The early years of a child’s life are incredibly special, and parents want to capture all the important moments on camera. Parents are particularly obsessed with the appearance of their little boy, and a haircut for a boy is an extremely important aspect of this look. The cutest hairstyles for young boys are replicas of adult hairstyles.

Take a look at these photos of children’s haircuts in our article below and choose the best option specifically for your child.

Quiff haircut

Another adult hairstyle that looks equally great on little ones is the quiff. It’s perfect for young boys who typically sport short hair but want to look elegant for special occasions like weddings or birthdays. Best suited for straight hair with a short back and sides cut, it also pairs well with a fade. Apply a bit of gel or pomade to the front hair and shape it into a quiff while combing the sides neatly for a tidy appearance.

Haircut with parting for little boys

The side part suit every face shape and carries a retro vibe. Popular in the 50s and 60s, it’s an elegant way to style your little one’s hair. It works best if he has a natural deep side part. Using a fine-toothed comb and pomade or gel, smooth the hair from one side to the other. This haircut is ideal for boys with naturally straight and fine hair as these hair types have minimal waviness and volume.

Haircut with shaving for little boys

The hard part, also known as the shaved part, involves shaving a clean line at the side with a trimmer or razor. It adds an extra dynamic element to any style, such as a comb-over. If you want your little one’s short hairstyle to look different, try the hard part. It looks great combined with a deep side part.

Undercut

Some little boys just love to look as smooth as James Dean. To achieve this look, the hair needs to be combed backward. The hair should be longer on top and medium length on the sides. This haircut only requires scissors. The sides should be shorter but not so short that they cannot be combed backward. Ensure that the hair gets longer towards the top so it can be successfully combed back across the crown. The hair on the crown shouldn’t require too many layers; it just needs to start getting shorter towards the back. The hair might look odd before styling, but after applying gel or wax for extra hold and smoothing out the hair, it’ll look like a million bucks.

Messy crop

You can showcase super creativity and go for something that makes your little one stand out. In this case, it’s about dividing the length with a undercut and a sharp line, completing the look.

Medium haircut for little boys

Children’s hair is so soft and delicate that it’s often a pity to cut it, especially when it has such a beautiful wavy texture. Such a hairstyle for your little one will give him a look that is fashionable and suits his age.
