Kiss curl

[2] The kiss curl style was worn by both men and women.

[3][4] Other people known for their kiss curls included Josephine Baker,[5] Diana Ross,[6] and Superman.

[7] In early episodes of the TV drama series Agatha Christie's Poirot, Poirot's assistant, Miss Lemon, portrayed by Pauline Moran, appears with five spit curls across her forehead.
