Other boys had full front bangs with ringlet curls. I assume there is
center part behind the front bangs. It is often difficult to see the part
from the way the photograph is taken. The front bangs and center
part were one of the most common ways of forming ringlet curls. These
were much more common than the side part. The advantage was that it made
it easier to form ringlets of the same length on both sides.
The front bangs vary widely. They can be very carefully formed or
they can be rather uneven amd unkempt in contrast to the carefully formed
ringlets worn on both sides.
