How to Style a Kids Fade Haircut

Your child can look stylish and trendy with the right haircut. But to achieve this look, you must find one that complements their facial features and hair texture and complies with school dress codes.

High Fade

A high fade is a timeless and stylish style for boys. Easy to style and works best with thick hair on top, its distinctive shaved line creates a striking contrast against longer locks with texturized finishes on the top. This haircut’s long top and short sides give young black boys a classic and contemporary look, making it easy to style it into various looks such as disconnected style, pompadour, comb over, or faux hawk. Pre-teen boys looking to elevate their barber shop haircut should consider opting for a skin fade and disconnected cut as an easy-to-style, long-haired amount that requires no special gel for styling. This hairstyle looks its best when styled back using medium or high hold gel for maximum hold.

Disconnected Long Top

This style features a long top with faded sides for an eye-catching, low-maintenance style that looks great. Kids will also have no difficulty keeping it looking its best! Ideal for boys with thin locks. To achieve the look, your child needs to let their hair grow out to at least 2 inches, before having it cut using a clipper guard number two and then brush back in such a way as to create a disconnected effect. Style this hairstyle in many ways, including the quiff or pompadour styles, or keep it casual by leaving it loose and messy for an ‘at-home’ vibe. Perfect for kids looking for that boy-next-door appearance. It also works well in work or school settings.

Bald Fade

If your kid wants a stand-out style, try this bald fade with a textured top. This cut is stylish and easy to maintain; it looks incredible when styled with lightning bolts or stars as hair designs! Black boys with thick Afro hair may prefer the high skin fade. You can customize your unique style by pairing this look with features such as combovers, complex razor parts, or pompadours to make it genuinely customized and eye-catching. Consider styling and maintenance needs when selecting a kid’s fade haircut. Specific styles require more maintenance than others, so it is wise to plan so your child can adjust and maintain their look as they grow older.

Comb Over Fade

The combover fade is the ideal combination of styles. Long on top and progressively shorter down the sides and back for a bright but not stuffy appearance, this style pairs well with any haircut, particularly naturally wavy or curly locks that can be styled into quiffs or other trendy shapes. Boys looking for a casual yet textured style should opt for a messy comb over a fade. A low taper fade keeps their appearance stylish enough for school, while the side-swept style adds texture for a younger and trendier appearance. Furthermore, this look pairs nicely with beards or mustaches, creating an extra-stylish appearance suited for special events.

Curly Fade

A fantastic kids’ fade haircut effectively highlights your boy’s natural texture while keeping his look neat and stylish. This look pairs a curly top with short fade sides for added definition; then, the top can be styled back or worked into using styling products for an eye-catching edgy style that makes him stand out. An offbeat mohawk style featuring a fade is an exciting and innovative hairstyle for kids who enjoy regularly changing their looks. This one combines classic 90s hair with the subtle definition provided by its fade feature to define the sides. It makes an ideal transition for children with more textured locks to start dreadlocks later on! Some boys enjoy following in their fathers or older brothers’ footsteps, and adopting faded haircuts can be an easy way to do just that. A long top that flips up at the front makes styling their two-level fade easier for them at home.
