- changing such a hairstyle is not easy, of the suitable options, only boxing or a haircut to zero; such a narrow choice is due to the shortened back of the head and temples;

How to choose?
When choosing a hairstyle for a child, it is important to take into account many nuances. Features of appearance in general and hair in particular play a big role. Estimate the shape of the boy's face and the shape of the head. The haircut must match the character and general style. Even at the age of 5, it is important that the child, and not just you, like the hair styling option.

Choosing the right hairstyle is very important to create a stylish look. It is worth adhering to the following rules:
- make sure that there are strands of different lengths in the haircut;
- try experimenting with asymmetry and sharp transitions, children's hairstyles with such features look especially cute;
- children's haircuts are best done with bangs, because the image will look sweeter and softer; baby hair beautifully frames the face;
- shaved drawings are suitable not only for kids, but also for teenagers.

It is believed that half boxing is suitable for all guys at any age. For boys 7-10 years old, you can make the upper strands quite long, but for teenagers from 14 years old, it is better to choose a medium or short length. Baby hair is softer and will fall off in airy strands, framing the face. With age, male hair becomes stiffer, the hairstyle should take into account this nuance.
The main feature of this hairstyle is that it visually lengthens the shape of the face. This is a great solution for guys with a square and round oval. If the face is rather elongated and narrow, then it is worth abandoning the half-box haircut. Such a hairstyle is contraindicated with a narrow forehead and a heavy chin. The special structure of the semi-box will only emphasize the listed facial features.

The younger the child, the more attention should be paid to comfort rather than beauty. If you manage to combine both aspects, make a decision without hesitation. Most little boys are fine with a semi-box, but the exact length of the strand should be selected individually. In adolescence, it is better to let the guy decide on the length of his hair.
How to care and style?

- It is necessary to wash your hair daily. Choose a shampoo based on the characteristics of your hair. Choose a product that is intended for permanent use, otherwise the structure of the hair will be disrupted.
- A balm or conditioner after washing will help maintain a soft and healthy sheen. Styling your hair after this treatment will be much easier.

Hair correction can also be done at home. You should not use scissors, it is better to get a high-quality clipper, which will allow you to make a high-quality haircut with minimal skills. You will need both short and long attachments.With a large nozzle, start cutting from the back of the head up, gradually moving to the top of the head. Cut against hair growth. At the temples, use a small attachment to keep your hair significantly shorter. If you do your hairstyle on curly hair, then you should not straighten it. An interesting hair structure will only improve the appearance of a semi-box haircut.

Choose the right attachments. The length at the crown should not exceed 6–8 cm, and the rest of the hair should be within 2–5 cm. Bangs are relevant only for children's hairstyles, you should not do it for adolescents. On average, you need to visit a hairdresser or make a correction yourself once every 4 weeks. If the hair grows very quickly, then once every 3 weeks. It is important to maintain a neat look, otherwise the semi-box will lose its shape.
