Hairstyles of the 20th century: a selection of photos of women of fashion of that time and instructions for recreating such images

The last century was very changeable. For these hundred years in the life of mankind there have been more events than in the previous centuries. Particularly surprising is the speed with which progress has developed. Perhaps, that is why the fashion so quickly and radically changed. Hairstyles of the 20th century changed several turns of development. This is discussed in detail in our article.

Princesses on beans

For the beginning of the last century, the most characteristic was the hairdo "bean".She looked like this:

This was a very sharp transition to short female haircuts. Fashion, as always, came from Paris. She quickly captured the whole world. Accelerated the process of switching to hairstyles, close to the male, First World.

Men in the first and second decades wore long mustaches and short hairstyles.

The changes continue

But with the arrival of 20 years, the strong sex switched to a licked - in the literal sense of the word - image: their hairstyles( quite a bit longer than in the past decade) were smoothly slicked, and faces clean shaven.

The images of women of that decade are incredibly popular today. The whole fault is the adaptation of the famous novel "The Great Gatsby", in which the story of life from those times is narrated.

Also fashionable were such hairstyles:

Under the power of the chemistry of

, the 30s were marked by some extension of the female hairstyle and the final popularization of the chemical wave. The last fact was directly related to the technical progress: the curling machines were improved, which made it more accessible. Trace the fashion trends, we can by the photo of the famous actresses of the time: Gene Harlow and Marlene Dietrich. In men's hairstyles, no special changes were observed. Only in the image of Clark Gable you can see a wave that is characteristic for women's hairstyles of the past decade.

By the way, actress Jean Harlow has introduced fashion to platinum blondes. She was the first in the history to appear in public with this hair color, after which he began to repeat fashionable women in different parts of the world.

Do as Vivienne

In the early 40s, all women who were not seized by the horrors of World War II began to copy the image of the heroine of the novel "Gone with the Wind" by Scarlett O'Hara, recreated on the screens of the brilliant actress Vivien Leigh.

Another iconic figure in the fashion of the 40's is the Hollywood star Rita Hayworth. Her famous asymmetrical hairstyle with curls became a symbol of "the spirit of Old Hollywood."

Of course, we all remember the terrible times that many countries, and in particular ours, experienced then. But fashion continued to develop then. It is true that beauty will save the world!

This Pin-Up, baby!

History rushed forward, and fashion continued to change. It's time for deliberate sexuality, praised everywhere, even in the advertising of Coca-Cola.

Supported this fashion at the peak of Marilyn Monroe - a symbol of the style of his era.

So began the boom called Pin-Up. It was, you could say, a whole subculture for girls: they dressed up and combed in a certain way, their way of behavior was reduced to one - to exude love.

Baby Holly is driving the crazy

60's also marked with different fashionable hits. The first is the ultrashort hairstyles that followed the appearance of such an image from the Twiggy model.

The second explosion of imitations caused the image of Audrey Hepburn in the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany."Her Holly, dressed in an elegant black dress on the floor, wore long hair with a very short bangs. The invariable hairstyle of a beauty is the highly gathered hair, underlined by a miniature diadem.

All this image in general and the hairstyle in particular are still beloved by women of fashion all over the world, and in Russia - not to a lesser extent.

Time slows down the run

Then the fashion changed is not so radical. In the 70's, everyone was crazy about the long, perfectly smooth hair of the same length that Cher wore.

In the 80's Sarah Jessica Parker started her career in Hollywood, and now the object of universal adoration is her luxurious curls.

And in the 90's the series "Friends" was released, and all the girls imitate Monica and Rachel.

The man's fashion is set by Kurt Cobain.

It's fashionable to repeat retro hairstyles. We repeatedly repeat hairstyles in the style of different epochs of the 20th century.
