We see some Argentine boys wearing ringlet curls in the late-19th and earlyv 20th century. Ringlets were of course more common for gurls, but as in Europe and North America, we see boys eraing ringlets for a few decades. We are not sure when this began, but suspect the time-line was very similar to that of America and Europe. Nor or we sure which country was most influential. Spain was an important influence on Argentina. The ringlet styles we note seem more influenced by English than Spanish styles. Some of the Argentine boys we see with ringlets may have been European expatriats. This is difficult to assess from the photographic record. As in Europe and America, we know longer see boys of any ages wearing rungles after World War I in the 1920s.
