To style this unique look, you needed to grow out the hair at the back to reach the shoulder length and then trim the hair on the sides in triangular shapes around the ears. The bangs were trimmed thick and styled perfectly slightly above the eyebrows. Thanks to its uniqueness, this hairstyle for men continued until the early ’70s, but this time it included more texture on top.
