Explanation
During World War II, many barbers were enlisted into military service, which led to a shortage of barbers in civilian life. As a result, men started to wear shorter hairstyles that were easier to maintain without regular barber visits. The flat top, butch, crew cut, and Princeton cut became popular choices during this time, as they were simple and required minimal grooming. This shift towards shorter hair can be attributed to the impact of World War II on the availability of barbers.
