i have always been so fascinated with fashion and hair through the ages.

the word <<retro>> means of or designating the style of an earlier time.

so today, we are going to take a look at hair styles through the ages.

1920's

the twenties have always been my favorite era.

so timeless and classic. 

i love the style of the flapper girls from their pearls, feathers, and fringes 

to their decadent makeup and HAIR (of course!)

in the 20's and 30's pin curls and finger curls were widely used to form the hair.

with a killer rose accessory

1950's

the era of the pin up girls

these hairstyles consisted of rolls, poofs, chignons, and lots of volume

big eyes, nude lips, & hair flips.

aside from the great hair, don't these ladies have fab sweater patterns!

1970's

big hair, lot's of fluff, and of course. FARRAH!

i love the face framed flip.

i do this a lot after i straighten my hair to add a little flair.
