In this guide, we'll take you through the steps on how to cut toddler girl hair with scissors.
Description
Cutting your toddler girl's hair with scissors can save you money and allow you to have control over her haircut. It can also be a fun bonding experience for you and your child. However, it's important to use the proper technique and tools to ensure a safe and successful haircut.
How To
Before getting started, gather the necessary tools: a pair of sharp scissors, a comb, a spray bottle, and hair clips. It's also helpful to have a mirror set up so you can see the back of your child's head.
Step 1: Start with clean, dry hair
It's best to cut your toddler girl's hair when it's clean and dry. This will give you a better idea of the true length and texture of her hair. Use the spray bottle to lightly mist her hair if it's too dry.
Step 2: Section the hair
Use the comb to section off the hair. Start by parting down the middle of her head, then create a horizontal part at the back of her head. Clip the top section out of the way.
Step 3: Start cutting
Starting at the nape of her neck, comb out a small section of hair. Hold the hair between your fingers and use the scissors to cut straight across. Be sure to only cut a small amount at a time to avoid cutting too much off.
Step 4: Work your way up
Continue cutting small sections of hair, working your way up to the top section of her hair. Be sure to keep the sections even and consistent in length.
Step 5: Cut the top section
Unclip the top section of her hair and comb it straight up. Use your fingers to hold the hair between your index and middle fingers and cut straight across. This will create layers and add texture to her hair.
Step 6: Trim the bangs
If your toddler girl has bangs, trim them last. Comb the bangs straight down and cut them in a straight line, being careful not to cut them too short. You can always trim more later if needed.
