Best Haircuts for Kids With Curly Hair
Here’s our comprehensive gallery of haircuts for kids with curly hair.
Undercut Plus Hard Part
This undercut style with parting is easily one of the most popular haircuts for black, white, and African-American kids with curly hair, thanks to its looks and low-maintenance nature. That parting just above the fade adds extra allure to the style, but make no mistake; it’s incredibly difficult to replicate.
Curly Mohawk
Creating a mohawk with an undercut is a glamorous way to wear curly hair, and it’s adorable. While it’s not the easiest style in the world to maintain due to the difficult task of perfecting the curl pattern daily or weekly, the awesome look of the style is easily worth any maintenance effort.
Pencil Back Mohawk
Who doesn’t like cute and cool haircuts for black kids with curly hair? One thing about most African kids’ hair; is that it looks unappealing without maintenance. The smoothly curved side parting is also popular among kids; so you don’t want to miss that under any circumstances.
Buzz Fade Undercut
A buzz fade works excellently with a wide variety of hair types, including curly hair. With a little texture and a curly top, you’ll get this amazing hairstyle; and yes, it works great on older kids too; not just toddlers..
Low Drop Fade Curly Toddler Haircut
The low drop fade haircut is a classic, beautiful, and iconic toddler boy curly haircut. However, adding the curly hair method to the high top gives your kid an outstanding modern hairstyle.
Black Kid Mohawk Haircut
Because of the unique hair of black kids, a Mohawk cut on black hair tends to look several times better than the one we saw earlier, if you’ll agree with me.
Your kids’ school is unlikely to permit a hairstyle like this, but if they’re after something fun for the holidays, this black ridgy Mohawk should work.
Low Bald Fade Haircut
The Low fade, either bald or tapper, wouldn’t be a bad choice for an easy-to-style haircut. With the help of a good pomade and some barber’s sorcery, your kid should be able to replicate this adorable hairstyle.
It’s also a more relaxed version of the mohawk from the preceding recommendation, making it perfect for schools with hairstyle restrictions.
Undercut Plus Textured Top
Some unique and cute haircuts for little boys with curly hair only require short hair at the top and possibly a low fade, a combination that almost certainly results in a banger. Whether you need a fresh school haircut or an adorable hairstyle for next season, this style is always there for you.
Mid Fade Plus High Top
Here’s an exciting hairstyle if you’re into radical hairstyle ideas for kids, with its no fade, sharp look. The tapered side cut creates a critical focus on the face and styling at the top. This style is best for toddlers that are afraid of the hair clipper, as it’s both low maintenance and tends to last pretty long.
Temple Fade Haircut
If you do not want clippers ever to touch the top of your child’s hair, this temp fade haircut idea for kids is what your child needs.
Due to the hair’s length and texture, you must wash and moisturize the hair regularly to retain its shine, so it’s not exactly low maintenance. With how adorable it looks, however, it doesn’t seem like anyone would have problems with having to run it through some water once or twice a week.
Buzz High and Tight
Just like high and tight, there’s no room for a fade here. The curly fringe gives it a more masculine look, and there’s your styling options are limited because of the hair’s curly look.
Another excellent benefit of this haircut is that it is pretty low-maintenance. Simply gelling up the small leftover curly hair or leaving it to maintain its natural state will work, depending on how you want it to look.
Fauxhawk Haircut + Wavy Fringe
While you can argue the kid’s hair is not of the curly type, there’s no doubt this hairstyle will work for kids with curly hair. If basic curly hair maintenance for kids is no problem for you, there are only few hairstyles on this list that’d work better than this.
Crew Cut
This type of crew cut for black kids with curly hair requires little or no hair product, and it creates an opportunity for different styling options if you don’t like the overall look.
A fade would work with this hairstyle, but it’s better to go with a bald undercut if you don’t want to keep hitting the salon every other day. Keeping the upper part as natural as this boy’s will also ensure you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg on hair products.
Textured Undercut + Path
The textured undercut is another excellent haircut for kids, especially during the winter, as it provides warmth.
Since it doesn’t require frequent shape-ups, it’s a perfect hairstyle for kids scared of hair clippers. The parting on the fade is also very popular among older kids, so you want to choose this style if your kid is fond of something like that.
Low Drop Fade
This low-drop fade haircut is a super haircut for kids with lightweight curly hair. The top hair is not too long for manipulation, so wash and go is enough maintenance to keep the style at its perfect state.
Styling haircut shouldn’t take too much of your time once it’s initially done, but the initial hairstyling is where most of the work is.
Curly Textured Undercut
This hair has a unique, aggressive texture that makes it one-of-a-kind, compared to most others on this list. One thing about this textured undercut is that it’ll look adorable regardless of the clipper blade setting used to make the cut, as long as it isn’t bald.
Since the hair’s texture is mostly natural, you do not need to invest much in hair products and maintenance.
Fauxhawk and Mohawk Haircuts
These kids’ haircut shows that you do not need to cut your kid’s long curly hair to achieve something outstanding, even with the typical African-American hair.
I can imagine most kids peferring the style on the younger brother, but the curly Mohawk with fade on the older brother is nothing to sniff at either. I’m rating the two haircuts a solid 8.5/10, and that’s even conservative.
The long hair at the top creates room for extra styling options like braiding and twisting, making it possible to achieve something even more outstanding if you can tap into that potential.
