While we are strong believers in letting the young ones choose the own adventures and decide on what hairstyle is right for them, there are pro’s and con’s to different hairstyles and some are better suited to the season than others.

Read on as we outline the best of the best for young boys on hot summer days.

‍

The Zero Fade

There are a few good reasons why the shorter spectrum of hairstyles are so popular for boys in the warmer months. They are fast drying, require easy or no styling and look good throughout the rough and tumble of the long days. A super short style, like a boxed up high fade, needs zero attention in the morning or after swimming and will keep them looking sharp as a razor all day long.

Textured

For a little more length up top, a choppy textured look is a great choice for the free spirited young lads and also requires little maintenance. A texturising powder, wax, clay or matte pomade can be worked through the hair for quick and easy styling. Suggest this hairstyle to complement their trouble free and easy going nature.

Z-Boys

Long hair doesn’t happen over night and the reward for all the time spent growing and maintaining that length comes full circle in summer. Think Z-boys and coastal vibes. Not heading to the coast? No worries, stop by the barbershop and grab some sea salt spray by Uppercut Deluxe or Grooming spray from Layrite, they’ll have beach curls and be looking like they just jumped out of the surf in no time at all. While not fast drying like a buzz cut, there is no parallel for the style in which the long locks ooze.
