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.
