  • It's totally the same with my 6 year old. 

    For years he's had long hair or partially cut hair. Even up to a few weeks ago he had his hair reasonably long.

    My only advice is what kinda worked for us. My sister cut it, she's no hairdresser but can hold her own with a pair of scissors. The only reason I can think it worked was the fact we picked the right time when he was relaxed and the relationship with his auntie that got him through it. I know next time we try it may not be as straight forward.

    good luck.
