Keeping hair out of my 1yr old boys face!

You could always try headbands. I’m sure you could buy just plain black ones that go around his whole head without anything girly on it. You’d have to work on showing him how to put it on or he might not mess with it at all.

Could you use a small/clear elastic? I’ve seen where some people put peppermint oil on the elastic with a qtip to dissolve it and then you don’t have to yank it out/pull out hair with it.

You don’t want to cut it?

You can always grab a pair of scisors and trim it while he is asleep

For mine, I'd get it wet and sweep it back then it would dry out of his face 😅

We've cut our wee ones fringe but that's all. We want to grow it longer first before his first proper haircut.

A scrunchy? Hair clip? You could try giving him the choice of which one he wants so maybe he will feel involved and keep it in longer? 🤷🏽‍♀️

My daughter had the same problem and we tried hairbands and clips and got told off by the nursery because she was putting them in her mouth. We now use mousse and it works a treat, just enough to give it enough hold to stay to one side

Mouse, Gel, hairspray?

You can use a small amount of conditioner a bit like hair gel when the hair is still damp. You put it in the hair and then use a comb to slick it back. When it dries it will be less likely to fall in his face.

is it?

Miss Rachel on YouTube or YouTube Kids is great - especially if he doesn’t sit still for haircuts (or trimming his bangs). Works for our son (he doesn’t hold still)

I would trim it just enough to be out of the eyes but still long enough to cover the forehead

Thank you all for the tips!! Will definitely be trying them all to see what works best for us!! We definitely do not want to cut it unless absolutely necessary, it was a very big control issue for me when I was a kid and I do not want him feeling the way I did 🤗

Cut it, clip it, for it back or use a headband / bandana.

I know you don’t want to cut it but you can have it cut by a professional in a way that will lay away from his face instead of hanging down over his forehead. That plus stying it while it’s wet away from his face.

I tied my boys hair up for 2yrs lol.

I agree w the man bun! I regret not doing that

Cut it out of his eyes… he looks like he’s getting eye infections and/or pink eye from having it dangle in his face. It’s not worth obstructing his vision just because you’re dying to hold onto his baby hair. Help him see. He looks miserable… like my labradoodle when I have neglected his grooming. He can’t do for himself and doesn’t know how to tell you that it’s uncomfortable

My son was buzzed at that age 😂 My daughter just wears high ponytails and that works!

Braid the front to the side use a clear rubber band

Give him a haircut :)

Pony-o hair things (that's the brand) it's like a bendable silicone hair tie
