How to cut a bang to a child?

Careful framing the face of a child is very important for many mothers. After all, we all want to admire our child, and a child, whether it be a girl or a boy, often seeks to be like mom or dad, to adopt both their personal qualities and external characteristics. Trimming the bangs for a child on his own will not be difficult if you know the main points.

When cutting a bangs to a child, it should be noted that ophthalmologists do not advise cutting children bangs with long locks, because hair can fall on the eyes, which will negatively affect the child’s vision. If you just started to think about whether to cut the bangs of a child up to a year, then you should listen to the advice of pediatricians who believe that timely cutting of children can make it easier for parents to care for the child’s head.

If you are cutting a bang for the first time to a child, it is recommended that you first make it rare and, if necessary, add density with adjacent hair. If you are aiming to get a thick, dense bang, it is recommended to take hair from the crown of the head, and then perform thinning with special scissors.

It should also be noted that the rounded shape of the bangs is able to give the person a special good looks. So, similar models can often be seen in girls, while for boys, bangs are often cut shorter.

Hairdressers have come up with many different types of bangs, so it is not necessary to be limited to a simple direct model. So, bangs can take the following forms:

• straight;
• stepped;
• wavy;
• oblique;
• torn;
• swallow;
• oval;
• two-level;
• triangular.

Similar variations apply to both young children and older adults.

The first haircut, in order to avoid the occurrence of stressful situations, is recommended to be carried out at home, in the usual atmosphere for the child. To do this, you need to carefully prepare yourself, purchase scissors with blunt ends in order to ensure maximum safety for your baby. If you plan to cut with a machine, you should use a less noisy and safer child model.

It is recommended to buy combs with bright colors in double quantities, since during the haircut, the child may wake up interest in this thing, and he will ask you to play with it.

For spraying with scissors, prepare a spray gun. We also recommend purchasing some new exciting toys or getting forgotten, this will ensure the baby’s peace of mind during a haircut. You can make a haircut in a playful manner, first cut the doll, let it hold the machine, listen to how evenly and loudly buzzes, teach the child how to use a spray gun and a comb.

Haircut time also plays an important role, you should choose the period when the child is full, calm and does not want to sleep. It is also advisable to call an assistant who is able to divert the attention of the child.

You have prepared the tools, now you should put the baby on a chair, give him interesting gizmos that have been prepared to distract attention. For convenience, a small child (up to 2-3 years) is better to sit on the table. If you are cutting with scissors, then first you need to spray the trimmed area with water. Then we comb the hair, hold the forelock with the index and middle fingers and cut it off. Trim up the head to the top of the head, while cutting hair to the height of the fingers.

After the crown we go to the temples and the back of the head. At the end, it is recommended to walk through the hair again and eliminate bumps, trim the forelock.

If you decide to use the machine, then you need to set the hair length to about 1-1.5 cm, you do not need to wet the locks. First cut off the occipital region, slowly moving towards the crown, then the temporal part. At the end, align the forelock and scissors to make a border. After the haircut, the child can wash his hair to wash off the cut hair and avoid possible irritation of delicate skin.

Next, we consider the subtleties of a proper bangs haircut, which will help you achieve a good result.

• First, comb the bangs up and hold the hair with your fingers, then carefully cut a couple of centimeters. Thus, we create the effect of thinning.
• We moisten the hair in front and check the symmetry of the bangs you selected. We comb and, holding a lock of hair between the fingers, pulling a little, lower the fingers to an imaginary cut line, thereby giving the desired shape.
• First you can work with the left side, and then go to the right side of the bangs. So when combing, it will be easier for you to trim the hairs.

• We cut off the hair exactly, while the fingers should touch the head, this will help to avoid the effect of the "ladder". It is believed that bangs up to eyebrows are the best option, but it must be borne in mind that after drying, the hair will appear shorter than in a "stretched" wet look. Thus, we cut the bangs just below the eyebrow line.
• We check the symmetry of the bangs by reducing the extreme strands over the bridge of the nose.
• So that the hair adjacent to the bangs does not interfere with the haircut, it is necessary to stab it on the sides.
• In boys, the bangs should be wider than in girls, so the bangs will be better in harmony with a short haircut.

It will be calmer and more interesting for the baby if it is her mother who will do the haircut at home, and not an unfamiliar woman with an incomprehensible buzzing thing. With older children it is much easier, you just need to first select the desired shape of the bangs and think about its density. So, following the recommendations, you can beautifully trim your child yourself, while giving the face aesthetics and good looks.
