We note quite a range of hair styles in the 1920s. The styles worn by younger boys were especially varied. Cropped hair was not real common. The hair was common cut well around the ears, but precise lengths and styles varied, in part because of the varied nature of hair. The front of the hair varied. Younger boys continued to wear bangs, but older boys treated the front of their hair in different ways. Both boys and girls wore commonly wore bangs in the 1920s. The primary difference was the length of hair at the sides. Here mothers had some discression, at least for younger boys who might wear page boy cuts with hair over their ears. . Some boys had naturally curly hair and thus we see some boys wih curly mops. Buster Brown bangs were going out of style, espcilly after the middle of the decade. Younger boys might have bowl cuts mother did at home.
