WFMW: Toddler Haircut

I have been cutting my son's hair his entire life, all two and a half years of it. This time I decided to change things up and instead of the bowl cut that hangs straight down I would take on the challenge of an actual hair style. So I went to beautyandthebath.com found this picture

and voila we have the perfect summer do for this handsome young man.

Here is what it looked like right before I cut it.


You can do your tots locks too. All you need is:

A pair of hair cutting shears, nothing fancy, just small scissors.
Spray bottle to wet down the hair
Highchair, the kind that can recline is preferable that way the back of the chair does not get in the way.
Video to keep them entertained. I use my laptop that way I can cut his hair anywhere in the house. I also reward him with a
lollipop.

I use my fingers as a guide when snipping and from there I just eye ball it to get the hair even and the length I want. I share this as more of an encouragement than a "how to article". I have no training whatsoever and a very squirmy, high energy toddler, so if I can do it anyone can. Although, I have friends that swear they could never cut their kids hair and so maybe it's not for everyone, but it works for me. That's why this post is a part of the Works For Me Wednesday blog carnival over at wearethatfamily.com Check it out to find more "works for me".
