crewcut

The top and sides are cut super short and because of a cowlick right near the front, there are some unruly tufts that want to do their own thing. In today's world, those random strands make this style practically up to date.

We are not sure which decade this 'do most closely resembles, but its a cross between the 1940s and 1960s, or maybe 1980s even, with short sides above the ears and longer back with slight curls. The deep side part makes the top look a touch like a comb over with a Gerber baby curl on the opposite side. Hmmmm very interesting.

O.K., so if you are old enough to remember the 60s, you might recall wearing curlers to get the look, or might have memories of seeing women in the grocery stores with hairnets and those curl things especially if you were just a kid back then. If you were not born yet, consider yourself lucky that you did not have to endure this. This pre-teen girl is playing with some younger children while her locks dry into perfect little curls on the top of her head. This was any easy way to get some lift for those poofy 'dos. Notice the neatly arranged group of short strands right in front of her ear. They used Dippity Do for that.

Here we have a young woman with an example of early 1960s hair, sweater, skirt, and shoes. This gal is standing out on an old country dirt road with her arms folded just like a teenager would do if she was not into whatever was going on here. She is wearing a white blouse that is tucked into a full skirt that comes around the waist and is very puffy. It looks like she is wearing some kind of slip that might had fullness as well. Her shoes are simple slip-ons and are flats. Her hair is cut in a fashion that would be consistent with the decade prior, but she has plenty of lift on top from back-combing and that is definitely a sign that the 60s were in full swing with the bouffant.

The photo above shows a young man in the late 60s to early 70s. He has a side part with full bang combed over and the sides are straight and cover the ears. Long side burns were definitely in with full eyebrows and mustaches. Red pants with a cuff at the bottom along with white slip on shoes.
