Hairstyles of the past

Hairstyles from history have the ability to fill people with nostalgia for the time in-which they were worn. People tend to remember celebrities of the past by the way they stood out from the crowd, which often had a lot to do with their hair.

In the swinging sixties, the bubble or bouffant hairstyle was all the rage. Hair was longer at the top and clipped shorter towards the bottom. This resulted in height at the top of the head and made the wearer appear taller.

One version of the bubble cut, the beehive, was sported by the late singer Amy Winehouse. Women used to wear embellishments in their beehive hairstyle in the form of pins on which artificial jewels or bees were placed. Long, shiny hair was also fashionable. People used to iron their hair to achieve a sleek look. Bear in mind that this was before the invention of conventional straightening irons.

In the seventies, blonde colored hair was well supported as Clairol advertised their range of twelve different shades. Hair was soft and often long. People achieved volume by using large rollers or a round brush while blow-drying their hair. Flicks were seen being sported by many Charlie's Angels lookalikes and hard, sharp looking styles were not fashionable.

The eighties saw a time of power dressing for women. Along with padded shoulders they had smart, definite hairstyles to show they meant business.

The Afro perm was back and variety of hair gels, waxes and mousses became available. Some were tinted so that you could either enhance the shade of your hair or be more outrageous by applying streaks of wild, bright colors.

The Mohawk became fashionable among punk rockers and spikes and sharp looking styles adorned many heads. These were designed to turn others, as astonished onlookers observed the results of hours of homespun hairdressing in front of the bathroom mirror.

Bleached hair came into fashion and sprays that reacted with the sunlight to lighten locks. As a result, many peoples hair became dry and split after such harsh treatments and from chemical overload. Highlights and low-lights were common among men as well as women and perms, particularly tight ones, were all the rage.

Towards the end of the eighties chemist shops were full of hair lotions and potions as do-it-yourself styling took off. Many hair-coloring kits lined shelves and a variety of scrunchies in velvet and hair bobbles were sold.

It is interesting to look back at hairstyles throughout the decades and realize that many popular styles today originated a long time ago. Emo hairstyles, which are as popular as gothic and punk styles of the 80's, bear a striking resemblance to each other. The front of hair is styled to be long and spiky, with a rebellious edge and is often black.

Hairstyles have always been a lot of fun and a great means of self-expression, as they continue to be today.
