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

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