- With the quarantine, we have been unable to get to the salon, and he doesn't sit very well there anyway, so we decided to cut his hair at home. This is my first time attempting to cut his hair and I'm excited to have you along for the ride!

Dad of a two year old about to get his first cut. From the head movements to the baby shark to the use of a watering can - this is the most accurate tutorial I’ve seen. Extremely helpful and thank you for posting.
Now THIS is a REAL "how to cut a normal toddlers hair". Awesome job. My wife and I are doing this tonight. Our boy moves a little more than yours so wish us luck.
How’d it go?
Wishing you the best of luck 🤞❤
I love the fact that this is realistic! My two year old is a very active kiddo and he hates getting his hair cut so this motivates me to try again thank you!!! 🥺😊
You should watch my more current one. It’s even more realistic in that he wasn’t strapped into a high chair.
You did a awesome job mama 🥰
This was genuinely helpfull. Thanks from Melbourne, Aus 👍
Great job momma!!! Now this shows me how more realistic it would be than a few other videos I've watched
Hahaha no not the bowl cut! 😆
I love how real this is, I will be cutting my three yr old hair soon for the first time 😅😅
this is amazing! Way to go mama! Such cute babies!🥰 I’m about to attempt our first at home haircut with mom so this was awesome to watch something so realistic!
Oh good! How did it go?
@@meganmclean1729 Better than I thought it would! 😆 got the job done with much more confidence after watching your vid
I'm sitting here looking up videos to see if I'm brave enough to cut my 21 month old's hair myself and I'm so glad I watched this! It was really helpful and you made me laugh! The toy watering can was fantastic! 😂 Thank you!
Let me know how it goes!
@@meganmclean1729 it turned out alright! I'll probably take him to a salon next time, but not bad for at home!
omg, he’s behaving the same as my son!! but after watching this video I’m motivated to try again :)
This is so helpful!
Gonna do this my son tonight! This gives me so much more confidence.
Definitely is a two people's job. Thanks for the tip!! Now I will try it myself!
Good luck!
Cute kids. Now to try see my kids face again ✂️
Hello, what length was the shaver set onto for the back and sides please? This it almost identical to my sons and I know he will struggle at a salon so I’m going to give this a go. X
Omg thank you for this video. Everything about it is my son. The hair type is why I stopped but his whole demeanor and mannerisms were the same 👏🏽❤️ I feel better about our first cut tomorrow Awesome job guys
Thanks! It’s honestly gotten even easier. The last time we did it, we did have to give him a break but that’s the benefit of at home! So much easier.
Seems just like my child, moving and dame type of hair, maybe I will try it. I love the one m&m thing, not the whole bag.
Thank you this really helped me!
Yay! I’m so glad.
What length did you have the razor guard at?
This is my son 100%. Move look wiggle. Etc. Thank you.
I'm going to attempt this tonight with my 2 1/2-year-old. He did alright with his first haircut in February, but my sister is a stylist, and she cut it while I held him. I have been cutting my husband's hair for the last decade, so I know the technique for the cutting, but it's the letting me do it and holding still that scares me. lol
I'm hoping this goes okay. If not, I'm just going to do a #5 all over the top and a #3 on the sides so that I can get it over quickly, then blend it over the next week. 😆
Yes! Sometimes he doesn’t want to sit and it takes all day to cut it.
@@meganmclean1729 Oh, I HAVE to tell you how this turned out. It was my husband's and my 8th wedding anniversary, but we couldn't get a sitter, so we postponed celebration until the weekend. We decided to cut our son's hair that night so that it would look good in the pictures when my sister-in-law took him for the weekend. I thought he was going to be terrible, and he was, but he wasn't the worst. LOL! No...that award goes to my husband.
We had him in the high chair, he was watching the Super-Pets movie, and doing really well. No crying, tantrums etc. I decided to do a 6 clipper cut on top, 3 on the sides, and blend them. Just an easy little fade. My husband handed me the clippers and I asked no less than three times if it had a number 6 guard on it, and he said yes (I have a hard time reading the lettering on the plastic guards). I think some part of me knew it wasn't long enough for a 6, and that's why I kept asking. Only, he wasn't looking at the clippers, he was going by what he thought he had done.
To get to the point: my son is now rocking a number 3 bur. It was so short that I couldn't even fade it on the sides. Luckily, he has a pretty head shape, and even more luckily, it's already growing out a bit. lol TBH, though, I cried. He had these beautiful blonde curls, and I had to cut them all off, while he was screaming like I was pouring acid on him or something. I was emotional too, and just wanted to get through it so I could pick him up and hug him.
Thought I'd update you on how our little adventure went. I learned a couple of lessons though: 1.) Get a magnifying glass and read the guard number myself and 2.) If I cut another short cut on anyone--masculine or feminine hair cut--start at the bottom/sides or wherever is going to be the shortest. 😆
Thank you for this video. I have a 6 year old autistic son and he actually throws huge kicking, screaming, running away fits when getting his hair cut. I cant take him to a salon. At all. But ive done okay cutting it myself. I think ill try cutting it your way next time.
I often also end up cutting the back and giving him a break and coming back to cut the rest, even if it’s the next day.
What length of clippers did you use in the lower back and what size up top??
I normally use 16-18mm on the back and 22-24 up the sides. And I use scissors on the top.
He looked like a big boy when he was done!
I know! 😭
Well done handsome
Thanks! I’ve only gotten better since this video!
(And he’s gotten better at being very still).
Lindo!!!

Nice job, but you should have at least put a towel around the babies neck so he is not covered in sharp hair that can embed in his clothes and even worse, in his skin. Now he is probably all itchy. You get your neck and clothes covered when you get a haircut.
I think what you meant to say was:
"Nice job! It might help in the future to put a towel or something around his neck. From my experience, the tiny hairs are very itchy."
Thanks. He took a bath.
Gave him toys ,mom.
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually had tried and he still wouldn’t sit still. He had never seen the iPad before so he was super interested and it got him to sit long enough for me to do his hair.
Your cute little boy is so smart.😍👍🏻
I'm mortified you're giving them M&Ms when it only takes one wrong move and it's lodged in their tiny throat 😱 but ty for uploading the realistic haircut and everything, wonderful 💕
I appreciate the concern. M&Ms melt and are too small to obstruct the airway. While I agree, they could possibly get lodged, it’s not a “choking hazard” such as a grape or hotdog, which is the same size as their throats.
Just a reminder that practicality everything is a “choking hazard” for children this age
@@meganmclean1729 Thank you!
@@MissKMacs That's so true! I'm sorry 😅
My grandson is close to two, and he has thick, luscious blonde hair. My DIL won't cut it. It's beautiful, but it hangs down in his eyes. Sometimes they put it up in girlish-looking braids or ponytails, and that looks ridiculous! I just wish they'd cut his hair!
They could just do a little trim and still keep the beautiful locks!
