30 Little Boy Haircuts

Finding the right haircut for your little boy can be tricky. If he’s not a toddler, he’s old enough to have an opinion about what his hair looks like, but you’ll still want to choose something that works with his hair type and is relatively easy to maintain. Inspired by the classic haircuts and trendy looks that grown-up guys are sporting, we’ve collected 30 of the best little boy haircuts to help you choose the perfect style for your growing boys.

This side parted style leaves hair long enough on top to be styled sideways across the head, while an undercut around the back and sides keeps this haircut trendy looking and easy to maintain.

If your little boy isn’t at the age where he’s interested in having his hair styled or combed, giving him a haircut with texture will create shape without requiring daily styling. This particular cut looks great on little boys with finely textured hair, and cuts a fringe around the face to keep hair from getting in his eyes.

Looking as dapper as the older men in his life, this haircut is fun and stylish. Your little boy will feel special having a barber give him this skin faded haircut, while the razor line is a fun added detail that echoes trendy grown-up looks.

Most haircuts that have slightly longer hair on top can be styled into a faux hawk for a special event when you’d like to try putting some product in your little boy’s hair. Unlike a real mohawk, this style doesn’t require any long term commitment.

With undercut sides and longer hair on top, this trendy quiff requires a little more styling than some of the more basic cuts on our list. On days when you don’t have time to deal with styling and products, your little boy can wear this in a basic side combed style.

Layers are key to making a medium or long haircut manageable for your little boy. Featuring flicked layers that extend past the nape of the neck, this is a sporty looking style that might have your little guy feeling like one of his favorite hockey players.

Combining the edgy mohawk and the clean look of a faded haircut, this mohawk fade haircut is a great option for little boys who want to look sporty yet stylish.

Short and simple, this haircut features some soft layers throughout the top, and tapers gently at the back and sides to create a classic silhouette. If you’re having trouble getting any input from your little boy about what kind of haircut he’d like to have, this short layered cut is a safe bet.

Little boys with thick, straight hair look great wearing this tapered cut that’s somewhere between short and mid-length. The style can look like a classic kid’s cut, but looks especially stylish when paired with dressier clothing options. You just have to get him to agree to wear them!

For little boys with natural curls, this classic fade haircut is a great way to keep their hair looking sharp that requires almost no styling time in between haircuts.

Summer offers up the perfect opportunity for your little boy to grow his hair a little bit longer. This mid-length haircut features some subtle layers and textured ends that help to give it that beachy, surfer vibe.

For little boys with a thick curl or wave in their hair, the current trend towards styles that are shorter at the sides and longer on top offers up the perfect opportunity to embrace the hair’s natural texture without being long all over and difficult to maintain.

This softly spiked mohawk is a great way to give your little boy a mohawk-inspired look without having to style it with product every day.

This undercut pompadour is the perfect haircut for cool little boys who love vintage rockabilly style. Use a comb and a strong hold product to get the pictured style, and try a side combed look on days when you have less time to perfect the look.
