We were recently asked about using clippers for boys' hair. First you would need to buy some electric clippers that you can buy at some drug stores. They should come with different sized guards which are used to achieve the desired length but are not good for controlling the length without practice. If you want quality clippers that will do a good job expect to pay a minimum of $50. Clippers can be used for doing buzz-cuts on boys or girls if you want. Although your child can still be cut using clippers, it is usually not the case. Clippers may be faster than a scissor cut, a bonus for children who have problems sitting still during a hair cut. Although some children don't like the sound of clippers, especially close to their ears. In addition, some children are tickled by the clippers and would therefore have trouble remaining still for the procedure. Your child would probably be more relaxed at home than in a barbershop or salon however we still think our DVD of How To Cut your Child's Hair at Home is better for anything other than a buzz cut. The clippers are really only good for buzz cuts.
Again we recommend our DVD, which is easy to follow and there are so many variations of haircuts anyone can do using it.
