1920′s Vintage Hairstyles
During 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. While bobbed hairstyles of the early 1920′s were very plain, they were transformed with beautiful curls and waves by the late 1920′s into stylish and feminine bobs that endured into the 1930′s. Due to their increasing sophistication, bobbed hairstyles increased in popularity through the late 1920′s and early 1930′s. Some of the more popular and attractive shorter womens hair styles from the 1920′s and 1930′s are currently experiencing a revival as modern hair stylists look back in time for fresh ideas and inspiration from the innovative and beautiful short hairstyles of this trend setting era.
The most popular hairstyles of the nineteen twenties included the bob, marcel wave, finger wave, and shingle, all of which came with numerous 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.
1920′s movie stars and other celebrities were early adopters of the new shorter styles. Their celebrity status ensured that that the new styles received maximum publicity and in turn were eagerly copied by their 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.
Short hairstyles became increasingly popular as the 1920′s progressed, with long hair giving way to the new hair fashions. Bobbed hairstyles were considered extremely radical and unattractive by many to begin with but young women and middle aged women embraced the style in increasing numbers. Sophisticated cuts including shingling were used to create attractive bobs that featured waves and curls to soften and enhance the styling. These later stylish bobs continued to be popular well into the 1930′s defying hairdressing critics who had predicted the bob would be a short-term fad that would only last a year or two at most. As it turned out, the huge popularity of bobbed hairstyles for women became a major revolution in womens hairstyling.
