Little Boy Haircuts + Hairstyles For Toddler Boys

By Rich Krafting

Whether your little one started off with a full head of hair or it took months to grow in, the time for little boy haircuts sneaks up on you.

Just like clothes, have fun exercising your parental taste while you can. Haircuts for boys can be trendy or classic, short or long, sweet or cool. All of these cuts work with the various hair types boys can have, from fine to thick and straight to curly.

It can be tough to find a trustworthy place for boy’s haircuts. Getting recommendations from other parents is a great place to start. Knowing your kid is another important factor. Those kids haircut places with cars to sit in and screens everywhere won’t usually give you the most stylish and trendy looks but they get the job done quickly and have experience working with kids.

Many barbers and salons welcome children as well. While they are likely to give a better haircut, it often takes longer and the environment may or may not be kid-friendly.

Now on to 13 of the cutest haircuts for little boys and toddlers.
