With each decade comes a new hair trend. The 1920s saw the rise of the flapper girl aesthetic, dominated by playful pixie cuts, whereas the 1940s embraced old Hollywood appearances that prioritized elegance. Moving into the 1950s, the decade's hairstyles entered their blond bombshell era, popularized by Marilyn Monroe's iconic style and signature image, whereas the mid 1960s to '70s saw a rise in natural hair, Afros, and more self-expressive styles.
