Fades with lines

Right now, there is nothing cooler than having an awesome faded haircut. Your child may prefer a classic fade, or they could also have the barber put some cool lines into it. Sometimes, the barber can even create cool shapes or even words, like the name of a favorite sports team. It will all depend on the skill level of barber that you go to. Your child will look handsome and dapper with a cute faded haircut.

Half up-do

If an up-do is too much but letting their hair fall in front of their face will get in the way of them doing their work, a half up-do is a great option. It’s a very cute hairstyle and it’s also practical, especially if your child has long hair. Alternatively, you can put their hair into a half-up bun, which is also adorable but will also help keep their hair out of their face.
