If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the ladies above say it all. Fifties hairstyles were soft and curly. Straight hair was out. Short hair was in.

Young women often tied their hair back in a ponytail and circled it with a pretty chiffon scarf. But this would have been for casual activities and rarely for evening.


The Fifties look was usually achieved by an arduous process of pin curling and rolling. Remember - no blow dryers in the 50s. As demonstrated by super model Suzy Parker, one pinned the hair and sometimes sprayed it to keep the set.

How To 50's Pinup (Hairstyle)

This style is for short hair and was very popular in the 50's. You will achieve a head full of soft curls with the aid of lots of bobby pins and a little spray gel.

Difficulty: N/A

Time Required: n/a
Here's How:

1. Let hair dry just to the point that it is still damp to the touch.

2. Apply a little styling gel and work it through the strands.

3. Divide the scalp into rows and begin sectioning off small sections of hair. Curl around your finger, flatten and then pin into place. Each row will be curled in one direction, the next row in the opposite.

4. Allow to dry naturally if you have the time or use a hairdryer with a diffuser attachment.

5. When dry, remove pins and then loosen the curls with your fingers.

1950-60 Hairstyles

Throughout the early 50s the ponytail was a popular youthful hairstyle and it matured into the French pleat. Fashionable hairstyles began with simple ponytails and ended the decade with complex beehive arrangements. Popular hairstyles in the 1950s and 60s were the poodle cut and the French pleat and later the beehive which began at the tail end of the 50s.

For the more sophisticated, a permanent wave in the styles favoured by Elizabeth Taylor and the young Queen Elizabeth II were universally worn. Their popular bubble cut hairstyles were easily copied with the advent of improved hair products, particularly home perms. Other stars that captured the look of the day were Leslie Caron, Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot and Doris Day.

Hairdressing was so big, that by 1955 almost 30,000 salons had sprung up in Britain. As products such as hair lacquer sprays and plastic rollers came into general use it was easily possible for ordinary women to create more and more complex hairstyles of height.

By the late 50s, outrageous backcombed bouffants, beehives, and French pleats led the way for the intricate coiled hairstyles of the 1960s. Women mostly bought their hair lacquer from their hairdresser and decanted it at home into nylon puffer spray bottles. By the end of the 50s, hair spray in cans, commercial shampoo, conditioner and rollers all became big business that boomed in the sixties.
