Dad's crew cut - a crew cut with the shortest guide he had - he gave us one every Saturday night so we looked our best for Sunday church. It was so short you had a hard time pinching it with your fingers - but the boot camp haircut still took some off
UHH has a slew of old timers, like me. Have you ever had any of these modern hair styles in the 1950s?
Yes. It makes me glad I was a teen in the *late 1960s through the mid 1970s!*
Those are some of the most ridiculous men's hair styles I've seen. I think so ESPECIALLY because my parents made me get a butch/crew cut until 1967... I was teased mercilessly at school. A girl at the desk behind me ran her hair through it in class one morning and said, "EEEWWW, feels like the back of a theater seat!" I put my foot down that evening. There was a rather loud shouting match, but I won. NO guy wanted hair like that poster after about 1964. Beatle mania put an end to it. The girls in our schools enforced it.
My grandmother would send me to "Red, the Barber" on the corner to get crewcuts so that she could do "tick patrol" when I would come in from playing around in the fields and woods.
