10 Coolest Curly Haircut Ideas for Boys
By Jemima Price · Updated October 10, 2024

Finding the perfect curly haircut for your boys can seem like a minefield to parents, but curls can be super versatile and can help you achieve all sorts of trends! Whether your child wants to grow out their curls, coils, and waves or keep them short and low maintenance, we have a range of curly boys haircut ideas to help you decide!

1. Frohawk with a temple fade

We kick off with a statement cut. The frohawk allows curls to grow freely on top but gives your little boy the freedom of not worrying about it in his face by keeping the sides short with a fade at the temple.

2. Long Loose Curls

This cut for medium to long curly hair is great for looser ringlets. Ask for chin length all over with some shorter face-framing tendrils for bangs.

3. Full Natural Afro

Rocking their natural hair is important for curly kids but if they want to give it a little edge, a sharp line-up and temple fade can do just that. Ask your stylist for a distinct line with sharp angles cut into your hair, which can highlight the eyes. This cut will require more maintenance to keep the line-up sharp.

10. Wavy Caesar

The Caesar cut is created by cutting the same hair length all around the head with a blunt fringe. It can work on short curls or with a longer length all-over or simply a longer fringe. The Wavy Caesar is fantastic because the cut can be done on tight curls and loose waves.
