French Boys' Hair Parts: Sharpness


Figure 1.-- Both boy and mom would giove more attention to a straight part for special occassions. Of course this was especially true for mother who wanted her son to shine for those special occassions. The more special, the sharper the part. We have no doubt that mother did this part for the boy's First Communion in 1947.

The sharpness of a boy's part varied. Some parts are razor sharp as done with a ruler. This was primarily popular when the hsir was slickened down a bit. Also the type of hair affected how straight the hair could be. Really sharp parts required straight hair. Natuarally curly hair is difficult to part as easily as straight hsir. The kmore curly the more difficult. Another factir was who was doing the parting. Most boys did not give huge attention go combing the their hair. This varied by age. As they got older they began to give more attention go it. But even here boys varied. Some were more inteested un their zppearance than others. And of course sometimes mothers got involved. Generally some one else doing the part coukld do it straighter than the boy himself. And the occassion was another factor. Both boy and mom would giove more attention to a straight part for special occassions. Of course this was especially true for mother who wanted her son to shine for those special occassions. The more special, the sharper the part.
