Boy’s Haircuts That Are Too Cool for Summer

The hot days of summer are nearly here. What better way to prep for summer heat than with a fresh new haircut. Here are a few ideas to inspire you when choosing a haircut for the young man in your life. You’ll have your little guy looking too cool for summer.

Crew Cut

This is a classic summer style for men and boys alike. The hair on top of the head is cut short and stands upright. The longest hair at the front hairline forms a very short pomp that graduates to the shortest at the crown. The hair on the sides and back are tapered short. For thicker hair ask for no more than an inch at the front, and for thinner hair ask for it to be just a little longer.

Undercut

This one is very similar to a crew cut. The difference is that an undercut is parted and the hair on top is long. The sides and back are still buzzed. You can style an undercut in a variety of ways from spiked to slicked back. Ask your barber to add a side part on the side that their hair naturally parts on for an easy-care style.

High Top and Drop Fade

This cut is great for hair with a lot of natural texture. Hair is left long and brushed up on top, then fades into the sides and back which are brushed downward. This is a cool, modern style that embraces the hair’s natural texture with a clean-cut appearance.

Curly Cut

Help your child learn to love his curls with a curly cut. This is a relaxed scissor cut with the hair on top a little longer than on the sides with a few layers to create texture and promote curl. This cut looks natural and tousled without looking shaggy. It’s great for kids that don’t enjoy styling their hair and want a more natural care-free style.

The professional barbers here at The Ultimate Barber would love to help your son beat the heat with a cool summer cut. Whether he just needs a trim, or if he wants to buzz it all off, he’ll leave us looking and feeling great.

Grooming. Relax and enjoy a professional hot towel or hot lather shave by our professional barbers. It’s the perfect downtime away from the stress of holiday planning and busy days at the office. It’s also a great treat for your teenage son who has begun shaving for the first time.

Unconventional Hairstyles For Your Son

If your child is eight or younger, you probably have a lot of control over their looks. Mom and Dad usually call the shots for everything from outfits to hairstyles. If your son is bored of his traditional haircut, there’s lots of ways you can mix it up. Keep reading for some unconventional hair ideas for your son.

Match with Dad. There’s nothing cuter than a father and son duo rocking the same haircut. Ask your barber to give your child the ‘kid-sized’ version of dad’s fade. There’s actually a scientific reason it’s cute, too! Your kid gets half his genetics from dad. Even if they’re not identical, they likely have similar facial structure or face shape. If a style looks good on dad, it’ll probably look good on your son too.

Faux-hawk. This edgy style is adorable on kids! It’s unique without being too “out there” and it gives your child the chance to show off their personality. Your son will feel like a rockstar with his new style. Your barber will show you how to style it with gel at home so you can recreate the look at home. Want to take the rockstar look up a notch? Consider using temporary hair chalk for fun, washable color.

Long hair. Not every kid likes short hair. As your kid gets older, they will likely have preferences for the length of their hair. Call it the Justin Bieber effect: we’re starting to see a lot more boys opting for longer hair. Even if your son prefers longer locks, he should still get regular trims. Getting a trim every four to six weeks will keep his hair healthy and free of split ends. You could even compromise with a trendy cut: long hair on top, with shorter hair on the sides.

Still not sure which hairstyle is just right for your little boy? Let our barber’s at The Ultimate Barber help you find the perfect look.

Trending Hairstyles for Your Little Boy

If you struggle with choosing your little boys haircut, you’re not alone. There are many creative haircuts that are trending now, it’s hard to pick just one. The good thing is they’ll be able to express who they are through a unique hairstyle. Here are some of the best hairstyles trending now.

Side Swept Fringe with Tapered Sides
A hairstyle with tapered sides has hair that gradually reduces in length, starting near the top of the head to the neck. It’s a very classic style, and when paired with the side swept fringe up front, it looks right on trend.

Hard Side Part with High Fade
This look features a very defined side part. While the fade keeps hair shorter and cleaner, it also creates a classy look. The fade is very similar to the taper, but a fade blends the hair with the skin, creating a faded look. The hair can start with long or very short hair on top, but eventually it fades into the skin by the neckline.

Fade with Spiky Hair
Spiky hair seems to be a favorite look among boys. This hairstyle has a fade along the sides and longer hair that’s spiked on the top of the head. Of course, you can adjust the length to create your own unique look.

Fade with Curly Hair
If your son has curly hair, a great look is to keep it short along the sides, with a fade, and have a longer length to allow curls to form on top. This is a great, low maintenance hair style to allow them to do a quick comb and be ready to run!

Long Pompadour Fade
You’ll need to get a quality pomade or styling product to keep this look in place so it’s definitely for your older “little boy”. The hair on top will be long and needs to be styled, while the sides are kept short and faded, for a clean yet stylish look.
