Bowl Cut

An interestingly musing story here from the SF Chronicle. They are running a contest on the best picture of a bowl cut. You know the kind of hairdo that looks like your mother put a bowl on your head and cut away.

I don't know if my Mom did the same thing, but I do recall her cutting our fingernails as a child. Usually after we went to the beach.

Interestingly, I have a feeling that mothers out here in Korea give their kids haircuts. As probably all peoples of the world could be found doing. Whether or not it is a bowl type cut, sometimes you can tell the kid's hairdos were done by a non-professional. But I think parents take their kids to the public baths here, where a lady cuts the kids hair.

Certainly funny when you come across the boy or girl who has a perm or died hair do, unknown whether they requested this look themselves.
