How to Cut Boys Hair at Home

A boy’s mullet cut with a skin fade can keep his hair cool while meeting school dress code regulations. To add some flair, you could even shave off his sides to add designs in his locks.

Clippers

Haircuts can be an expensive expense for parents of young boys. But with the proper tools and hair-cutting techniques, parents can save considerable money by learning how to cut their little boy’s hair themselves at home. Trimming your son’s own hair can not only save money and effort but can be an extremely rewarding bonding experience between yourself and him. Not only that but doing it yourself gives him an attractive and trendy look that reflects their individuality and showcases your own.

Start by choosing a hair clipper suitable for both the size of your child’s head and desired style of haircut. When starting out, use a high haircut grade (like 17mm) which allows plenty of room for subsequent smaller grades later. This will prevent unwanted lines while building confidence with using clippers.

Scissors

Home haircutting for boys can be quick and economical. All it requires are the appropriate tools. Scissors are commonly used, while professionals often utilize shears or another tool such as clippers when trimming longer pieces.

Select scissors with appropriate thumb and finger holes so as to minimize strain when cutting. Also take into consideration the blade material, as this can affect how smooth or sharp its edge will be. For optimal results, select scissors specifically made for cutting hair. You can find such pairs at most beauty supply stores or online. Typically made of metal or plastic with stainless steel blades, their flexible handles make for easier maneuverability when cutting thicker locks than with standard scissors while remaining sharp and long-term durable cutting capabilities make these great choice scissors.

Shears

When cutting boys hair, it’s essential to use surgical steel shears. Shears offer sharp edges which easily glide through thick locks without damaging it; moreover, there’s an assortment of sizes so that you can select one to meet the length needs of your boy’s tresses.

Shears can help create a fade haircut on your boy, helping to blur the difference between his shorter side-locks and longer top-locks. Comb your boy’s hair down before positioning clippers near his natural neckline where you would like the fade to occur.

Many boys enjoy adding an eye-catching design to their haircut, such as a shaved pattern. This striking style allows your son to show his individuality and stand out from the crowd. To give this style to your boy, begin by combing his hair down into sections small enough for two fingers to separate easily and then parting them according to the design you prefer.

Combs

Combs are essential tools for untangling hair and maintaining its length during a haircut, and Leaf has developed biodegradable ones made of PLA and wheat straw as an eco-friendly alternative to plastic ones.

Begin by selecting a guide cut for your boys hair; this will determine how short to leave his rest of his locks. Comb the front most section backward, hold it between your index and middle fingers on your nondominant hand and slice across with your comb as a guide – then repeat this process for all remaining sections! It’s that simple!
