For a woman to cut her hair short in the early 20th century was a serious matter.
Especially considering that in previous years women used to add extra hair to make it look more voluminous, more lush.
Bob and vang, even today, is one of the most difficult technical hairstyles, but you will hardly see girls choosing such a look of today!
Style vang, close to the skull. Hair without particular volumes. The hairstyle is done on wet hair.
Wet vang Bob!
Here we have the prevalence of the then known curling fluid, a very popular setting lotion of the time, but don’t look for it!
You won’t find her today…
Marcel waving, Water waves, Pin or Spit curling
We still see in the past 3 kinds of techniques for curling.
First we have Marcel waving, the most famous curling technique of the 20s.
Tongs were heated, passed through paper and applied to dry hair.
Then we have the Water waves.
Tweezers or combs with teeth, pass through wet hair.
Here we have the use of curling fluid.
Finally, the Pin or Spit curling.
This kind of technique does not damage the hair, but the curls lasted longer.
This method is applied to dry and wet hair.
Today…
What is happening today?
Quick easy techniques with heating tools make our job easier.
But it is ideal to know techniques of the past, because these are our bases.
Today, even the hairdryer takes a back seat, as young children don’t know how to use it. They choose to go the easy way, but it is knowledge that always leads the way!
My suggestion:
✋Starting from the beginning
👌One step at a time
👍Don’t go to the second step when you don’t know the first one well
🙄Why? 🧐Because then you feel strength and not insecurity.
The evolution
Craftsmen hairdressers of the 1920s showed us the way…
Today we, a century later, must teach evolution and beauty, because we are the evolution of the human species.
The evolution of life!
