Men with short hair can channel the classic 1920s glamour style, which includes a side-parted straight bob with slight waves and a Gibson roll at the back. This look works beautifully with any dress and requires little hair gel.
Sleek Bobs
One of the more striking looks from this era was a sleek bob: chin-length hair curled under and usually featuring a fringe. For an authentic 1920s wedding experience, add a tiara with feathers. Or pair this style with a fascinator for an eye-catching feminine aesthetic. Add pin curls near your hairline for additional flair!
Curls and Waves
Flappers were known for wearing their hair in long styles with finger waves to show off their lush locks. Josephine Baker was famous for her elaborate style, which she enhanced by using pin curl gel on the front of her forehead for an accentuating detail.
Innovative Long Locks
1920 was an era of short styles, and some women wanted to try them but needed help to cut their long locks short. Instead, these creative women devised innovative ways of styling long locks into a more straightforward look without deciding to cut. One way was plaiting hair up into an elaborate coil around their ears.
Soft Waves
This 1920s hairstyle offers a more subtle version of the flapper look, perfect for medium-length or thicker locks. It includes a side-parted bob with soft waves that cascade down your neck into a Gibson roll – making this ideal as either a wedding ceremony updo or an evening look with lots of shimmer and shine!
Braided Chignon
Adding 1920s flair to any woman’s hairstyle quickly and effortlessly with a metal hairpin to hold a short, sleek chignon in place is an effortless way of giving them an authentic 1920s aesthetic. Commonly referred to as bobby pins in America, these pins were initially developed for short bobs worn beneath cloche hats. However, they can also be used on longer, curlier locks to create elegant, streamlined styles or use brilliantine to add shine!
Braided Chignons
Braided chignons make stunning statements at special events and can easily be created in moments, adding extra drama with jeweled or other elaborate hair clips tucked inside the braids. This 1920s-inspired hairstyle can work on medium or thicker hair and looks particularly lovely on bobs with finger or kiss curls.
