Best hairstyles for boys in 2022

Your son has a beautiful head of hair, but how do you give him the look he wants? To help you with that I will talk about a few hairstyles for boys in 2022 that work well.

The undercut

This hairstyle is very popular with boys and teenagers. The sides are pretty short and the hair on top is significantly longer. That way your son or little brother can get a cool quiff or choose a more messy hairstyle.

The cool version

A great variation on this hairstyle is that you can do a hard-part (a little shaved line). That definitely gives this look more of an edge.

To keep this hairstyle styled, you can use a hair paste or pomade to define the quiff a bit more or do comb it a bit more to the side. A pomade dries in a little bit, so the hair stays put and a paste keeps it more flexible.

If your son or little brother wants to keep it a bit more messy, you can also try a hair tonic.

An example of a great hair paste is the Blumaan Monarch Matte Paste. It is a light product that provides a good hold and a matte finish.

Blumaan Monarch Matte Paste is very versatile, because you can use it for messy and out-of-bed looks, but also for more classic styles, like a quiff. This paste is easy to apply and it does not pull on your hair. It is also easy to wash out again.

Long pompadour with fade

Does your boy or little brother has slightly wavy hair? Then you could try a longer pompadour as well. The hair on the sides and back is shorter, but the hair on top is pretty long. You can easily comb it to the side or create a pompadour. Some hair spray will keep it in place.

The cool version

When you really want to go for the cool version, you can keep the hair on the sides real short and have the hair on top longer without blending it. That is basically a disconnected undercut with a more drastic contrast compared to the regular hairstyle for boys.

To style this great hairstyle, I would recommend a strong pomade with some shine.

When the hair is longer, it is best to comb or brush your hair before going to bed, because you do not want the hair to get entangled.

An example of a great pomade for this 2022 boys hairstyle, is the Uppercut Deluxe Pomade. This pomade is perfect for classic looks, like pompadours, slick-backs and side-parts. The Uppercut Pomade provides a high hold and a semi-shiny finish.

Even though it has a high hold, it is not stiff and it does not cause flaking. This pomade can be used in all hair types up to a medium length. And this product is water based, so you can easily wash it out with warm water. Is that not convenient?

Faux Hawk hairstyle for boys

Does your son or little brother wants to do his hair fast and without too much trouble in the morning? Then a faux hawk could be a great hairstyle to consider in 2022. In this case the sides are a bit shorter and possible faded. The hair on top you comb more to the front with your fingers. Then the forehead looks a little bit smaller and you can not see the exact hairline anymore.

By combing it to the front and more your hands a bit, you can easily great texture. It results in a loose hairstyle with texture and a matte finish.

The cool version

Comb the hair to the front and create almost a jellyroll kind of look, like in the movie Grease. More edgy and classic than a regular faux hawk.

When you want to style this kind of hair, you can use a hair tonic or a light pomade.

A great hair tonic to consider for this look is the Reuzel Grooming Tonic. It is created by famous barbers from Rotterdam, The Netherlands. You can also use it as a pre-styler by applying it in damp hair and blow-drying the hair. This product provides a light hold and a subtle shine. The hair becomes thicker and gets more volume. This hair tonic is water based, so you can wash it out with just warm water.

Medium length boys hairstyle

When boys have slightly longer hair, they can style their medium length hair to get a surfer-dude kind of look. Every boy or teenager will be able to get this kind of look when you layer it. It does not matter if they have straight, wavy or curly hair.

The cool version

You can apply a sea salt spray to create more volume and some kind of beach boy look. Relaxed man! When your son or little brother has thin hair, you can also consider applying a sea salt mousse after showering to create more volume with a blow-dryer.

A sea salt spray to consider for this is the Dapper Dan Sea Salt Spray. It provides more volume and makes the hair appear thicker. When you apply it in dry hair, then you will get great texture and a matte finish.

Dapper Dan Sea Salt Spray can also be applied in damp hair, so you can blow-dry it afterwards. That way you will get the most volume and texture. The formula does not contain any parabens and it has a nice sandalwood scent.

Mohawk hairstyle for boys

The mohawk is a hairstyle that is for very bad-ass boys and teenagers, because you are going to get some looks. The hair on the sides is slightly shorter and has a fade usually.

Then you can great the mohawk on top. You can create many varieties of this hairstyle that might be less extreme and more for every day looks.

Nowadays the mohawk is not necessarily the most progressive and modern look, but it is a golden oldie.

The even cooler version

In that case you keep the hair on the sides very short and create a skin fade. The hair on the sides does not blend with the hair on top, so you basically create a disconnected undercut.

To style a mohawk you will need a very strong hair product, like a strong hair gel for example.
