In the world of fashion, one of your greatest accessories and iconic looks is what sits on top of your head. Your hair, whatever color, cut, or texture, helps tell the story of who you are, where you come from, and who you are going to be. Throughout the decades, we’ve seen the styles change, some good and some bad, but we love to draw inspiration from the past to help pave the way for the future with new and exciting looks.
The 1940’s: The Peek-A-Boo Bangs

The 1960’s: The Beehive

The 1970’s: The Afro
The bigger the ideas got, the bigger the hair did too. The iconic afro hairstyle proved to be a political statement for many young men and women while also showcasing power and beauty in their racial identity. Image Link
The 1980’s: The Undercut
The Undercut is a style that has been recycled over the course of a few decades, but coined the name “The McSqueeb” in the ‘80’s. With it’s shorter side and longer top, it creates an edgy yet sophisticated look. Even in the modern day, we’ve seen this iconic style come back! Image Link
The 1990’s: The Rachel
When the show “Friends” first aired in 1994, no one predicted the show’s instant, tremendous success. Everyone fell in love with the cast, especially Jennifer Aniston’s fashion, her character’s personality, and her hairstyles. Image Link
The 2000’s: The Polished Bob (Pob)
With the 2000’s came edgy haircuts and questionable fashion choices. One hairstyle; however, had girls lining up at the salons to look just like Victoria Beckham. Giving the traditional bob some layers and volume, the “pob” was an instant hit and still continues to be one of the most popular hairstyles today. Image Link.
