Hairstyles

The bob haircut emerged on the fashion scene in the United States in the mid 1920’s, after first being introduced in France. Prior to the 1920’s, during the Victorian Era, the popular look for women was referred to as “The Gibson Girl”. This look consisted of long dresses with bustles, long sleeves and high necklines. The hair was long but piled on the top of the head with curls and capped off with a hat. The Flapper Era brought about many changes for women, including not only hairstyles but also emancipation of sorts. Women were given the right to vote, smoked in public, wore red lipstick, raised their hemlines and worked in the factories during wartime. Women realized they needed an easier hairstyle to go along with their busier lives. To celebrate their emancipation they opted to “bob” their hair. Although not documented, it was said that the haircut was named after the first barber to cut the style. The basic bob cut was short , boylike, and cut to chin length.
