Stunning 1920s Hairstyles You Can Rock Today

3. Marcel Waves

Waves were a huge part of 1920s hairstyles, from the everyday finger wave to the silky Marcel wave. The Marcel wave was ushered in as a softer and more feminine alternative to the blunt boyish bob the flappers were into. The difference between Marcel waves and finger waves really only existed in the way the looks were created. Unsurprisingly, finger waves were done with the fingers where Marcel waves required a curling iron: this made the look way easier to achieve. The hairstyle got its name from the French hairdresser, Francois Marcel, who designed them. Some of the golden age starlets of the time that rocked this look were Joan Crawford, Mary Pickford, and Bebe Daniels.
