A 'bowl cut' in hair cutting got it's name from the way people cut hair themselves at home. Mothers often upturned a large mixing bowl on a child's head and used the bowl's edge as a guide for cutting. Vintage 'Dutch Boy' brand paint cans had a young boy with blond hair, cut in the traditional 'bowl cut'. Probably because of how it was done, and being the cheapest haircut for both boys and girls, the Bowl Cut led to teasing and ridicule, especially in the 1950s and 1960s. Though it may now have less bullying, in the 50s and 60s a bowl cut carried a lot of stigmas and cruelty from peers. See related link to see a Dutch Boy Paint can image.
