 Newborn baby hair is not necessarily all one length. There could be a very long tuff of hair on top with short hair on the sides! That is what I'll be replicating during this tutorial. Click to view larger! |

Before and After
 Before and After! |  From start to finish. I cut a rough shape first, then start blending in any stray hairs until the length is consistent relative to the section's desired length. Taking a little off here and there until it's the shape I want. |
|---|
Getting Started...
To begin, I start taking some length off. I can go in and blend everything in better later.
For now, I want to get a rough shape. Comb the hair straight out, away from the head and cut!
See the layers once the hair lays flat?
Keep trimming the sides till the length is consistent. I avoid the hairline at this point.
Now, lets take some length off the back!
Comb a section into your fingers.
...and trim it!
Still needs to be blended in, but the length is gone!
Keep Shaping...
At the top section, there is a lot of length to work with - I want to keep most of it.
I've combed back the section of hair I want to keep long.
Now, I'm trimming top hair that will blend in with the hairline later.
I start trimming the hairline next.
I'm cautious with the hairline. This is also a good time to root any sparse hairline areas.
Trimming down the crown. I want some length here, but not as much as the top.
Finishing Touch
Here is the haircut - all finished. Just brushed out so you can see the final lengths.
Cutting finished! Now, It needs to be conditioned and styled. Click to go to my Hair Styling Tutorial!
To "train" the hair to lay in the right direction, I like to use a stocking. Let the wet hair air dry inside the cap!
All done and dry!
