We had "Butch" haircuts in our household.
As a kid in the '50s and early teen in the '60s, I also wore a Butch and a Flat Top. But the guys who were called "hoods" (ie., hoodlums, whether they were or not) wore the D.A.s and pompadours. Think of the movie "Grease".

In '64 I went to the "Beatles look". Got kicked out of junior high and high school on many occasions to go get a haircut (even though it really wasn't very long.) Schools were pretty strict back then...

In the years 1972-1974 dress code violations, hair violations and smoking on school grounds got me expelled from two Catholic High Schools.
I did it on purpose to eventually not have to attend Catholic school anymore. Really could not tolerate petty rules designed to produce sheep-like compliance.
My last two years of high school were at public school.
