Celebrating the Hairstyles That Defined Eras
Welcome to our Yearbook of Iconic Hairstyles! In honor of Women's History Month, join us as we celebrate the evolution of hair—from the elegant 1940s to today's modern trends. Let’s celebrate the beauty and strength of every woman.
The 1940s embodied pure elegance and glamour. Pin-up curls, victory rolls and waves defined this era, reflecting both wartime practicality and a desire for elegance.
In the 1960s, women's hairstyles were a reflection of the bold shift in history that took place at that time. The 60s were all about volume with looks such as beehives and bouffants and of course the infamous hippie movement.
The 1970s were a time period that celebrated boldness, freedom and ultimate femininity. This era challenged norms and redefined style with fearless creativity. From long, sleek styles to voluminous textured looks that featured long feathered layers and shaggy cuts, the 70s were a defining era for hairstyles.
During the era of the 1990s, hairstyles for women reflected various iconic looks ranging from natural textures, bantu knots, braids and cornrows, finger waves and of course curled updos and microwave ponytails. The 90s also introduced crimped hairstyles, which we've quickly seen make a comeback over the last few years.
In the early 2000s, spiky buns and pixie cuts, relaxed bobs, braided hairstyles and the half up, half down style were in. The 2000s introduced a new era of hairstyling, showcasing a rise on the natural hair movement with more women embracing wigs, extensions and other protective styles.
Layers, layers, layers! The 2010s embraced a hair culture of layering your hair extensions and not being afraid to cut them. From full, voluminous bouncy curls with defined layers, showcasing the depth of each length, layers were an absolute must in the 2010s.
Today's modern day YummyGirl defines the true meaning of beauty, fearlessness, determination and resilience. The hairstyles of the 2020s represent class, timelessness, beauty and effortless hair. From long, wavy middle parts, to subtle hues of color, the 2020s reign supreme for current hair eras.
