The Dutch boy haircut

The Dutch boy short bob, perhaps the most iconic flapper bob, was first popular in Germany in the Cabaret scene, as early as 1918 – just after WW1. Mary Thurman can certainly claim to being the first notable American actress to wear her hair this way in 1920.

However, Colleen Moore would make it popular, and later other silent screen stars such as Louise Brooks. The style was worn by many, though it did not suit all face types.
