Gone are the days when only girls cared about the desire to look impeccable. Modern boys pay no less attention to this issue. From a young age, future men worry about their appearance, paying special attention to fashionable hairstyles. Caring parents today know that a haircut should not only be neat and beautiful, it should highlight the child’s individuality, allowing him to feel more confident and comfortable among his peers.
The most popular haircuts for boys
Modern boys' haircuts differ from what it was just 20 years ago, first of all, in their huge variety. Among them are both brutal classic ones and bright ones with unusual asymmetry and coloring with all the colors of the rainbow.
Hedgehog
The name of the haircut speaks for itself: it is a little reminiscent of the well-known prickly animal. One of the most popular and affordable for kindergarteners and schoolchildren, hair length 1.5-2 cm requires minimal care, bangs do not get into the eyes, and a little styling will allow your “hedgehog” to become the cutest.
Halfbox
It belongs to a number of sports models, differs from traditional boxing by the longer hair on the temples and crown. It is suitable for most boys and makes their look more modern and stylish. Among the disadvantages are great popularity and many peers with the same hairstyle.
cap
A classic haircut, when elongated strands on the top of the head are combined with shortened temples and the back of the head, does not require careful styling and care. With such a hairstyle, even a slightly disheveled baby will always look cute and natural.
Canadian
It looks voluminous in the front and short in the back, distinguished by very short shaved or cropped temples. Thanks to the highly elongated strands on the top of the head, it looks stylish and elegant, but it does not suit everyone, although the shape of the hairstyle can be adjusted by the length of the temples and bangs.
Mohawk for a boy
It has been one of the most original hairstyles for many years, borrowed from the Indians, but now considered quite everyday. To create a hairstyle, the temples are cut short, and sometimes a very decent length is left on the top and back of the head, although a shorter top looks no less stylish. This option is more convenient for younger boys. Teenagers often dye their hair different colors.
Bean
Refers to universal models of medium length with voluminous hair and short temples. Suitable for any face shape and hair type, any clothing style and age of the boy.
“Under the potty”
A very simple straight haircut looks like straight bangs and hair of the same length around the entire circumference of the head. The hair was cut as if a pot was placed on the head, and all the hair sticking out from under it was cut off. The modern “pot” is performed without the participation of the vessel of the same name, can be presented in several versions, and is often chosen by parents for their sons.
The disadvantage of the model is the constant need for correction - when the hair grows, the hairstyle loses its former neatness.
Caesar
According to legend, the first wearer of this hairstyle was Julius Caesar. Its features are a shortened nape, a slightly elongated crown and short straight bangs on the forehead. Caesar is one of the best options for schoolchildren. It is believed that if you cut a first-grader's hair this way, he will study much better and grasp knowledge on the fly.
Gavroche
The haircut got its name in honor of the independent, fearless and always slightly disheveled hero of the novel by Victor Hugo, so its owner still looks perky and at ease today. Classic Gavroche is distinguished by short hair on the temporo-parietal region of the head, slightly longer on the crown and long strands on the back of the head, falling almost to the shoulders.
The modern model has many options, but the emphasis is still on a short crown and an elongated nape.
Area
A variant of a sports haircut, when a platform with clear lines and a horizontal, even cut is cut on the parietal area of the head. Therefore, the hairstyle has the second name Platform. The classic Platform is associated with maximally shortened temples and the back of the head, from which a geometrically adjusted vertical of the parietal hair extends upward. A haircut requires impeccable execution and signals the neatness of the future man.
Undercut
A haircut characterized by fairly long hair at the top and shortened hair at the back of the head and temples.

A boy with such a hairstyle looks stylish in any clothes. However, it is better to combine Undercut with practical jeans and sneakers. When choosing an Undercut for your child, remember that you will have to visit the hairdresser more often than usual due to the long hair on the top of the head. As they grow, they will get in the way and make your hair look too careless.
“Dima Bilan”
The star's most memorable haircut, which became popular 10 years ago, remains relevant today - long hair in the back, and short hair on top and in the front. It will decorate any young fashionista and demonstrate his good taste and creativity.
Grunge
This is not a haircut, but a style. It is associated with slight negligence and creative clutter on the head. Disheveled hair and lack of parting are the main highlight of Grunge. Torn strands, uneven long bangs, shaved temples - all this demonstrates the independence that teenagers strive for.
Kare
The owner of such a hairstyle will always attract attention; it is suitable for any face shape, straight and curly hair. Usually the hair length does not fall below the chin. Many modifications of the classic hairstyle will allow you to endlessly experiment and choose your own unique look. For younger children, a smooth bob is suitable, for teenagers - more complex options, for example, a graduated bob.
Cascade
Another hairstyle for young rebels. Everything here emphasizes independence: different lengths of strands, with the top ones being longer than the bottom ones, uneven edges and torn bangs. The haircut can be done on hair of any length and has many variations.
Half
An interesting option for a stylish teenager, when a short haircut is made on one half of the head, and on the other, the hair covers the ears and the back of the head.
Another option for Half is in the samurai style with a long bun on the top and shaved temples.
Shaggy
Translated from English - shaggy, frizzy. This is exactly how the haircut turns out - careless, multi-level, flowing and very stylish. The hairstyle is suitable for any hair type and any face shape, and is appropriate for any style of clothing.
How to choose a beautiful hairstyle for a boy?
Due to the fact that beautiful hairstyles for boys are presented in a huge variety of styles and varieties, it is difficult to immediately choose a haircut for your child.
Do you follow fashion trends?
Not really
A child's hairstyle should have several characteristics:
- be practical and convenient;
- slightly different from adult haircut models;
- a haircut should not require daily styling and the use of cosmetics.
In addition, parents should not impose their preferences if the child already has his own opinion and desires. Haircuts should be appropriate to the age and degree of independence of the child so that he can take care of it. In addition, you need to pay attention to the structure of the hair, its length and shade.
