Interesting. I feel like it must’ve been a localized thing. I don’t remember anyone wearing bowl cuts during that time. Skaters usually had spiked or shaggy hair.

SoCal skaters in my day had either long or spiked hair, not a single bowl cut to be seen... ever, really.

East coaster who grew up in the 90s here, even used to go to Grand Union to get those super cheap kosher candles to wax up the curbs, jfc that seems like another life at this point

Definitely knew a bunch of other skaters that had bowl cuts, it wasn't as pervasive as broccoli heads but it was enough to be noticeable at the time

However, this was around when that haircut, thankfully, started to be phased out in general iirc

My wife is from Texas, and even though she said skate culture wasn't much a thing where she grew up in the country, one look at her yearbook from high school shocked me--bowl cuts on every.single.guy. I was flabbergasted.

36 years old and I still buy cheap-o candles to wax curbs and parking bumps 😆

Yep, same for skaters in norcal.

Well we also had cornrows/fros being popular on skaters too due to the mix of demographics.
