It doesn’t take long for men’s hair trends to be seen on kids. Whether boys want to look like their father, older brother or favorite sports star, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. In this guide, we look at the latest boy’s fade haircuts to try out.
Fade haircuts are one of the most popular styles for men because they are stylish, flattering and versatile. Fades transition hair from short to shorter or all the way down to the skin. The fade can start up high on the head above the temples, down low above the hairline or somewhere in the middle.
Fades are only at the sides the back. On top, hair can be short or long, flat or spiky, straight or curly. A fade makes any cut easier to wear and look great.
Some of these haircuts for boys are longer or require styling. For more complicated cuts, let kids choose hair for themselves to ensure that they embrace the look, drying time, and styling requirements. Some guys want to put in the work to be dapper while others want a wash-and-wear cut.
Check out all these different ways to wear boys fade haircuts, from toddlers to teens and for every hair type.
