Figure 1.-- This American boys wears bangs with a side roll in a photograph taken in the 1900s. Note the velvet button-on shorts and colored colar. |
Boys also wore bangs with side rolls. Rather than ringlets hanging at the side. the hair was contured at the side in a kind of buldge or roll. This was not a common style, but some boys in the early 20th century did wear it. While his was a style of long hair, the hair was well off the shoulders, in fact off the ears. Somewhat long hair, however, was needed to form the side role. This was a style for a younger boy, mostly boys not yet of school age. The American boy on this page was probably photographed about 1905.
