Cut Hair

I'm a little confused to be honest. If you're refering to giving her hair cuts though & she doesn't like it when you cut her hair then do it while she's asleep. Or, tell her if she's a good girl for Mommy, she can have a treat afterwards. Follow through with it. :) Good luck!

To have her hair cut? Lolipop, dvd, or simply don't cut it. In a few months she will be over her fear - it sin't worth it to pressure her. It's her body.

Are you saying she cries when you cut her hair? If that's the situation, I say, why do you have to cut it? If for some reason you think it's necessary, then have someone help you by entertaining her or take her to a salon that deals with children's hair. If you cut it, make it a simple hair cut, do it quickly and in maybe more than one sitting. It's OK to cry when one is unhappy. Let her cry.

I worked in a child care center and one of our assistants also cut hair, she would do it at the center and the child was allowed to watch a video as it was happening. I don't think any center would allow this anymore, but you might also bring a favorite toy with you to keep her pre-occupied.
My SIL brings my nephews small DVD player and he watches is Einstein DVDs at the hairdressers.

Do you have a Cookie Cutters in your area? That's an awesome place to take kids to get their hair cut.

Let it grow and tie it up in a ponytail.
It worked quite well at my house.
My son hated having his hair cut, so I sent him to the barber with my husband. It was "Guy's Day". He got his hair cut with Dad, with the promise of lunch and a lollypop afterwards. He loved it.
YMMV

I take my DD to a place that just does kids haircuts. They have seats made from old riding toys so she gets to pick which one to sit in. There's a TV at each station playing movies and she gets to pick out a prize and lollipop at the end. We make a big deal about how pretty she will be and praise her for cooperating.

DD got her first hair cut at 25 months by a neighbor who is a hair stylist and she freaked out the whole time. I waited several months before trying again and went to the kid's place instead. She did great and she's been fine ever since. She is now just over 3. And she needs haircuts, she has very fine fair that tangles easily and we need to keep it trimmed so it's not out of control - otherwise it looks all straggly and all over the place.

Maybe you could also let her see you get your hair cut and then she'll see that it's no big deal. Or see if holding her in your lap helps. Give her a prize at the end for being a "big girl".

Hi. Sorry for my late post. You can try putting on Dora or whatever show she likes to watch. That's how I get my two year old to sit still while I trim her hair. Good luck!

Don't bother with cutting her hair now. She's a girl, let her hair grow. Use a barette to clip back the bangs when they get too long.

Find a place where they do kids cuts. Lots of times they will have a video at the stations for the little ones. Give her something to hold, curlers, or something from the haridressers basket, not the scissors though.

Places like "Snip Its" are very pricey (considering the clients), but worth it! My son used to scream when I would take him to get a trim until he was in a place where they showed cartoons, let him "ride" in the chair and gave him candy and bubbles. Now he asks to get his hair cut!

Put her hair in a pony tail. Or just cut it once every 3 months or more. Kids cry about all sorts of stuff - it still has to be done. You don't not have them have shots b/c they cry - you know it has to be done. So, decide 'important is it', but resolved and follow through. Don't call it 'cut' - that means blood letting - call it a trim. And let her watch a movie.

My daughter did the same thing when she was 2 1/2 she wouldnt let anyone touch her hair. It did not matter where we took her or what bribes we offered she didn't want anyone near her hair it was hers and that was that. It took about 8 months to get past her fear. I think mostly what helped was that it was her choice to go in. She looked around at the other things the salon offered at least 3 or 4 times before wanting the cut. The kids salons can be a blessing but I would definately get a recommendation before going to any of them.... We have had several bad cuts, and 2 or 3 good ones. Unfortunately the good stylist usually move on. The benifit of the kids salon is that they will fix their mistakes, it but you can only fix so much when its already short.
During that 8 months we did alot of tiny gator clips to keep the front of her hair out of her face. I would pull her bangs back into small pony's and twist them up into what she called snails or bunny tails...it's kinda like a pin curl but tighter. It will get better!

Don't cut it. Wait until she is a bit older. Is it that important? I would
always choose my battles.

give her a sucker while she's getting her hair cut.
