8 On-Trend Summer Haircuts & Styles for Boys

Dapper Dollop

I've loved this hairstyle for years. It's so dapper, easy, and handsome! Ask for a cut that's super tailored all over, but request that the bangs be kept long. Lift the front easily with Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturing Sea Salt Spray at Ulta ($6.19) and combing hair upward. Image via OmaMiMini.com
Side Slick

This style is so debonaire! I love the Old Hollywood feel. Slick hair to the side with water or some styling gel, and set with a light hold spray like this Finishing Mist by Hot Tot ($16.50). Image via My 4 Misters and Their Sister's DIY boy's haircut tutorial
Textured and Fun

Texture My Way Keep It Curly Ultra Defining Curl Pudding at Pharmapacks ($5.99) is great for keeping textured hair groomed and frizz free. This style allows for playful curls and natural bounce to roam free. Image via American Apparel
Faux Hawk

This style is just too cool to ever go away. Boys love its harder edge and moms love the styling ease. Use Hot Tot's Styling Gel ($16.50) to create some easy spikes, without flakes. The best part of all is that this style can easily be combed to the side for a sweeter look. Image via Rockaboy.com
Buzzed Flair

A clipper cut is great for warm weather (especially when vacationing) and if your son's hair grows fast! This type of cut adds a little flair to the typical buzz cut, allowing for definition in the front by flicking strands with pomade, gel, or this amazing Structure Whip by Hot Tot ($19.50). This style also works sans product. A great cut for getting out the door in a jiffy; this works especially great on pin-straight hair. image via HeavenlyHomemakers clipper haircut tutorial
Model Inspired

This look is chic and sophisticated. It's long, yet tapered, allowing for loads of styling options. Keep the cut polished by grooming around the ears and neckline. Try Wella Ocean Spray via Amazon ($8.99) for creating this naturally tousled, yet sleek vibe. image via Getty/Mike Marsland
Handsome Curls

Boys with curls are the cutest thing. This Sweet Pea Curl Serum, again by Hot Tot ($16.00), lifts and defines ringlets and waves. Play up your boy's curls...now that he lets you! Image via Getty/John Perra
Short 'n' Spiky

SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Gel ($9.79) at Drugstore.com is fantastic for quickly spiking up your little dude's hair. Tell your hairdresser the direction your son likes his hair spiked in so the cut can be tailored for him. Image via Gap.com
