bowl cut

Rounded fringe style

A bowl cut is a hairstyle where the hair is cut straight around the head at a uniform length, as if someone placed a bowl on top and trimmed everything below the rim.

The style was common for children in the mid-twentieth century and is now often considered unfashionable or the mark of an amateur haircut: His mom gave him a bowl cut that made him look like a medieval peasant.
