Cutting your toddler girl's hair with clippers can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. With the right tools and techniques, you can give your little one a stylish haircut from the comfort of your own home. In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to cut toddler girl hair with clippers.
How to
Before you start cutting your toddler girl's hair, make sure you have the following tools:
- Clippers
- Clippers guards
- Scissors
- Comb
- Spray Bottle
- Towel
Once you have all the tools, follow these steps:
Step 1: Get Your Toddler Girl Ready
Make sure your toddler girl is comfortable and not fidgety. You can give her a toy or a snack to keep her occupied. Cover her with a towel to protect her clothes from hair clippings.
Step 2: Choose the Right Clippers Guard
The clippers guard number determines the length of the hair. Choose the right guard depending on the length you want to cut. Start with a longer guard and gradually go shorter if needed.
Step 3: Wet the Hair
Spray the hair with water using a spray bottle. Wetting the hair makes it easier to cut and reduces the chances of hair getting caught in the clippers.
Step 4: Start Cutting
Start by cutting the hair on the sides and back of the head, moving the clippers in an upward motion. Make sure to use the guard and keep the clippers level to the head.
Step 5: Move to the Top
Once you finish cutting the sides and back, move to the top of the head. Use a comb to lift the hair and cut it using the clippers.
Step 6: Blend the Hair
Use scissors to blend the hair on the top and sides. This will give a more natural look to the haircut.
Step 7: Trim the Bangs
If your toddler girl has bangs, use scissors to trim them. Hold the hair between two fingers and cut it straight across.
Step 8: Clean Up
Use a brush to remove any hair clippings from your toddler girl's head and clothes.
Step 9: Style the Hair
Use a comb or your fingers to style your toddler girl's hair. You can add bows, clips or headbands for a cute and stylish look.
