1920′s Hairstyles
Posted October 31st, 2009 by SpikeDuring the early 1920′s there began a transition from the long-hair styles of the previous decades to the newer short-hair styles like the bob. Although early 1920′s bobbed hairstyles were very plain and straight and almost masculine in style, the bobbed hairstyles of the late 1920′s and early 1930′s were much more stylish and feminine. The stylish bobbed hairstyles of the late nineteen twenties continued their popularity well into the 1930′s. The beautiful short hairstyles of this trend setting era have enjoyed a revival in modern times as hair stylists look back to this period for inspiration.
Popular hairstyles of the 1920′s included the bob, marcel wave, finger waves and shingling and their many different variations. Hairstyles like the Eton Crop were temporary phenomenons that disappeared as fast as they arrived. Barbers and hairdressers competed with each other to get business from women seeking to shed their long hair and obtain the latest hair fashions.
As early adopters of the new shorter hair styles, 1920′s movie stars and other celebrities played a big part in popularizing the new hair fashions through appearances in movies and stage shows, the new hairstyles they sported being eagerly copied by their adoring fans. Permanent Hair-waving or perms, were extremely popular with women looking for a more permanent hair treatment despite the high initial cost when first introduced.
In the 1920′s short hair for women was “in” and rapidly took over from the previously fashionable long hair styles. Although considered extremely radical in the early 1920′s, bobbed hair quickly became the “must have” hairstyle for young girls and young ladies aged in their twenties, the popularity extending to middle-aged women in their thirties and forties. The initial plain bobs were eventually replaced by more stylish and sophisticated bobs that featured waves and curls to add style and interest. These later fashionable bobs continued in popularity well into the early 1930′s defying critics who had predicted the bob would be a short-lived fad that would only survive a year or two at most. In actual fact, the mass migration to bobbed hairstyles turned out to be part of a major revolution in womens hairstyling.
