How to grow out a baby boy's short hair cut?

My son who is 14months got a really bad hair cut because he was throwing a huge fit. So now I am just going to let it grow out. What is the best way to do this. DO I leave it only completely or have edges trimmed, or what? What is the best way to grow out his hair?How to grow out a baby boy's short hair cut?
It kind of depends on how short of a style your son now has. Just to let you know, many barbers prefer to only use clippers on young boys that show any inclination of not wanting to sit still during a haircut because it is much safer. The barber has to have scissors in one hand and a comb in the other and cannot control the child's head movement. With clippers he can hold the head steady with one hand with clippers in the other. If he received a butch haircut, the easiest way to grow it out and have it look nice while growing out is to get a slightly longer short haircut every three weeks or so, assuming his hair is growing at a fairly normal pace of 1/2'; per month. So, his haircuts will go something like: short crew cut, medium crew cut, short ivy league, ivy league, long ivy league, short regular taper cut, regular taper cut. If you want it to start to grow over the ears, you can do so at this point and switch to haircuts every six to eight weeks to even up growth. but again as I indicated earlier, if he will not sit still, a short style that can be done completely with clippers might be the safest choice. A butch cut fully suits relatively few men/boy's head shape, face and neck shape, frontal hairline or facial features, but a good barber can design one of the short pomp(pompadour) styles-crew cut, ivy league(long crew cut), flat top crew cut- to fully suit most boy's head shape, face and neck shape, frontal hairline and facial features. The only issue sometimes with very short styles for boys is that the ears tend to grow to about 90% of adult size by the time a boy is six and if a boy has ears on the larger side of average or that protrude, sometimes boys can become very self conscious of this, if teased by other children. Most will grow into their ears by the teen years. The information below may help you to better know basic boy's barber shop style haircuts.

Some barbers describe an ivy league as a crew cut just long enough to be parted and combed to the side, if so desired. An ivy league can also be worn with the hair brushed up off the forehead to form the short pomp front, or with the short bangs brushed down on the forehead like a forward brush cut.

Grooming any of the short pomp styles- crew cut, ivy league, flat top crew cut- is basically the same and takes about a minute or two.

1) Towel dry hair.

2) Barely dip fingertips in jar of wax.

3)Transfer wax to palms.

4) Smooth palms over hair.

5)Brush hair off forehead to form short pomp front.

Whichever style you decide on, be sure to take a photo to help describe the desired haircut to the barber or stylist.

Good Luck!
