Haircutting for Boys 101

August 11, 2015

Tee: Nordstrom | Bandana: Target | Polish: Formula X ‘Potent’

 

To Review:

1. Determine desired length and adjust guards accordingly

2. Flowbee all hair with base facing horizontal all over the head. Repeat flipping the base in a vertical position, again, all over head.

Tip: You’ll know you’re finished with the flowbee when you can no longer “hear” hair being cut.

3. Use clippers with a 1 inch guard. Start at the base of the neck and gradually angle away from the crown. Repeat all over head.

4. Go over the entire “clipped” area in a diagonal direction. Repeat on the adjacent diagonal.

Tip: You will know you’re finished with the clippers when you can no longer “hear” hair being cut.

5. Use hair sheers to trim the neck, around the ears, and bangs.

6. Blend the line around the crown with the scissors in a vertical position while cutting.

7. Style using a pomade and hairspray.

8. Reward with a treat.

    Could you be any cuter! I live for your videos — so real, totally yourself (feels like I’m talking with a long lost friend), and information that’s always life changing! THANKS!

    So happy you shared this with us! I’ve seen in several of your 12 hours you cutting your boys hair and was waiting for the day when you’d show us all how! Thank you! Thank you!

    I almost got that henley from your Nordstrom wishlist; now I have to! Awesome layering piece or so cute just plain like you’re wearing it today! Thanks for the tutorial. Pinning it for when I have littles!

    Thank you! This is a lifesaver for this momma of 4 boys!

    Woo hoo! I have 3 boys so this will save us some serious $$!

    I don’t have boys, totally didn’t need to watch this, but wanted to!! Y’all are just too darn cute❤️

    I love this!! Have you tried that hair suction cutter on lulu?! I am thinking about ordering this to cut Dukes hair!

    Aw this is so cute – and the boys are so good! Remi’s going to love having such a stylish mum to do her hair when she’s older! 🙂

    This made me miss them so much.

    This was great I only have one son but boy does his hair grow fast. And these kids hair cut places are like $20 a pop not adding in the tip. We normally get him one hair cut a month. That’s over $240 a year on hair cuts for a 3 year old. That’s crazy! Nice job mama. Your boys are so darn cute!

    What a great video! Thanks for sharing your tips! Your family is so cute and I love the small glimpses of your backyard. Such pretty colors!

    Oh my goodness, your boys are so cute, and they sit so still!!! Hair cutting is always a circus around here. I make Victor do it, but maybe I should take a stab at it. LOL. Thanks for sharing!

    You and your family are just so cute!!! I was wondering if you could maybe do a makeup tutorial on how you are wearing your makeup in this video? Love watching all your tutorials…thanks
