Top 100 Hairstyles For Girls Biography

With so many ways to mark the years gone by, I thought it would be fun to do it with hairstyles. Of course, many of the older haircuts are still here with us today, but I thought it might be interesting to read how old they are and where their roots are from. I’ve also included a handy little translation for our British friends of some of the terminology used.

A look very popular with the ladies during the Roaring 20s. It was part of an overall look known as “The Flapper”, where the girl would crop their hair between their chin to their ear level and work in uniform waves. This became immensely popular due to celebrity such as Zelda Fitzgerald and Colleen Moore.

The more respectable of the two hairstyles famous in the ‘50s, the pompadour was created by combing the hair against the sides, but pulling the hair up and over on itself on top. This look was more popular with celebrities in the era, like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.

Take one “wrong side of the tracks” gentleman. Leave some hair long around the neck and apply generous helpings of hair grease. Give the gentleman a comb and watch as he obsessively combs the sides flat and back and leaves the top piled high. The top was either left in disarray, symbolizing the “greasers” role in society, or combed into a tube that was called “the elephant’s nose”. Why settle for looking like one ridiculous animal when you can have two!

Popularized by actress Audrey Hepburn, it is a very short hairstyle with even shorter bangs (fringe). It resembled what pixies were drawn to have as a hairstyle.

Nothing says “big hair” like a beehive. Women sported this “hair-don’t” by teasing their hair up with plenty of hairspray, usually in a tall, dome shape that mimicked a beehive. Also known in the southern United States as “the B-52”, it inspired a band from Georgia to name themselves after it and create some zany music.

Made famous by the Beatles in a time when men still kept their hair short. It’s pretty much any cut that’s grown out and messy. If you were a pop idol in the ‘60’s, women would love whatever you did to your hair.

Generally, any haircut that’s piled high on top of the head. The aforementioned beehive hairstyle is a bouffant style. Actual types of bouffants can range from Tracey Turnblad from Hairspray to Kramer from Seinfeld.

A hairstyle sported largely by African-Americans, but also by other ethnic groups and people with very curly hair. The style maintains that curly hair is grown and brushed out to create a perfect halo of hair surrounding the head. It was popularized by the “Black is Beautiful” movement and by icons such as Jimi Hendrix. The Isro is the Jewish-American version of this hairstyle.

Another style of hair popularized during the “Black is Beautiful” movement, corn rows allowed the wearer an alternative to the afro. The hair would be braided tightly to the scalp, usually in rows from front to back, and secured with elastic bands.

Associated with the Rastafarian movement, the dreadlock hairstyle involves sectioning the hair into locks and growing it as long as it can go. It began in the 1950s in Jamaica and reached America around the time reggae music became popular. This style was sported by celebrities like Bob Marley
