1920s women revelled in their new found power, they became rebellious - by wearing shorter, tighter dresses, heavy makeup and cutting their hair short. Finger Waves and Marcel Waves.For the Flapper girls finger waves were popular, Anita Page, Claudette Colbert, Marlene Dietrich and Joan Crawford favoured this style. Finger waves were developed to soften the hard appearance of the bob. Finger waves and Marcel waves looked similar, the difference was the method that they were achieved. Finger waves were created using your fingers with brilliantine (hair gel). The sculpted waves started off sot at first, angular patterns followed and then into geometric shapes of the Art Deco period. Marcel waves were achieved by using a heated curler designed by French hairdresser, Francois Marcel, this made the waves easier to achieve and longer lasting.

AuthorThis blog is to follow on from my university final project, which was a historical reference book on ‘Female Hair and Makeup Throughout History’. Each week I will release a post featuring an era and an aspect of hair, makeup and fashion from the time. I will also have my makeup muse of the week, who could be a makeup or fashion trendsetter of their time or a makeup artist who has innovated the industry. Archives
