The 50s were a time of happy days and simple life as see here with this woman who is fishing on the river and sporting short curly hair and white cat-eye sunglasses. This decade was still very conservative compared to the days to come. Females often wore easy care permed styles that were generally parted on the side and easily styled.

Pretty loose spiral waves look fabulous on this young model. She has golden blonde locks and a side part that extends back about 2 inches and then the rear portion of the hair is back combed for lift and height. The top portion is smoothed over and brushed back. The spirals have a piecey look which can be accomplished with a defining product. Sections of dry hair can be wound around the outside of a curling iron to get this style.

The 1980s were a time of "dress for success." Conservative business wear was in for the career minded. Hairstyles for these types followed suit with short clean looking hair for women. This gal has a version of a wedge but is bi-level. The sides are cut shorter than her ears and the back is longer down the neck. This is a straight style with bangs that are brushed to the side. Also, asymmetry is present here with one side being cut shorter.
The wedge was a popular 70s style that was said to have started with Dorothy Hamil.

Haircuts that simply fall into place make styling easy and this bob hairstyle is cute as well. Those with fine textured hair may find a style like this to be ideal as the short length and cut help to make the locks look thicker. This young woman has long bangs that are clipped at an angle and are brushed to one side. Hair is basically snipped just above the shoulder and just a little layering around the bottom gives some movement. This is a straight style that requires very minimum effort. A paddle brush and a blow-dryer is about all you would need.

Women of the 1940's often wore their hair rolled (victory rolls) in one manner or another as we can see here in this photo taken in about 1946. This post WWII era was a time when hairstyles were really beginning to follow the trends of Hollywood stars. These were the days prior to modern amenities such as blow-dryers and curling irons, so it was necessary to be resourceful. Washing of the hair usually happened at night and then sections were wound around rollers and slept on overnight, or strands were coiled around the finger to form pin curls and secured with bobby pins. This is how women of that time acquired body and bounce and a foundation to create these now vintage hairdos. In the morning, styling began with removal of all apparatus. Then the locks were brushed and coaxed into place. This young gal has a side part and the bangs are rolled back and around and pinned. The side is pulled back and anchored behind the ear with the back left down to touch the collar.
This is a picture of my Aunt whom I never was fortunate enough to meet as she died at an early age.
