We have chosen for our hair style pages, primarily images of boys with carefully combed or styled hair illustrating the many different styles of boys hair styles. In many cases the hair was carefully done by mother for a portrait. Older boys might be taken to a barber in preparaion for a portait. At the minimum mother probably at least gave the hair a final comb before the portrai was taken. In real life of course boiys often had less perfect hair styles and many were not combed at all. Others were in real need of a hair cut. Of course if a boy had cropped hair, it required little maintenance. Other longer styles might require constant combing. While it is relatively easy to identify hair styles in formal portraits, often it is much more difficult in family snap shot in which the children have not been spruced up to have their picture taken.
