The most popular short boys haircuts for school are stylish and express a lot of personalities. Many of us remember when our little boy was just, well, a little boy. And now, it seems, time has flown by, and our son is quite the school-age young man.
Of course, young boys and spunky hairstyles go hand in hand. Indeed, this year’s best and most popular short boys haircuts and styles cover the spectrum from short and spiky to fade cuts and a lot of cool texture.
- French Crop with Disheveled Designs
Cool designs paired with a classic, messy French crop make for the perfect haircut for young, style-conscious teens. While not many adolescent boys opt for the shorter, cropped top, most are comfortable with a tight, skin-close side fade. So, if you’re a guy who wants to keep it a bit longer on top but “clean” and styled like a messy French crop, working in some texturizing to blend perfectly into a side fade looks just enough ease and effortlessness. And, of course, adding a “hair tattoo” design ups the cool factor to “off the charts.”
- The Toddler Textured
This cut is a really neat style. The kids in your child’s class will probably make a fuss over how cool his new haircut looks. Get your stylist to take the sides and back short and notch into the top with scissors for a sassy finish. You’ll need some gel for the “just woke up” spiky look that gives this cut its personality. With the fast pace of hair growth at this age, you’ll need to get this style touched up every 4-5 weeks to keep it from going rogue.
- Well -Patterned Waves
This boy’s cool school-day hairstyle features layered and patterned waves. The most important thing to retain in this cut is the length around the crown—just the right amount for the “do” to look natural and not contrived. I bet lots of boys would secretly like to have a hairstyle like this one for just that reason.
- Tapered Hard Part Hair Spikes
This look is super cool right now. It features a hard part that is cut in with a razor—although it could also be done with a pair of clippers—on one side of the head. The other side of the head has a smooth blend up to the top. The top is cut to the appropriate length and is styled with a slight side part and a quiff that has just enough volume to make it a little puffy in the front. Of course, using a water-soluble pomade can make this “clean” look happen. And it can also recreate that “near-a-mirror” slickness.
- High Fade Paired with Clean Lines
The high fade with lines is an emerging style among young boys, and it can be adjusted for the right head shape or to suit the young man’s personality. To get the top to stand upright like the models, use a firm hold pomade or paste. Also, make sure to pull the hair tight and flip the front of the “bangs” up. For a little added insurance, use a light hairspray. I do not recommend the type of fade shown on the right temple for guys who don’t want to be called “stuntin’.”
- Black Retro Top
The hairstyle that resembles a high-top or flat-top is quite retro. We recommend that the person getting this haircut use an afro comb and sheen spray to maintain the style and keep the look shiny. We’re also suggesting that the person letting their stylist cut this shape into their hair blow dry it first for the best possible outcome. A curl sponge can also be used for this look, and we recommend using advanced sculpting gel if you want a softer, more curlicue version of this haircut. This haircut is also mainly for boys
- Faded And Slicked-Back Hairstyle
This short boys haircuts style can also be worn on evening outings. It is a zero fade that integrates a longer top into a shorter back and sides. The longer top can be styled in a number of ways. With pomade, one can achieve a look that is both sleek and classic. On the other hand, if using matte clay, the hairstyle may tend more toward the textured and voluminous end of the spectrum.
- Boys’ Comb Overs
The comb-over is one of the classic short boys haircuts and is very much in vogue now. It is easy and quick to do. It is a timeless hairstyle that has been around for years and years. Whether a boy has straight, wavy, or even curly hair, he can have a comb-over. You might think that the comb-over is unexciting, but I think it is a hairstyle that deserves more respect. It is a hairstyle that has grace and poise. And it is not boring. You can use a good pomade with it and make it shine or spray it with a volumizing hair spray, and you will have a comb-over that looks pretty darn good.
