High Bald Fade

Make your little guy appreciate a clean buzz cut by giving him a high bald fade. It’s classic stylishness is for all ages. California-based barber and stylist Gilbert Escobedo provides some pointers to achieve the look.
“Begin with a hard part and comb over the length of your hair to one side,” he says. “If you have a cowlick, you can tame it by smoothing the rogue hair in the direction it naturally follows.”
Here’s a stylish trend to reward your boy! Featuring a messy side-swept fringe, this is how he flaunts a neat chop to jazz up his dark hair.
According to barber Robert Davids of Macclesfield, CH, it’s a textured top with short back and sides and neck taper. “The best thing about this cut is versatility. The length left at the front gives you the option to style it down, sweep it to one side, or even use some product to get some real volume and spike it up,” he explains.
This cut works for a variety of face shapes, but Davids always advises talking with your stylist to tailor the cut specifically for your little guy. He notes, “This really is a low-maintenance style that can be left natural with minimal styling, or worn with the product every day to keep everything perfectly in place.”
Opt for the preppy look with a clean, hard part and combed-over hair with faded sides starting with a #1.5 at the bottom to a #3 at the crown; just like this cut by barber Al Reid of Greenville, SC. “Shear cut on top to remove bulk and to even it out. Finish off with a water-based pomade and styled with a styling comb,” he explains.
Reid continues, “This is a clean-cut look. I used the Suavecito hair pomade to complete the look, and it has a clean, fresh scent that enhances the little boy’s hairstyle. To restyle the low skin fade haircut, simply dampen the child’s hair lightly and restyle without adding more product.”
Spiky Top Short Cut
