Hairstyles From The Past - A Look At Retro Hairstyles

By Toni Moretti

When some people hear the term retro hairstyles, they automatically think of old fashioned or a flash from the past. Actually though these so called old fashioned hair styles or retro is the real term, have been around a long time, still going strong to day and most likely in the future as well. There is no one definition of a retro hairstyle because it can be a variation of smooth finger waves or intriguing elegant chignons. The impressive aspect of these retro hairstyles is they can magically be transformed into the most elegant evening hairstyle one could possibly want.

Entertainers of today can take the hairstyle of the bygone starlets of the past and wear them as an ultra modern statement of fashion.

Some of us without giving away our age may remember our Moms and grandmothers walking around all day with those multiple bobby pins jutting out from all areas of their heads. That may seem like a long time ago, but take a close look at some of the most famous hairstyles today and you can bet you are going to see those very same pin curls that Mom used to have.

We would be remiss when talking about retro hairstyles not to mention the ?beehive hairdo?. It was almost a contest to see who could get the greatest height. The higher the better. Now look at some of those sophisticated up dos or those gigantic buns that the fashionable are wearing today. They really are not all that much different from the beehive. In fact if one didn?t know better it could be said that today?s styles are a knock off of the past. Then that?s what makes them retro isn?t it.

Now a current hairstyle that one would find it hard to believe that it is Retro is the Bob hairstyle. This style has been modified numerous times but never loses its versatility and appeal. Quite often people will mistakenly take it as being a short and straight. In fact the long sleek can also be classified as a Bob as well. With the bob hairstyle almost anything goes. Most often though the retro hairstyles are worn for formal affairs, although there are some casual looks that capture the retro look. The next time you are going through fashion magazines see if you can spot the retro styles.

If you sort of fancy a style from the past but would be embarrassed to wear it because it may be old fashioned then think again. You just may very well be the next individual to set the fashion trend of the times. There isn?t much that you can do with your hair today that would be classed as unacceptable. Another thing too is that you may think that the latest fashion hairstyle is the newest style to hit the market. Look back in the past and you will most likely find the retro style that the new fashion style was created after. When it comes to retro hairstyles, the clich? that history repeats itself is very very true.
