I had to fight DH to agree. Guess it's a little early compared to some. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2571192 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 09:13:07 +0000 LulaBee 2571192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD had her first haircut a few months after 3. She was nervous but one day decided she wanted one and we went for it. We went to a place that specialized in kids cuts, and she got to sit in a fire truck seat and they have TV on. She's been back for another since, as she has a bob and it needs to be cut often... but I LOVE her hair short and it's so much easier to take care of/less whining about tangles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2571056 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 00:17:25 +0000 Corduroy 2571056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is almost 3.5 and hasn't had a cut yet. She has asked for cuts but always so her hair will be short like daddy. I'm open to haircuts but Daddy isn't ready. I started using conditioner lately which extended the amount of time I'm willing to deal with long hair. DS is 12 months and is getting close to needing one. We might do both kids at once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2571041 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 23:07:06 +0000 brownepiano 2571041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has had a ton. I used the scissors the first time but switched to a buzzer after that. I cut DH 's hair so I usually just cut his first and then DS. This last time I wasn't going do DS but when he saw DH getting it cut he asked and sat really still! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2571033 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 22:22:48 +0000 travellingbee 2571033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest is three and has had many many haircuts. We keep his hair fairly long ( he has cute curls), but it is THICK and grows fast. He has a LOT of hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2571014 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 21:31:20 +0000 Boogs 2571014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids came out needing hair cuts lol. They don't always love it, but they look so much better cleaned up and DH usually does it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2571010 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 21:24:50 +0000 yoursilverlining 2571010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She had trims and gotten bangs, but no real cut to the length. I trim up her bangs and split ends myself. She's 4 and its past her butt so I'm thinking we'll need a cut soon, but LO sits and let's me brush it out without complaint and doesn't want it cut so we'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2571009 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 21:22:06 +0000 regberadaisy 2571009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: ha! Same! DD1 was still pretty bald at 2. 😁 She's 4 and had one trim at home, just to even everything out when her hair finally started growing. She does get a bang trim every few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2571007 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 21:17:38 +0000 MamaG 2571007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 5 and has had 4 trims. Her first at nearly 3. We go about every 6 months to get about an inch cut off. She's usually in need from the ends just getting damaged from all the brushing we have to do. Her hair brushes her waist now and she's adamant about not getting more than a trim. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2571004 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 21:12:13 +0000 hellobeeboston 2571004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: my friends daughter is almost 4 and has less hair than that! It's crazy! Her hair just doesn't want to grow... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2571001 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 21:10:15 +0000 MrsB2012 2571001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My older daughter had her first haircut yesterday. It was super long, half way down her back or so. I always thought that she would have a major tantrum when we tried to cut it so I kept putting it off ( plus it's so cute, super curly and long!) We took her to my husbands appointment and she sat in his lap and she did so good! We cut it just below her shoulders, it's cute! We just talked it up for a while, and I think her watching her dad get his done first helped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570973 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 20:23:02 +0000 anonysquire 2570973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm convinced my daughter has the worlds slowest growing hair. Almost 2.5 and never had a haircut an this is all we have to show for it. </p> [attach=1857/16/o93l6e.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570966 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 20:12:51 +0000 808love 2570966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: there is a great Dora video called Haircut!

Can your LO come watch you get a haircut to help her andiety? Or watch some YouTube videos of haircuts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570937 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 18:47:27 +0000 MoonMoon 2570937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just turned 3, never has had a haircut, but we might get him one in the next few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570928 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 18:15:43 +0000 Iced Tea 2570928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 16 month old daughter has had about 5 trims. I did it myself. The first time because it just wasn't growing evenly and looked weird. Afterwards, I liked how clean it looked and loved that it wasn't in her eyes anymore. So now I trim it frequently. It's easier if I divide the work into two sessions so she doesn't run out of patience. </p> <p>Hopefully she will see hair trims as normal, not scary, events. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570770 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 13:38:00 +0000 autumnlove 2570770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of haircuts! I am not sentimental about it and their hair grows fast. They do not mind and they enjoy going to the kids salon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570769 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 13:36:52 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2570769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L had one at ten months and another after her third birthday. She was very apprehensive but got over it long enough to get a trim. She was very angry about it later and has since forbid me from doing her hair (pony tails, braids, etc.) where she used to be very willing. She only had maybe an inch and a half cut but is still bitter. I dread taking her in again. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570686 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 12:45:11 +0000 looch 2570686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he's had haircuts. I cut it at home now though, with a clipper machine thing. It's a work in progress, I used to use scissors, but I am much faster with the clipper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570683 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 12:44:26 +0000 fancyfunction 2570683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M got a trim right before turning 3. I thought she'd freak but she loved it! We went to a kid's place and they put clips and glitter in her hair and gave her some small prizes after. I figure we'll do another trim this summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570681 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 12:44:13 +0000 erinbaderin 2570681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son had his first at about a year and has had a bunch since then. If we go too long it starts to get matted and crazy at the back. </p> <p>My Goddaughter was about 3 when she got her first haircut. On her way to the salon she was really quiet and finally said "Mommy? Is it going to hurt a lot?" That story makes me want to laugh and cry - poor little thing trying to be brave! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570670 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 12:37:23 +0000 rattles 2570670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine had her first around her 3rd birthday just to even it out. She was nervous about it, so a few months ahead of time, DH started bringing her to the barber when he got his cut. She got to sit in a chair next to him with a lollipop, and after a few visits, she was excited to have him come with her instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570636 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 12:05:43 +0000 catlady 2570636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, my DD will be 3 in the fall and has never had a haircut. We are expecting #2 in the fall and if he is born with as much hair as DD was, I expect they will both end up with first haircuts on the same day. Lol. It's been nice having a girl and letting it grow out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570633 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 12:03:40 +0000 ValentineMommy 2570633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 has had so many haircuts in his life. He had 2 before he was 1. He had a dozen by 2. His hair isn't even cut short...it just gets really unkempt at a certain length. I trim it most times, and he's really good about it. He's had it cut in a salon 3 times now, for special occasions.</p> <p>DS2 is going to be 1 in a month, and he's just had some trims off the top....nothing I would call a whole haircut. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570632 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 12:01:27 +0000 whiskers 2570632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cut my girls hair myself. DD1 cooperates really well before bedtime since she is always trying to get out of going to bed. I cut her bangs every other month or so and the rest of her hair I've done about 3 times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570629 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:59:18 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2570629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He had his first haircut at 20 months. He absolutely freaks out everytime. It's so hard. Some people say to start them younger so they're not scared but he was a bald baby so I couldn't start that young! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570624 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:55:38 +0000 lawbee11 2570624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is turning 3 in August and had her second haircut yesterday. She had her first cut shortly after turning 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/haircuts#post-2570621 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:53:13 +0000 sorrycharlie 2570621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has your LO had a haircut?</p> <p>My daughter's hair is really long - she's never had it cut (almost 4). It doesn't really need to be cut, but she has wicked anxiety about it. I don't know if she thinks it'll hurt, or she doesn't want to lose any hair, or what!</p> <p>I'm thinking maybe before she starts school in the fall to just clean the ends up. I dunno. Lol. </p>
