I have rather long hair(about mid way down my back) and I would like to put in up in a nice 1920's style for a party. I know that short hair was typical for girls of the 1920's, but I REALLY don't want to cut my hair! Were there any styles back then for longer hair? Or is there a way I can wear it up?Are there any 1920's styles for long hair?
Sure, They did low bun or chignon with a head piece, or you can do finger waves with it. Sometimes, They did elaborate hairstyles that was pretzel like(I can't for the life of me, find the pictures of that, So you'll have to really research that on google), or princess leia buns. Sometimes, They even did a Faux Bob, which you can find many tutorials online for a Faux bob...I think one 1920 faux bob had the ends rolled, which you could easily achieve with a curling iron(Or a rat hair piece) and bobby pins.Are there any 1920's styles for long hair?
The character that comes immediately to mind of that era is Olive Oyl, the girlfriend of the cartoon character Popeye, created in 1919 and popular throughout the middle of the 20th century.
The hair was tied up in a very tight bun at the back and allowed to curve over the ears. It has to be very sleeked back and geometrical for it to work - maybe use Brylcreem or setting lotion?
The other thing worth having is a flapper hat, called a cloche hat. You can tuck your hair safely away inside that, with just a few curls sticking out of the sides.
if your looking for a cute hairstyle to try out without heat try these:
