Haircuts? What? With so many boys wanting to keep their length, it can be hard to think about visiting the barber. But right now is actually one of the best times to find a good selection of versatile styles that manage the madness.
If you love sleek minimalism combined with natural texture, you might like these. I have always loved clean, smart styles, and a temp fade or distinct part makes a good blank canvas for showing off those curls without them taking over.
1. Undercut with Curly Fringes
I love that fringes come in so many different styles depending on how long your hair is.
Pairing a noticeable fringe with a cute undercut gives off such a cool, rockstar vibe. Plus, if you’re dealing with a receding hairline, the top hair and fringe act as the perfect cover-up!
2. Undercut + Medium Wavy Top
While two-tone styles are super cute, they aren’t always the most professional choice.
If you are on the hunt for a curly cut with an undercut that still feels formal enough for any occasion, this is your best bet (and it looks insanely adorable, too).
3. Bald Fade Afro
If you need a haircut that lasts a long time before looking rough, a skin or bald fade works excellently.
I love that it grows out into a unique faded look that is nearly impossible to replicate at a salon.
4. Temp Fade
There is something simply adorable about letting the top of your hair grow out in its natural curly pattern.
You can tell this cut has grown out a bit in the photo, but I can only imagine how amazing it looked when it was freshly cut.
5. Skin Fade Fauxhawk For Curly Hair
Aside from the curly top, the maintenance on this one is actually pretty simple.
I’d recommend dabbing some oil on the bare areas to keep them shiny and brushing the fade regularly to maintain that near-perfect look.
6. Two-Tone + Top Mohawk
Highlights are an easy way to make any haircut look outstanding.
I love that this looks fabulous with the blonde highlights on the mohawk, regardless of whether you have a beard or not.
7. Fade Undercut + Path
I love that this undercut leaves enough hair on top to give you plenty of versatility.
But if you’re looking for a wash-and-go vibe, this is probably a no-go since the top and parting need regular maintenance.
8. Skin Fade + Side Color Line
If you don’t mind mixing things up with some color, this style definitely works.
I’ll admit it’s a bit demanding on the maintenance side, but the look is totally worth it.
9. Temp Fade for Kids with Curly Hair
I fell in love with this temp fade the moment I saw it.
Just looking at the shape up and sideburns, you can tell the stylist did a neat job, and the short top means maintenance won’t be a hassle.
10. Mid Bald Fade
Because of the top, this hairstyle will require some regular moisturization and care.
However, the bald fade is so low maintenance that you can basically forget about it until you need a trim.
11. Curly Hair Textured Fro Undercut
You can really see the power of curl-enhancing gel at work here.
I love how the temp fade and sharp shape up make this style look strikingly youthful—it’s easily a 10 out of 10 in my book.
12. Short Top + Curly Fade
If you want a low-maintenance haircut, I’d definitely consider this one.
Since the top isn’t long, you can’t tweak it much, but it’s certainly an easy style to manage.
13. Bald Fade Fauxhawk
I know fringes are usually seen on women, but this cut proves they look pretty cool on guys too.
Pairing it with a bald fauxhawk adds such a hot, youthful look that makes it perfect for hiding a receding hairline.
14. Colored Fauxhawk
I think adding a second color is such a stylish way to wear a fauxhawk.
Using hair spray is an easy way to achieve that brown hue, though dye is obviously a more permanent solution.
15. Skin Fade Undercut
This bald fade undercut is such a creative way to style your hair if it lacks volume.
The curly fringe adds a bouncy effect that makes the style look both voluminous and chic.
16. Afro Curl
I’m a firm believer that this style isn’t just for teenagers; men with curly hair can totally rock it without looking childish.
I’d personally go for a low cut on the sides to keep it looking refined. Any decent barber should be able to handle the fade by trimming upwards on a low setting.
17. Smooth Undercut Mohawk
You’ll want to make sure you can wear this style in your environment before committing to it.
I know some schools and workplaces aren’t super receptive to Mohawks, so it’s always good to check the rules first.
18. High Skin Fade + Disconnected Top
Disconnecting the top and adding brown highlights was always going to look good, but I didn’t expect it to look this good.
Just remember to give the temp fade a periodic trim to keep it looking perfect.
19. Curly High Fade
Moisturization is absolutely key to maintaining this kind of curly hair.
The maintenance is repetitive, but from the looks of it, it is completely worthwhile.
20. Sponge Sides + High Volume Top
It’s hard to say whether this is for men or boys, so you can decide for yourself.
All I know is that this haircut can work for anyone, regardless of their age.
21. Frohawk Cut
This mix of an Afro and a Mohawk looks absolutely adorable. It’s clearly not fresh from the barber in this photo, but it still looks incredibly charming to me.
22. Temp Fade
If you have voluminous hair, I’d definitely consider trying this style.
Most guys can’t replicate it naturally, but with some creativity and products, it doesn’t look half bad.
23. Messy Top Mohawk
If your hair looks like this after a wash, I’d grab a curly enhancing smoothie for the top.
Use a hairbrush to shine and smooth the sides and back for a polished finish.
24. Medium Top + UnderCut
I love that this type of curl doesn’t need much pampering.
A regular routine of washing and moisturizing is really enough to keep it looking good.
