Popular boys haircuts include the bowl cut, the page boy haircut, the bob and the long, layered feathered cut. The bowl cut originated in the Great Depression, when parents would literally put a large bowl over a boy’s head and cut the hair underneath. You needn’t use a bowl, but you can create a bowl cut simply by leaving a circle of longer hair on top and making the bottom more narrow.
Boys’ haircuts tend to be simple and no-nonsense, and many can be done at home with a pair of hair cutting scissors, or in some cases, even a bowl. Many parents prefer to take their sons to salons for stylish boy haircuts, while others prefer an easy-to-cut style Mom or dad can do.
Many people wonder when to start cutting their son’s hair, and which boys’ haircuts are the best for very young boys. Some cultures encourage parents to let their child’s hair grow until the toddler years. Up until the middle of the twentieth century, it was not uncommon to see young boys with long curly locks and dresses in aristocratic society.
