For boys younger than 13 years old hairstyles tend to be something that is a chore rather than a want and this will, in general, make your job as a parent somewhat easier as you can pick a hairstyle for them which is easier to maintain.
There are three general styles (with some variations available within each of these) suitable for younger boys which include the following: Crew cut or spike, comb down and the side sweep. You will want to take into consideration the length of your boy’s hair, how much time you will spend maintaining the style and the type of lifestyle your child lives before deciding on which one will be appropriate for them – remember you can always talk to your hairdresser about which is best for your child.
