It's been almost three months since Xiao Yu has been with us and it was really time for a haircut. When he came to us, his hair was really short. But now, it was spilling over his years and long in the back. So off to Great Clips we went...
He obviously has had his hair buzzed in the passed, but still Elvin didn't know how he would react to this. When the lady tried putting the hair cutting apron thing on him, he said "no!" and it went downhill from there.
Xiao Yu also did not appreciate having his hair sprayed with water...
After trying to get away and Elvin having to pin him, the hair cutting lady tried bribing Xiao Yu with a lollipop.
This didn't work. He would not be subdued. Elvin had to pin his head down. This was not fun for anyone.
It was probably only 5 minutes...
But felt like 5 hours. Kudos to the lady who kept her cool and didn't poke him with the scissors despite his thrashing around like a caged animal.
In the end, we got a ok, but jagged-in-places haircut. And a t-shirt absolutely covered in hair.
And only once in the car seat, Xiao Yu was calm enough to enjoy his lollipop. He was also trying comfort himself by putting his hand on his belly.
So our plan going forward is to buy a set of clippers and try to do future haircuts at home. Maybe there are YouTube videos that will show us how to cut boys' hair?
