Hairstyles

Hairstyles come, and hairstyles go, but they do follow a pattern.  Straight or minimalist hair, then add a little body to get it wavy, then go all out and pouf up that do!  Then back to straight, as girls rebel against poufy hair.

Below we have:

1900s-1910s: big hair, per an ad
1920s: straight (bob) - Louise Brooks
1940s: wavy - Heddy Lamarr
1950s-early 1960s: big hair - Dusty Springfield
Late 1960s-early 1970s: straight hair (at Woodstock)
Late 1970s-early 1980s: wavy hair (the flip) - Farrah Fawcett {and more facial hair for men, a la Frank Zappa}
Late 1980s-early 1990s: poufy hair - Madonna
Late 1990s-mid 2000s: straight hair - Jennifer Aniston
Late 2000s-2010s: wavy hair - Katy Perry {and heavy facial hair for men, a la Zach Gallifinakis or Casey Abrams}


The prediction for 2020?  Big poufy hair again!
