Pin-up hairstyles originally from the 1950s are still worn today.
In the 1950s, "pin-ups" were models or actresses featured in photographs in provocative poses that became iconic to the decade. While pin-up fashion was over the top, hair styles were glamorous and enticing and sometimes copied by everyday women looking for glamor in their daily lives.
Pin-Curls and Finger Waves
Many women in the 1950s, including pin-ups, did not allow their hair to remain straight, and wore their hair in pin curls and finger waves. Those with naturally curly or wavy hair were lucky to have the texture naturally, but women with straight hair had to manipulate their hair with strong products and setting tools. Pin-curls and finger waves were sexy, yet structured, which made them common pin-up styles.
Curled Bob
Some pin-ups wore their hair short and sassy. Famous actresses such as Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly popularized hair chopped short and rolled into a glamorous bob. Many other actresses and pin-up models also adopted this style. Hair was set with rollers to achieve the curled bob that was stiff and structured instead of loose and flowing.
Long Waves and Bangs
Like the curled bob, the long tresses were glamorous and meticulously set. The iconic dark-haired and edgy pin-up model, Bettie Page, wore her hair long and wavy with short, blunt-cut bangs. This retro style can still by seen worn by women today who are inspired by the pin-up style or rockabilly music scene.
