Figure 1.--We have noted a few examples of boys during the 1920s wearing a kind of front hair tuft, usually cut like bangs. The boy essentially has copped hair, but alittle bit of gair at the front just above the forehead has been allowed to grow. Here we see a boy just beginning school that has this front tuft |
We have noted a few examples of boys during the 1920s wearing a kind of front hair tuft, usually cut like bangs. The boy essentially has copped hair, but alittle bit of gair at the front just above the forehead has been allowed to grow. This was not a common style, but we noticed it often enough to know that it was not an aberant style. A number of boys, mostly younger primasry schoo boys, had their hair cut this way. We do not know what the proper name for this style was, either in German or English. We have only noticed this style in Germany. We are not sdure that it was only a German style, but as far as we can tell, it seems to be. Most of the images we have found are from the 1920s. It appears to have been a transitional style between the cropped hair commonly worn in the 1910s and the combed hair styles of the 1930s. Perhasps ur German reasders will know more about this style of hair cuts.
