I use blunt tipped scissors to cut the hair on the edges & use my thumb as a guide.

As for pattern, there's really none...I just trim the top tip of the ear flap 1/3.
Trimming 1/3 or 1/4 is personal preference. If you're concerned about his hair weighing down his ear, then trim more off. For those that have folded ears, trimming the whole ear will help. |
Thank you so much. I'm not sure I will use scissors to trim the edge of his ears till I can get him to sit more still. I did finally get him to lay his head down on the towel so I can do his topknot. I have shaved his ears, but not without some work.
