1950s Hairstyles That Were Popular and Easy

Thoughts on 50's Hairstyles

Hairstyles back in this era were mostly shown of women with short curly hair.

They had big curls that made the volume in their hair rise and looked so shiny as well.

The women put curlers in their hair the night before while it was wet so once they took them out they would have lushish waves on the top of their heads.

What is not talked about is that they did have long hair in this era.

Those who did produced the commercials and photoshoots just did not include these types of women/hairstyles as much.

All of these women had lots of volume and head full of hair as well, I am quite jealous.

Those who had longer hair in the 1950's styled their hair with bigger curlers the night before as well.

I would have to say I love the look of both hairstyles and I found them so intriguing!

Women's Hairstyles in the 1950s

Many of the women in this time period went for the short hair with curls as a way to look fancy and presentable.

They loved lots of volume in their hair and loved to show off their gorgeous necks.

As looking from photos women who were older wore the short hairstyles and the younger women/teenagers wore their hair longer.

I would assume to categorize people into groups so you would know who was older and who was younger in the town.

I think the short hairstyles as well made the women look more mature and seductive too.

The women did have nice figures to go along with these hairstyles as well.

I loved the headbands that they put in these ladies hair back in this era as it made them look so stunning and like they are full of fun!

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...

What Was Good About 1950's Cars?

I have to say that 1950’s cars look like they are from a whole different universe. What I love about these cars are the white streak around the front of each of the tires. You have many car brands such as the Packard, Mercury, Chevrolet Corvette, Hudson, Ford Thunderbird, Chevrolet Bel Air, Chrysler Imperial, Chrysler New Yorker, Buick Skylar, and more! I personally have to say the Chevrolet Bel Air is my favorite looks wise. Many people who had cars in this era were more towards those with some wealth. I noticed that a lot of the percentage of people walked, biked, or took the bus to wherever they were going. Not everyone in the 1950’s had a car but those who did had some money. Lots of these cars were geared towards couples who had children as well. The cars back in this time period came in many colors, which I love! Today many people have bland colors on their cars. Which are their preference but cars with unique or cool colors really stand out. When looking through pictures of...

1950 Home Rules They Followed

Many people in the 1950's lived simply and it is what most of us would want in the modern world of 2021. Everyone had a routine that they followed such as making our beds when you woke up, take a bath, cook breakfast, etc. Once in a while they would change up their routine to have a variety and not to get bored but for the most part they never strayed away from their routines. This was true, especially those with children. They always said that kids need stability and a routine or else they were cranky and rebellious. Many people from the 1950's were all about their houses being so spotless and were to be shown off to others as well. They always followed the mantra of cleaning up after yourself as you went and making sure you had good cleaning habits. Lots of educational advertisements at the time wanted the public to wake up and dress in presentable clothes, it did not matter that you were a housewife. You had to look and had to have the attitu...
