 Wings or flows were often seen sported by North American ice hockey players, especially during the 1970s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s.From the early 1970s until it was supplanted by the quiff in the early-1980s, the wings hairstyle was common among teenagers and young men, while those with curly hair wore afros.By the 1990s, however, hair was buzzed short, remaining so for teenagers until the mid-2000s when the wings haircut, together with 1960s inspired vintage clothing, made a comeback among fans of indie pop.
