What is your favorite decade of hair?

1920s - This was a decade for bobbed hair and smoking in public, not to mention showing your knees. Body styles were thin and curveless with streamlined hats and hairstyles. The hair came off and styles were short or pulled back with ringlets on the forehead and ears.


1950s - Youthful. Glamorous. The essential aspiration was to look like a domestic goddess, one who effortlessly did household work despite looking like a diva. Among the most popular hairstyles of the time was the poodle cut which framee the face in a round fashion offering it an youthful demeanor.

In the early part of the fifties, ponytail was the most popular hairstyle.


1960s
Many of the 1960s hairstyles were in transition from the big hair of the 1950s and headed towards the frizzy and out of control look of the hippie age. Before the onset of the hippie stage which occurs at the end of the 1960s the beehive was incredibly popular look for women.

1970s
If you think about the 1970’s hairstyles, the one name that springs to mind is Farrah Fawcett Major. She was the one who made the feathered look a style statement.

Long and straight were the catchwords in the seventies hairstyles. In fact, women in the 70’s would go to great lengths to create that long and straight look. Since they did not have straightening irons, women would actually use a regular iron to straighten out their hair. They would take turns to iron each other’s hair, little by little, taking care not to singe the hair.

There were plenty of hairstyles that were famous in the seventies, two of them being the Afro and the Shag.

1980s
Bangs that reached for the heavens with frizzy passion, to the extremely asymmetrical new wave social hair statement, to the funky side ponytails walking hair-in-hair with the mullets, hairstyles in the 1980s were about excess, experimentation, and plenty of hairspray.
