Probably comes from skinhead culture. This is the reason for the baldness Wikipedia has:

For instance, the defining skinhead short haircut mostly emerged in reaction to the perceived shift in men's styles away from traditional masculinity, which was embodied by the "middle-class, peace-loving, long-haired student" of the hippie movement.[1]
