19. Red Top
If your kid is a bit older, you can try a bit of hair coloring. If only for the summer, this can work as a cool way for them to express themselves, especially during school holidays.

20. Side Style
Since everyone loves these hair styles where the hair is cut shorter on the sides, it’s a perfect time to try out a few stripes.

How to Do a Boy Haircut?
Even if you screw up, it grows back. I think it’s only fair to start by saying this. So as long as you understand that it takes time to practice … you’re good to go. You could be one of the lucky ones and nail it from the beginning, which would be great. But more often than not, you’ll need to trial and error a few times before it’s perfect.
So the answer to “How to doa boy haircut”, if you’re not a hairstylist, just get your scissors in and … cut.
A piece of personal advice after being my son’s personal hairstylist for the last many months — use a haircut kit that is similar to what you see in a professional hair salon. It really helps making crisp cuts rather than crippled cuts.
