The 1920s was a decade marked by scandal, glamour, and change. Their iconic flapper women ripped open corsets, raised skirt and gown hemlines, and wore short and sleek hair.
Popular Haircuts
Popular ear-level cuts included the shingle bob or Eton crop. Longer-haired ladies used Marcel waves or gathered their locks into low buns.
Faux Bob
Women seeking the 1920s bob hairstyle without cutting their long locks often created faux bob styles, which look great on both long and medium-length hair.
Soft Waves
Long tresses were left long and wavy or cut short into the fashionable 1920s bob haircut. Longer hairstyles featured loose or pinned-up ringlets adorned with pearls or rhinestones.
Finger Waves
Finger waves, created using your fingertips to mold and shape hair into a zigzag pattern, added an element of glamour to 1920s hairstyles.
Braided Chignon
Women who desired shorter styles would gather their hair into a neat bun or cottage loaf at the base of their neck. Ears-covered hair was often styled into curls or finger waves for a neat appearance.
Side Curls
One of the most iconic 1920s hairstyles was a side-parted shingle bob with two curls flicked forward. This look was popular among dancers and movie stars.
