As the baby grows up, their hair grows thicker and their little head looks cuter. But if the baby's hair is too long, it will be very uncomfortable in summer, especially for babies who can walk. Their activity level increases a lot, and their heads often sweat, which can lead to the growth of prickly heat. Timely hair cutting for babies can prevent heatstroke. So, how to give a one and a half year old baby a haircut?
Be prepared to give your baby a haircut. If parents cannot cut their own hair, it is best to take their baby to a specialized hair salon for a haircut. If parents want to try it themselves and have some experience, they can also give their baby a haircut at home. Firstly, parents need to prepare electric clippers for haircuts, and at least two parents need to cooperate during haircuts.
The best time to give a baby a haircut is in the afternoon when the baby is taking a nap or when the baby wants to sleep at night. At this time, the baby will be relatively quiet, not move around, and can cooperate with adults to get a haircut. Try not to cut your hair when your baby is excited or playful during the day, in order to prevent them from developing resistance or fidgeting. When cutting hair, one parent needs to hold the baby while the other parent does the cutting work.
If cutting hair while the baby is awake, it is best to play some music at the same time to avoid the baby feeling scared when they hear the sound of electric scissors. When getting a haircut, you can start from the top of your head and gradually shave around, and be careful to cover your baby's ears with your hands to protect them. After trimming your hair, you should give your baby a bath to avoid any discomfort caused by scattered hair.
