1950s Glamour Hairstyles

The 1950s are looked to as a time of retro glamour. While it may not have actually been a large part of the 1950s, there was more of an emphasis on dressing up in general, even in everyday life. Nightlife was also more glamourous. The trend of hairstyles in the 1950s was hair that was shoulder-length and shorter. Most women wore their hair in waves and curls, utilizing pin-curls.


Short and Wavy


Short and wavy hair is a glamourous hairstyle that was popular in the 1950s. It's classic, and you can dress it up or down. The hair should be cut to an inch or two below your chin but can be a bit shorter. You can either put your hair into big waves or even big curls. Use hot rollers or curling irons to create the waves or curls. They should not be too tight and not have too much product on them.


Updo


An elegant 1950s hairstyle is an updo with curly bangs. In the 1950s, women used strong hair gel to hold hair in the updo. To create the waves and volume for the updo, use hot rollers or wear standard rollers overnight. Once you have done that, create the updo, and hold it into place with bobby pins and decorative clips. Curl your bangs and any pieces of hair that will be framing your face. They should be defined curls.


Partial Updo


A partial updo is an easy and glamourous hairstyle that was popular in the 1950s. You can create this look on just about any length of hair, longer than chin length at minimum but looks best on longer hair. You will need to curl your hair, again using hot rollers or a curling iron. The curls should be long and cascade down to your shoulders and down your back. Use a curling iron to roll your bangs under, which makes them look very short, even if they aren't. Add a ribbon or bow to your hair to complete the look.
