Every mother wants her beloved child to look stylish. Long gone are the days when boys were cut naked or “combed” - today more and more young teenagers prefer spectacular haircuts, thereby demonstrating good taste and personality. Stylists offer a wide selection of hairstyles for teens of the most diverse lifestyles, character and type of appearance.
Age-appropriate selection
Adolescence is a period of rapid formation of a child’s personality, during this period every slightest unfavorable external factor can deliver a lot of unpleasant experiences and even cause serious mental trauma. At this age, children try to impress others, which is why they begin to experiment with their appearance and, in particular, with hairstyles.
An inept haircut can cause taunts and ridicule from peers, which gives rise to many complexes, and until the strands grow back, the young man will be very worried. But a well-chosen hairstyle is capable of many things - it adds confidence to the child, helps to realize oneself as an adult, forms a favorable image among peers. The main thing is that adolescents get the opportunity to look at themselves from a new angle - and this is a very important step on the difficult path of self-acceptance.
At the age of 11-12 years, boys are gradually transforming from funny little boys who like to play toy soldiers, to guys with a bunch of pretty adult hobbies, including girls, which is why choosing a proper hairstyle is very important. However, when choosing, one must first of all be guided by the characteristics of the character of the boy himself, it is imperative to take into account the temperament of the teenager.
So, light waves and perfect smooth lines will not suit athletes and fidgets, but a sports hairstyle that allows you to try a variety of styling - this will be exactly what you need.
In addition, you can focus on many other factors.
- The length and density of hair. For example, on a short hair you can’t make a cascade, and on thin hair truly Canadian will look ridiculous.
- Features of appearance. For round faces, it is better to choose asymmetric haircuts. For square, it is worth giving an extra volume to the crown.
- Age of the child. So, for example, an Iroquois in a young man of 14-15 years old will be very effective, but for a 9-10-year-old boy he is completely useless.
- The difficulty of laying. Be sure to think about this question in advance. If the boy does not have the opportunity to style his haircut daily, then it is better to use less troublesome options.
Professionals today use the most advanced technologies, thanks to which the range of boyish haircuts has expanded significantly. In the current season, the main trend is the lack of any standards and pronounced contours.
Adolescents aged 10-14 have the right to decide for themselves how to design a dynamic and stylish model on their heads.
We take into account the shape of the face
The vast majority of parents, choosing a haircut for their child, are primarily guided by the requirements of practicality. This is not surprising - children move a lot and go in for sports, because short hair that does not require styling becomes the most suitable option for them. However, for adolescents aged 11-12 it is worth giving preference to more refined forms, and at 14 it is worth considering complex haircuts at all, since the spiritual development of a child at this age requires an indispensable external manifestation.
There are many interesting options for young men, and in order to choose the right one, you must first proceed from the shape of the face and features of the hair structure.
So, for young men with rounded faces, it is better to choose an option with a bang, or visually stretch your face with light asymmetry, a hat will also look very stylish.
For oval faces, you can choose any haircut, but keep in mind that in no case should it cause discomfort when playing sports and studying.
If the boy’s face is narrow, then it’s worth trying to make a bean that will give the facial features a certain roundness and softness.
For triangular shapes, an elongated square is suitable, a long oblique bang also looks good.
A square face must be softened with asymmetric strands, and for individuals with a trapezoidal shape, it is appropriate to create additional volume on the crown.
Do not forget about the features of the hair, for example, if the boy has thin hair, then keep in mind that they will not hold their shape well, therefore asymmetrical, multi-layer and graded haircuts will be optimal here, which will maximally mask defects in hair density.
Hard strands provide much more opportunities for creating stylish bows; here, a hedgehog, boxing and half-boxing, as well as a beaver, a Canadian and a platform, are not required to be laid.
A classic haircut with additional volume in the crown of the head in combination with short-cut temporal and occipital regions is the most versatile option that suits boys with any type of face and hair structure.
Many parents are sure that a boy with curly hair can be cut only briefly - this is a common misconception, wavy hair looks very stylish in sports hairstyles, effective on a wavy hair mohawk, as well as Spanish.
Style selection
Despite the abundance of individual factors that should be taken into account when choosing a hairstyle, there are leading trends that dictate their own fashion and their own rules.
The haircut of a modern teenager must certainly be multi-level, that is, shortened strands should be combined with long ones, even a typical hedgehog in a fashionable design is performed by a machine with 2-3 nozzles.
In a stylish hairstyle, there is always an asymmetry, usually torn edges are made out, and in trimmed locks they make sharp transitions, a combination of an elongated crown and shortened temples is popular.
Any self-respecting dude this season has a bang, the exception, perhaps, is only young men with a low any - flowing locks that cover half of their face are directly contraindicated.
Let us dwell in more detail on the most popular hairstyles for teenagers.
School
School haircuts should be short, practical, without defiant elements. The most popular are several options.
Caesar
Twelve-year-old boys are unlikely to be interested in classic hairstyles, they tend to be different from each other, so that the haircut fully reflects the boy’s inner sense of self and personality. Caesar is a great option, he is a little away from the classic canons of boyish haircuts, but at the same time fully corresponds to the style of the school dress code.
With this hairstyle, the length of the strands of hair is about 5 cm, they all lie certainly in the forward direction, certainly make out the bangs.
Such a hairstyle is laid very simply - you just need to comb your hair, and if they are thin and naughty, then you can additionally lubricate it with styling mousses.
Boxing
This is a fairly popular men's haircut, which is ideal for strong and courageous boys.
A characteristic feature of such a haircut is that here the shortest (no more than 3-4 cm) strands are located on the top of the head, there is a short-cut temporal part, and the nape is also shaved. This hairstyle is quite practical, it does not need any styling, and for its design you need only scissors, as well as a machine. The line of transition from shortened hairs in the nape to the highest point on the top of the head is either pronounced or smooth.
Haircuts are performed in several variations:
- classical - this technique is characterized by clipped whiskey, a short nape with a neat gradual transition to the crown region;
- simplified technique - then the whiskey and the back of the head are completely shaved;
- asymmetric haircut - suggests a rather pronounced transition from the back of the head to the crown of the head;
- boxing with bangs - there is a pronounced edging with a maximally elongated lock on the top, which goes into a stylish bang.
Boxing is in good harmony with both school and sports looks, so it is optimal for teenagers.
Boxing is a very versatile and simple haircut that does not require the use of any styling mousses: to get a stylish effect, just comb the bangs a little back or simply slightly tear the hair with your fingers.
Half box
Another popular option that looks a bit like boxing, but nevertheless has pronounced differences:
- the length of the strands with a half-box is 6-8 cm at the crown, while when cutting the box, it does not exceed 5 cm;
- the edging in both cases is different - when boxing, the transition between the individual strands is formed above the nape level, and in the semi-box, exactly in the nape region.
A half-box haircut is rather unpretentious in leaving, it looks good on young men of a dense physique.
Elongated bob
For shy and a little romantic boys with lean build, you can try the elongated bean.Particular attention should be paid to the bangs: this season, hairdressers recommend making it elongated, which makes it difficult to do homework and read, because with any tilt of the head, it begins to fall into the eyes and cause significant discomfort.
That is why for school-age boys it is better to dwell on options with a short bang.
Shaggy
In this case, strands of several lengths are sheared, and whiskey is left shaved. This model is optimal for too thick hair - it allows you to cut the hair without damaging the structure of the hairs. This option is optimal for adolescents 12-13 years old.
When laying, you should direct the locks so that they frame the face.
Low ground
A pad is a good option for thick and coarse hair. In all other cases, it is better to stay on a shortened version - in this case, the upper part is slightly reduced and a temporal grunge is created. Such a haircut is a very boy 10-13 years old.
Pot
The bow looks very good on voluminous and thick strands of medium length, only in this case both short lower curls and elongated upper ones will lie beautifully. But keep in mind that such a haircut should match the inner image of the boy. Most often, it is done by enthusiastic guys, and for sports and daring teenagers, such a hairstyle will be inappropriate.
But also keep in mind that caring for this haircut is a rather troublesome task, here an indispensable condition for maintaining a tidy appearance is to wash and style it frequently with a hairdryer.
Dima Bilan
This style of haircut, bearing the name of a famous Russian artist, came into fashion 10 years ago, but still has not lost its relevance. Strands from the parietal site are combed onto the forehead, after which they are aligned along the contour of the face, and longer strands are left in the back of the head.
The disadvantage of the hairstyle is that you will need to wash and style such hair daily.
Sports
For boys who lead an active lifestyle, for soccer players, wrestlers or tennis players, sports haircuts are suitable, they look stylish, but at the same time they do not interfere with the boys to conduct long trainings and participate in competitions.
Beaver
Such a haircut is very similar to a hedgehog, but in this case there is a small platform on the crown of the head, and the strands near the temples are slightly rounded. A haircut is the best suited for sports boys, because the bangs do not fit into the eyes, and in the summer heat with such a haircut it is not hot.
Beanie
Another good sporting option, which is preferred by young men with weakened and thin hair, and the hair can be either thick or curly. The technology of cutting involves a strong cutting of hair in the nape of the neck, and the crown and fragments of the temples are left a little longer.
Modern
On boys 10-12 years old, a short Canadian looks very stylish, some call this haircut “sharp locks”, in this design separate locks leave a relatively short length, so it will be much easier to stack them. This option is good for adolescents who have already begun to look after themselves, but do not yet have the skills of "communication" with foams and mousses.
This is a spectacular, but not the only option for modern haircuts for young men in their teens.
Iroquois
A bold and creative haircut. In its classic version, a haircut is quite radical and does not meet the common requirements for the appearance of a schoolboy, which is why many variations on the topic of fashionable spikes were invented for teenagers. For example, such options include a haircut with shaved temples, this trend has been at the peak of popularity for more than 3 years. In this case, the whiskey is completely shaved by the machine “to zero”, sometimes a pronounced gradient is formed when the strands are shortened to the bottom of the head as much as possible, and the above is made slightly longer. Thanks to this decision, teenage haircuts look very unusual.
Drawings on shaved areas look very stylish.Such creativity cannot be made a typewriter, so you will have to visit a hairdresser quite often to adjust the pattern. For boys 10-12 years old, they most often shave:
- flat or broken lines;
- all kinds of zigzags;
- check marks;
- spider web from temple to ear.
After 12 years, you can show a little more creativity, and create a teenager at the temples:
- ovals;
- lozenges;
- triangles
- cascading lines.
However, if desired, you can arrange any other fashionable stylish pattern.
At age 14, preference is given to more complex geometric patterns or individual images, for example, the heroes of your favorite computer game or comic book characters.
Undercut
This is a spectacular hairstyle that makes a real macho out of a young man. With this technique, whiskey and the back of the head are shaved, while the bangs and the crown, on the contrary, are made quite elongated. If desired, such a bang can be combed back and thereby change your appearance.
This style is very convenient for teenage boys, because the hair does not interfere, but it looks very strong. This is a universal haircut that goes to almost everyone, regardless of face type and hair structure. The only exception is the owners of triangular faces, since in this case the underscore can further emphasize the angularity of facial features. Well, in addition, the disadvantage of cutting should include the need for constant styling - here you must use wax or foam, otherwise it will not work to give the strands the desired direction.
Square
For boys with wavy hair, you can recommend a stylish modern bob, hairstyles with a short bang are especially relevant this season. In this case, the square itself is performed a little rounded, milled and form a straight or oblique parting.
Putting such a haircut in order is not difficult at all - you only need to wash your hair regularly and comb them thoroughly.
Cascade
Another effective option for teenagers with curly hair, this hairstyle is cut in several layers and allows you to do any styling, the hair is superimposed in the form of steps, after which the master mills them well.
Half
This is an unusual and truly creative haircut. In this case, the lower part of the head is shaved under the hedgehog, and the upper part along with the bangs remains elongated. However, keep in mind that before you get such a haircut, you need to properly grow hair.
Grunge
This hairstyle requires hair with a length of 5-10 cm, all the strands are usually combed forward and cut off one length. The hairstyle is ideal on straight locks, but even then it requires styling tools. By the way, grunge is considered an excellent option for teenagers with skin problems, because its falling strands partially cover the face, hiding many of its defects.
