In this video Vanity Fair documents, the most extreme hairstyles over the years. Most of the hairstyles displayed are on the rebellious side of the spectrum. They are the out of the box styles that were not very approved by the general public. It is important to note these hairstyles because though the people who wore them were comfortable in their own bodies, they were rejected by society because they were “different” or “unprofessional.” People with these hairstyles/haircuts would most likely have to get jobs that were put down by society or disregarded because they were not of popular opinion. It was unjust of society to judge them based on their appearance.

I found this picture intriguing because it is showing the evolution of bangs through the years. We all know that bangs have come in and out of style over the years. I like that the image gives a little description of a piece of the history of bangs, with images of known woman over the years. I think that every woman at some point in their lives should have bangs, sort of like a right of passage. Yes, most bangs are either not done right or do not suit the face shape of the woman wearing them.

While looking for information on this topic, I came across this very interesting Pinterest Board. The board includes images of hairstyles over 30,000 years. I found it very interesting because it has various vintage images of men and women, it has portraits, drawings, and statues. The other thing I found interesting was that they had images of the tools and techniques that were used to achieve these hairstyles. It was very interesting to take in all the different styles and steps they had to take to look the way they did.

Hairstyles, hats, hair ornaments of all kinds...some styles (like braiding) going back as far as 30,000 years. Roman hairstyles were very complicated. 16th century women wore their hair in more ornate styles. In the latter 15th century a very high hairline was considered attractive. Men's hairstyles have changed through the centuries too...

This video displays the different hairstyles of men in the United States over the years. These hairstyles are the most popular of each decade. They range from short to long, as well as the change of preferences of facial hair. Some decades prefer a man clean shaven, while others like full facial hair. In today’s day and age, we do not discriminate a man if he does or does not have facial hair. Though working in an office however you have your hair, head or facial, a male must have a clean appearance, properly groomed in a professional manner.

I found this great website that describes the history of hair across the world through many, many years. It is very interesting to read about the different cultures and what their “social norms” were in those years. For example, how the Japanese wore their long hair down as a symbol of beauty.

1940s Hairstyles

Hair in the 1940s was all about the soft waves and careful curls, and found a balance between glamorous and practical. Hair tended to be cut in a U-shape, and at a medium length - long enough to be feminine and versatile, but short enough that it could be pinned up in various ways. Hair was permed, pinned, rolled, and curled, and frequently accessorised with hats, headscarves, ribbons, snoods, hairnets, grips and combs. Pompadours and victory rolls were particularly popular.

During the war, many women took on labour-intensive jobs working on farms, and in factories. This contributed to the popularity of shorter hairstyles - particularly towards the end of the decade - as long hair was deemed a safety hazard.

1950s Hairstyle

The "Rockin' 50s" as many fondly refer to it, saw a surge in the diversity of hairstyles, with post-war prosperity and the appeal of Hollywood glamour playing a large role in the rise of flamboyance and experimentation among current fashions of the time. The wavy/curly medium cut was a nod to the previous decade, while the emergence of the short, curly and classy "Italian haircut" (pictured), and the rise in popularity of the ponytail - favored by teens especially - are both examples of a classic 50s look. The increase in more voluminous hairstyles alluded to the emblematic craze of the decade to come.

1960s Hairstyle

With the 1960s came the development of some of the most recognizable female hairstyles of the 20th century. There were several distinctive styles which occurred within this decade; the Bouffant (pictured); the beehive - which is still sometimes seen on formal occasions such as weddings and a-list events; and the classic 60s bob. Despite their unique differences, these hairstyles had many characteristics in common - comic volume, a sleek, rounded shape, and the distinguishing curls at the ends of the hair, either flipped up (see photo), or smoothly curved under. Bangs and fringes were very popular, as were wigs, bold accessories, headscarves and fake hair pieces which were often used to create the illusion of thicker hair. Towards the end of the 1960s, longer hair became a lot more common as a result of the Hippie subculture, which blossomed in the mid sixties and embraced a more carefree and natural approach to life.

1970s Hairstyles

The 1970s was certainly the era of " Disco hair ", with the immense popularity of Farrah Fawcett's flicked-back feathered style (pictured), which would eventually become the signature look for the seventies, beloved by both teenagers and adults.

The seventies was also a big time for the afro, which was popular among the African-American community in particular, and eventually became as much of a fashion trend as a political statement, with both male and female African-Americans using the afro to endorse the nature of their natural hair as a symbol of black pride and self-empowerment. The ' centre part' is another style which also had its moment during the seventies.

1980s Hairstyle

The 1980s was all about the big perm, blunt cut and heavily teased fringe - the bigger the better. The following of heavy rock bands and punk subculture contributed to a flurry of rebellious and outrageous hairstyles, which also included the mohawk and mullet.

Red-dyed hair was very popular among young women of the time, with burgundy and plum shades in high demand during the eighties. The side ponytail was common among young girl of the time, and was often accessorized with coloured scrunchies. Big bows and coloured combs (known as "banana clips) were all the rage, making the 80s an era of some of the most colourful hairstyles.

1990s Hairstyle

Grunge culture, Hollywood and hip-hop were all instrumental influences on hair trends of the 1990s. The rebellious edge of the 80s was still evident, but somewhat more understated, with grunge and post-punk movements contributing to the presence of short and spiky hairstyles on females. Hip-hop culture undoubtable played a role in popularity of cornrows, worn by both males and females of assorted ethnicities. Mini-buns, better known today as "space buns" also had their moment, as well as major nineties fad " The Rachel ", sported famously by Jennifer Aniston (pictured). Other similar "flippy" bobs found their mojo in the nineties.

2000s Hairstyles

Hair in early 2000s, or "noughties" varied in length and was for the most part straight although loose curls and " beachy waves" have had their moment too. The early 2000s saw a distinct rise in the popularity of softly blended highlights and thick, chunky foils. The somewhat novel idea of choosing a hairstyle based on what flatters your own facial characteristics and complexion rather than current trends contributed to the wider diversity in styles, colours and cuts which we saw in the noughties.

This video showcases different hairstyles in the United States over 100 years. While you watch the model’s appearance changes for each of the years as the hairstylist remakes iconic looks from each decade. Each decade indicates an important time in history as women were required to look a certain way due to society’s expectations. For example, for during the 20s and 30s women wore their hair up, having or looking to have shorter hair. From the 90s to today, women usually wear their hair down, having longer hair. These styles are based on the standards in the United States, which correlate with standards that we have in Canada.
