Looking for a modern and easy-to-maintain haircut for a 12-year-old boy? Today I’m bringing you a good dose of hair inspiration. Below, you can discover the latest haircuts, whether it’s for a short, medium or long haircut.
Zoom in on the coolest hair solutions of the moment
Haircut for 12 year old boy
Generally speaking, layered haircuts (low, medium and high) are all the rage right now. In addition to contrasting haircuts, classic haircuts like the Mohawk, Pompadour or even the buzz cut continue to be in high demand among 10-12 year old boys. So, without wasting a second, let’s see below some hair ideas to consider.
A wide range of modern and low maintenance haircuts
Long curly top boy cut idea
Currently, contrasting haircuts are all the rage in the hair world. One such ideal suggestion to tame, for example, unruly and curly hair is to opt for a short haircut on the sides with more hair on top. The contrast gives a neat and chic look to the curls while visually compensating for their shrinkage.

Modern, Textured Undercut
For guys who appreciate stylish and modern looks with a disconnected and textured touch, here is a very cool and current option. It is the contemporary and structured undercut that in addition to its modern look does not require much maintenance. It is usually characterized by a short gradient on the back and sides. This is often combined with a more generous mass of hair and made with pointed cuts on the top of the head. It is, on the other hand, a fantastic variant to highlight thick hair.

Low fade boy cut
The low fade, also known as the “low fade” is certainly one of the hottest trends of the moment. As the Byrdie team confirms, the low fade is a “excellent choice for those who want to add structure and more interest to their look”.
Buzz cut: short haircut for boys
Short haircuts are another low-maintenance and practical option. The buzz cut, in particular, stands out as a classic choice. For a contemporary look, nothing is cooler than complementing it with a simple layered cut that contrasts slightly with the top.

Short Mohawk
And here is a modern update to a classic haircut, namely the Mohawk. A shorter version of the iconic haircut will give a bold and interesting edge to the look, without coming across as too loud and eccentric.
Shag with bangs: idea for a mid-length, layered boy’s cut
As popular hairstylist Tabatha Coffey explains, haircuts for 12-year-old boys “are meant to be synonymous with fun and freedom“. So, “Find the balance between simplicity and cool look”, advises the expert. With this in mind, a layered shag cut with bangs is a perfect variation for boys who like mid-length, easy-to-style haircuts.

Side parted quiff
A few weeks ago, I accompanied my bestie and her son (12 years old) to the salon. It was just a few days before his birthday and the little one wanted a modern, but refined and neat cut. So, in the end, we chose the quiff (a very popular cut according to his stylist) which is characterized by a slight thinning of the hair and combined with a side parting.
Boyish haircut trend: undercut fade at the back
Lately, cuts and hairstyles that are swept back are reliving their glory days. When it comes to boyish cuts, a modern and stylish undercut fade at the back is proving to be a very popular choice. Here again, we are talking about a cut that plays the card of stylish contrasts with these very short sides (almost shaved) and the top, voluminous and textured, at the back.
Boy’s haircut with line
Haircuts with lines continue to be in vogue among little boys, but also among teenagers. It is definitely an ideal option to stand out with a trendy and personalized cut. In combination with a modern gradient and why not, a tapered asymmetrical fringe, it is really cool.
