Every time I give my baby a haircut, it's done by pressing his head hard. Isn't it just a haircut? It doesn't hurt or itch, why does the little one cry so much every time? Is there any way to deal with it?
Tell the baby that 'once they have their hair cut, they will look beautiful'
Baby loves listening to your encouragement and praise the most. After each haircut, you can say some compliments, such as: My baby is too handsome or my little princess is too beautiful. Over time, the baby will gradually develop a liking for haircuts and may even request to have them done!
Explain reasoning to the baby and guide him
A few days before preparing to give your baby a haircut, you should guide him in advance and reason with him. Make him understand that after getting a haircut, he can become more beautiful, and other children will also enjoy playing with him more. After realizing this, he gradually accepted the idea of getting a haircut.
Beautify the haircut
When cutting a baby's hair, the sound of the electric pusher can indeed make the baby feel insecure, which is why they cry and refuse to cut their hair. At this point, you may as well beautify the haircut by telling the baby that a train is driving on his head. Try to explain to him some easily understandable or common knowledge in daily life, so that he can connect hairdressing with his daily life.
Shift attention
The baby cries as soon as they get a haircut, mainly because of fear. At this point, you may as well shift his attention and let him play with some toys he likes, or give him some more novel toys. This way, his attention will be immediately attracted and he will forget about the fear of getting a haircut.
