Back-to-School Hairstyles: Popular Hairstyles for the Upcoming School Year

Popular back-to-school haircuts often prioritize ease of maintenance, versatility, and style. With back-to-school right around the corner, here are some timeless and trendy options to consider.

1. Classic Comb Over

A comb-over haircut is a classic hairstyle that involves combing longer hair on top of the head to one side to create a neat and polished look. A comb-over haircut offers a timeless and versatile style that can be adapted for different hair types, lengths, and personal preferences.

 

2. Shoulder-Length Bob

Also known as a lob (long bob), is a stylish and versatile haircut that typically falls just at or slightly below shoulder level. It’s a contemporary hairstyle that strikes a balance between chic and ease of maintenance. Its versatility, flattering length, and timeless appeal make it a popular choice for girls seeking a stylish yet practical haircut.

3. Tapered Fade

For boys, a tapered fade haircut is a popular choice that’s clean, modern, and easy to maintain. It involves gradually shortening the hair from the top down to the neckline. It’s a versatile option that can be customized with different fade lengths and hair textures.

4. Braided Hairstyles

Braided hairstyles, such as fishtail braids, cornrows, bubble braids, dutch braids, or braided ponytails, are popular among students for their versatility, durability, and ability to keep hair out of the face during busy school days.

5. Mohawk

For boys who want a bold and statement-making hairstyle, a mohawk haircut features a strip of longer hair down the center of the head, with the sides shaved or cut short. Mohawks are often styled by applying hair gel, pomade, or wax to the central strip of hair and shaping it into spikes or a ridge running along the center of the head. The spikes can be styled straight up for a classic mohawk look or swept to the side for a more modern variation.

6. Buzz Cut

A buzz cut is a simple and low-maintenance haircut where the hair is clipped very short all over the head. It’s a practical option for boys who prefer a no-fuss hairstyle. Despite its simplicity, the buzz cut can be versatile. It can be customized with different clipper guard lengths to achieve variations such as a “high and tight” buzz cut, where the hair is shorter on the sides and back and slightly longer on top, or a “butch cut,” which leaves the hair slightly longer all over.

These back-to-school hairstyles cater to a range of preferences and styles, providing options that are both fashionable and functional for the school year ahead.
