So far, I've cut our ethio baby boy's hair a few times. He's not quite 1, so he does not understand about sitting still or keeping his hands away from the clippers. I use a 1/2-inch guard and just cut the entire head the same. He has tiny corkscrew curls in some places and softer curls in others, but I have had pretty good luck getting it to look even (sometimes I have to go over certain areas more than once). And I'm saving $13 each time I do it at home instead of taking the kids to Kids' Kutz. That adds up to $39/month for my 3 boys - - well worth the $30 investment for the trimmer! [:-)<br /> I'll definitely keep your haircutting tips for when my little guy gets older and can sit still while I experiment. Thanks for the tips, Mary.

I cut our other son's hair with a flowbee and have gotten where I can do a decent job. But as I was cutting his hair yesterday, I wondered how I might be able to give our youngest a decent haircut - we've been to the hair dresser twice and they have just cut it really close all over. He's still young not quite 2. Mary thank you for posting this, do you have pictures? I cut our other son’s hair with a flowbee and have gotten where I can do a decent job.
