It can be a daunting task to look at the many hairstyles for boys and choose the best. There are many things to consider for each unique individual. Fashion, cost convenience and maintenance, in addition to face shape and hairstyle are integral to deciding on a style to wear. For each boy has a hairstyle that can fit him the best.
This examination will cover the many concerns that one faces in finding the right cut. I will examine the concerns in detail and look closely at some of the most commonly used hairstyles for boys. Hopefully this information will help others make an informed haircut decision.
Considerations:
Fashion- Depending on what is in vogue, hair length and the connotations associated with such can be impacted by fashion.
Convenience - Certain cuts are more appropriate for those who want to minimize styling time. Also, some cuts can be carried out in the comfort of home, while others can require a visit to a more skilled technician.
Maintenance - The shorter the hair gets, often times the less maintenance is required. The one exception is with long hair that can be put easily into a ponytail. Medium lengths are the most time consuming, requiring frequent cuts and daily styling.
Cost - Maintaining a medium length cut with frequent trims and styling products can break the bank. Buzz cuts done by a parent cut out the barber costs and eliminate styling, and long hair also decreases spending.
Hair type - Many people with thick unruly hair like to wear it short. This goes to show that hair type enters into hairstyle decisions, because certain types work best with certain styles.
Face shape - Certain facial features work well with different cuts. High standing, spiky hair for example would be ideal for someone with a large forehead.
Different cuts:
Classic cut- This clean cut is layered on top, tapered down the back and sides, and short around the edges. A very easy look to take care of.
Buzz cut - This extremely short style can be done at home by a parent, and is simple, cheap and effortless to maintain.
Bowl cut - This common style uses a bowl placed on the head as a tool, cutting the hair the shows beneath the bowl. This cut is recommended for those who want a longer look on top.
Caesar cut - This look provides short bangs with about one to two inches in length. It can be achieved with the use of clippers, styling by combing the hair forward.
Afro - For individuals with tight curl to their hair, this is a very hip style. The appearance of this cut, which stands on the head, creates a circular shape.
Novelties - Some people even carve designs into their hair or use colored dyes in their look.
The wealth of information above makes in plain that there are many different considerations to look at when deciding on a boy's hairstyle. Face shape and type of hair are the first things that should be considered. The well-informed person can then examine the various cuts and choose the most appropriate. Hopefully these guidelines can help those in need of assistance.
