If a little vintage is in order, take a look at this picture of a 1920's woman with a short bob with side swept bangs and curly ends.
The part is placed way over to one side and the top is swooped over. The curls are big a puffy but just concentrated on the bottom third and the rest is smooth and straight. The length is just below ear level and up off of the shoulder. Pin curls were most likely used to create the look on the sides.
Here is a modern, yet classy, yet vintage 40s look that is perfect for a woman who is in touch with her feminine side. This gal has cascading waves and very dark brown hair with a side part and is bang-less. Her very fair skin is a nice contrast to her almost black mane and red lipstick. Her dress is reminiscent of days gone by as well.

If you have an oval face, you can wear most hairstyles, but here is a cute vintage option that brings width to the face. This lovely woman has a style that is reminiscent of the 1920's Marcel wave. Her hair is chin length and full of soft finger waves. There is a side part and bangs are combed across the top of the forehead and styled with twists that turn back and forth for a true old fashioned appeal. Her dark blonde mane is sprinkled with lighter highlights and a touch of pink to add a trendy spunk.

Teenagers in the 1950s generally dressed in simple styles and had easy care hairstyles like this one here in this picture of a young girl with a pixie cut.
She has short bangs and the sides are cut just about mid ear. This is similar to a boy's bowl cut with graduated lengths and a textured look. The locks are straight which adds to the simplicity. She is wearing a white dress that has a fitted bodice and full skirt that hits just above the ankle. She is wearing white pumps.

Here is a funny 70s picture of a pre-teen sporting a typical hairstyle for that time as well as an example of some of the fashions for that time. A long granny style skirt that looks like a bedspread and the top looks like something from the 1800's with puffy short sleeves and gathered round neck. Obviously shoes were an after thought as blue and red tennis shoes are hardly appropriate but comfortable. This 12 year old's hair is long and straight and parted on the side with a clip holding the bangs over to the side. Using clips was very popular in the early 1970s to hold the hair out of the eyes as no-style hairstyles were cool during this time. Notice the furnishings like the television on the right (that had no remote as children were the channel changers) and the early American decor. The carpet and curtains were a brownish gold color.
