When cutting a child's hair, how should you hold the child's head?

Gently but firmly
Roughly
With both hands
With one hand only

The correct answer is: Gently but firmly

Holding a child's head gently but firmly is crucial when cutting hair to ensure their safety and comfort. A gentle grip helps to provide reassurance to the child, who may be anxious or fidgety during the haircut. At the same time, a firm hold allows the barber to maintain control over the head's movement, preventing sudden jerks that could lead to accidents or uneven cuts. Using a gentle yet firm approach helps establish trust, making the child more comfortable throughout the experience. This method acknowledges a child’s need for care and tenderness while also addressing the practical requirements of the haircutting process. Balancing gentleness with firmness is key to creating a positive haircutting experience for children.
