And keep them out of your child’s reach!

]]> 60869 1 31 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/155516/31.jpg Use haircutting scissors Use scissors specifically made for haircutting. You may want a few different types for different cutting needs.

]]> 60870 2 36 Tip Beveled blades are best for layered cuts because they have one serrated edge. Short blades make it easier to trim around the ears and the back of the neck, and long blades are good for thick hair.

]]> 60871 3 47 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/155516/47.jpg Sit him down Sit your child somewhere that puts his head near your eye level, like on a countertop or a stool. Just make sure he’s in no danger of falling. You can also sit him on the floor on top of a sheet and kneel behind him.

]]> 60872 4 57 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/155516/57.jpg Occupy him Keep him from getting squirmy by putting on a favorite TV show or DVD.

]]> 60873 5 66 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/155516/66.jpg Wet his hair Put a towel around his neck. Then, dampen his hair with a spray bottle, and comb it through.

]]> 60874 6 74 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/155516/74.jpg Begin at the neck Bend his neck forward so he’s bowing his head, and comb the hair above the neck straight down, stopping at the desired length. Flip the comb up toward you, place the hair between your index and middle fingers, and snip the ends in a straight line. Repeat until all the hair above the neck is the same length.

]]> 60875 7 89 Tip Keep in mind that curly hair dries up to two inches shorter, so trim accordingly.

]]> 60876 8 96 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/155516/96.jpg Chop the top Next tackle the top. Start at the back and work your way forward, stopping at the bangs. Comb a one-inch-thick section of hair straight up, pulling it tight between your index and middle fingers. Slide your fingers up to the length you want, and snip.

]]> 60877 9 109 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/155516/109.jpg Trim the bangs Move on to the bangs. Have him hold his head straight and close his eyes. Then, comb the hair down over his forehead and trim a one-quarter-inch wide section of hair in the middle of the forehead. Use this as your guide to cut the bangs on either side, holding the hair between your index and middle fingers.

]]> 60878 10 127 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/155516/127.jpg Do the sides For the sides, go from top to bottom and back to front. Taking sections of hair no bigger than an inch wide, comb the hair and pull it tight between your index and middle fingers. Slide your fingers down the hair to the length you want, and snip the hair that’s below your fingers.

]]> 60879 11 145 Tip For a more natural look, hold the hair in your fingers vertically, and cut with the scissors held vertically, the tip pointing up.

]]> 60880 12 154 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/155516/154.jpg Show him how he looks Take a step back and look at the big picture to make sure you haven’t missed any spots. Now show him how good his hair looks—and be sure to thank him for being such a good “client.”

]]> 60881 13 161 Fact Blondes have more hair follicles than brunettes, and redheads have the fewest.
