The Difficult Task of Cutting Children's Hair

Have you ever tried to cut your son's hair? What seems to be a simple task is not, at all. Just sit the child in a chair, take the comb and scissors, so that everything becomes an impossible mission. What a difficulty! Children do not stay still for a moment, and the fear you give them to hurt them makes you give up and take them to the nearest hairdresser.

When they are very small, that is, before the first year of life, there are babies who do not need to cut the hair at all. To others, you can make an arrangement, quietly. After the first year, the baby who is already beginning to walk and to be more aware of what is happening around him makes life impossible for those who want to cut his hair. To many mothers, it gives a real 'panic' to the scissors or the razor.

Some children between 1 and 3 years can still be calmer in a hairdresser, but there are others, from this age, that neither putting them in a chair with car format or distracting them with candy, magazines, and books, they stay still. The only solution is to cut their hair at home, a mission that simply has nothing. How to cut children's hair?
