Pompadours were huge in the 1950s and 1960s. Today they are slowly but surely making a comeback. To give this classic style a modern twist, all you have to do is try something interesting with the sides. Trimming them super short will really elevate the Pomp.
#2: Burst Fade Teen Boy Hair
When it comes to cool haircuts, you can't go wrong with a burst fade. This fade variety is perfect for teen boys who are looking for a smart style that's anything but boring. There are barber shops all over the world where you can get this easy but fashionable buzz.

#3: Undercut for Boys
Versatility is important when it comes to boys haircuts. That's why something like the undercut is perfect for the young and the old. While some parts are short, the top has a nice height, making it ideal for boys and teens who aren't ready to go full on buzz cut. An undercut of this type works for all hair types except fine hair, so keep that in mind.

#4: James Deen Boys Hair
Was there anyone more fashionable than James Deen? Probably not. Try copying his hairstyle but adding a contemporary accent such as cuts on the side. Teenage hair that is medium, thick, wavy, or curly can pull this off. Just be sure to tell your stylist to keep the sides short.

#5: Curly Mohawk
Boy haircuts do not need to be dull. After all, the teenage years are for experimenting with looks! Curly hair is ideal for a mohawk that's more funky than punky. It's traditional in structure, but those ringlets take it to the next level.

#6: Freestyle Razor Cuts
If the teen guy in question is comfortable with letting his barber be artistically uninhibited then a freestyle cut can be an excellent choice. Design options are endless, and you can give a little direction if you want. If not, the hair cutter will just go with the flow and turn the sides into a work of art.

#7: Straight Mohawk with Fade
There seems to be no limit when it comes to haircuts for boys with straight hair. However, a short mohawk with a fade for a boy who is about 10 or 11 years old will be most age appropriate. Since it's on the shorter side, it's suitable for school, but the fade adds some fun and flare.

#8: Razor Up-Sweep Mohawk
Teenage guys with longer hair will love an up-sweep mohawk, especially if it has a more naturally vertical form as opposed to putting a whole bunch of hair gel to get it to stay in place. This look has dimension because it's long on top, medium in the middle and super short on the bottom.

#9: Low Fade for Thick Teenage Hair
Teen hairstyles that cater to thicker locks are great. This one in particular will appeal to guys who are looking for a medium cut with just a very subtle skin fade by the ears. It's smooth in appearance, but doesn't have any blunt cuts on top so it's a much more relaxed.

#10: Sharp Side Part for Boys
A sharp side part can totally transform an otherwise typical hairstyle. Basically, the barber will shave off a thick line of hair to really make the part standout. The rest of the hair can remain medium length or very short.

#11: Military-Style Regular Fade
Military-inspired haircuts for guys might seem intense, but they are simple and fresh. A regular fade in the military usually means a style where the fading reaches the hairline of the ears. The hair line on the side has a bit of a geometric shape adding more depth to the cut.

#12: Fade with Short Front Flip
You don't see many front flips on young teenage boys. But it's a super cool option which, when combined with a low fade and a shaved line in the middle, is so unique. You don't have to copy this exact design, but if a front flip is what you're after, ask your hairstylist what else you can do to add a little something extra to the whole look.

#13: Medium Teen Faux Hawk
Faux hawks are one of the most popular guys hairstyles. Here, you see that the top is thick with even length all the way to the back of the head. It then gets shorter down the neck and on the sides. It's important to note that the sides aren't super short, allowing for faster growth if a boy wants to change things up soon.

#14: High Top with Fade
You can always count on modern teenage boys to push boundaries when it comes to the way they present themselves. This is a classic high top with fade in terms of how it was cut and styled, but as you notice, the type of hair the boy has determines exactly how it turns out.

#15: Teen Edge Up
An edge up hair cut involves the barber straightening the hair line. Normally the hair is cut much shorter than this, but keeping the top medium or long allows for some youth that is found in most boys hairstyles.

#16: Boys Hedgehog Style
Hedgehog hairdos usually imply that the hair will be a bit spiky. It's a good skater boy choice for teens who aren't excited about the idea of going too short. Just remember, this is going to require some hair product.

Hairstyles for boys who want layers and shorter hair are few and far between, but here you have that trendy skin fade with a lot of range thanks to the different lengths on top. The up-swept bang adds extra body as well.

You can refer to this as a classic side part or a comb over. The tapered hair is an elegant choice for guys. When it comes to school photos, prom, and other special occasions, you really can't go wrong.

When it comes to guys haircuts, we're seeing more designs that combine a polished mane with some texture. Wavy hair can be created using tools if it doesn't come natural. Keeping the top brushed back is where you'll get that dapperness.

#21: Short Tapered Hairstyle
Crew cuts can sometimes look too severe on very young men and take away from a youthful appearance. Leaving the top with longer natural waves gives a softer vibe, but still maintains a "bad boy" sensibility similar to that of James Dean. Simply brush the hair back like you casually do or just ran your fingers through it with a bit of styling product.

Hair products aren’t just for girls. This sleek style uses gel to create a wet, “surfer” look. It’s pretty much the groomed guy’s equivalent to the “wash and go.” You may want to load up on the product so that the style stays wet-looking throughout the day.

Plus it is easy to master, just comb over wet hair to create a bump and you're good to go. This go-to "heartbreaker" look was highly sought after in the 90s based on the characters like Zach Morris from Saved by the Bell—a great retro look now that the styles of that decade are becoming a trend again.

#26: Funky Hairstyle
Don't tame your curls; let them run wild for an eye-catching style for boys with curly textures. If you want more volume ditch some gel and brush it out for a large, fluffy look.

#38: Popular Hairstyle for Wavy Hair
