9. The Chignon

From the shortest hair to the longest, there were still women in the 20s who preferred their hair long. The only difference between this and the Victorian hairstyles of yore was that they finally actually had the choice of what length they wanted their hair to be. Chignons were a mixture of styles lifted from bobs and from longer hairdos. The style consists of a knot pinned to the back of the neck. Its name comes from the French term "chignon du cou," which means "nape of the neck," and women in the 20s tended to wear it with headscarves. It’s also probably one of the more common “vintage” hairstyles stylists use for red carpets these days.
