Are you tired of paying for expensive haircuts for your toddler boy? With the right tools and a little bit of practice, you can easily cut your toddler's hair at home with clippers. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to achieve a great haircut for your little one.
How to
Before you begin cutting your toddler's hair, it's important to gather the necessary tools. You'll need:
- Clipper with guard attachments
- Scissors
- Comb
- Haircutting cape or old towel
- Spray bottle with water
Once you have your tools ready, follow these steps:
Step 1: Prep
Start by washing your toddler's hair and towel-drying it. Then, put on the haircutting cape or old towel to protect their clothing.
Step 2: Choose Guard
Decide on the length you want for your toddler's hair and choose the appropriate guard for your clippers. It's best to start with a longer guard and work your way down if needed.
Step 3: Start Cutting
Begin by using the clippers to cut the hair on the sides and back of your toddler's head. Start at the bottom and work your way up, going against the direction of hair growth. Use the comb to lift the hair and trim any longer strands with scissors.
Step 4: Cut Top
Next, move to the top of your toddler's head. Use the comb to lift the hair and cut it to the desired length with the clippers. Again, use scissors to trim any longer strands.
Step 5: Blend
To blend the top and sides, use the clippers without a guard to trim the hair around the ears and neckline. Use the comb to blend any harsh lines.
Step 6: Finish
Once you're done cutting, use the spray bottle to wet the hair and comb it to check for any uneven spots. Make any necessary adjustments with the clippers or scissors.

- Start with clean hair to make it easier to cut
- Use a steady hand and go slow to avoid any accidents
