When Should We Cut Baby’s Hair?

With regard to cutting things to the baby, the most usual question is the one that refers to the nails, probably because of that they grow very fast and because the children become real facial misfortunes with them. On the hair, the parents usually ask little, either because they are not going to cut it, or because they cut it without too much doubt.

Actually, it does not have much mystery, it's just hair that can be cut when you want. However, there are people who do it to make it stronger or people who simply never cut it. In case you are wondering when to give the first haircut to your baby today, we are going to talk about when, how and why to cut the baby's hair with the best hair tools(or why not).

So when?

Well, what is said: when parents want, because it is a matter of aesthetics. Some parents who cut it soon do so to match it, as babies sometimes have areas with longer hair than others. What happens is that around two or three months much of the hair fall and then they are like a grandpa, bald on top and with hair in the occipital area (above the nape of the neck) and above the ears. Then everything is different and the only way to equalize that is to cut what is left.

Towards 5-6 months the hair begins to come out to the baby already definitive. Then it is when he stops being so bald and begins to stop looking like a tiny grandpa, and a moment in which to assess if it is worth to match what he already had with what he has again.

How to cut the baby's hair?

The blade, as I say, should be avoided. It does not make the hair come out stronger and the risk of hurting it is more than evident. Removing the blade we have the scissors and the hair trimmer machine. In case of using scissors, they should be round tip to avoid that we hurt with a tip.

The other option, which surely will be a little better if we are not very skilled with the scissors is the machine to cut the hair but in this case, we should choose a hair clipper without noise. For example, Xiaomi hair razor may be a good choice if you want a tool to cut your baby’s hair.  It is recommended not to press, go very slowly so as not to hurt the friction of the machine and assess whether the child is well.

Why (or not) cut her hair?

Well, by way of summary, because I've already said it. It is cut off because the parents want him to have shorter hair or to match it, that is, for aesthetics. Why not cut it? Well for the same reason, because you think you like more how long hair is left or because as you do not consider it an important issue, just do not do it.

Those who put the reason to strengthen the hair: "I cut it to make it stronger" make a mistake because the hair will not come out stronger no matter what you do. Neither cutting it nor shaving it.
