everyone so today I wanted to show you
how I go ahead and cut Jacobs hair and
Jacob is almost 20 months old and so
I've been cutting his hair since he was
a year old since he was about 12 months
old and so I thought it would be fun to
show you guys kind of how I go ahead and
do it so I'm the very first thing I will
say is I like to go ahead and put
something on him just the hair doesn't
fall on him and the other thing is is he
is sitting across from an iPad I always
play a show or something for him to
watch something to you preoccupied and
keep them kind of looking straight it's
much much easier to cut his hair when
under them so the first few things that
I will use obviously I like to use a
pair of clippers you don't have to use
clippers I just started using clippers I
used to just use scissors it just takes
a little longer with just scissors and
so we got these handy Clippers and so
that's what I use now the other thing
that I do use is I just use a little bit
of a trimmer I like to do that to like
his little ears and the back of his neck
trim it all up that way all those
struggling hairs get I've taken care of
as well obviously you're going to need a
pair of scissors if you have thinning
shears that works really really well too
to kind of texturize the back and make
it not so like you know blunt your blend
lines and then of course a brush or a
comb so and those are what I like to use
I also have a little bottle of water
here and then since mrs. Jack likes to
play with that so I will go ahead and
start and I will just sort of walk you
through it as I go so let's get started
so the very first thing that I like to
do is I like to get Jacobs hair wet I
like to use a spray bottle for this as
opposed to actually putting his head
like under the sink or something because
I only want his hair to be down so I
just put a little bit at a time on my
hands and kind of just rub it through in
his hair until it's kind of the amount
of wetness I would like then I move on
to the Clippers and before I do anything
with the Clippers I like to let him feel
the vibration of it when it's turned on
that way he's not freaked out by the
Clippers and I do this every single time
I cut his hair even though he's probably
used to it by now so as you can see here
I am taking the Clippers and I'm just
moving kind of just slightly above his
years just along the back half of his
hair and I am using a quarter-inch
attachment for this portion so I just
worked up until I have that all blended
and then I go ahead and I switch my
attachment to a half inch attachment and
start doing the rest and this part I go
around his ears and up to the crown of
his head
one big tip that I would have for you
guys is just to make sure that you
follow the grain of his hair just like
you would with woodworking you want to
make sure that you go that the way that
his hair is growing and the reason that
is is because hair doesn't grow just
straight up as you can see here I'm
working sideways and diagonally and all
the different angles because that way
it'll just blend and be so much more
soft and so much more smooth don't be
afraid to go over it a hundred times
because the Clipper is only going to
allow you to cut what's kind of missing
so take your time and just go over it
until you are satisfied with the way it
looks like I said I only go up to the
crown of his head here and then I stop I
like to have the top of his head a
little bit longer so at this point I
switch I turn that off and I start using
my scissors and my comb now what I'm
trying to do here is blend the top half
to the stuff that I just cut with the
Clippers this can be a little bit
challenging but basically all I do is I
hold my hand at an angle pull my comb
towards the hair and I just make sure
that everything looks kind of even
that's the best way that I can describe
it and then I just go ahead along the
top and I just cut anything that looks a
little bit too long so I like to cut my
bangs backwards first and then I cut
them along the front of his head and
that way it's just way more even and it
just gives it a bit of texture and it's
not super super flat
[Music]
so here you can see I'm combing in his
hair down and I'm just working it to the
front that way I can cut it nice and
straight so I go ahead and just cut
along a nice straight line and just
brush it out make sure that it looks
good and then I just kind of tidy up any
pieces that look to be a little bit long
once I have it styled the way that I
would normally have it styled then I use
my little trimmers I let him feel it
again and then I just go around his ears
[Music]
picking up any other little pieces that
have kind of been too long or that I
wasn't able to get with the Clippers or
my scissors and then just along the back
of his neck and that's pretty much it
that is his haircut I like to have it
shorter in the back and longer in the
front it doesn't take long at all and it
is super super super cute anyway guys
that's it that's the final product I
like to move really really fast because
that way they don't get impatient and
but anyway guys I hope you enjoyed this
