It was very rare for parents to both dress the children in identical outfits and style their hair identically unless they were twins, especially twins of the same gender. Soome what more common was coordinate the clothing and hair styles, but still this was not as common as some of the other alternatives discussed here, but we have noted a few instances where mothers did so. There are many different alternatives here. For example a mother might outfit the boys similarly and then style the younger boy's hair like his sisters. Also some mothers may choose identical and others similar styles, perhaps age greaded in some way. Similarly mothers may select both identical and similar styles sch as ringlet curls with differnt parts.
