Ideas for ds1 who HATES having his hair cut....

[mumbojumbo]

Anyone got any good ideas for me - ds1 (nearly 4) absolutely HATES having his hair cut. Last time dh and I took him to the hairdresser, they had got half way through when ds decided that he was leaving.....nothing we could do would keep him there. Anyway, I managed to tidy it up at home over a number of days snipping here and there. Trouble is, he really needs a hair cut and I'm at a loss. Do I buy some clippers and try and do it at home? I don't want to mess it up and don't really know where to start.

How do you manage haircuts in your house?

watch tweenies today - they're doing haircuts.

dss hated having his hair cut so we didnt bother. He asked for it to be once once hed got called a girl once too often

In Londinium, there is a kids shop that does hair cuts in front of a very large fish tank to hold their attention

I cut DS hair at home

buy some thininng scissors and reg ones and away you go

I do our ds at home some clippers a dvd or favourite kids channel to keep there attention sit them on a small chair. They love baths so I say when they've had their hair cut they can play in the bath.

i have some hair clippers they are great 2 mins job done. in the summer i did his hair in the garden,i always have to do his pals (soft toys) first, i just try to make it fun. also i dont say anything until its time to do it, because

if i do he starts saying he dosnt want it doing
good luck
