How to choose a hairstyle for teenage boys 16-17 years old?

At any age, a person seeks to be outwardly attractive. This adds to his confidence and allows him to feel free and comfortable in any situation. This is especially significant for adolescents, because it was during this period that the opinion of others about themselves and their appearance, in particular, is extremely important.

Now there are a large number of different hairstyle options for 16-17-year-old boys. When choosing a haircut, you need to consider many factors: these are the character traits and temperament features of the teenage boy, and the type of hair, and the shape of the face, and, of course, the purpose of the haircut:

• stand out against peers;
• to become like an idol: actor, musician, athlete;
• keep up with fashion;
• create a unique and inimitable image;
• Look neat and tidy.

To choose the right haircut, you must first consider the type of hair. For owners of thin hair, it is better to choose short haircuts that do not require styling: after all, thin hair is not able to maintain the shape of a hairstyle for a long time, since it lacks the necessary volume. Fine hair has great options.

• Low "platform". The hair on the parietal area is short and horizontally cut. Unlike the classic “pad”, the hair is cut short. The hairstyle is universal, easy to care for and very practical.

• Hedgehog with an increased top. A feature of the haircut is the presence of a long bang and a dense parietal zone. Strands can be combed forward, backward, sideways. At the same time, the hairstyle is easy to care for: it is enough to gently dry the hair and give the necessary shape to the comb.

• Undercut (undercut, "British") with a textured pattern. Whiskey and the back of the head are shaved with fancy patterns, due to which an additional volume is achieved on the forehead and crown. The hairstyle looks really stylish and original, but it requires special care.

• Iroquois with a ponytail. Although it is gradually dropping out of fashion, shaved whiskey and braided or ponytail hair add volume to thin hair.

Thick hair, unlike thin hair, retains its shape well, but due to its natural stiffness, it does not always keep styling. For holders of thick hair there are also options.

• Undercut (undercut, "British"). When creating a hairstyle, shaved whiskey and the nape smoothly transition to an elongated crown and bangs. The hairstyle is very convenient for schoolchildren: the hair does not interfere and does not close the eyes. Haircuts require care and constant styling with foam or gel.

• Half box. Unlike classic boxing, in this hairstyle, the hairline should be below the back of the head. This haircut makes a teenage boy courageous, adds simplicity and at the same time charisma to the image.

• "Under the pot." Looks best on medium length obedient hair. The name was not chosen by chance: the hairstyle really resembles a pot. The bangs should remain straight, the rest of the hair is cut along the perimeter of the head at the same level. The hairstyle is easy to care for, but requires constant adjustment.

• "Scallop" (mohawk). To create a hairstyle, you need to completely shave the sides and leave elongated locks on the back of the head and crown. Those boys who are not afraid to stand out or seem somewhat old-fashioned will feel comfortable in this way.

• "Grunge". All strands are combed forward and made the same length. This haircut requires special care and is suitable for romantic boys. In addition, the long bangs will help hide skin imperfections, which is very important for a teenager.

• Extra long bean. The peculiarity of the hairstyle is an elongated bang to the eyebrows and voluminous nape and crown. The hairstyle looks very unusual and, like the “grunge”, suits romantic people.

Owners of medium-thick hair should pay attention to other hairstyles.

• "Caesar". The bangs are combed forward, covering the forehead by about one third. There are two types of haircuts: with a transition (hair length in the temporal and occipital parts smoothly decreases) and without a transition (hair remains the same length).

• Tangled hair up. The hair on the sides is trimmed to 1-2 cm, and the maximum length is left at the top. The hairstyle looks very natural, but requires careful care and is suitable for older boys.

However, there are men's hairstyles that look equally good on both thick and deprived hair.

• "Platform" (aka "platform"). Hairstyle involves a short-cropped nape and side parts, the upper part should be trimmed strictly horizontally. The direction of the hair is up. The hairstyle is unique and concise in its own way, combining softness and strength.

• Boxing. This haircut goes to almost all boys, it is universal and appropriate in any circumstances. The hair is cut short from the sides and from the back of the head, while the hair line remains above the back of the head. What is important, the hairstyle does not require frequent shampooing and is extremely easy to care for.

• "Canadian". Versatile and incredibly comfortable hairstyle. Short-cut back, on the temples and on the sides of the hair is combined with voluminous elongated strands on the forehead and crown. Hairstyle, of course, adds style and sophistication to the image as a whole.

To make the hairstyle harmonious and natural, you must also take into account the shape of the face. The most common types are: oval, round, triangular, heart-shaped, square and diamond-shaped types.

• Oval type involves a smooth narrowing of the face in the direction from the forehead to the chin. The jaw line is already the forehead line, and the cheekbones are clearly pronounced. Holders of an oval type of face are suitable for short haircuts. So that it does not seem round, it is necessary to remove the hair back or comb the bangs to open the forehead. The following variations are suitable for a teenage boy: “British”, “Canadian”, boxing, semi-boxing.

• At a young man with round face broad cheekbones, narrow jaw, and the face is the same in length and width. Therefore, the hairstyle that the young man chooses should clearly outline the vertical and horizontal lines, due to which an illusion of angles will be created. Short bangs should be avoided; asymmetries must be created to create contrast. The choice should be the following hairstyles: "British", "Canadian", "Quiff" (a variation of the Iroquois).

• Triangular face differs from others by a narrow chin, wide forehead and cheekbones. For this type of face, it is difficult to choose the right hairstyle. Teenagers should pay attention to short haircuts that emphasize the line of the chin. An excellent find - hair pulled to one side. Different options are suitable for triangular faces: elongated caret, underker, "Canadian", "quiff", haircuts with a comb to the left / right, haircuts with a bang. The classic square will emphasize the triangularity of the face, it should be avoided.

• Heart type face - a variation of a triangular, but his chin is sharper and his cheekbones softer and wider. Young men should choose hairstyles that gently frame their faces.

• At square type the teenager has a symmetrical face. The young man has a low forehead, a clear, pronounced jaw line, while the cheekbones are quite wide. He can safely experiment and choose extraordinary hairstyles. Short haircuts and bangs are suitable for him: they will make the face more attractive.

• Owners diamond type have a wide line of cheekbones, narrow forehead and chin. Young men need to balance proportions: make the chin and forehead visually wider. It is worth choosing step haircuts, do not shorten the hair on the sides. Hairstyles with long hair will look great: they will smooth sharp corners.

You can revive any hairstyle if you turn on the imagination and add a little imagination. The familiar classic boxing and semi-boxing turns into an original hairstyle, if only the master shaves an intricate pattern on the temporal lobe. You can experiment with parting: make it straight, oblique, zigzag. In Canada, you can do a pile, or you can let your hair go and tie its tail. Strands can be made torn, and bangs - oblique.

Hairstyle should reflect the inner world of a person, and if you want changes and radical changes, then adolescence is an ideal time for experimentation. Do not categorically forbid the boy to choose one or another hairstyle, even if she does not suit him. The main thing that a teenager must learn is that any, even the most fashionable and stylish hairstyle will not adorn him if he does not care for his hair - daily wash, comb thoroughly, if necessary, style, go to the hairdresser in time.

• Hairstyle "Canadian". Sophisticated and stylish, it will certainly add self-confidence to its owner. The hair is combed to the right, which gives a graceful asymmetry.

• "Grunge" - a bold and bright hairstyle, its carelessness and lightness emphasize individuality, helps to stand out and feel much more confident.
