There is no more fascinating era than the '20s. These unforgettable years were immortalized by famous novels, and some became successful movies, such as The Great Gatsby. The 20s dresses are certainly among the most popular theme parties, for the joy of women who can choose from fabulous dresses, hair bands and fantastic makeup. Also, men can wear fantastic accessories from Borsalinos to pocket watches, and, of course, the glamorous slicked hair.

The decade of the 1920s was a period of great change; women shocked men with clothes that would gradually shrank, reaching the style of an emancipated girl of the mid-20s. The American dream dominated an era full of fun, crime and prohibition.

Styling trends and hair fashion of the 20s come back in vogue from time to time. Feelings, conventions, and fashion that characterized the 1920s still captures today’s cheerful atmospheres and provides a multitude of ideas for theme parties.

Choosing a wig suitable for these occasions is not that easy. Below we present the most beautiful hairstyles and haircuts from the 20s, from the great classics to the fascinating reinterpretations.

 

 

The waves

 

In the '20s, waves are very marked for a super-chic result. They are preferably adopted on short hair or on the yoke. If you have long hair it is better to make them on the top of the head rather than on the half lengths or on the ends. For this purpose, apply a styling mousse on the hair and use two or three flat hairpins to be placed horizontally. Let it dry and voilà, there you have – hair waves from the '20s!

 

The jeweled headband

 

There are many models to choose from, depending on your style. In the '20s the hair band is refined and chic, made of noble materials such as pearls and lace. It settles almost on the front, horizontally. Sometimes very thin and discreet, it intertwines with the hair.

 

 

The short carré

 

It is certainly the most symbolic cut of the '20s! Louise Brooks was one of the pioneers. With or without fringe, this carré comes right under the ears and is very structured and straight. After the long hair and the stereotypical hairstyles, women wanted to prove to be equal to man, resembling them also in appearance (or almost)!

 

 

The cloche hat

 

If the term “trendy” had existed at the time, it would have been appropriate for this type of headgear. The cloche is indeed and without a doubt the trendy hat of the era! Calcato fine on the head, with the edges arriving on the eyebrows, it was immediately adopted by fans of the short carré, which was then called "alla garçonne".

 

 

The Charleston chignon

A hairstyle that combines the waves and the romantic chignon with a sophisticated and soft result at the same time. In this case, medium or long hair is necessary! Start by making waves (but without tracing them too much) with two or three flat clasps, leave to dry, and then remove them. Bring the rest of the hair to one side and gently twist the half lengths and the ends, fixing them in a fluffy bun.

 

Now that you know what are the most popular trends for a 20's stunning look, it's up to you to decide which one is more suitable to the shape of your face, skin tone, and overall looks.
