An interesting retrospect on some of the hair styles of the last 100 years.

[b]1900's[/b]
This decade saw a transition in hairstyles, from the more confined styles of the Victorian era to looser, fuller hairstyles. Curiously, both long and short styles were popular, with longer, free-flowing hair slowly gaining more converts as the decade progressed. Volume was the theme that ran through most of the popular hairstyles, regardless of hair length. Longer hairstyles featured hair parted in the middle (with a noticeable part), and long wavy tresses hanging below the shoulders. Shorter hairstyles generally began around the ears and 'poofed' up over the head in several updo styles, often held in place with barrettes and adorned with bows, or large, wide hats.

The Gibson Girl hairstyle circa 1900:

Evelyn Nesbit, in this photograph taken in 1901, has some of her wavy hair swept up to the top of her head, with the rest of her hair flowing past her shoulders in curling tendrils.

Topknot hairstyles circa 1900 - 1906:

Hair Styles of the Last 100 Years - 1910's - 1920's

[CENTER][b]1910's[/b]
During the early 1910's, styles were long hair either pinned up elaborately or flowing and wavy. Popular accessories were big bows, jeweled pins, headbands, often adorned with fancy beads and stitch-work designs, and hats.

During the mid-1910's, Irene Castle's "bob" hairstyle was becoming very popular, a trend that would explode and be very controversial in the 1920's.

One hairstyle that gained a lot of popularity (and some notoriety) was called "curtain hair." This entailed parting short hairstyles down the middle, then letting the hair fall across a headband worn around the middle of the head, just above the ears. For more elegant hairstyles, women often constructed ringlet curls all along the headband.

[b]1920's[/b]
The 1920's saw the raging popularity of the bob. Sleek short or wavy bob cuts, Eton crops, heavy fringes, waves, kiss curls, headbands, floppy bows, feathers.

Hair Styles of the Last 100 Years - 1970's

[CENTER][b]1970's[/b]
70's styles tended to be more natural and got away from using accessories popularized in the 50's and 60's. Flick fringes, layers, center partings, braids, crimping, the shaggy layer cut, crazy colours, spiky gelled hair, the 'gypsy' cut, flicks and off-the-face curls.
Early 70's Looks:
