The name derived from the group's rebellious custom of wearing their hair closely cropped (bowl-cut) round the head or flat. This fashion originated among the Puritans as an obvious contrast between them and the men of courtly fashion, who wore long ringlets. Ironically, most of the Parliamentarian leaders, including Oliver Cromwell, wore their hair long, but were known as Roundheads none the less.
