Show Me, Boys, Haircuts

The Dapper Style

When your son wants to look his best, this dapper style will indeed please. Combining a close-to-skin fade with a longer top makes him appear polished beyond his years. A comb-over fade is easy to style – apply some pomade for an irresistibly dapper finish! Boys with medium to thick hair will appreciate this versatile haircut.

The Ivy League

Are you looking for a classic Ivy League haircut? Keep the sides and back shorter while lengthening the top to add texture. Ask your barber to add some volume with texture! If you have curly hair, try a variation of the Ivy League that suits its natural texture. This style features tighter fades at the sides with slightly more length up top to accommodate your coils. Pair this look with a well-groomed beard to complete an attractive, sophisticated look suitable for any event. Orlando Bloom sports such a look himself; it is a timeless style that always goes in fashion.

The Side Swept Look

Medium-length hair looks just as elegant when pulled over one shoulder in a side-swept style, perfect for business presentations or brunch with the girls. Add drama with a dramatic smoky eye, and keep things upbeat with some volumizing hairspray! Here, Laverne Cox displays an effortless side-swept style. Pinning just a few strands to secure it is likely enough; her remaining hair has been loosely gathered and tucked into a low bun suitable for formal events. This side-swept style blends a relaxed yet romantic vintage aesthetic. To achieve it, use a rat tail comb to sweep back and forth through a low ponytail before teasing up side strands that frame the face and give your style volume, making it stand out from the crowd. Finish this look off with some hairspray for maximum hold all day long!

The Faux Hawk

The faux hawk may look complicated, but it’s an incredibly straightforward cut that’s simple to manage and style in multiple ways. Wavy hair will suit this haircut well, melding perfectly with natural waves. Use a good holding spray to emphasize and enhance curls for more volume and style for an additional polished touch. Mohawks, though extreme, will get you banned from pubs due to their punk aesthetic, while this variation exposes only minimal parts of your head while still channeling its punk feel. It features a short back and sides with longer lengths on top that can be slicked back, down, or even styled into a pointed shape for maximum versatility. To achieve this look, consult a barber about fading out the bottom section while leaving plenty of length at the top. When styling, be sure to use both texturizing products and hold spray.

The Mohawk

A jagged pompadour could be an excellent choice if your teenage boy wants to experiment with something different with his look. Easy to maintain and stylish all at the same time, this classic cut looks fantastic when worn with a low fade and a shaved line in the middle. Perfect for thick locks while remaining stylish! This boys’ haircut with a low taper fade, shaved strip in the middle, and spikes is ideal for young teens looking to express their rebellious side without going too far overboard. This look can easily be kept neat or punched using pomade for an eye-catching style that works at school parties and wedding receptions. A short comb-over fade with a hard part is another fashionable style for boys of any age. Easy to maintain, this cut works wonders on straight or curly locks.
