The pageboy was popular among men during the early Renaissance.[2]
This haircut was also popular in the 1900s with young boys as it was first popularized by child actors, such as John Tansey and, later, Jackie Coogan. The pageboy look on boys is often referred to as the Dutch Boy look after the popular fictional character. The pageboy returned to male fashion in the 1960s for grown men with straight hair after getting popularized by British rock bands such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. This was copied by many of the U.S. garage rock/punk bands, including The Chocolate Watchband, ? and the Mysterians, The Monkees and the Count Five. Andy Warhol and several members of The Velvet Underground also sported the androgynous haircut. The early Ramones haircuts were elongated pageboys, also sported, though less long, by the male members of Blondie. In the 1980s, the haircut became a symbol of garage punk and UK beat music as seen on the album Rockabilly Psychosis and the Garage Disease and worn by bands with 1960s influences, such as The Barracudas and Primal Scream. Mansun lead guitarist, Dominic Chad, was known for sporting this haircut in the late nineties.
Although it is currently a hairstyle worn far more by women, many men have worn it, including characters such as
David McCallum wore the hairstyle the 1975 TV series The Invisible Man[4] and child actor Adam Rich popularized it for children in the series Eight Is Enough, which ran from 1977 to 1981.
The hairstyle is also displayed by the brothers Anthony and Phillip Bonfiglio, on the animated series F Is for Family.
