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.

I walked a mile to the barber shop with my four brothers. I sat on the steps outside waiting for them...I was forbidden to go in. They all got buzz-cuts with that smell-good stuff. I'd spend the next couple days going from one to another just rubbing thir heads. Silly for a six-year-old, but great memories of fun and innocence.
