Lots of fun here with hair and fashion. This is an 80's scenario all the way. Crazy colorful hairdo and clothes. The colors in the lolly pop are the inspiration for this fun and sassy beachwear scene. Bright yellows, pinks, teal, and patterns like polka dots adorn these two sunbathing beauties.

Elegant updos seem to be the preferred prom hairstyle for most young women. Here is an example of one that is quite different and unusual. This gal has fairly long fine blonde hair that is styled into a ponytail that starts from the forehead, has sections wound around itself, and is secured down the top of the head to the back to resemble a mane. The sides are slicked back for a touch of glamour.

Men's hairstyles in the 1920's were simple yet very classic and masculine.

1920's men's hairstyle

 Hair was generally slicked back for formal or dressy occasions. The top layers were left longer, but they were combed back and greased with tonic to provide a sophisticated look.

Here is a great picture showing hairstyle ideas for brides and bridesmaids. We can see that the wedding party can look fabulous even with each girl sporting her own sense of style. The bride herself is wearing hers pulled up into a traditional updo with a jeweled accessory that resembles a crown. The others have anything from a short bob to spiral curls. The colors here are black, white, and red.

Angled bobs are very popular right now and work will for those women with medium to fine texture hair. There is some fullness at the crown which can be created with a little root lifter sprayed onto damp hair prior to blow-drying. It is important to concentrate the product near the base of the shaft near the scalp. Use a round or paddle brush and direct air in a downward motion. Touch up with a flat iron to get that sleek and straight look but make sure hair is completely dry first. A little back combing at the crown will help get more lift in this area and then smooth over the top layer. A deep side part with bangs swept to the other side finishes this smash hit.
