Famous Hairstyles
What reflects our times better than our hairstyles. For hundreds of years, hairstyles have changed according to what was happening in social circles.  The one consistency has been that the hairstyles that were worn by icons of popular culture symbolized what was thought to be the ideal. In the early 1900’s wealthy women set the standard of wearing hair jewels and hats with veils and lace. Antoine of Paris created a look of hair parted in middle and swept back in smooth bands over the ears. In 1907 the Marcel wave swept the United States and Europe. In 1910 American nurses in Europe cut their hair short to avoid a flea infestation and the women in America began to cut their hair short for fashion. The Louise Brooks’s bob became the popular hairstyle in the 1920’s as women began to express their freedom.  In 1931 Jean Harlow starred in the movie “Platinum Blonde.” This hair color then swept the nation. Also in the 1930’s, Shirley Temple’s ringlet curls had women of all ages pinning their own hair into tight curls. During the 1960’s people were letting their hair down and the rock group The Beatles, wore their hair long. See if you can match the hairstyle to the celebrity, there is a time limit. Just drag the hair over to the "star" and connect.
