Famous Short Hairstyles

Through the years, many short hairstyles have been made popular by simply appearing on famous people. Even before the 1960’s, when Vidal Sassoon created the famous Bob haircut, women were experimenting with shorter hairstyles that also appeared feminine. It was also during this time that men were fighting for the right to wear their hair longer. While that’s rather a dichotomy of sorts, the short hairstyles won out more and more.

Famous Short Hairstyles

Many celebrities have started famous short hairstyles just by getting their own hair cut in a certain way. In the 60’s, the model, Twiggy, had her own unique hairstyle as well as her signature stick figure appearance, and don’t forget those eyes with painted in lower lashes. Many teenage girls and young adult women immediately set about copying not only Twiggy’s haircut but her eye makeup as well. The 70’s brought us Olympic Ice Skating Champion, Dorothy Hamill’s famous wedge haircut. This cut served a lot of purposes. It was convenient and easy to maintain, considering what Dorothy’s profession was. The wedge was also feminine even while being short. A worldwide famous short hairstyle was introduced in the early 1980’s by Diana Spencer, later known as Diana, Princess of Wales. This hairstyle was short, but had full bangs swept across her forehead. Many women adopted this haircut to the point of it being seen on someone everywhere you went.
