30 Instagram Captions For When Your Kid Gets A Haircut

If you don’t post a photo of your kid’s new haircut, did they even get one? No, no they did not. But since cutting your kid’s locks can be difficult at worst and emotional at best, you might not have the bandwidth to conceive a caption that’s more clever than “X got a haircut.” (Boring!)

The best haircut captions serve two purposes: 1. They point out to followers who don’t tame your kid’s hair on the daily that, hello, they are missing an inch-plus of hair! (This isn’t a missing tooth pic, people.) 2. They entertain, because what is mom-stagram about, anyway?

Alas, here are a few Instagram captions you can plug and play for common kids’ haircutting occasions to get all the likes... or at least check a post off your to-do list.
