It is a cut cut that is a short to mid-length. The hair is cut straight about the head at jaw level, and may or may not have bangs or a fringe. In 1890's this style was not considered respectable, even though keeping long hair was inconvenient. This style became fashionable in 1915 when Irene Castle, a trend setter, introduced this style in America, and was later made popular by Louise Brooks, and Colleen Moore, two film stars.
