When Kids Cut Their Own Hair

Teddy Did It

Many parents have faced the nightmare of discovering that their child took the scissors and cut their own hair. Although this is never a pleasant situation to come across, as small children rarely make good hairdressers, it does not have to be a big deal.

There are numerous ways to save your child’s hair from their scissor experimentation.
 
A lot of parents question why kids cut their own hair. The better question is how to prevent it from happening. Typically, especially the smaller the child is when something like this happens, the less reason they have for doing it in the first place.
 
Always make certain that scissors are out of your kid’s reach. Bear in mind as well, that children learn everything by mimicking what they see.

If you child has been to a hair salon before for themselves or have watched you receive a haircut, it may be something that they wish to try.

 

 Teddy Did It! BethanyWhen Kids Cut Their Own Hair
It is usually easier to deal with when kids cut their own hair when it is a little boy. If the damage they have done can not be repaired through a haircut or trim, you can always opt to shave your little boy’s hair and start fresh. Better hide the finger paint too.
 
Of course, you can do this with your daughter as well, although many people would rather not choose that option for girls.
 
If your little girl does get her hands on some scissors and attempts to play beauty parlor, as our little friend Bethany in this photo has, it can be a devastating experience for some parents. Often times, parents choose to attempt to grow their daughter’s hair, so if she cuts her locks by herself, you are aware it will take a long time to grow back.
 
Some parents decide whether their kids are boys or girls, to just leave the look as is and let it grow back. However, that can take a very long time and you may not wish to look at a choppy haircut while you wait.
 
Although it may be tough to face, if your child has a home scissor haircut, you are probably best off to cut it as short as you can.
 
For little girls, if they just cut some hunks of hair off the back, you can trim the length to match up.

If they have done something more drastic such as cutting a bald spot all the way down in the front, your choices will be harder.
 
If the length is fine and un-touched, you will simply need to focus on the front. You can visit a salon and ask the stylist what sort of fix that she would suggest as the best option.

If your daughter has long bangs, you can always opt to comb them over and use pretty clips to pin her hair to the opposite side and cover-up her hairless patch.
 
Whatever option you go with, always keep in mind that hair does grow and your child will soon be back to looking the way they were.

Also rest easy in the knowledge that almost every child does this at one time or another and no matter how bad the home haircut may be, there is a way to fix it up until it grows back.

I can relive the day I entered our four year old daughter's room to find her beautiful waist length hair in a pile beside her and with the only witness to the crime, her dear teddy bear, who was propped against her leg almost completely covered with hair.

It was one of those moments when your heart takes a picture and does not know whether to laugh or to cry. Even at four, she must have been able to read my face, and slowly raising her eyes up to me and softly whispered, "look what teddy did"

I will never forget the look on her face as I slowly raised my eyes from the pile of long hair to meet her eyes now filled with tears, "I know honey, I saw him."

To this day, I and my daughter's teddy, are two of her closest friends.
