Hairstyles for boys

This is what happens when your mom does hair...
Because I do hair, my boys have had more styles in their first few years of life than most. Tanner had his first haircut when he was 3 months old and was given his first "shoeshine" (highlights) at the young age of 3. Its been long, short, colored, and bleached all before he turned 6. Since Rylan already has blonde hair, I am not ready to color that anytime soon.

School starts August 11th...Tanner is going into 3rd grade. Rylan is in pre-school.

Tanner has pretty thick, slightly wavy hair. This season he is sporting one of David Beckham's older looks...the shaved head. Very easy and low maintenance. #2 clipper guard all over. Perfect for playing football in full gear under the Phoenix sun & 100 plus degree heat. He does not have time to comb or style his hair in the next few months. This is the best look for him at this time.

Rylan has thin and straight hair. We choose another David Beckham hairstyle. This style came shortly after David's shaved look grew back. We call it, the mini-Mohawk. As you can see it looks oh-so cute on him and he can wear it a couple of different ways. It's fun, its funky, and it totally fits his personality. I must say this look is much cuter on a 4 yr old.
Chad says all I have to do is color his hair purple and he will look like an Umpa Lumpa. That would scare the crap out of Chad...he is very frightened by those little purple men in the movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
