Haircuts for boys are included in a school’s curriculum to instill discipline and adherence to a dress code. It teaches them to conform to rules, look presentable, and take responsibility for their hair by going to a traditional barbershop.
However, a formal dress code does not mean your boy has to look dull and drab with their hairdo. The right cut can make them look stylish without compromising on obedience to school rules.
Here are the top seven stylish boy haircuts a traditional barbershop can do:
Faded or Line Buzz Cut
A regular buzz cut follows the same short length (usually between one to four inches) throughout the head. The faded variant adds flair since the sides will give the illusion of a silhouette getting darker and darker from the sideburns up to the temples.
A buzz cut with a shaved line adds a bit of drama, bringing a clipper-shaved line near the temples or the sideburn area of the head, giving them a de facto hairline.
Faded Barber’s Cut
The signature barber’s cut features sides tapered with scissors to give the face and hair a balanced look. The faded version does away with the scissors taper and uses clippers instead to trim the sides, with the sideburn area much shorter and the hair length getting longer as it goes up towards the temples. The final look comprises neat sides that gradually blend with the much longer top.
The Kiddie Undercut
Even kids can sport an undercut for school! The trick is to keep the hair on the top of the hair at least nine inches long so they can style it properly. A traditional barbershop may buzz the sides down to either of these lengths—one to four inches—and leave the top untouched.
Some barbers may fade the sides, so the transition from short to long hair doesn’t look too drastic. In the end, pomade or gel will be applied to the top hair so it can be styled into a fauxhawk, slicked back, or pompadour.
Faded Curly Fringe
If your boy has wavy hair, a faded fringe hairdo will do! Only the sides will be faded using a clipper, while the top’s length may be reduced to balance the volume. You can also adjust the fade height to show the contrast of clean, straight sides when paired with crisp, curly locks.
Fun Faux Hawk
This cut just below a mohawk strikes a balance between fun and formal! The sides are tapered down with scissors to a length that highlights the face’s cheek angles. Depending on its length, the top will be trimmed down further to about five inches or immediately styled upwards in an angular fashion.
Brush a little to the left or right for a unique take on this fun hairstyle!
Cute Caesar’s Cut
Parents who want to leave a bit of the top while keeping it neat overall can choose Caesar’s cut. Named after Roman emperor Tiberius, the hairdo features clean sides shaved down to a zero that gradually blends with the top, usually between five to seven inches in length and styled forward.
Boy Bangs
Bangs that fall just above the eyebrow line give your little man the versatility to style it in most directions. The sides can be tapered or shaved for balance. Just be sure to leave around six inches on top so your boy’s hairdo can be brushed whichever way he styles it.
Closing
Short, medium, and long haircuts on boys need not be plain and boring. These seven styles prove your little man can look dashing and fashion-forward while still observing their school’s dress code regulations.
