Hair Designs for Boys

Before you get to the barbershop, show the cool hair designs below to your little boy and find out what he likes.

When you want something cute for your son, that can be easily washed off, go for a short trim on the sides.

You will be able to see the scalp, therefore you can draw whatever you want on the skin, including a cute strawberry. As for the top, do a sleek side comb and use red hair chalk or spray.

2. Bleached Pomp

When your little guy wears glasses and wants a sharp look, with a high Pomp, why not suggest a side design? Only two uneven razored lines and the aspect of the hairstyle will gain a rebellious note.

For the top, keep it long and bleached, then backcomb those tresses and style them with hair gel.

3. Crazy Lizard Mohawk

If your little man wants something out of the ordinary, then this is probably the best idea. If you’re not a conventional parent, a reptile haircut is going to make a jump of joy.

You will first need to draw the legs of the reptile, just like it’s sitting on his head. Once you’re done with all for legs you can work at the length and mohawk.

4. Zig Zag Side Design

Doing a zig-zag design on the sides will create a clear delimitation between the areas where the hair is longer.

First, you will do the design with a pen, then shortly trim the hair below the design. Also, create a very clear hairline.

5. Zig Zag Paring with Cornrows

First, to create this cute hair design for little boys, you will need to prep those locks. Add products that help you comb the hair.

Do a zig-zag parting, then build some smaller knits. Use these to feed in the main cornrow.

6. Bald Disconnected Fade

On the back, you can create a bald fade. On the sides, spice things up a little: with your trimming machine, draw some pointy lines or triangles that will better frame the design.

With a razor pen, you can draw a pointy line that resembles the beeping life line created by a heart monitor.

7. High Curly Top with Arched Side Line

A simple curved razored line will create a delimitation between the bald fade from the sides and the curls from the top.

Also, you can place that razored design in the middle of the fade, just to highlight the area.

8. Brick Design
