Short Haircuts for Boys

Boys have options when it comes to short haircuts. Shorter hair is easier for boys and their parents to deal with when it comes to washing and grooming.

Types

Types of short haircuts you'll commonly find on boys include crew cuts, buzz cuts, slight sweep or comb down. These work well on straight and wavy hair.

Features

Short haircuts leave the ears and the nape of the neck exposed. If a boy wears bangs, they're typically shorter than two inches and can be worn combed forward or styled straight up.

Benefits

Short hair makes cleansing and daily grooming a breeze. Boys can quickly and easily comb or brush a style into place without help.

Effects

For different looks, boys can use gel or pomade to get hair to "stick," either up or out.

Considerations

Curly hair that's cut very short might be easier to comb through; depending on the type of curl, low-cut curly hair can look wavy or straight.
