To put a clip in a baby's hair, you'll need to open the comb part of the clip and gently press it into the baby's hair. Then, press the outer edges of the clip down so it lays flat on the baby's head.
Step-by-Step Guide to Clipping Baby Hair
Here's a more detailed breakdown, based on the provided video reference:
-
Prepare the Clip: Start by identifying the comb portion of the baby clip. This is the part that opens and allows you to slide hair inside.
-
Open the Comb: Gently open the comb mechanism of the clip.
-
Position in Hair: Carefully place the open comb part of the clip against the section of hair you wish to secure.
-
Close the Clip: Once the hair is in the comb, press down on the outer edges of the clip. This action will secure the clip and lay it flat against the baby's head.
-
Final Check: The clip should now be sitting securely in the baby's hair.
Additional Tips for Clipping Baby Hair
- Be Gentle: Always handle your baby's delicate hair with utmost care. Avoid pulling or tugging.
- Choose the Right Clip: Opt for clips specifically designed for babies, such as the Baby Wisp® Mini Wisp Clip. These are typically lighter and have a secure, gentle hold.
- Start Small: Begin with a small amount of hair in each clip to prevent discomfort or pulling.
- Comfort is Key: Make sure the clip feels comfortable for your baby. If it looks like it's pulling, remove and reposition it.
- Safety First: Regularly check the clip to ensure it remains secure and hasn't become a hazard.
Why This Method Works
The described method ensures that the clip grips a small section of hair without causing pain or pulling on the baby's sensitive scalp. The comb mechanism provides a secure hold, while pressing down the outer edges keeps the clip flat and comfortable.
