It is the fact that for women, their hair is one of the most essential assets to represent their beauty. That is why numbers of women love to flaunt long hair. They believe that the fashion of long hairstyle will never go out of fashion.

The King of Rock and Roll is still, even today, the most iconic figure that has ever graced American culture. You may not have the slightest clue who iCarly and Justin Bieber are, but your kids sure know who Elvis is, and their kids will, and their kids’ kids will, as well. Here’s a little info on the Elvis Presley hairstyle that helped define his image.

Where Did It Come From?

Elvis didn’t actually invent the hairstyle he made so famous. Rather, he borrowed the look from the comic book hero Captain Marvel, Shazam! His love of music was matched by nothing but his love of costumed heroes, and he replicated the sound of his favorite singers with the look of his favorite heroes, making him the world’s first musical superhero. He emulated the costumery of comic books in his later appearance as well, with the cape and sequins and so forth.

How Do I Get The Look?

Don’t mistake the look for a pompadour. Many people look up “how do I get a pompadour?” when emulating the Elvis look, but this isn’t really right. The pompadour is smooth and rounded on top, whereas Elvis has a few loose locks giving him a signature appearance. The Elvis look is actually called a “Duck’s Butt”, because it looks a little like, well, like the butt of a duck. Now, you have either old Elvis or young Elvis (because you don’t want the no-sideburns WWII G. I. Elvis).

Young King

For the younger look, the fifties look, start with a handful of pomade. Now, if you like, gel, mousse and spray are easier to work with, but not as authentic. They won’t give you the same sleek shine as Elvis or the flexibility. Get the pomade in there really nice and thick, and then comb it throughout. Now once that’s done, smooth out the sides and back with your hands and comb the top real tight. Now use the comb, and a photo for reference, and tease out a few locks until you have just enough hair hanging gracefully across your forehead.

Old King

If you want the Viva Las Vegas look, you’ll need slightly longer hair. If you looked at a photo of Elvis without his style done at this time, it hung to around chin length or so before being combed back and up. Follow the same instructions as above, but allow for a little “fluff”, some breathing room in the hair. This was his real “Superhero Look”, so don’t be afraid to go a little overboard in terms of size and volume.

In American culture, the most controversial hair fashion began in the the 1920s. At the center of this historical great debate in hair fashion is the hairstyle famously known as “the bob”. This haircut was first introduced during the Great War and would go on to define and revolutionise women’s haircut forever.

The Beginnings

In 1915, there was a castle named “Castle Bob”. It was named after a celebrated famous ballroom dancer called Irene Bob. At the time, she styled her hair with a blunt cut that was level with the bottom of her ears around her head for convenience. Little did she expect that she would forever be associated with a revolution in 20th-century hair fashion with the rise of the famous hairstyle “the bob”. This was the first trigger that eventually led to the short hair trend.

The Change

“The bob” was worn either with bangs or with the hair brushed off the forehead. It was a very simple look but a very different one from the traditional long feminine looks created by Gibson and Marcel. It was commonly known that when a woman had her hair cut short, she grew bolder and began to become more rebellious in what she wear and do. The free-spirited youth at that time readily accept the new look as something fresh and bold which coincides with the major change in societal norms and values during the 1920s. On May 1, 1920, F.Scott Fitzgeralds short story “Bernice Bobs Her Hair” was published in the Saturday Evening Post. It was about the heroics of a young woman who submit to the barbers shears and transform into a smooth-talking vamp. Many young women at that time regarded her as a role model and wanted to be like her.

Fashion & media

By 1921, the fashion and media industry began to take notice of this new hairstyle. They began to embrace “the bob” with fashion designer “Coco” Chanel and actresses Clara Bow and Louise Brooks leading the way as example. Soon, young women everywhere took the plunge and began bobbing their hair.

Trends and fears

Women of all ages began to soon find themselves having to face the decision on whether to follow the trend and bob their hair or remain with long hair. Many women were afraid that the long hair would quickly become popular again after they bobbed their hair. Many professional hair publications also predicted an immediate return to long hair.

Women takeover

It is hard to imagine but at that time, cutting-of-hair was still a male-dominated occupation. Long-lines of women were standing patiently outside barbershops waiting for their turn to be bobbed. At first, professional hairdressers refused to accept “the bob”. However, after losing many clients and profits to barbers, many hairdressers were slowly being forced into accepting “the bob”. With the participation of the hairdressers, more sophisticated versions of “the bob” were introduced with waved or shingled styles.

Controversy

There are many controversies surrounding “the bob”. In New Jersey, a teacher was ordered by her Board of Education to let her hair grow. Preachers warned that “a bobbed woman is a disgraced woman.” There are even men who divorced their wives over bobbed hair. One large department store also fired all employees wearing bobbed hair.

Rise of Beauty Industry

As difficult as it is to imagine, the bobbed hair fashion started or at least boosted the start of the beauty industry. From 5,000 to 21,000 hairdressing shops in 5 years, the beauty industry boomed. Bobbing also has led to the adoption of other aids to personal adornment, resulting in flourishing beauty shops everywhere.

Let look at how to we can create two very different types of hairstyles for ladies mainly:

But the biggest advice Judy had to share when interviewing her was that to promote healthy hair would have to require trial and error. That statement is hard to disagree on. Though there are general healthy tips to follow, no one knows exactly what will click. Everyones hair is different, and that means using the same products on different types of hair can wield different results. And with every woman having a different taste when it comes to hairstyles, its a craft that everyone has to hone.

Supporting Hair Care Information: Judy managed to nail some simple but very important points when sharing her knowledge. She had mentioned also that women, sometimes through lack of knowledge and other times through carelessness, will cause hair problems through self-infliction, then meet up with Judy for her services. They would then rinse and repeat. It is wise not to follow this habit. Many women are doing this and they dont even know it!

What this makes it look like is that youre always relying on your hairstylist to service your hair to make it magically go back to full restoration. There are women that do this, and then when theyre experiencing major problems will get upset at their stylist when they themselves cant figure out the best solution. At that point its out of their hands, and youll have to get help from a hair care consultant (or trichologist). To keep from making a situation like this occur, you should be limiting your usage from products with harmful chemicals, find products that have natural ingredients and contain vitamins to help promote healthy hair.

Limiting your usage of your flat iron or blow dryer is another helpful piece of advice. That does not mean dont use them, it just means use them wisely. It is easy to get caught up in using your flat iron just to straighten a section of your hair that isnt cooperating, or to get that hairstyle you want and not realizing how long youve been using your flat iron. And if youre doing this daily, you dont have to do the math to figure out the major consequences. Should you use hot utensils, you should be using a product that offers heat protection to minimize any chance of damage.

A celebrity hairstylist once mentioned that its important to brush your hair throughout the entire day, especially if youre trying to add volume. She said that brushing hair five minutes at a time is important, and recommended doing this when getting ready for work, during lunch break, before going home, and prior to going to bed. With the application of good products like coconut crme, and consistent brushing, youre giving every bit of your hair equal moisture. A brush is well suited for transferring your natural oils throughout the roots and ends of your hair. Never underestimate this one hairstyling tool.
