Hey Guys and Gals,
Just picked up a site about long-hair styles on mid-19th to early 20th century boys. Just click on the link below:
Should these be considered for male hair-styles today?

Are you asking whether to style your own boy's hair that way or whether we think these styles look good today?
I recall seeing childhood pictures of my grandfather in sausage curls and starchy suits and besides thinking he was a girl, I kept thinking he looked awfully uncomfortable and self-conscious!
Speaking from the middle-class American perspective, the formality of those hair styles seems as wholly inconsistent with today's decidedly informal approach to living as do the clothes. Plus, how long could a parent realistically expect a kid's hair to stay so carefully arranged? I don't know many adults who could keep all those curls and waves in place for very long!

It's a good web site.
The web site has a good combination of pictures and informative text. It doesn't have those page frames that make windows hard to see and cause web browsers to crash.
I'm glad to see that in the past it was acceptable for men and boys to wear long hair. This may indicate that there is a good chance that long hairstyles will persist in the future. Maybe in 2025 most of the CEOs (chief executive officers) and Presidents will have long hair.
>Maybe in 2025 most of the CEOs (chief executive officers) and Presidents will have long hair.
What makes you think CEOs and Presidents in 2025 will be male?!
What makes YOU think that the women will have short hair?!
Weren't we talking about *men* with long hair?
I intended to say, "Maybe in 2025 most of the male CEOs (chief executive officers) and Presidents will have long hair".
