Since the 1980s, boys hair styles in the United States and Europe have been remarably varied, although not destinctive by country. Mullets were a major hairstyle from 1985-93 for boys. The mullet phased into the feathered look of the early to mid 80s. An American reader reports, "In 1985, I was 12, and very noticeably, many boys in my school had that haircut, and my school ranged from kindergarten to 8th grade. Not only was the mullet the major haircut, most other boys were feathering their hair. Feathered hair for boys was just as popular in the 80s. Some even feathered their mullets. Other things boys did was shave the sides of their hair. Even as late as 1992, young boys had mullets, as my nephew 3 at the time had one, and so did his classmates in his preschool." Spiked hair appeared in the late 1980s and eraly 80s. The undercut was very popular in the 1990s. Spiked hair appeared in the late 1980s and early 90s. The undercut was very popular in the 1990s. The longer style began tapper out in the late-80 and we see a return to tyhe shoerter syles thwt were stwndard as late as the 1960s. In some cases very short tyles. What is most notable in tyhe 1990s is the jmix of styles. There was no doiminant hair sdtyles. We see boys with short, standard and lonnuish styles. Tere was room for just about everyone and howevr they wanted to wear their hair. We believe that boys t inceasingly younger age were expressing their desires nout how their hair was cut. The hair wars of the late 1960s and 70s were over. There was essebtully a developing toleration for hair styles.
