Layered Bob
-
A layered bob hairstyle works for boys and girls, regardless if they have thick or thin hair. A bob can be cut anywhere from above the shoulders to above the ears. The cut should be even across the bottom with layers added to create a rounded shape. To give a very trendy twist, use choppy layering with many angled cuts. Style the look each morning by spreading a dab of gel on the tips of hair to create a spiky effect.
Long Blunt
-
A long and blunt-cut hairstyle looks good on little girls with curly or straight hair. The style is achieved by simply cutting the long hair straight across. This cut looks good with or without bangs and is highly versatile. The cut can be worn in a ponytail or pigtails, a braid, or bun, and you can dress up the look with headbands, barrettes, and clips. To help prevent severe tangling, cut the hair waist-length or shorter.

Mohawk
-
A short Mohawk is a very popular hairstyle for boys. The look is created by shaving both sides of the head, leaving a strip of longer hair in the middle of the head. You can also create the look by cutting the hair at the sides of the head short with a middle strip left long. All you need is a little gel each morning to help spike the middle strip of hair into a Mohawk, and you're ready to go.
Shag
-
Shag hairstyles for children are just as cute and stylish as they've ever been. A shag hairstyle can be cut as long as desired, although most are around shoulder length. The look is created by trimming the hair into uneven layers. The bangs are usually layered and left long to be sideswept. The best feature of this style is that it looks great even when it's a little messy.
Streaks
-
Colored streaks through the hair are as popular for children as they are for teenagers. Boy or girl, any haircut can become instantly stylish with the right streaks. Little girls look adorable with bubble-gum pink, royal purple, or aqua green streaks in their bangs. Little boys look trendy with jet black, electric blue, or neon orange streaks at the tips of their hair. If you're worried about using anything too permanent, try some temporary colored gels or sprays instead.
