1950's Mom Hairstyle

This is the most charming picture of a young mother holding her baby daughter in the early 1950's.

IMG_4651.mombabyhair

She has a very classic look for this time period with her short brunette hair, red lipstick, and cat eye glasses. The top middle section of her hair is combed forward and then curled under. It is cut super short and straight across at the forehead. The sides are brushed downward into pin curls at ear level so this style is both straight and curly.

You can create this look at home by making two parts for the front section and combing that forward. Roll the bangs under and bobby pin underneath. For the sides, using a small barrel curling iron, put a few curls into the ends on dry hair.

This pretty mommy is holding her baby in her arms and the two of them have their cheeks together for a very endearing show of love.

1980's Feathered Bi-Level Hairstyle

This screams 80's in every way from the bi-level hair to the big pink sunglasses.

img018hairshort

The feathered hair of the 70's was different as it was typically graduated lengths and this style here shows a shift to the "bi-level" which had short sides at ear level while the back was longer. This haircut is shoulder length with full bangs that are textured in a feathered fashion. Strong hold gel and hairspray were used to keep the strands in place.

The swimsuit top is blue and white striped and the sunglasses are pink. Pastels were common as were these shades normally associated with nursery room colors.

The sliding glass door in the background is covered with blue blinds which are horizontal and hung in two panels. This is before verticals were invented. The counter top is butcher block and the walls are plain white.

A favorite backyard pass time in the summer was to lay in the sun and read magazines. Since there were no cell phones or computers or kindles, one had to rely on publications for information.

This second photograph shows a close of of the hair where you can really see the feathered affect which is created with lots of layers.
