What are the Types of Basic Boy Hair Styles

Each boy’s particular hair cut will depend on a number of factors, including his hair texture, how active he is, and his age. Short hair styles are best for most boys, and simple styles are easiest to care for. The basic types of haircuts for boys include:

* Military Hair Cuts: These short buzzes are fast to create and style, and they will not get tangled or cause other problems no matter how active a boy is.

Side swept style.

* Spikes: Short spikey styles give a boy’s hair its own personality without getting out of control. A little hair gel can make easy spikes all over the hair or just in the front if the bangs are a little longer.
* Tapered Styles: A basic cut with tapered sideburns, bangs, and neck will blend well with a child’s delicate features while keeping his hair style fun.
* Side Swept Styles: This is a classic cut for slightly less active boys. The hair is a bit longer and parted on the side, with the longer portion swept over the top of the head and forehead in a graceful curve. This is also a great style for special occasions.
* Shag Hair Styles: A shag is a great option for slightly older boys who admire a less rigid look. Shags use different layers to create a slightly disheveled look without getting out of control.
* Long Curls: A boy with naturally curly hair may need a slightly longer hair style to add weight and help tame his locks. The hair can drop to the eyebrow or top of the ear, with layers continuing to the collar. This is longer than most boys’ hair styles, but still not unmanageable.
* Comb Down Styles: This longer style is popular for very young boys. The hair is allowed to grow to the bottom of the ear or jaw in a single, simple layer, usually parted in the middle. This is a great style for toddlers, but becomes less practical as older boys get more active and may be teased by their peers for having longer hair.
