When it comes to boys haircut ideas, you know you have to choose for them, more often than not. That being said, you have two options. You can choose a classic cut – that’s been in use for decades now, or even more than that, as you’ll see below. Or you can go for a more modern option.

To help you out of this little conundrum, we’ve compiled a list of 45 boys haircut ideas for you to choose from. Here they are!

1. The Medium Messy Boys Haircut

Gone are the days when a boys haircut had to be a zero or a one and when he had to be all clean and polished. Boys are allowed to be a little more free and artistic with their hair nowadays and this cut is here to prove just that. The medium messy no part cut is one that can advantage any boy, no matter his age or the shape of his face.

2. The Long Bangs Boys Haircut

If he’s got the facial frame for it, why not try some bangs? However, he’s a tip from well-versed parents who’ve been through this before. Do take the time to ask the kid if he wants bangs before you give him some. It’s not a good idea to send him to school with bangs if he’s not into it. Those preteen and teen years are hard enough as it is without your mom giving you bangs.

3. The Messy Skater Boys Haircut

Here’s a haircut that most boys love, no matter their age. Even though it’s called the skater, seeing as it was inspired by skater boys, it doesn’t mean that your kid has to own or even use a skateboard. Or a longboard for that matter. Boys who like this haircut usually like to cultivate the look. It’s all about the messy bangs and long strands of hair.

4. The Combover Pompadour

Here is one of the most modern looks and cuts you could hope for when it comes to hair. The pompadour has been all the rage in the past few years and there is no reason why your little boy shouldn’t embrace it as well. This is a flat pompadour, combed over to one side. You can also see how both sides of the head have been shaved clean, giving it a very sleek and cool look.

5. The Spiky Bangs Boys Haircut

If there’s one thing that teen boys love, that’s spikes in their hair. There’s just something about them, isn’t it? It’s like once they turn a certain age, they hear the siren song of the spikes and have to have them. Well, then, you can be a good parent and nurture your son’s love for spikes with this one of a kind haircut. It’s a messy cut, with very long spikes at the front. He’ll be needing some hair wax.

6. The Extra Blonde Fauxhawk

No list of boys haircuts would be complete without a fauxhawk. If someone ever made a top of the most adorable hairstyles for little boys, the fauxhawk would definitely come in first. Just look at this little guy!

7. Long Windswept Boys Haircut

A young age is perfect to try long haircuts for boys. It’s good to experiment and see how they look and feel with longer hair. It is also a good idea to first grow out their hair instead of chopping it all off for health reasons.

8. The Hard Part Fade with a Design

If you want to go modern, then this is clearly the cut to choose. It’s a short boys haircut with a hard part and faded sides into which a model has been designed. The model itself draws inspiration from footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.

9. Curly Boys Haircut

You can also use the hard part in case your little boy has curly hair, and you want to cut his hair short, but you don’t really want it to be boring. All you need to do is use the hard part, shave it on one side and let the curls unfold on the other.

10. Holiday Boys Haircut – Curly Top Knot and Side Decal

Here’s another example of what you can do with a hard part. If you’re on holiday, for instance, your little one will surely want to play. The hard part will help you here as well. Tie the longer strands in a bun, following the part.

11. Boys Haircut with Long Bangs

Here’s a shaggy long haircut every mom will fall in love with. It will make it impossible to keep your fingers out of it. You’ll basically want to give your son a good ruffle every time he passes you by. And why not?

12. Long, Shaggy Boys Haircut

This is yet another type of shaggy but just as charming. It’s for smaller children, toddlers even, who haven’t yet lost their baby curls. If you can’t seem to make up your mind to cut them off yet, go for this style instead.

13. The Brooklyn Beckham Boys Haircut

Two of the Beckham boys feature on this list, among other celebrity kids, and this is just the first one. Brooklyn Beckham is famous in his own right now, thanks to his chiseled good looks, charm, style, and, yes, fine hair.

14. Messy Hightop Swept Back Hair

Here is a haircut for teenage boys that will require a bit of grooming and preparation every time they leave the house. Therefore, you might want to prepare yourself for that. You might also want to invest in some good hair care products for him.

15. Layered Blonde Hair with a Long Fringe

There’s possibly nothing more beautiful in a young boy than a layered haircut. If your pre-teen agrees and has the style to match this type of cut, you should definitely go for it. He’s going to be big with the girls.

16. The Superman-Batman Design

Here’s a fun one for you and your kid. This one is for the small boys, of course, who still wear Superman pajamas and want to defeat Batman in one on one combat. It’s a short haircut with a faded back and a fantastic Superman-Batman logo design.

17. The Mohawk Boys Haircut

We’ve had the fauxhawk, now it’s time we took a look at the real thing. While we agree it’s a tad difficult to pull this look off as an adult, there is no better time to do it than as a kid. Think about it – no boss, no office, no meetings, no banks. It’s perfect!

18. The Surfer Boys Haircut

This curly sun-kissed look is inspired by the lads down under. It’s a type of a perpetually-on-vacation surfer look, which is exactly what your kid kind of is, right? In fact, it’s a medium sized messy curly cut.

19. Flaming Curls

Let’s stay in the realm of curls for a moment longer with this smashing example of a shorter variation of the curled look. This dashing gentleman has more ringlets than he has curls, cut shorter and in a rounder shape. Oh, and we absolutely adore the color!

20. The Windswept Combover

This is a very trendy windswept combover boys haircut that will definitely inspire you for the summer season. While it might be a tad early for your little one to be sporting a Princeton jacket, you can bet this is what he’ll look like in 15 years, when he does.

21. Aloha from Cool Town

Here’s a toddler with a shaved side and an oversized one-sided set of bangs. All in sandy blonde. What could you possibly want more when it comes to having the coolest baby on the playground? Nothing, we suppose. You did your job, parents.

22. The 90s Spikes Boys Haircut

We could not have possibly made this list without including a blast from the past such as a short haircut with 90s spikes. Remember when all the boys were absolutely obsessed with putting their hair up in spikes using insane amounts of hair gel? We don’t actually know if your kid will be willing to do it, but it will be a fun family experience to try.

23. The Classic Short Boys Haircut

Speaking of blasts from the past, if you are on the more traditional side or are not so keen on the modern takes on haircuts, you can always keep to the classics. They have lasted so long for a reason, after all. Here is a very simple cut, that is guaranteed to make your little boy as happy as pie.

24. The Shaggy Chestnut Top Boys Haircut

If your superstar of a kid happens to have a lovely head of thick hair or an outstanding natural hair color, then there’s no reason to cut it. Let it grow longer in the front and style it in a shaggy mane that can flaunt his best assets.

25. The Beautiful Pompadour

There are pompadours and then there are beautiful pompadours. This haircut falls in the latter category. The perfectly combed strands of hair will stay in place all day with the help of some hair wax or a little hairspray.

26. The Choppy Long Artistic Boys Haircut

Remember the good old days when parents used to put a bowl over their kids’ heads and then cut around that? Neither do we. Because nowadays we have the amazing and one of a kind haircuts for them that can really stop traffic.

27. The Cheeky Boys Haircut

Remember that moment in Roald Dahl’s autobiography when, as a child, he put a mouse in one of the candy jars in the sweet shop to prank the mean woman who ran it? This kid looks like he’s about to do the same thing. Boys will be boys. Make sure to give them the haircut to match.

28. The High Top Boys Haircut

Here’s a little dandy fellow for you. He’s sporting a super cute and fluffy honey blonde high top haircut. It has been combed to one side for him, and it also looks a little windswept, which makes it even more charming.

29. The Rocker

If your little boy is showing signs of a major rocker star, then this is definitely the haircut for him. It has a unique flowing quality to it that will allow him to head bang away while he is listening to his favorite band.

30. The Romeo Beckham

As announced above, here is the second of the Beckham boys who made it onto our list. His good looks are undeniable, as he also made it into one of Burberry’s campaigns. Just look at that dark honey blonde hair!

31. The Classic Boarding School Teen Boys Haircut

We’re not saying you should send your little bundle of joy to boarding school. We’re merely suggesting that the haircuts they made famous are quite handsome. In the States, they go by the name ‘Ivy League haircuts.’ You can see why. Swoon…

32. Skaters and Undercuts

One of the most modern trends dictates that a good, long fringe goes perfectly well with a nice undercut. This is especially useful in the summertime when that pesky heat might affect your little one. Try it out and see how it goes.

33. At the Seaside

Here is a very relaxed and beautiful haircut which your little man can wear during the summer holiday. It’s a bit choppy, with uneven bangs and a messy top that allows the strands to fly in the wind out of their own accord. Just what he needs when he’s playing on the beach.

34. Mop Top Boys Haircut

One of the sweetest ideas you could go for hair wise for your little boy would be the mop top. The bangs are just long enough not to disturb his vision and you don’t have to get rid of his baby curls just yet.

35. The Scruffy Blonde Boys Haircut

Dress him up all you want, a pre-teen boy will always be a bit scruffy. It’s part of the job description, probably. Therefore, you might as well enjoy it with a beautiful haircut that will highlight his scruffiness as something wondrous to behold rather than to polish away.

36. The Comb Over with a Side Part for Toddlers

Who says toddlers can’t be just as fashionable as their older brothers or even as their dads? Here is a complete cutie pie after his bath with a hard part comb over on one side with a high fade and the beginning of his first pompadour. Daddy is so proud!

37. The Prince George

Now let’s talk a bit about some famous boys around the world. Here’s the future (future, future, actually) king of England, Prince George. He’s downright adorable with his sunny blonde hair, oh, so classical English side-part and forehead curls, and that mischievous grin! What is he up to in that palace?!?

38. The Home Alone Boys Haircut

When the movie came out back in the 90s, there probably wasn’t a boy around who didn’t want a haircut like Kevin’s. He was America’s smartest, coolest, and, let’s face it, the kid with the coldest blood we’ve ever seen. His haircut consists of a signature blonde hair, very sleek and shiny combed all over. Oh, and those 90s bangs, of course! Yikes!!

39. The Harry Potter

When speaking of famous boys haircuts, it would be quite impossible not to mention one of the – if not the most – famous boy in the world. The Boy Who Lived. The Chosen One. Harry Potter. He is described in the books as having messy jet black hair that stuck right up at the back no matter what he did to it. It was cut medium short. In the movies, he was portrayed in that sense by actor Daniel Radcliffe. It is really pointless now to try and explain how many times this haircut has been copied. Join the trend, won’t you?

40. The Ron Weasley

It seemed only fair, since we’re talking about famous boys haircuts and discussed Harry Potter at large, to take on his best friend as well, Mr. Ron Weasley. He also served as a massive source of hair inspiration for kids around the world. He has a mass of flaming red hair and his cut is undescriptive. We are safe to assume it’s medium and messy, though knowing Ron, his mother probably cut his hair for him. Adorable nonetheless.

41. The Justin Bieber

Another famous boy who took the world by storm was none other than Canadian-born Justin Bieber. His hair influenced millions around the world. Although he has had tens of different cuts over the years, we have chosen this simple boyish style in deep chestnut brown as inspiration for your teenager son.

42. Comme des Garcons Boys Haircut

No, we’re not talking about the Japanese fashion house. We’re merely stating a fashion trend for very trendy boys who are not afraid to embrace their dapper side. And make sure to reflect that not only in their clothes but in their haircuts as well.

43. Bangs and Soft Curls

There’s that short period when you try to pin a bow tie to their little shirt and it’s as big as their head. That’s when you can’t get enough of them and that’s also when their little bangs and soft curls are probably the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen in your life.

44. Summer Boys Haircut

Is there any way a toddler can be any cuter than he already is? Yes, with the proper haircut. You can do it yourself at home or you can opt for a very good barber or even stylist. In this way, your little one gets all the attention he deserves.

45. Boys Haircut for Long Hair

Another option which you can take is simply letting their hair grow out as much as you or they want. What do you think about this long hair for boys idea?
