be afraid to cut their hair.

Trim your hair from the bottom up, rising from the bottom edge to the crown. First of all, the central part of the head is clipped, and then its lateral parts. When the length of the hair on the back of the head becomes the same, you can move on to other parts of the head.

The next area to work on will be the side of the head, where special attention should be paid to the temporal area and hair removal near the ears, since there is a high risk of injury to the baby's skin. In this case, it is even more important to work slowly and very carefully.

Once the main part of the work is done, you need to remove the attachment from the machine and walk along the edge of the hairstyle to align it by making the edging. This procedure is suitable for calm children who can withstand the entire haircut procedure without any problems.

It is not so difficult to make a neat hairstyle for a child at home. The main thing is to understand the essence of the procedure and do everything carefully. The technique of carrying out the work allows in a short time to free the head from excess hair and give the baby a neat and tidy appearance.Children's hairstyle is a test for an inexperienced master, because, in addition to the need for some experience with hair, you need to cope with a little fidget, who is unlikely to be able to sit quietly for a long time. Simple hairstyles require only the presence of a typewriter and the skill of a parent, while creating something more beautiful will take time.

A fashionable hairstyle contains many more components that require experience, and an older child who wants to get a cool hairstyle himself and will sit quietly for this as long as it takes. In the case of the first haircut or the desire to immobilize the child, you just need to put on his favorite cartoon or program, all his attention will be concentrated there.

For a simpler haircut, you can use a clipper with a single attachment. The procedure will take place as follows:

The hair of the occipital region is cut out - the maximum length of the nozzle is set on the machine, while it is enough to make one pass;

Passing the device over the head, it is important to press it tightly, but not to press with great zeal, otherwise it will cause serious discomfort to the baby; you do not need to tilt the machine at any angle, it should be kept level.

Trim the side of the head on each side.

If the child allows it, it is better to walk through the hair again, setting the minimum length of the attachment to remove possible unevenness, adding neatness to the hairstyle.

With one attachment, you can quickly cut off excess hair, relieving your child of them if they start to create discomfort. This option is especially convenient for the smallest, unable to withstand long procedures. If the baby is very afraid of the car, you can try using scissors, which cut quietly, but are less safe, so it is important to instruct the child how to behave and what should not be done in any case.

For older children, you can think of more interesting hairstyles that require several attachments. One of the simplest, but still in vogue, is a "hat" for which you must adhere to the following algorithm of actions:

1. cut off all the hair on the head, moving from the back of the head through the sides of the head to the crown, using the attachment with the longest length;
2. further, a shorter nozzle is used, with the help of which the hair on the back of the head, from the neck to the middle of the head, is cut;
3. so that the difference between long and shorter hair is not clearly visible, it must be additionally worked out with a machine, having previously raised the transition line with a comb; only the back part or the elongated top and trimmed sides and back of the head can be shorter.

A haircut with two attachments is more difficult, but with some experience, it can also be easily dealt with, delighting the child with stylish hairstyles. Using the clipper for the first time, you should familiarize yourself with how short each of the attachments cuts in order to combine them correctly. Using nozzles that are too similar in length will not give the desired effect. Using scissors and a clipper together is the most appropriate option, but requires a fairly good technique of owning this equipment. Gradually, you can add scissors to a machine haircut, accustoming the child to them and gradually improving their skills in using them.
