One major difference between boys' and girls' ringlets is that quite old girls even young women might wear them. Girls of all age wore ringlet curls. This included both young girls like young boys. While varying chronolgically and among countries, we note quite old girls wearing ringlets, including high school and university girls and young women. The one major variation as was that at a certain age, perhaps when finishing schools, young women stopped adding hair bows to their ringlets.
