1950s girl

This black and white photo shows a grade school age gal wearing a headband with a woven design. This accessory was often used to hold the hair back and away from the face. She has wavy brown locks that are short and cut above the shoulder. She was probably dressed in her Sunday best on this day.

Cameron and her side swept bob pose for a shot at the "What to Expect When You're Expecting" Los Angeles Premier!

Cameron Diaz

This is a short and straight hairstyle but the bottom edge has a razor cut appearance and a fringy effect. Her long bangs are brushed to the side from a deep set part. Her hair color medium brown with several shades of highlights for a chunky appeal including bleach blonde. A vent brush and hairdryer can help with the styling of this one while lifting from the scalp and brushing through. The ends can be scrunched with the fingers while still wet to add a bit of a bend to the strands.

This young woman is posing for a promotional shot behind the film counter. This is an actual vintage photo from circa 1953.

Woman at Work

She has short bangs that have been pin curled into place. The sides are curled toward the back and bobby pinned into place above the ear. She has a side part and medium brown hair that is cut short in the back. Women of this era usually did their styling at night with wet hair and then in the morning combed it into place. This gal has very fine hair which meant that keeping it short helped to prevent it from looking too thin.

This short hairstyle looks awesome with a cap and gown and is sure to turn some heads at the graduation ceremony.

Young Black Woman

This lovely young woman has straight hair ( a good salon relaxer treatment can help to create a smooth texture like this one ) that is cut just below ear level with the strands on the back of neck being slightly longer. She has full bangs that are gently brushed to the side on the ends. One side is longer than the other for an asymmetrical appeal. Her black cap with blue tassel is placed back on the crown and held in place in bobby pins. Her simple earrings sparkle. Her beautiful smile brings out playful dimples.

If you are looking for a sassy wavy bob in a brunette shade with honey highlights then check out Brenda Strong at the "Desperate Housewives" Season Finale Event.

Brenda Strong

Her bangs are somewhat long and brushed to the sides as they incorporate into the curls/waves. The length is just above shoulder level. Her lovely dangle earrings can be easily seen. A medium curling iron held vertically and twisted toward the back can help to get a style like this one. Working with completely dry hair, create sections and work on one at a time. This is a pretty look for a special occasion or any time really.
