This was not very common, but we do see some examples of curled hair without ringlets. This was mostly shortr cut styles with the curls well off the shoulders. We note a variety of styles. We note some boys with bangs curls at the end of their hair at the sides and backs. This was done in many different ways. Some were only slightly curled. Other boys had elaborate, almost bushy curls.
