Hair styles, techniques, colors, etc. have been evolving since the early 1900’s! Beauty
overall is constantly evolving and it’s up to us to keep up!
The 1910’s
For the early years of the 20th century, the Gibson Girl hairstyle was the one most popular
amongst women of the middle and upper classes. The first decade of the 20th century is characterized by
the transition from confined styles to looser top knots often held in place with barrettes and bows.
The 1920’s
The Jazz decade saw the first bobs ever. Irene Castle is responsible for creating a trend that would
become a staple of the golden years. There were other varieties of bob styles that developed throughout
the decade, but it was the short bob with straight bangs and curled sides that really stood out from the rest.
Another famous actress that styled her hair in a super short bob was Louise Brooks. She managed to
accentuate this hairstyle by adding feminine touches such as headbands, beads, hats, and even feathers
attached to a hairband.
