Everything about Bowl Cut totally explained
A
bowl cut, also known as a
beach cut,
pot haircut,
chili bowl, or a
mushroom cut, is a
haircut where the hair is cut short on the sides and back and allowed to grow long on the top, looking as though someone put a bowl on the head and cut off all the visible hair. A famous bowl cut wearer in the
U.S. was
Moe Howard, who wore it as part of his "
Three Stooges" persona. In the UK it's also known as a
pudding basin haircut.
Historically this haircut was popular among common people of various nationalities as an easy and relatively neat cut by a non-professional. Indeed, it was done by putting a
cooking pot of a fit size to the level of ears, and all hair below the rim was cut or even shaven off. In some cultures it was a normal type of haircut. In other cultures the bowl cut was viewed as an attribute of
poverty, signifying that the wearer couldn't afford to visit a
barber. The bowl cut is quite common among the
Amish.
The bowl cut gained popularity in America among teenaged and pre-teen boys in the 1980s and was often associated with cool kid culture. Indeed, this hairstyle was a veritable fad in some locales. The popularity of the bowl cut faded in the mid-1990s.
The bowl cut is a comparable to the
Beatle haircut, which is slightly longer and less bowl hair-like.
