The 1950s was a time of change all over the world. The 1950s saw the end of a war and the birth of the original King of Rock and Roll. The war was over and the new optimism put a spring in the step of young people. Incidentally, it put a spring in their hair as well. Curly hairstyles dominated 1950s hairstyles and fashion, and most young women wanted naturally curly hair.
1950s hairstyles were all about curls and swirls, whether they were framing the faces of young girls or giving a busy housewife's cropped cut some flair. The 1950s represented the reign of the poodle skirt and ponytail. This ponytail was often accented around the face with shorter layered sections of bangs that were styled into spit curls. Interestingly, there were no protected rubber bands like we use today, and girls' rubber band ponytails wreaked havoc on their hair.
Housewives' hairstyles were cropped shorter and shorter, in a pixie cut that framed the face in little curls. Cropped bangs were all the rage for mothers and teenagers alike. A popular goal of 1950s hairstyling was to give the appearance that a lady had naturally curly hair. Teenage girls popularized a hairstyle that consisted of short layers and waves, with brush curls accenting the bottom and sides of the do. This 1950s hairstyle was accented by short rounded bangs on top.
Another interesting 1950s hairstyle innovation was bleaching the hair with Ivory Snow Flake detergent and peroxide. The hair processing did not stop here, however. Perms were alive and thriving among 1950s hairstyles. How can we forget the poodle: the hairstyle where women and young ladies cropped their hair a few inches from their head, followed by a perm? This 1950s hairstyle gave the look of. you guessed it, the poodle! The perm of the 1950s was a lot harsher than we enjoy today, and it used ammonia and cause a lot of damage to the hair. Young ladies also tried to dye their hair to match their favourite celebrities. Orange hair and strawberry blond hair were quite fashionable at the time.
