Here is a photograph of some real 1940's hairstyles. My father is the man on the right and he is posing with his merchant marine buddy in this picture. The two of them have found a couple of gals to pose with them. The women are sporting typical 1940's style with their wavy hairstyles. The woman on the right is donning an interesting hair piece.
Hairstyles trends for today are certainly obtaining some inspiration from days gone by. Wavy hairstyles are once again popular as well as the use of hair accessories. These women both have feminine waves while the woman on the left has shorter hair, but they both have pulled the front and sides of their hair back with a rolled effect.
The influence of Hollywood stars during WWII had women opting for glamorous and feminine hairstyles. Notice their dark red lips. Even though this photo is black and white, one can tell that their lips had to be red.
