1950's Western Women Hairstyles

I would say that women in the 1950’s had good hairstyles. You mostly see women with short hair than long.

Do not get me wrong I have seen women with long hair, but it was rare since the trend at that time was to have short hair that was curly. I am a full supporter with women with dark brown hair with curls.

I do like that they did not think of women with short hair as portraying too close to be looking like men or that they were copying their hairstyle. It is not a competition at all.

All genders can choose to have their short or long if they wish too. Society did have the image that women with short hair were housewives, medium for young, and long for Hollywood pin ups.

Which I do not think that women should abide by these. I am fond of women having short hair so that there is less to do with it.

I am personally one who likes to keep her hair short as I do not have patience for long hair. When going to salons in the 1950’s it was a lot easier to style or cut someone’s hair since it was so short.

Many women washed and styled their hair quick because of the length they had. Since short hairstyles require you to cut more frequently to keep it’s shape salons got a lot of customers and money.

Lot of people during the 1950’s rarely wore hats since it was advertised to the style and show off your hair. I am sure many stores sold out their hair products especially with hair curlers and hair spray.

I love how women curled their hair in the 50’s. It is having a beach wave vibe to what us in 2020 love to wear.

During this era, many women had poufy and luxurious hair that shined in the light. How earrings complimented the look and can be easily shown since many had short hairstyles.

In having short hair, they did look more mature and older which is not a bad thing. I think it also represented modesty and embracing being and looking like a healthy woman.

I have to say not everyone pulled off the short hairstyle and some did. I think the two who looked the best in short hair was Lucille Ball and Marylin Monroe.

I fully support short hair in women and no they do not look like men at all. In fact, it makes them look more feminine.

Women were Disowned for Having Children Out of Wedlock

  Many women during the 1950’s gave up their children for adoption and it was mostly because of babies being born out of wedlock. Within this time ladies who got pregnant out of wedlock were shamed and disowned by their friends and families. They were considered a disgrace to the family to have a child before marriage. During this era, it was widely judged. Which I can understand why they would be disowned because they could not wait until marriage but on the other hand it happens sometimes. Many women gave up their babies up for adoption had the right to refuse to disclose the identity of the father. Lots of the ladies did choose to tell people who the father was but it was more common that the women refused to tell. Social workers at the time respected these women’s decisions about this situation. I personally have mixed emotions about this topic. I do not think that people should be ashamed for having children out of wedlock but still should be widely influenced to hav

4 Scandalous Outfits in The 50’s!

This TikTok video shows four scandalous outfit styles women wore in during the 1950’s era. Jasmine Chiswell has put together great examples. It is interesting to know that during this time period women wearing tight short shorts was considered clothing that made people talk bad about. How it brought a bad reputation to some by just wearing these shorts. Today many people wear skintight shorts but that is the norm in society. During the 50’s women were to wear modest clothing and look like a presentable housewife. You were not to wear anything that counteracted this image. This representation could be good for some but bad for others if they did not wish to follow this norm. Coned shaped bras are quite strange I have to admit. They are pointy and do accentuate a women’s chest. I can understand where people were coming from when coned bras were labeled as a scandalous piece of clothing. They bring lots of amount of attention to a women’s chest area and could make some feel unco
