And during the 20th century we begin to see the term 'page boy' being used as a woman's or girls' hair style. This was the same time that the look became popular for girls, albeit with longer side hair. Besides the fashion, it was a much more practical style for girls than longer more practical styles. We do not see boys aering the cuts in school, but it became a popular style for girls. Many class portraits show girls with this hair style. Not all the class, but few classes of any size do not have sone girls with page/Dutch boy styles. A good example is an unidentified class in the 1920s. Other school portraits show much of the girls in classes with these hair cuts. a good example is an unidentifiedschool in the 1930s. We note many younger boys with bangs, but generally short hair at the side. It was the girls that had the page/Dutch boy bobs with hair over their ears (figure 1). This cut became a standard for girls although the popularity varied over time. We see boys wearing these cuts again after mid-century. First with hair alittle longer at the sides (1960s) and then with longer hair at the side when long styles became popular again. Both boys and girls wore the style that Olymoic skter Dorthy Hamlin made popular. Younger boys wore this look. Older boys had a little different look.
