Teen Boy Haircuts: 15 Cool + Popular Styles

By Rich Krafting

Updated:

Younger guys tend to go for cooler, trendier looks. These teen boy haircuts cover those bases and are also easy to style. You can look great without a lot of time to work on hair or money to spend on products. The key is to start with a haircut that works for your hair type and then styling is a breeze.

For the most part, young men have plenty of hair. Show it off with a cut that highlights thick hair while making it manageable. If you’re experiencing premature thinning, try one of these haircuts instead.

Most of these looks can be styled with a combination of air drying and a dab of product. Check out this pomade guide for recommendations that work for all hair types and budgets. This year’s men’s hairstyles are all about texture with a matte finish so look for hair products with those words.

This is an age where you can have fun with hair, whether you want to dye it a bold color, try a mohawk, or go for one of the latest men’s haircut trends. Now check out these 15 cool haircuts.
