We have not historical information as to how common bangs were for Dutch boys in the 18th and 19th centuries. Bangs appear to have been a very popular style for Dutch boys in the early 20th century. A Dutch reader, however, has provided some comments on the 20th century. "The comments on the term "pagekopje" above are right in a way. Normally this term is not used for a boys cut. But, when the hair is long over the ears, the term was used in the late 1960s and early 70s, at least in my family. I did wear this style myself and people called it a pagekopje--it did look a bit girlish of course. The short pony was also used too. This style, common, in the first quarter of the century, made a revival in
the late 60s (Beatles-look). When the hair is cut short above the ears the word 'pagekopje' can not be used of course, then it is only a short 'pony'."
