Louise Brooks rose to stardom in the 1920's but became notable for her unapologetically bold hairstyle. Her bob was dark, sleek and cut just below the ears with straight, blunt cut bangs. The ends of the hair closest to the face curl slightly forwards. This is the haircut that inspired "flapper" style all over the country.

The French side part bob was one of 12 popular bobbed medium hairstyles in the 1920′s. Clara Bow is so pretty with this luxuriously curled bobbed hair and soft wispy bangs. This hairstyle is fun because there’s a little more freedom allowed than in extra short styles. Play around with the curl texture but make sure to keep the hair parted to the side.

Marion Davies was a beautiful movie star of the 1920's "Silent Era." Her soft finger waves look divine and are a perfect hairstyle to define the decade.

Charlie Chaplin was a hugely popular actor in the 20′s. Many people know him for his movie persona “the Tramp”, and outside of his costume, he was quite a handsome and fashionable man.

For men in the roaring twenties, slicked back, conservative styles were the height off fashion. F. Scott Fitzgerald surfaced to fame with his first popular novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920, and became a fixture in New York City society.

When everyone during the 1920's were bobbing their locks, Mary Pickford chose to keep her long and flowing hair.

It's a very feminine look perfect for women who love long hair.

In the 1920's the young and fresh-faced actress, Lillian Gish, rose to fame. She maintained long and gorgeous curled tresses during an era when bobbed styles ruled.

Curled and Bobbed hairstyles were all the rage in the twenties and come to mind fairly quickly when most people remember the era. Scarves in the hair are also a easily memorable style. Scarf head wraps were the ideal companion to this hairstyle for flapper fashionista’s because they added another way to personalize your hairstyle. Usually the scarves were laced or beaded and complemented the wearer’s dress.
