Me too Rini - I love trimming their ears - when I finish I can say it looks wonderful and they didn't hate it...

Sarah515...What I do is shave down the top 1/3 of the ear - inside AND outside - It's really easy to do - I use a Wahl trimmer - you can get one at Sally Beauty Supply for about 10 $ - just hold the ear FLAT against your thumb - or whatever is comfortable and shave UPWARDS - in the direction the hair grows -

you want to just shave against the FLAT part of the ear...It sounds harder than it is - the idea is to keep them from wiggling and it can help if you wrap your baby in a towel to keep the squirming to a minimum and shave FAST...it gets easier after you do it a few times -

Do NOT shave edges - the teeth in the trimmer will gouge the ear edge.....I just go with the flat of the ear right off the edge in a sweep -
These are the trimmers I found work best for me - & a pic of Chanel & Cheri each with trimmed ears - they grow fast so practice and any mistakes you make will not be there very long - and GOOD Luck !


just don't shave against the ear edge if you try this !!

Can I add ....those are some outstanding wings on your little guy ?
