Talk:Pageboy

Comments[edit]

A while back I renamed this article to the apparently more standard Pageboy. It originally said:

The Page Boy is a hair style named after a drawing of a woman dressed as an English page boy.

I'm wondering what the source for this is. Is this a particular drawing by a particular artist? Also, as far as I know, the style was actually popularized in the 1920s by the actress Louise Brooks. But I don't know enough about this to expand the article. Unfortunately, a talk-page message to the original author hasn't been answered. - dcljr (talk) 1 July 2005 08:38 (UTC)

I disagree with the idea that the bangs are what give it the name. The essence of the pageboy style is the roll-under of the ends of the hair at its perimeter, not its type of bangs. Pageboys may or may not have bangs. The style of both ends and bangs for that matter have been around long before Bettie Page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.65.208.227 (talk) 20:43, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Surely it was popular in the 1920s as well? 92.20.128.87 (talk) 18:59, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ancient representation of the hair cut.[edit]

I would suggest that the history of this style seems to be very ancient, please see if you can insert this example into the article; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belisarius Actually the representation preceding does not show the entire mosaic as it once did so it can be seen here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Meister_von_San_Vitale_in_Ravenna_003.jpg Note the "pageboys" appear to the left. 96.19.147.40 (talk)Ronald L.
