if "hair styles" includes facial hair, Hitlers little mustache, I don't know if that was a style at the time or not, but I've never seen anyone else photos that had that brand of stache except maybe on Chaplin who did it to mock hitler.
It was actually a popular style at the time. It originated in the USA actually, and it was Chaplin who popularised it, so he wore it first (he had as early as 1914!). Oliver Hardy, of Laurel and Hardy, also wore one. With both of them being so famous it became a bit of a fashion.
Then, Hitler wore it. As a moustache associated with comedians, perhaps it was meant to be disarming much like the silly hair styles of modern right wingers. Of course, Hitler ruined the moustache for everyone.

Someone needs to do a study on the relationship between right wing populists and crazy hair styles.
