2.5 year old DS WILL NOT have hair cut

[CanINapNow]

My 2.5 year old DS will not have his hair cut! I’ve tried two different places (second one was recommended by nursery), doing it myself, doing it when he’s asleep (I managed to cut it then but it looked AWFUL!). I had YouTube ready, chocolate, dummy to hand. No good. He just goes bananas, full meltdown and won’t stay still. I tried holding him in the chair and my dad did too, no good. His hair is so long now, in his eyes, nearly a bob and very thick. Anyone else had this? Any suggestions?

Do I embrace the man bun (baby boy bun?)?

thanks all for the recent updates/suggestions. We ended up doing a terrible DIY job on his fringe but that’s growing out again now so definitely going to take him to watch Daddy get his hair cut soon and go from there.DS has had huge developments recently and I think his understanding is much better now so maybe that will help? We’ll see. If not, then footballer headband it is!

Same here! Just tie it back. My DS had a friend who refused point blank to get a haircut. Once he got to Reception class he asked for one pretty much straight away.
