Is this the "bowl" cut? Old hair style, cute kids.

Bowl hair cut hair style historic photo

 

Beautiful kids from a long time ago.

I always heard my parents say folks would just put a bowl over the head and cut around that bowl for a haircut.  These kids look as if that has been done....but in a very professional manner.  The bowl would have had to be moved for the bangs which were shorter.

The other interesting thing about them is that they are dressed just alike except for the shoes.  The socks do appear to be the same but there is a dark shoe and a light shoe.  This picture was placed on a post card.  Seems that having your picture on a mailing card was popular way back then.  They would never have dreamed how the photos can be done so easily now.

There is no date......but definitely a LONG time ago.

I like those hair cuts, did you know, they are still very popular, just the hair is a little longer around the face.

Inna, I did not know.  Seems as if we see few bangs today.

Good morning Barbara.  Haven't seen those haircuts in awhile.  I've seen some people who would benefit from them however.
