Английская Википедия:Curtained hair
Шаблон:Use dmy datesШаблон:Short description Шаблон:More citations needed Curtained hair or curtains is a hairstyle featuring a long fringe divided in either a middle parting or a side parting, with short (or shaved) sides and back. Curtained hair generally applies to males, although an alternative name, the undercut, is used for both male and female haircuts following this style.[1] Variations on this haircut have been popular in Europe, North America, and Japan throughout the 20th century and in the 21st century, peaking between 1986 and 2001.
Origins
The Baiyue/Hundred Viets (1st millennium BC) appeared to keep their hair short and curtained in this style, unlike many other primitive peoples who had longer hair.
A shorter version of the curtain haircut, parted in the middle and kept in place with pomade, became popular during the Edwardian era as a more practical alternative to the longer hair and sideburns fashionable Шаблон:Circa. This was due in part to the popularity of sporting activities like rugby football among younger men.Шаблон:Citation needed The slicked-back style remained popular into the 20th century,[2] appearing on notable individuals such as Chinese politician Mao Zedong (Шаблон:Circa) and American real-estate developer Fred Trump (Шаблон:Circa).
From the turn of the century until the 1920s, a longer variant of the undercut was popular among young working-class men, especially members of street gangs. In interwar Glasgow, Neds (the precursors to the Teddy Boys) favoured a haircut that was long on top and cropped at the back and sides. Despite the fire risk, much paraffin wax was used to keep the hair in place.[3] Other gangs who favored this haircut were the Scuttlers of Manchester and the Peaky Blinders of Birmingham, due largely to the disadvantage caused by longer hair in a street fight.[4]
Revival
During the late 1980s, centrally parted hair, derived from the bowl cut, made a comeback among fans of new wave, synthpop, and electronic music as an alternative to the mullets and backcombed hair worn by glam metal bands.[5]
In the UK, curtains were popularised during the early 1990s by the baggy/Madchester scene as well as contemporary Shoegaze and Britpop bands such as The Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets, early Blur, The Beautiful South, and the Stone Roses.[6] It was also popular in the UK because of David Beckham's hair in the late 1990s.
A longer, collar-length version of the haircut went mainstream in the early-to-mid 1990s and was worn by many celebrities, most notably Tom Cruise.[7][8]
During the early 2020s the haircut had a resurgence in popularity, driven largely by K-pop and the social media platform TikTok. As a result, the haircut has become favored among youth, and is considered an attractive hairstyle for males. This came with a general revival of 90s fashion by TikTok users.[9]
In popular culture
Actors who have worn the longer version of curtained hair include Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 2,[10][11] Brendan Fraser in The Mummy Returns,[12] Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic, River Phoenix in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Kim Milford in Laserblast, James McAvoy in X-Men: Apocalypse, Jonathan Taylor Thomas in Home Improvement, David Duchovny in earlier seasons of The X-Files and Steve Buscemi in The Big Lebowski.
Many manga and anime characters, such as Dragon Ball protagonist Trunks, Takumi Fujiwara from Initial D, James from PokémonШаблон:'s Team Rocket,[13] Fullmetal Alchemist's Edward Elric, Levi Ackerman from Attack on Titan, Vinsmoke Sanji from One Piece, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure's Jonathan Joestar, and Naruto's Sasuke and his older brother, Itachi Uchiha have this haircut.[14] Japanese video game characters with this haircut include James Sunderland from Silent Hill 2, Squall Leonhart from Final Fantasy VIII, Sothe from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Raziel from Legacy of Kain, Leon S. Kennedy from Resident Evil 4, Kyo Kusanagi and Kim Kaphwan from The King of Fighters series, and Link from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
