General technique for making patterns using a typewriter
Head designs for boys can be done in various techniques.
The general sequence is as follows:
- Perform a "basic" haircut, prepare the area for the drawing. Coarse hair is cut shorter, while soft hair is left longer.
- Shave the main lines with a trimmer. To obtain straight contours, use the entire width of the blade, applying slight pressure to it. Hold the trimmer at an angle to shave curved lines.
- To make the hand more firm and not "torn off", the ring finger and little finger are used as support, holding them in one place, and the trimmer is rotated around them.
- Shave short lines first along the hair growth, then you need to go back and detail this area in order to avoid mistakes in the desired design.
- Increase the width of large lines gradually, making several passes with a trimmer. To “fine-tune” them, the blade is turned and worked against hair growth. This must be done very carefully, otherwise you can ruin the drawing by shaving out too much.
- Give the final touches with a barber's razor, also working against the hair.
Since this procedure is fraught with the risk of damaging the skin, you need to act with light, short movements.
- It is also necessary to warn the child to sit still. To make it easier to work with, you can pre-apply shaving gel to your hair so that you can clearly see which lines need finishing.
Types of patterns on the head
For boys of preschool and primary school age, the most popular plots shaved on the head are the following:
- stars, "Drawn" along the contour;
- zigzag lines and "lightning»;
- simple linesthat emphasize the general image of the hairstyle;

- ornament in the Greek style and other ethnic patterns;
- spiral elements;
- lettering, including stylized ones;
- drawing in the form of a faceted "diamond";
- complex drawings in the form of images of animals or portraits of your favorite idols.
Stripes
Straight stripes are the simplest pattern on the hair.
To get it, you can use the full width trimmer blade.
Most often, straight parallel stripes are shaved in the temporal region. The stripes can be made with a clear outline or with a slight gradient along the length of the hair.
Curved stripes getting harder. They can duplicate the side parting of the basic hairstyle (or go right along it), and can also be performed as independent elements.
The rounding, converging to the back of the head, looks harmonious if it follows the contours of the head.
One of the "extreme" options is the stripe pattern, which serves as a clear boundary between the top hairy part of the hair and the completely shaved temples with the nape.
This hairstyle is suitable for coarse and coarse hair.
For teenage boys, the elements can be done in a graffiti style.
This pattern looks especially impressive on dark thick hair when a surface with a smooth gradient from sufficiently long hair to shaved temples is used as a base.
Zigzags
Zig-zag patterns for boys are more sophisticated, but they are done using simple straight-line elements.
Most often they are made in the form of patterns running from the temples to the back of the head at the bottom of the head or from the forehead to the back of the head.
One of the trendy options is the electric-type Pokémon-style lightning bolt.
Such a zigzag pattern on a child's head, descending from the forehead to the back of the head, looks fun and perky.
In older, adolescent years, zigzags can be performed in a "rapper" style over the entire surface of the head with an ultra-short "hedgehog".
Smooth spirals with a winding structure look more elegant. The implementation of such a pattern requires a lot of experience and skills, it is best to use a stencil.
It should also be borne in mind that the hair must be thick enough, otherwise the elements of the image will look like bald spots.
Web
Another popular design for primary school boys is the Spiderman pattern.
The spider web should be large enough to match the shape of the head.
Beforehand, it is recommended to make the markings with white eyeliner. This simple option is suitable for novice hairdressers.
As a basic hairstyle, various haircuts can be used - from "hedgehog" to "mohawk".
For teenagers, there is a more difficult option - a three-dimensional image of a spider web with a spider in the center.
Star
The star pattern is also based on base straight lines.
This hairstyle looks quite fashionable and at the same time not too provocative, so you can go to school with it without breaking any norms.
For younger boys, the star is shaved along the contour or "set off" by leaving the hair behind.
The area under the star should be large enough, so the hair is pre-cut to the same length.
Other geometric elements can be added to the star, for example, diverging rays or the "tail" of a falling comet, shifting the pattern closer to the back of the head.
As an extravagant option for adolescence, a combination of stars with a mohawk haircut is used.
Original patterns
Head designs for boys can be made from different images. As simple but original options are geometric elements or scientific formulas that "will be in the subject" for young students.
Another versatile option is the corresponding zodiac sign.
- For younger boys, cartoon characters such as Angry Birds are fine.
However, the technique for their implementation is rather complicated, since almost all lines are curvilinear and they need to be shaved off with a trimmer, tilting it at various angles.
Almost all boys adore Batman - a superhero who serves as a role model for them.
The confrontation between Batman and Superman, whose invariable attribute is a bat, is one of the coolest and most catchy options for a shaved pattern on the head.
- A popular symbol among teenagers is the cougar, which represents power and speed. Her silhouettes are often seen on sportswear emblems.
- It is better to choose a drawing for the head stylized and pre-mark it using a template for hair of the same length.
From aquatic animals, symbolizing power and strength, you can shave the image of a shark. To obtain recognizable contours, they are brought up with a hairdresser's razor.
A simpler, animal-style option might be the head of a wolf.
Since ancient times, this animal has been the emblem of warriors, as well as an attribute of war, therefore it is suitable for the "male" theme of adolescence.
As an original drawing, made in a restrained style, for adolescent boys is a combination of shaved hair with a long shock on the top of the head.
- The Saturn symbol is a good option for those guys who are fond of space themes, for sensual and vulnerable natures.
This planet is often chosen for traditional tattoos as well due to its unusual appearance. In order to give it "volume", it is necessary to shave the hair along the edge of the circle to a shorter length.
For football fans, the image of a soccer ball is suitable. The gradation of shades is obtained by shaving to different hair lengths.
For the summer, the boy can do a hairstyle with shaved elements in the form of a flame. The "background" of the image is shaved last with the trimmer.
There are more sophisticated hairstyles that require a lot of skill from the hairdresser.
At home, shaving such images will be difficult, as it requires the skills of an artist.
Easy drawing ideas
For simple drawings, it is best to select images that consist of rectilinear elements.
It will be a little more difficult to make a drawing in the form of a rising sun. It will suit boys of all ages.
This image looks good from a distance. The beams can be made as narrow, in one pass of the trimmer, and wide.
Different patterns on the head are one of the modern trends for boys in hairdressing. They help personalize almost any type of traditional haircut.
To make your hairstyle even more original, you can change the shade of your hair or dye it neon.
For everyday life, more simple, "strict" options with shaved stripes and micro-patterns are suitable.
Peculiarities
The new hairstyles were originally given the special name art hairstyles. At first, they differed only in the slightly shaved temples and slightly elongated hair on the back of the head.
But the process of creativity did not stop there, and the masters began to shave all kinds of stripes and catchy ornaments on the temples of clients.
Short haircuts for children are considered the most comfortable to wear. To make their simplified appearance more diverse, a masterly curly cut will be able to.
As a result, a drawing appears on the head, created not by using paint, but by shaving or cutting the contour of the desired image.
First you need to choose a basic hairstyle, it will be possible to apply a selected pattern on it a little later. There are several suitable types of such popular haircuts.
Of these, it is worth choosing the most suitable one - boxing or semi-boxing, beloved by many hedgehog or undercut, pompadour or stylish mohawk, maybe even a Canadian.
Fancy haircuts for boys with patterns and images should not give them discomfort. With them it should be as convenient as possible to go about your business or play.
Ideally, the child himself should choose the haircut he likes - then the master will be much safer to work.
The top of the hairdressing skill is whimsical patterns and images applied to the temples or directly to the back of the head. In this case, patterns can be made both with special scissors and with an ordinary hair clipper.
A masterly drawing can be done immediately with two tools, here everything will depend on the experience of the master you have chosen.
When choosing a toolkit, you need to pay attention to a number of important points.
For babies using scissors can become dangerous as children of this age are very restless. It's hard to keep them in one place.
- Unforeseen movement of the child can lead to accidental injury. And if you want to cut your baby with scissors, you will need to constantly distract him.
- Not all actions are performed with just one typewriter or only with scissors.Sometimes you have to use 2 tools at once to create certain images.
- To apply a pattern, most often the client's choice stops at the back of the head. But ornaments on the temples are also popular.
- At the place where the image is applied, the hairline should be at least 6-9 mm.
The image remains visible for a maximum of 10 days. As the hair grows back, some minor adjustments will be needed.
Advantages and disadvantages
The huge popularity of haircuts with images is due to their significant advantages:
- such haircuts will be harmoniously combined with the usual and sporty style;
- attractive, stylish look;
- the ability to hide imperfections in the face or head shape;
- the creativity of the carrier, even if it is a child;
- no need for constant styling;
- shaving this way will create a catchy contrast between the shortest and longest strands.
A significant disadvantage of such a haircut is the fact that in 2 weeks it almost completely disappears, as the hair grows back. Yes, and the duration of the haircut procedure itself, which can last at least an hour, few boys like it.
It will also not be possible to shave drawings on your head on your own, so you will often have to visit the hairdresser.
Dyeing
In order to diversify the boy's haircut with a pattern, you can use paint.
The main thing is that the dyes are not dangerous, you should definitely look at the composition, the ammonia content in it is unacceptable for children's hair, and the composition does not need to be kept for long.
The color can be as natural in order to simply highlight the pattern more expressively, or the coloring can be colored to create a completely original image.
Coloring also prolongs the life of such a hairstyle.
If a boy gets tired of a haircut using a pattern, then you don't have to do anything, just wait until the hair grows and that's it, the pattern will overgrow on its own.
How to choose?
Hairstyles with shaved patterns on the hair are usually most popular with teenagers. The patterns on their hair are most often seen at the temples or the back of their head.
At the same time, you can choose the most unimaginable patterns - from lightning to especially complex ornaments for execution.
The most common patterns on children's haircuts:
- parallel lines on the sides;
- web;
- rhombuses;
- stars;
- the image of your favorite cartoon character (or comic book character, film).
You can ask for a catalog when you come to the salon. And you should also take into account the advice of an experienced master.
To choose the right hairstyle, you need to rely not so much on fashion trends as on the character of a particular boy, as well as on his age. Certain criteria must be considered.
- Hair structure. The thing is that too thin hair usually does not look in haircuts with elongated strands - in this case, they will not look very neat.
- You should not make your child overly long bangs, like anime characters. It will interfere with your child all the time, affect the quality of vision, and for the worse.
- If your child is actively involved in sports, then it is best to choose a short haircut for him, which does not require special care.
A haircut that requires long-term styling is quite suitable for older boys.
- The opinion of the boy himself. Before the final choice of a haircut, it is necessary to show him photographs with various options and give him the opportunity to make his own, most likely, the first conscious choice.
- The shape of the baby's face and head. A professional in his field will always tell you which haircut will most favorably emphasize all the positive aspects of the little client's appearance.
- Boys under 10 you can shave various zigzags on their hair, cut double ticks and single ones, and they often choose cobwebs from ear to ear.
- From 12 years old more often the choice stops on ovals and rhombuses, checkboxes of cascading or triangular figures with lower figures of parameters larger than the upper figures.
- Teenagers 14-15 years old choose simplified drawings or figures of complex geometry, exclusive options. In this case, hairstyles for teenagers are one of the most difficult to perform and to care for.
Shaved images in boys' haircuts are quickly gaining in popularity.
The secret in this case is that such drawings will not only suit any type of face, but will also allow boys to create their own unique style.
How to do it yourself?
If you decide to make a drawing yourself, you will have to prepare the following tools:
- comb (flat);
- scissors;
- trimmer (without it it will not be possible to create a beautiful and even pattern);
- a hair clipper (if the drawing is very simple, then you can do only with this tool).
Before starting work, you need to make sure that the hair is of the required length:
- To create a pattern on dark hair, a length of 6 mm is sufficient.
- Blond hair should be at least 9mm in length.
- Longer hair lengths are also needed if the hair is too thin.
Technique for performing the lightest pattern in stages:
- First, the excess length of the strands is cut off on the selected area of the head. This can be the back of the head, one of the temples, the entire side part (or both sides to make a mohawk), as well as the entire surface of the head, if the drawing is large-scale).
This is how the base for the haircut is prepared. Do not forget to keep the hair length shown above.
- We outline the outline of the selected pattern. Simple lines are highlighted with scissors, non-standard ones are emphasized with a cosmetic pencil.
- Shaved with a machine the main body of the figure.
- Shave with a trimmer more difficult and small details.
- We finish by correcting the picture. It can be done both with a special trimmer and with a machine.
Important! If you are not sure of your abilities, it is better to entrust the work to a master. But if you are determined to try it yourself, start with small areas so that in case of failure, the drawing is not striking.
When choosing a beautiful and unusual haircut for a boy, in addition to all the above criteria, do not forget about the wishes of the child himself.
But the final word will be for the master who performs the selected haircut, since shaving a complex pattern requires a trimmer, without which it is impossible to create precise elements. In addition, the experience of a hairdresser is also important.
