The trend revives the legendary style of the Beatles in short and long versions.

Bowl cuts: From the swinging sixties into the twenty-first century

The bowl cut is best know as one of the most popular 60s hairstyles. Then it was known as the 'five-point haircut'. Ideally, the hair falls in an even sweep from the crown of the head toward five points.
