The Right Back-to-School Haircut Inspires Confidence in Kids of Any Age
It’s the season to blog about back-to-school haircuts for kids. Summer’s nearly over, and families are gearing up for back-to-school life; time to buy new clothes and get new haircuts! When kids get their back-to-school haircuts, they often feel confident and excited to start another school year. Popular and simple back-to-school haircuts our customers’ kids tend to get at Pure Excellence Hair Design include:
- Blunt Bobs
- Pixies
- High Tops
- Buzz Cuts
Girls are Stylin’ with Pixie or Blunt Bob Back-to-School Haircuts
Most young girls really like getting stylish back-to-school haircuts. Trying new haircuts serves as a means of females’ self-expression, and boosting their self-esteem. Popular back-to-school haircuts many girls enjoy having include blunt bobs and pixies.
The Blunt Bob Haircut
Girls who like maintaining length in their hair enjoy having blunt bob haircuts. “Blunt” means the haircut is the same length all around. “Bob” derives from Victorian times, when horses had their tails cut short, or “bobbed.” Blunt bobs cut kids’ hair straight around the head at jaw level, exposing the back of the neck. Usually, blunt bob haircuts keep all of the bluntly cut hair above the shoulders.
The Pixie Haircut
Pixie haircuts are generally short on the back and sides and a bit longer on the top with short bangs. The term “pixie haircut” derives from how artists depicted hairstyles on mythical creatures known as pixies. Stylists achieve basic pixie haircuts by cropping in layers to short hair in order to create a slightly tousled look. In our March blog, we shared that the wavy pixie style with an undercut was trending in 2022.
Buzz Cut and High Top Back-to-School Haircuts Look Great on Male Kids
Females aren’t the only kids who like to express themselves with back-to-school haircuts. Getting a new haircut also helps males feel good about themselves, and inspires individuality. Males like to keep things simple, including their hair; simple back-to-school haircuts they like include buzz cuts and high tops.
Buzz Cuts
Buzz cuts are to males as blunt bob cuts are to females; the length stays the same on their heads. Unlike the blunt bob, buzz cuts are extremely short—even shorter than the pixie. The term “buzz cut” derives from the sound electrical hair clippers make when used to create this hairstyle. Variations include:
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Triple Zero Buzz Cuts
- Induction Buzz Cuts
- Uniform Buzz Cuts
- Tapered Buzz Cuts
- Low, Mid, or High Skin Fade Buzz Cuts

High Tops
With high top haircuts, we cut hair on the sides, or keep very short with the hair on top long. High tops look similar to crew cuts—a popular men’s hairstyle, as we described in last month’s blog. Generally, males get high top haircuts with fades—hair at the sides and back is cut closely to the face. Variations of high top fade back-to-school haircuts include those with:
-
-
-

-
-
- Curls
- Dreadlocks
- Braids
- Noticeable parts
