Best Boys Haircuts for Curly Hair

I’ve got two kids and a ton of curly hair to manage in this household and I love every minute of it, but these curly boy haircuts make me ridiculously happy! I live for them!!!! It was not long ago when I wondered when my curly baby boy would get his first big boys haircut and now here we are planning which curly hair fade to get next! Seriously man, time is on beast mode over here. Why do our babies grow so fast?!

When my son would get his little guy haircuts, I remember feeling super overwhelmed with his new look. I needed a couple days to get used to his new curly haircuts! That’s why I believe that the best haircut for curly hair is more complicated than just picking out a photo and needs to account for your baby’s temperament, curly type, etc. For example, I love boys with long hair, but my son struggles with the patience needed to manage long biracial hair. He has super curly hair, even tighter coils than his sister. But his curl definition is glorious so, even if curly mixed hair care is a lot of work, I didn’t want to get his first toddler haircut too soon or too cut off much.

Adorable Curly Boy Haircuts

For his , we knew we’d be going to Kidville at Tivoli Village. The kids have been going to classes there for years. We love all the teachers, have never once had an issue, and I’ve chatted with Miss Becca (the in-house stylist) about the impending cut for months and months in advance. I kept asking her, “so you’re sure you know what to do with curly hair? You’re surrrrrrre?”. My worst nightmare was taking my baby boy to a cute salon that chopped his hair all raggedy. What we experienced at Kidville was anything but. And for full disclosure, although I am a Kidville Ambassador, this post is not sponsored.

Little Men’s Haircuts Moms Swoon Over

men’s haircuts For his first curly hair cut, we knew we’d be going to Kidville at Tivoli Village. The kids have been going to classes there for years. We love all the teachers, have never once had an issue, and I’ve chatted with Miss Becca (the in-house stylist) about the impending cut for months and months in advance. I kept asking her, “so you’re sure you know what to do with curly hair? You’re surrrrrrre?”. My worst nightmare was taking my baby boy to a cute salon that chopped his hair all raggedy. What we experienced at Kidville was anything but. And for full disclosure, although I am a Kidville Ambassador, this post is not sponsored. We paid about $25 for the haircut, plus tip.

The conversation that finally convinced me that Miss Becca could handle the job was when she explained how she uses only scissors. She felt razors made too much noise that scared the kids and weren’t needed for baby hair. I loved and appreciated this child-focused approach, and wondered if a regular grown up salon would have had that foresight.

Sebastian was very thick, tight curls. His hair resembles Alina’s very much, except he doesn’t have the coarse patch of hair at his hairline like she does. He’s not even 2 and a half yet, so I expect his texture to change a bit as he ages. We follow the same curly mixed hair care routine for infants that I used for Alina, but to be honest, not as diligently as I did with her. Sometimes his hair wouldn’t be done at all, and it was becoming to get out of hand.

Sebastian’s haircut was a family affair. As you can see above, even big sister was excited to document his new look. He was a great little boy, only wiggly towards the end.

As for me, I was super excited to see my little man’s new do. But I will admit, this moment below, when she lifted the hair so that we can decide on the length to cut, took my breath away. I almost swooped up my baby right then and there and ran away!

In the end, we decided to cut a good amount off. Go big or go home, right? Yet we still left a substantial amount of curl. The sides are much shorter, with a bit more length on the top, and certainly way more shape than his all-natural do. I don’t see us going any shorter anytime soon. This is the perfect length for maintenance and curl, in my opinion.

I about fell onto the floor when I saw the finished product! My baby boy looks so dang CUTE!….

After his hair cut, we enjoyed the farmer’s market at Tivoli, grabbed lunch and let the kids play in the playground. Sebastian certainly had a pep in his step, feeling all fly and fresh. He said hello to everyone and got sooo much attention. Alina would proudly tell the passersbyers, “He got his very first haircut today and he did soooo good.”. Haha. My little mama.

Well, we did it. Our little man got his first hair cut. I love it and am very grateful to Miss Becca at Kidville for a beautiful job and for a little boy that isn’t traumatized or anything crazy.

My little Cubanito,

With your cleaned-up do, fat belly and dapper attire, you remind me so much of a little Cuban boy. It’s crazy how a simple hair cut can make you seem so much older, way less baby-ish and, in general, just so dang adorable. I swoon for you, my boy, and you totally know it.

I’m madly in love and the biggest gift you give me is loving me back.

Just like your sister, I hope you always hold dear your curly mixed hair. It’s so beautiful, my son, and filled with the love and heritage that your legacy comes from. As you grow and take charge of your hair, I hope you never loose your curls. They make you special and unique, drawing people into your life that embrace and appreciate those values too. Straight hair is cool and all, but it’s okay (and fun!) to be different. We’re all so proud of you, my sweet boy.
