How to choose a hairstyle for teenage boys 16-17 years old?

At any age, a person strives to be outwardly attractive. This adds confidence and makes him feel free and comfortable in any situation. This is especially significant for adolescents, because it is during this period that the opinion of others about themselves and about their appearance, in particular, is extremely important.

Now there are a large number of different hairstyles for 16-17 year old boys. When choosing a haircut, there are many factors to consider: these are the character traits and temperament features of a teenage boy, and the type of hair, and the shape of the face, and, of course, the purpose of the haircut:

• stand out from peers;
• to become like an idol: an actor, musician, athlete;
• keep up with fashion;
• create a unique and inimitable image;
• look well-groomed and tidy.

To choose the right haircut, you must first take into account the type of hair. For owners of thin hair, it is better to choose short haircuts that do not require styling: after all, thin hair is not able to maintain the shape of the hairstyle for a long time, since it lacks the necessary volume. For fine hair, there are excellent options.

• Low "platform"... The hair on the parietal zone is cut short and horizontally. In contrast to the classic "platform", the hair is cut shorter. The hairstyle is versatile, easy to clean and very practical.

• Hedgehog with an enlarged top. The peculiarity of the haircut is the presence of long bangs and a dense parietal zone. Strands can be combed forward, backward, sideways. At the same time, the hairstyle is easy to care for: it is enough to gently dry the hair and give it the necessary shape with a comb.

• Undercut (undercut, "British") with a textured pattern. The temples and the back of the head are shaved with fancy patterns, due to which additional volume is achieved on the forehead and crown. The hairstyle looks really stylish and original, but it requires special care.

• Mohawk with a ponytail. Although it is gradually falling out of fashion, shaved whiskey and braided or ponytail hair add volume to fine hair.

Thick hair, unlike thin hair, retains the shape of the hairstyle well, but due to its natural rigidity, it does not always hold the styling. There are also options for those with thick hair.

• Undercut (undercut, "British")... When creating a hairstyle, the shaved temples and the back of the head smoothly merge into an elongated crown and bangs. The hairstyle is very convenient for schoolchildren: the hair does not interfere and does not cover the eyes. A haircut requires maintenance and constant styling with foam or gel.

• Semi-box... Unlike classic boxing, in this hairstyle the hairline should be below the back of the head. This haircut makes the teenage boy courageous, adds simplicity and charisma to the image.

• "Under the pot." Looks best on manageable medium length hair. The name was chosen for a reason: the hairstyle really resembles a pot. The bangs should remain straight, the rest of the hair is trimmed around the perimeter of the head at the same level. The hairstyle is easy to maintain, but requires constant adjustments.

• "Scallop" (mohawk). To create a hairstyle, you need to completely shave the sides and leave the elongated strands at the back of the head and crown. Boys who are not afraid to stand out or seem somewhat old-fashioned will feel comfortable in this image.

• "Grunge". All strands are combed forward and made to the same length. This haircut requires special care and is suitable for romantic boys. In addition, long bangs will help hide skin imperfections, which is very important for a teenager.

• Elongated bob. The peculiarity of the hairstyle lies in the elongated bangs to the eyebrows and the voluminous back of the head and crown. The hairstyle looks very unusual and, like grunge, suits romantic people.

Owners of hair of medium thickness should pay attention to other hairstyles.

• "Caesar". The bangs are combed forward, covering the forehead by about one third. A haircut is of two types: with a transition (the length of the hair in the temporal and occipital parts gradually decreases) and without a transition (the hair remains the same length).

• Tangled hair up. The hair on the sides is cut to 1–2 cm, and at the top the length is kept as long as possible. The hairstyle looks very natural, but requires careful maintenance and is suitable for older boys.

However, there are men's hairstyles that look equally good on both thick and thick hair.

• "Platform" (aka "platform"). The hairstyle assumes a short-cut back of the head and sides, the upper part should be cut strictly horizontally. Hair direction - up. The hairstyle is unique and laconic in its own way, it combines both softness and strength.

• Boxing... This haircut suits almost all boys, it is universal and appropriate in any circumstances. The hair is cut short from the sides and back of the head, while the hairline remains above the back of the head. Importantly, the hairstyle does not require frequent shampooing and is extremely easy to maintain.

• "Canadian". A versatile and incredibly comfortable hairstyle. The hair is cut short at the back, at the temples and on the sides, the hair is combined with voluminous elongated strands on the forehead and crown. The hairstyle certainly adds style and sophistication to the overall look.

For a harmonious and natural hairstyle, it is also necessary to take into account the shape of the face. The most common types are oval, round, triangular, heart-shaped, square, and diamond-shaped.

• Oval type assumes a smooth narrowing of the face in the direction from the forehead to the chin. The jaw line is narrower than the forehead line, and the cheekbones are clearly defined. Short haircuts are suitable for owners of an oval face type. To keep it from looking round, you need to pull your hair back or comb your bangs to expose your forehead. The following variations are suitable for a teenage boy: "British", "Canadian", boxing, semi-boxing.

• A young man with round face type wide cheekbones, narrow jaw, and the face is the same in length and width. Therefore, the hairstyle that the young man chooses should clearly outline the vertical and horizontal lines, due to which the illusion of corners will be created. Bangs should be avoided on short haircuts and asymmetries should be created to create contrast. The choice should be the following hairstyles: "British", "Canadian", "quiff" (a variation of the mohawk).

• Triangular face differs from others in a narrow chin, wide forehead and cheekbones. It is difficult to choose the right hairstyle for this type of face. Teens should look for short haircuts that accentuate the jawline. A great find - hair pulled to one side. Different options are suitable for triangular faces: an elongated bob, undercut, "Canadian", "quiff", haircuts with a comb left / right, haircuts with bangs. The classic square will further emphasize the triangularity of the face, it should be avoided.

• Heart-shaped face type - a variation of the triangular, however, his chin is sharper, and the cheekbones are softer and wider. Young men are better off choosing hairstyles that gently frame the face.

• At square type the teenager has a symmetrical face. The young man has a low forehead, a clear, pronounced jaw line, while the cheekbones are quite wide. He can safely experiment and choose extraordinary hairstyles. Short haircuts and bangs are suitable for him: they will make the face more attractive.

• Owners diamond type have a wide cheekbone line, narrow forehead and chin. Young men need to balance the proportions: to make the chin and forehead visually wider. It is worth choosing stepped haircuts, do not shorten the hair on the sides. Hairstyles with long hair will look great: they will smooth out sharp corners.

Any hairstyle can be spiced up by using your imagination and adding a little fantasy.... The usual classic boxing and semi-boxing turns into an original hairstyle, as soon as the master shaves an intricate pattern on the temporal lobe. You can experiment with the parting: make it straight, oblique, zigzag. On the Canadian, you can make a bouffant, or you can let go of the hair and tie their tail. Strands can be torn, and bangs can be made oblique.

A hairstyle should reflect the inner world of a person, and if you want changes and radical changes, then adolescence is the ideal time to experiment. You should not categorically forbid a boy to choose one or another hairstyle, even if it does not suit him. The main thing that a teenager must learn is that any, even the most fashionable and stylish hairstyle will not decorate him if he does not take care of his hair - wash daily, comb thoroughly, style if necessary, go to the hairdresser on time.

• Hairstyle "Canadian"... Refined and stylish, it will certainly add self-confidence to its owner. The hair is combed to the right for a graceful asymmetry.
