For a long time, there was an opinion in society that it was enough for a boy to look tidy. All other thoughts about the appearance were considered almost a deviation. This trend has now changed. And this is pleasing, since it is in childhood that it is important to lay the foundations of self-care, to help the boy develop a sense of style and the ability to express his personality - including in his hair.
Features
In fact, the exact age when the boys think about their appearance has not been established. But if you notice how the child examines himself in the mirror or gazes closely at others, talk to him.
It is important not only to teach him to use a comb and monitor the cleanliness of his head, but also to correctly understand his desires.
This is greatly influenced by:
- First experience;
- example of parents;
- age;
- the opinion of others.
Many children are afraid to get a haircut. The sight of the tools or the sound of the clipper on is causing them panic. Therefore, it is important to create a favorable atmosphere for the first haircut. Explain that it is fun, show an example or go to the children's hairdresser. If fear has already been formed, getting rid of it will be more difficult. Here the example shown by the parents is no less important.
If dad, and other relatives do not take care of themselves and consider this normal, it is very likely that the child’s reaction will be the same.
In general, three groups can be distinguished: up to 7 years; 7-11 years old and 12-17 years old. In each of these groups, their needs come first. In Russia it is customary for the first time to cut children closer to a year. In fact, this date is not justified by anything other than superstition.The optimal age for the first haircut is when the child can understand why this is done, but rather he will express his desire. Usually it appears when the child begins to draw on the opinions of others. Even in kindergarten, children discuss their hairstyles. Moreover, the boys are not far behind the girls. At first, children most often want to be like adults. In adolescence, the opposite is true. Sometimes the desire to stand out and express oneself is mixed in here. Therefore, the selected options are more than extravagant.
Varieties
At any age, it is important that the child has a choice, and for this it is important to ask an opinion, show him options, discuss their pros and cons.
Little dragon
Everyone saw this haircut. Its characteristic feature is the longer parietal and occipital part of the hair. Moreover, the hair on the side may be absent at all or be short. The main thing is that the difference is as tangible as possible. Very often, several longer strands are left behind - a sort of “tail”. The remaining hair can be lifted, combed back or in any direction. The advantages of this haircut include:
- attractiveness - few children refuse such an option;
- comfort when writing or reading - due to the lack of side strands;
- variability, the bulk of the hair can be styled in different ways, and from the sides often make drawings, usually the central part is highlighted with lines or dragon feet are made to fully justify the name of the hairstyle.
The issue of negligence can be called controversial. On the one hand, this haircut allows slight negligence. On the other hand - everything is good in moderation. And frankly untidy hair will repel.
Boxing
Unlike the previous haircut, in this case the nape will be open. And the hair length in the upper part is less - up to three centimeters. A characteristic feature of this particular hairstyle is a clear border. It is unlikely that it will be possible to hide anything with its help (even trifles like problem skin or dandruff). And with curly hair the look will be peculiar. But a square or round face stretches out.
Boxing should not be confused with another subspecies - the semi-box. In form, these varieties of hairstyles are similar, but the upper part of a half-box can be longer. Yes, and the border moves from the top of the head, and the sharp section turns into a smooth one. Boxing is more practical - washing your hair with it is quite simple, you do not need to style it, and most of the boys do not even comb. But any millimeters of regrown hair can ruin the whole look. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly maintain shape. The semi-box in this regard is less demanding. But the comb and styling should always be at hand.
Iroquois
To express a strong character and fighting spirit, you can make a mohawk. Its feature in all variations is a clearly defined strip of hair with the same width from the crown to the neck. In the classic version, all other hair is shaved. For boys, to soften the effect a little, you can leave a small length on the sides. Here are some options.
- The Iroquois does not have to be tall. The main thing is to remember about clear boundaries.
- Any Iroquois may have a more noticeable bang.
- The side parts can be simply smooth or with a pattern.
- You can highlight the central part with the help of color. This option can be called youth, since it is at this age that experiments with staining begin. For very young people, there are special crayons for hair or tinting products with a temporary effect. For little boys there is also a temporary version of the Iroquois. To do this, if length allows, the hair in the center should be fixed in an upright position. And the rest should be combed and smoothed.
The higher the central part, the more difficult it is to lay, even the drying process requires skills.
Bean
A bob haircut can be called universal - it suits both boys and girls.Just longer options (for medium hair) are used mainly by adolescents. And for schoolchildren, a short bean is more suitable. The front strands of this hairstyle can reach eye level. The strands are trimmed behind so that the neck is ajar. This is ideal for thin hair. Moreover, to create the volume does not need complex actions - after drying, the hair should lie as it should.
In the classic version, the lower section of the hair should be smooth and as dense as possible. In modern design, graduation is of great importance - it can be smooth or stepwise. At the peak of popularity, a bean with a short nape and elongation to the face. A mandatory addition to such a haircut is a bang. It happens:
- straight or beveled;
- thick or light (torn, milled, elongated).
In the asymmetric bean model, it is the latter option that is used. It is a kind of transitional element from one side to the other. Complaints are caused by bangs and lengthening of the side strands in the eye area.
When a child leans over a table or book, they limit their vision and create a shadow. If you choose a bean - pay attention to a more practical bang.
Caesar
The haircut of the same name with the Roman commander is distinguished by accuracy and accuracy. For its implementation, you need a good master, taking into account all the features of the face and structure of the head. Since there are also several subspecies, styling of the option with longer hair also needs to be tried. Perhaps this is one of the few haircuts that is suitable exclusively for straight hair. A distinctive feature is a dense straight bang. It can be slightly raised or smooth. A hairstyle has two varieties:
- with a clear silhouette;
- with a blurry transition from the crown of the head.
Both that, and another look rather stylishly, but are created for different types. Maybe the Caesar haircut will seem to someone too adult and too courageous, then you can try to soften the lines a little - the impression will immediately change.
Under the pot
Another classic haircut that has not lost its position for a single decade. Moreover, modern interpretations practically did not change it:
- all the same round shape remained, similar to a pot that served as templates for the first haircuts in that spirit;
- preference is given to straight hair, as it is they that give a larger volume and will lie as they should;
- Ideally, the length should be the same on all sides, and if graduation is done from the back, an even “cap” will not work.
According to the classical canons, it is believed that a haircut under the pot is more suitable for blondes and it is at an early, preschool age. So the appearance of the child will be truly angelic. At an older age, children rarely choose it, unless in exceptional cases - if you need to hide flaws (for example, to adjust the shape of the head or mask acne on the forehead).
Undercut
Another haircut that is worth adopting is the undercut. That's what makes her remarkable.
- A large, rounded zone from the forehead to the crown stands out in it. To create the proper effect, its length can reach 10 centimeters.
- The rest of the space can be trimmed to one level or with a small transition down. On it you can make a border or shave a pattern.
- Usually the hair from the forehead is combed towards the back of the head and less often, slightly to the side.
- Correction is required only in the occipital and temporal areas. Moreover, it is quite possible to do it yourself.
- The upper part can be safely grown, and upon reaching a sufficient length - to collect in the tail. Another, quite bold option, is a pigtail.
Despite all the advantages, the child must be prepared for certain difficulties. The process of growing hair can take quite a while. At this time, you need to take care of their fixation so that the locks do not hang on the face and do not interfere.
Fashion trends
You can return to the classics at any time.But it is always interesting - what is really fashionable right now. Much has been said about individual model hairstyles. And if you consider fashion in general, you can formulate several nuances that need to be kept in mind. All kinds of extensions are in fashion. And no matter where - on the back of the head or on the forehead. They do not lose relevance despite the increased requirements for care and growing.
Also, much attention is now being paid to decorating a hairstyle - to fringing it and to shaving all kinds of patterns in free areas. It can be lightning, straight lines near the parting, patterns, logos. To be in trend - choose asymmetry. Due to the mixing of different lengths and textures, it is she who has the greatest number of styling options. The creation of modern boyish haircuts has a completely different approach. The haircut should be multi-layered and complex. You can take completely different hairstyles, choose from them what you like and get a unique option.
How to choose?
Depending on the age of the boy, the choice may be affected by:
- appearance;
- ability to independently maintain a hairstyle in order;
- character;
- activities of the child.
When choosing a hairstyle, you need to consider the shape of the forehead and ears, the proportions of the head and neck. But to imagine this or that option is difficult, except with the help of special programs. In childhood, you can and should experiment. Much more depends on the skills of the child. If a boy can notice a mess in his hair in time or make his own styling before school, you can choose a more difficult option.
A hairstyle can express a child’s personality without words. Therefore, a moving, active visionary should not impose a classic, smooth hairstyle. Much depends on the occupation. A football player needs a sporty and practical haircut. Long haircuts with elegant styling - a good option for a boy to ballroom dancing.
For a child involved in modeling or robotics, hairstyles with bangs will only interfere, but a model with a ponytail is quite relevant.
How to stack?
The result after visiting the hairdresser is quite decent. Difficulties arise when the same haircut needs to be re-styled, only at home. Therefore, all questions of interest should be asked directly in the salon. The most common option is laying a hedgehog. And it is done very simply: you need to moisten your hair, and then dry it by helping yourself with your hands so that you get needle locks.
To keep the styling for a long time, you can use styling products - foams or gels. Some cosmetic brands have series for children made from natural ingredients. All funds must first be tested for allergies. The same gel or mousse can be used if you need a smooth styling - for example, put your hair back or to the side. Typically, most products have a fix function.
Make volumetric styling is also easy. First, prepare a hair dryer and brush - its teeth should not be scratched and cause discomfort to the child. If you blow dry your hair the first time, let the boy get comfortable. Turn the device on and off, direct air to his hand - the temperature should be comfortable. The necessary strands should be lifted from the roots and dried.
For the convenience of working with short hair, the teeth at the brush should be short.
Sometimes it is necessary that individual strands lie strictly in accordance with your idea - carelessly, elegantly or accurately. For this, you should take more effective styling products - for example, wax. It can be recommended by teens. Everyday styling is best done without any means. For curly hair, all the rules are the same. In order not to break the curls and curls, the comb should be rare. A hairdryer is optional. But to lay the curls in the right direction is better when wet.So that they do not get confused and easy to comb, there is a special children's spray.
Beautiful examples
It’s hard to call a child ugly. Perhaps this is embedded in the subconscious. Most likely, in relation to children, a synonym for ugliness is untidiness. Therefore, a happy, well-groomed baby with a neat haircut will always look cute and attractive.
Very often, with adult hairstyles, children look unnatural. In everyday life, absolutely all the boys are perky, and sometimes funny styling.
Sometimes with the help of creative ideas, even an adult haircut can be styled vividly and in accordance with age. The same shaved drawings have many motifs that are suitable for young boys.
For older boys, you can choose a more unusual model. Here you can play endlessly with long hair, their color and shape, invent new unique styling options.
With a cool haircut, any guy will feel confident.
A well-chosen haircut with the right styling will always look stylish. The same hairstyle can be styled with a different mood. A striking example is the creation of light negligence on a classic hairstyle. Accessories will help complement the look - for example, glasses or a scarf.
