Can’t children have their hair cut in May?

Different parents have different ways of dealing with children's hair problems. Some parents often cut their children's hair short for ease of care, but some parents don't like cutting their children's hair and will keep their children's hair long. No matter what attitude parents have towards their children's hair, they must pay attention to relevant matters when cutting their children's hair. So, can children have their hair cut in May?

Can’t children have their hair cut in May?

There is some truth in saying that children cannot have their hair cut in May. The weather is relatively hot in May of the lunar calendar, and the heat from hairdressing tools will have an impact on children's heads, making them prone to prickly heat. Children will also feel itchy on their heads and scratch them with their hands, etc.! You can get your child's hair cut, but remember to ask the hairdresser to apply some powder on his or her head afterward, or you can do it yourself at home.

To be precise, you can cut your baby's hair when he is 3 months old. It is recommended to cut his head bald for the first 3 times, because this way the baby's hair will be particularly good when he grows up.

Some things to note when giving your baby a haircut:

Time for haircut selection. It is best to do it when the baby is asleep. If this is not possible, choose to do it when the child is not very awake or tired; at this time, the baby generally will not move around and will not be very sensitive to the sound of the electric hair cutter.

Select the tool. It is best to choose an electric hair clipper specially designed for children, which is one that can store electricity and be used after being charged, and does not come with a cord. This type of hair clipper does not have a cord, so it does not get tangled around the child's neck or the child may touch or grab the cord while awake, which may lead to safety accidents during the haircutting process. When buying a hair clipper, try it out first. Don’t choose one that is too noisy and easy to clean. It is best to have a ceramic blade (which will not hurt the skin).

Prepare toys to prevent crying. If the child wakes up or cries during the haircut, someone else will need to be there to comfort the child and take out his favorite toys or other things of interest.

Time control for haircut. It is best to finish it within 3-5 minutes. If the child is kept in one position for a long time, or if the child sleeps for a long time, he may wake up. Once he wakes up or shakes when he is awake, it will cause unnecessary safety problems.

Pay attention to the area. You must pay attention to the ears when cutting hair, and don't let the blade touch the ears. Then there are the eyes. Be sure not to let the tiny hair fall into the eyes. Generally, after cutting for a while, you need to use a dry foam sponge to wipe off the stubble on your forehead.

Things to note after a haircut. Your baby's hair should be washed twice. When washing the hair, be careful not to use too much water. It is best to use a small absorbent square towel to wipe the hair with water. This can effectively prevent water from entering the ears and eyes. Use shampoo the first time and cleanse with pure water the second time.
