Cutting Boys Hair Long on Top
Are you looking for a way to make your little boy’s hair look stylish and trendy? If so, you may want to considercut boys hair long on top. This hairstyle is becoming increasingly popular among young boys and can be a great way to give them a stylish and trendy look.
Decide on the style
Before you begin cutting, it is important to decide on the style you want to create. Will it be long and layered or short and choppy? Decide on the length of the sides and back as well. Once you have a plan in mind, you can begin prep work.
Gather the right tools
Before you start cutting, it’s important to gather the right tools. You’ll need a good quality haircutting scissors, comb, clippers (optional), and a mirror.
Start by combing the hair to loosen any knots and tangles. If the hair is extremely tangled, you may need to use a brush to help detangle it. Once the hair is smooth, use your scissors to cut away any split ends.
Next, decide how long you want the hair to be. A general rule of thumb is to start with the longest length you want the hair to be, and then work your way shorter from there. For example, if you want the hair to be 4 inches long on top, start by cutting it to 6 inches.

Now that you have the right tools and know how long you want the hair to be, you’re ready to start cutting!
Start by combing the hair straight up from the forehead. Then, use your scissors to snip off the ends of the hair until it’s the desired length. Be sure to hold the scissors perpendicular (90-degree angle) to the strand of hair you’re cutting for clean, even cuts.
Next, comb the hair straight back from the forehead again and clip or snip off any longer pieces in back so they’re even with the ones in front. Again, be sure to hold the scissors at a 90-degree angle for clean cuts.
If you want a more dramatic look, you can use clippers with a guard attachment to buzz off some of the length on top. Start with a longer guard (such as a #4 or #5) and then move down to a shorter one (like a #3) if desired. Be sure not to buzz too close to the scalp or you risk creating an uneven look.
Prepare the hair
Before you start cutting, it’s important to get the hair wet so that it’s easy to work with. You can either wet the hair in the shower or use a spray bottle to dampen it. Once the hair is wet, comb it straight back away from the forehead. If the hair is too long, you may need to use a rat-tail comb to help gather all of the hair in one place.
Fading the Hairline
Fading the hairline is a great way to make your boy’s hair look longer on top. It’s a simple technique that you can do at home with a few supplies. All you need is a comb, scissors, and a trimmer.
Decide on the style
There are several popular styles for boys with long hair on top. The most common is the pompadour, which can be styled with product to stand up or swept to the side. Another Mohawk-like style is the quiff, which is often longer on top and shorter on the sides. There are also more traditional styles, like the Ivy League, which is cut short on the sides and longer on top, or long hair all around that can be pulled back into a ponytail or man bun.
Gather the right tools
Before you start cutting, it’s important to make sure you have the right tools. This will help the process go smoother and faster, and will also give you a better result.
Here’s what you’ll need:
-Hair cutting scissors
-Clippers with various guard sizes
-A comb
-A cape or old towel
-A spray bottle
Prepare the hair
Start with clean, dry, and styled hair. If your hair is longer than an inch, you’ll probably want to use a comb to help you get a straight line. Decide where you want the fade to start. A good place to start is an inch or two above the eyebrow. Use a comb to make a clean line from the eyebrow up to the point where you want the fade to start.
Trimming the Top
Start with clean, dry, and styled hair. Cut small amounts off at a time, and take your time. Check the hair from different angles as you trim to make sure you’re not cutting too much off. Use scissors or clippers with a guard on them to avoid taking too much length off the top.
Decide on the style
There are a few things to consider when deciding on the style. First, you’ll need to think about the length. Do you want it to be long on top and short on the sides? Or do you want it all one length?
You’ll also need to think about the texture of your son’s hair. Is it straight, wavy, or curly? This will play a big role in how the final style looks.
Finally, consider your son’s age and personality. A young boy with a more outgoing personality can pull off a trendier style, while an older boy or a boy with a more reserved personality might look better in a classic style.
Once you’ve considered all of these factors, you’re ready to choose a style!
Gather the right tools
To properly trim a boy’s hair, you’ll need:
-A comb
-A pair of scissors
-Clips (optional)
Start by combing the hair to remove any knots or tangles. If the hair is very long, you may want to clip it out of the way so that you can focus on one section at a time.
Prepare the hair
Start with clean, dry, and styled hair. If your hair is already in the style you want, you can proceed to the next step. If not, start by wetting your hair and applying a styling product evenly throughout. Once the product is in, comb or brush your hair into the style you want. If you are unsure of what style to go for, consult a hairstylist or look up pictures of hairstyles online. After your hair is styled, proceed to the next step.
