Since I’ve done all of this research on toddler boy haircuts and hairstyles I figured why not share what I’ve found with all of you, in case maybe you need some inspiration. We’ve compiled a list of ten of the most popular toddler haircuts for boys, so read on to find out!
10 Popular All-Time Favorite Hairstyles for Toddler Boys
Haircuts for little boys is a totally different ball game than toddler girl haircuts. To help you decide on the best haircut for your toddler boy, here’s a list of cute hairstyles for boy toddlers. We’ve chosen a variety of styles and cuts for different hair types so whatever kind of hair your little one has, you’ll be able to find one that you like.
#1 Crew Cut
Crew cuts are such a classic look for any age, and they’re easy to style, which is great for a little guy who’s constantly on the move. With a crew cut, the sides are short with the hair on top a little longer.
This is a great style for little guys with thicker hair, as you won’t need to use any product to make it look good. It works well for thinner hair, though – just use a natural pomade or wax to get a perfectly styled look. This is a great option for a two-year-old boy hairstyle.

#2 Fauxhawk
If you want to give your little guy a bit of an adorable edge, go for a faux hawk. It will make your toddler stand out, and will make him feel so cool, plus if he has a cowlick it’s an easy way to hid it.
It’s a lot like an adult mohawk, except that the sides are buzzed short instead of shaved, and the central section is left longer. Use a natural pomade or wax to get the spiky look of a mohawk.

#3 Buzz Cut
The buzz cut is the easiest of all of the toddler boy haircut styles, and it looks good on a wide variety of face shapes and hair types. The buzz cut is easy to maintain and doesn’t require much styling, but you can use some gel to give it a little texture.
There are many different lengths of buzz cuts, so it just depends on how close of a cut you want. Buzz cuts can be close to the head with a number one clipper, or you can go a little longer with a two or three. This is one of the best boy hairstyles for baby’s first haircut.

#10 Natural style
If your little man has naturally curly hair, you can just leave them as is. There are some important tips you need to follow, though, to keep it looking at its best.
Make sure to trim the ends regularly, as they dry out and break more easily than straight hair. Use your fingers or a special curl pick to comb curly hair so it doesn’t get frizzy. Make sure to moisturize to keep it healthy!
