Which hair clipper so that I can cut my baby's hair?

[poppytin]

Could you pls help me?

I need to buy a hair clipper to cut my baby's hair. He is 16 months old.

There are quite a few things on internet shops. But which one is good?

Thank you

are you planning on taking it all off? Can you not go to a hairdresser?

Why would you clipper a 16 month old?? Just trim his fringe or sides when he's asleep or take him to a proper hairdressers.

Hairdressers...Every time!

I believe it's a cultural thing for some people to shave babies' hair off (something about making it grow back stronger and thicker). Apologies if I've got that wrong!

OP I'd say a hairdresser is probably the best idea as they'll be skilled enough to do it quickly, as I can't imagine your toddler being terribly happy about it, if they're anything like mine - very wriggly!

Why would you go to a hairdresser if you can do it yourself?!

We did our ds's hair at the weekend, just used a regular hair clipper!

Generalising much?! horrace

It's all about technique!

Well that may be your experience but the using term 'miniature thug' is pretty offensive and unnecessarily rude.

I'm interested in this topic as I thought I need to buy a hair clipper or a similar tool.

So is it true that a hairdresser or barber will know how to do this? I cannot imagine how my baby will sit still for a 'stranger' to cut his hair.

Ask around locally to see if there is a kids hairdresser near you , we have one that has kids tv playing and themed chairs/mirrors, lots of toys etc

Another option is a mobile hairdresser that comes to you, so you can put a sheet down in front if his favourite telly :)
