The first haircut can determine your child's relationship with his or her hair. Trauma is important to avoid at all cost. This means it must be fun for the child as much as for you.
Best way to get that first haircut is at home. One little snip or two, it's not about the cut its all about the about the experience.
Going to a salon for the first time.
To make it a positive experience simply takes a bit of intention from the parents or care taker.
It's best the child goes with someone he or she loves and feels comfortable with, and that this person has met the stylist before hand.Even better if the adult has had a haircut by the same stylist, and the child has witnessed some or all of it.
The child must not be tired from lack of sleep or irritable before entering the salon.
Remember to have fun yourself.
