Buy a hair clipper by July

---

I'm a mother of three. I have two sons, ages 13 and 14, and a daughter, who's 11. Normally, my sons would go to the barbershop with their father and get a regular haircut, while my daughter and I would only go to the salon for a trim.

One evening, while browsing online with my phone in hand, I saw a haircut kit being sold on a shopping website. The price seemed high, but I could afford to buy this kit with two years of hair care expenses for my children, so I could use it for more than two years.

I ordered it immediately, and it arrived within three days. School was starting in a week, and my children were going to school. I called them into the kitchen and told them it was time for a haircut, and since the barbers were charging so much, I would do it myself.

They were surprised. I said to my youngest son, "You're the first." I sat him on the kitchen chair. I put the number 1 guard on the machine and turned it on. I passed it from the front to the back of his head, over his entire head. When I was done, I lifted him up from the chair and examined it. Even though it was my first attempt, I had done a pretty good job. My son was uneasy because his hair had been cut to number 1.

But I told my son it would be better if he had a haircut. I had my 14-year-old sit in the chair and I gave him the same haircut. It was easier to cut his hair because I was starting to learn how to do it, so I lifted him up. Finally, I told my daughter to sit down. She started crying, saying, "Please don't make me bald." I quieted her and told her to sit down. Her hair was down to her waist, so I tied it in a ponytail and cut it with scissors. It was a bob. Then I turned on the hair clipper and started cutting from the nape of her neck. When I was done, I picked her up and said, "That's enough haircuts for now. You can go to your rooms."

That evening, when my husband arrived, he saw the children. I hadn't told him I was going to cut them. He was surprised, too. He normally likes long hair, but he didn't get angry at all. On the contrary, he said, "Kids look cleaner and neater this way."

He asked, "When are you going to cut my hair?"

"I wasn't expecting such a question," I replied immediately, and I grabbed the haircutting kit from the bathroom and came back.

My husband was sitting on the chair waiting for me. I said I don't know how to cut it yet.
She said, "No problem, just peace of mind, that's enough." So I cut my sons' hair, just like I do.

Two years have passed since then. I've always done haircuts at home. Every month, when the beginning of the month comes, it's haircut day at home. Boys shave their heads. I usually cut my daughter's hair in a bob, but when we go on vacation, I cut hers in a style like "No".

My sons come to me and ask me to cut them in different styles. I've tried, but it's very difficult to cut them that way.

I'm addressing all mothers here. Don't let your children (especially your boys) grow their hair long. Once you cut it yourself, neither you nor your children will want to grow their hair again.

Don't think, "I can't cut it myself," it's very easy.

Step 1: Get a haircutting kit.
Step 2: Move to a room where you don't mind the hair falling to the floor. I use my kitchen.
Step 3: Cover your child with a cape or something like a sheet. Step 4: Attach the #1 attachment to the machine and start cutting from the front of the head to the back, then move it from the bottom up until all the hair is equal length.
At the end of this process, your child's hair will be 1/8 length.
Step 4: This would be enough, but my favorite thing to do is to finally run the hair clipper without the attachment and run it over their entire head.
Either way, your child will look beautiful.

If your child wants very short hair, you can also use the number 2 nozzle. I wouldn't recommend using a nozzle higher than number 2; there's no benefit to having long hair.

Trust me, I may be new to this, but having hair doesn't benefit children; it wastes unnecessary time.

I'd be very grateful if you could share your experiences with me.
