We note girls with a range of hair parts in the various styles worn. Some girls hair styles do not show an apparent part. Others show side parts. By far the most common were center parts or parts very close to center parts. While we have found boys with center parts, we note center parts have been much more common for girls. We have found large numbers of portraits showing girls with center hair parts. This of course was often with long hair, but girls also wore short hair with center parts. This was very common throughout the 20th century. A center part is often a very good indicator that an unidentified child in an old phootogrph is a girl, but there is no way to be absolutely sure. The popularity of the different parts has varied ovcer time and among countries.
