Full Afro Fade
A full afro fade is an awesome retro style that will elevate his natural texture and volume while showcasing his beautiful black hair. The faded hairstyle highlights the long curls while the line up emphasizes the contrast, celebrating individuality and self-expression.
Short Mohawk with Burst Fade
For the bold and adventurous, the short mohawk is a statement hairstyle that grabs attention, especially with a fresh burst fade on the sides and back. Featuring longer hair in the middle, it’s an edgy option that radiates confidence. โThe burst fade mohawk has become common for boys who want their hair to reflect their personalities with unique flair,โ says Mike Shaw, master barber.
Textured French Crop
The textured French crop offers a fresh perspective on a timeless style. It features short hair to complement a flowing, longer top. This easy hairstyle can be the ideal look for little boys seeking a stylish, low-maintenance approach. From casual to formal occasions, the cropped cut will turn heads.
Textured Side Swept Fringe with Short Sides
The soft side-swept crew cut is a classy haircut that incorporates a fringe and cropped sides for contrast and dimension. The versatile cut can accommodate several styles, allowing you to tousle, comb over, spike up or slick back your little boy’s hair.
Shaggy Mop Top
The shaggy mop top offers a carefree and playfully cool boy’s hairstyle defined by texture and flowing layers. The look embodies some fun, laid-back charm while boasting unique personality. Rooted in surfer culture, California kids will love this chic, free-spirited vibe. โMen are growing out their hair and little boys are following suit with stylish longer styles,โ explains Chris Wright, barber and freelance hair expert.
Short Textured Spikes
We recommend injecting a hint of attitude and edge with short textured spikes. This haircut has been tailored for little trendsetters wanting a dynamic appearance that can be easily styled and pulled off. The low taper fade accentuates the shorter length and makes the sides and back low-maintenance.
Modern Side Part with Low Fade
The modern side part with a low fade on the sides and back can be an excellent haircut for boys who want a refined look with attitude. The low skin fade brings a sleek, fresh touch while the hard part adds precise lines and sharp angles that capture the eye. As an awesome style, kids will love how they look and feel in the mirror.
Long Kinky Curls
These adorable long kinky curls will preserve your little one’s youth, charm and innocence. We recommend asking your barber to cut some light layers while maintaining the grown-out length. Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to minimize frizz. Apply a curl-enhancing cream to amplify his curls while shaping and controlling the final look. Natural and cute, your guy may need regular cuts but you may even be able to maintain the look at home.
Buzz Cut Fade
The buzz cut fade is a trendy, simple haircut that will result in a clean, polished look with minimal effort. The fade creates contrast and keeps the attention on the thick, short cut on top while the shape up cleans the hairline. The style is ideal for athletic kids who want to avoid any styling.
