This was by far my biggest pet peeve as a kid (1960s). 95% of the other boys in my classes had longer hair cuts. My ex-Navy Dad made me get a Crew Cut until I was at least 10 years old. I hated them. The barber would use butch wax on the hairline to make the hair stand on end in front. I'll never forget that butch wax smell.

No, on the first Saturday of summer vacation my dad would take me and later me and my step-brother to get a burr haircut. A naked cut down to the skin all over. When I was little I didn't care. As I got older I rebelled and it was a war of wills between us.

Spring and summer were the worst. We had mosquitoes, black flies, deer flies, moose flies and other assorted biting insects here and they loved my big head with virtually no hair. I became very fond of which I understand was discontinued in 1991 for containing 100% Ethylhexandiol. Maybe that's why my hair is falling out now.
