1. Bouffant
Bouffant hairstyles were actually started in the 1700s! However, they became popular again in the 1960s. The hair is rounded up on top of the head. Even First Ladies in this time period wore this hairstyle.
2. Beehive
Similar to the bouffant, the beehive hairstyle involves piling all of your hair on top of your head. However, you do so in a beehive shape. This hairstyle was also popular in the ’60s.
3. Shingle Bob
Bob haircuts are still around. They involve cutting the hair higher than shoulder length. The shingle bob was popular in the 1920s and involved sharp, short bangs and a short bob haircut.
4. Victory Rolls
Victory Rolls are curls on the sides of the face. They were started in the ’40s during WWII and are often worn by pinup girls.
5. Gibson Girl
While many people still wear The Gibson Girl, it isn’t considered beautiful anymore. This look exists of basically piling your hair messily on top of your head. The look was based on illustrations from the 1800s by Charles Dana Gibson.
6. Sausage Curls
Instead of loose curls, sausage curls were tight, vertical curls. This hairstyle was popular in the 1800s and again in the early 1900s.
7. Short Finger Waves
Women wore their short hair wavy in the 1920s and ’30s. They often wore it with a headband. You don’t see this hairstyle as much anymore, except perhaps on Halloween.
