First Communion Hairstyles for Boys: 4 Looks for Communion and Confirmation

A first communion hairstyle for boys should look neat, match the suit and still suit the child. The same applies to confirmation a few years later: groomed, but not dressed up. Here are four looks and tips for styling on the day.

1. Side part

The classic for communion and confirmation. A neatly drawn part with a little shine goes with any suit and looks timeless in photos. The technique is at side part with pomade.

2. Groomed crop

With short hair, the top is laid loosely forward and the sides are freshly cut. Low-maintenance and child-friendly. More at styling short hair with pomade.

3. Light quiff

The front of the top lifted a little, for older boys at confirmation. See quiff with pomade.

4. Loose slick back

For confirmands with slightly longer hair. Not too sleek, with some volume so it doesn't look too strict. More at slick back with pomade.

How to style on the day

1. Wash the hair in the morning and let it towel-dry.
2. Use only a very small amount of pomade. For children's hair, a third of a pea is often enough.
3. Warm it well and spread from back to front.
4. Shape with a comb and pack a small comb for the photos.
5. Wash out with shampoo in the evening. Guide at washing out oil-based pomade.

If your child has sensitive skin or reacts to fragrance substances, test the pomade on a normal day first. If unsure, ask a pediatrician or dermatologist.
