Hey everyone, I’m looking for some cool haircut suggestions for my 8-year-old son. He’s got thick curly hair and I want something that’s stylish but still easy to maintain for school. Anyone here with boys who have similar hair? I’d love to hear what’s worked for you.

That’s a fun age to experiment with different styles! Kids usually love something that stands out a bit.

My nephew has hair just like that and my sister was in the exact same boat a few months ago. She ended up trying a low fade with a twist sponge top and it looked awesome on him. It’s actually one of the most popular black boys haircuts right now. The best part is, it didn’t require a lot of upkeep—just some leave-in conditioner and a twist sponge now and then. He looked really sharp, and it held up well even after school or playing outside. I'd recommend checking out some visuals online to see what your son might like, maybe even let him pick with you. It makes the whole process more exciting for them.
