Haircuts and hairstyles for boys

For a long time, society believed that it was enough for a boy to look neat. All other thoughts about appearance were considered almost a deviation. This trend has now changed. And this is good news, because it is in childhood that it is important to lay the foundations for self-care, to help the boy develop a sense of style and the ability to express his individuality - including in his hairstyle.

In fact, the exact age at which boys think about their appearance has not been established. But if you notice how your child is examining himself in the mirror or staring at others closely, talk to him.

This is greatly influenced by:

• First experience;
• example of parents;
• age;
• the opinion of others.

Many children are afraid to get their hair cut. The sight of the tools or the sound of the clipper turned on makes them panic. Therefore, it is important to create a favorable atmosphere for the first haircut. Explain that it is fun, show with an example, or go to a kid's hairdresser. If the fear has already been formed, it will be more difficult to get rid of it. The example set by the parents is no less important here.

In general, three groups can be distinguished: up to 7 years; 7-11 years old and 12-17 years old. In each of these groups, their needs come first. In Russia, it is customary to cut children for the first time closer to the year. In fact, this date is not substantiated by anything other than superstition.The optimal age for the first haircut is when the child will be able to understand why this is being done, and it is better to express a desire himself. It usually appears when a child begins to draw on the opinions of others. Even in kindergarten, children discuss their hairstyles. And the boys keep up with the girls. In the beginning, children most often want to be like adults. In adolescence, the opposite is true. Sometimes the desire to stand out, to express oneself is mixed with this. Therefore, the options chosen are more than extravagant.

At any age, it is important that the child has a choice, and for this it is important to ask an opinion, show him the options, discuss their pros and cons.

Everyone has seen this haircut. Its characteristic feature is the longer parietal and occipital part of the hair. Moreover, the hair on the side may be absent altogether or be short. The main thing is that the difference is as tangible as possible. Very often, a few longer strands are left behind - a kind of "tail". The remaining hair can be pulled up, combed back, or to either side. The advantages of this haircut include:

• attractiveness - few children will refuse such an option;
• comfort when writing or reading - due to the absence of side strands;
• variability, the bulk of the hair can be styled in different ways, and drawings are often made on the sides, usually the central part is highlighted with lines or dragon paws are made to fully justify the name of the hairstyle.

Unlike the previous haircut, in this case the back of the head will be open. And the hair length in the upper part is less - up to three centimeters. A characteristic feature of this particular hairstyle is a clear border. It is unlikely that it will be possible to hide anything with its help (even little things like problem skin or dandruff). And with curly hair, the appearance will be peculiar. But a square or round face will stretch out.

Boxing should not be confused with another subspecies - semi-boxing. In shape, these types of hairstyles are similar, but in a half-box, the upper part may be longer. Yes, and the border moves from the top of the head below, and the cut from a sharp one turns into a smooth one. Boxing is more practical - washing your hair with it is quite simple, you do not need to style it, and most boys don’t even comb it. But any millimeters of regrown hair can ruin the whole look. Therefore, constant maintenance of the form is necessary here. The semi-box is less demanding in this respect. But the comb and styling products should always be at hand.

To express a strong character and fighting spirit, you can make a mohawk. Its feature in all variations is a well-defined strip of hair with the same width from crown to neck. In the classic version, all other hair is shaved off. For boys, to soften the effect a little, you can leave a little length on the sides. Here are the options.

• The mohawk does not have to be tall. The main thing is to remember about clear boundaries.
• Any mohawk can have more prominent bangs.
• The sides can be plain or patterned.

• You can also highlight the central part using color. This option can be called youth, since it is at this age that experiments with staining begin. For very young people, there are special hair crayons or tint products with a temporary effect. For little boys, there is also a temporary version of the Mohawk. To do this, if the length permits, the hair in the center must be fixed in an upright position. And the rest should be combed and smoothed.

The bob haircut can be called universal - it suits both boys and girls.It's just that the longer versions (for medium hair) are used mainly by teenagers. And for schoolchildren, a short bob is more suitable. The front strands of this hairstyle can reach eye level. From the back, the strands are cut in such a way that the neck is slightly open. This is ideal for fine hair. Moreover, to create volume, you do not need complex actions - after drying, the hairstyle should lie as it should.

In the classic version, the bottom section of the hair should be flat and as dense as possible. In modern design, great importance is attached to graduation - it can be smooth or stepped. At the peak of popularity, a bob with a short nape and lengthening to the face. A bang is a must-have for such a haircut. It happens:

• straight or beveled;
• thick or light (ragged, milled, elongated).

The asymmetric bob model uses the latter option. It is a kind of transitional element from one side to the other. Criticism is caused by bangs and lengthening of the side strands in the eye area.

The haircut of the same name with the Roman commander is distinguished by accuracy and precision. To perform it, you need a good master, who takes into account all the features of the face and the structure of the head. Since there are also several subspecies here, styling the option with longer hair also needs to be tried. Perhaps this is one of the few haircuts that are suitable exclusively for straight hair. A distinctive feature is dense straight bangs. It can be slightly raised or smooth. There are two types of hairstyles:

• with a clear silhouette;
• with a blurred transition from the crown.

Both look quite stylish, but created for different types. Maybe for someone the Caesar haircut will seem too adult and too masculine, then you can try to soften the line a little - the impression will immediately change.

Another classic haircut that has not lost its position for more than a decade. Moreover, modern interpretations have practically not changed it:

• the same round shape remained, similar to a pot, which served as templates for the first haircuts in this spirit;
• preference is given to straight hair, since it is they that give more volume and will lie as it should;
• ideally, the length on all sides should be the same, and if the graduation is done from behind, an even "hat" will not work.

According to the classical canons, it is believed that a haircut under a pot is more suitable for blondes, and precisely at an early, preschool age. So the appearance of the child will be truly angelic. At an older age, children rarely choose it, except in exceptional cases - if you need to hide flaws (for example, to correct the shape of the head or mask acne on the forehead).

Another haircut that is worth taking on board is the undercut. This is what makes it so remarkable.

• It has a large, rounded area from the forehead to the crown. To create the desired effect, its length can be up to 10 centimeters.
• The rest of the space can be cut to one level or with a slight transition down. On it you can make a border or shave a pattern.
• Usually hair from the forehead is combed towards the back of the head and less often - a little to the side.
• Correction is required only in the occipital and temporal areas. Moreover, it is quite possible to do it yourself.
• The upper part can be safely grown, and upon reaching a sufficient length, it can be collected in a tail. Another rather daring option is the pigtail.

Despite all the advantages, the child must be prepared for certain difficulties. The process of growing hair itself can take quite a long time. At this time, you need to take care of their fixation so that the strands do not hang over the face and do not interfere.

You can return to the classics at any time. But it is always interesting - what is really fashionable right now. A lot has been said above about individual model hairstyles. And if we consider fashion in general, we can formulate several nuances that need to be kept in mind. All kinds of lengthening are in fashion. And it doesn't matter where - on the back of the head or near the forehead. They do not lose their relevance despite the increased requirements for care and growing.

Also, now much attention is paid to decorating the hairstyle - edging it and shaving all kinds of patterns in free areas. It can be lightning, straight lines next to the parting, patterns, logos. To be in trend - choose asymmetry. Due to the mixing of different lengths and textures, it is she who has the largest number of styling options. Creating modern boy haircuts takes a very different approach. The haircut should be multi-layered and complex. You can take completely different hairstyles, choose what you like and get a unique version.

Depending on the boy's age, the choice may be influenced by:

• appearance;
• the ability to independently maintain a hairstyle in order;
• character;
• child activities.

When choosing a hairstyle, you need to take into account the shape of the forehead and ears, the proportions of the head and neck. But it is difficult to imagine this or that option, except with the help of special programs. In childhood, you can and should experiment. Much more depends on the skills of the child. If a boy can notice a mess in his hair in time or do styling on his own before school, you can choose a more complicated option.

A hairstyle can express a child's personality without words. Therefore, a mobile, active dreamer should not impose a classic, sleek hairstyle. Much depends on the type of occupation. A footballer needs a sporty and practical haircut. Long haircuts with elegant styling are a good option for a ballroom dance boy.

The result after visiting the hairdresser is quite decent. Difficulties arise when the same haircut needs to be re-styled, only at home. Therefore, all questions of interest must be asked directly in the salon. The most common option is hedgehog styling. And it is done very simply: the hair needs to be moistened, and then dried by helping yourself with your hands so that you get needle-like strands.

To keep the styling for a long time, you can use styling products - foams or gels. Some cosmetic brands have series for children made from natural ingredients. All products must first be tested for allergies. The same gel or mousse can be used if you want a smooth styling - for example, to style your hair back or to the side. Usually, most tools have a latching function.

It is also easy to make a volumetric styling. First, prepare a hair dryer and a brush - its teeth should not scratch and cause discomfort to the child. If this is your first time blow drying your hair, let the boy get comfortable. Turn the device on and off, direct the air at his hand - the temperature should be comfortable. The necessary strands should be lifted at the roots and dried.

Sometimes it is necessary that individual strands lie strictly in accordance with your idea - casually, gracefully or neatly. To do this, you should take more effective styling products - for example, wax. It can be recommended by teenagers. Everyday styling is best done without any means. For curly hair, all the rules are the same. In order not to break the curls and curls, the comb should be sparse. It is not necessary to use a hairdryer. But it is better to lay the curls in the right direction while still wet.To prevent them from getting confused and easy to comb, there is a special baby spray.

The child can hardly be called ugly. Perhaps this is inherent in the subconscious. Most likely, in relation to children, untidiness is synonymous with ugliness. Therefore, a happy, well-groomed baby with a neat hairstyle will always look cute and attractive.

Children often look unnatural with adult hairstyles. In everyday life, absolutely all boys are perky, and sometimes funny styling.

Sometimes, with the help of creative ideas, even an adult haircut can be decorated brightly and in accordance with age. The same shaved drawings have a lot of motives that are suitable for young boys.

For older boys, you can choose a more unusual model. Here you can endlessly play with long hair, its color and shape, invent new unique styling options.

A well-chosen haircut with the right styling will always look stylish. The same hairstyle can be styled with different moods. A striking example is the creation of a slight carelessness on a classic hairstyle. Accessories such as glasses or a scarf will help complement the look.
