Many beauty lovers choose to use a wig to make an "instant" change than to spend hours in the salon.
The bob, born in 1909 and first seen as a way for immodest women to wear their hair, has never left the limelight after a century of change. Generations of big name actresses and even male celebrities have loved and innovated their short hair, keeping the bob at the forefront of fashion, and in 2009, the bob has made a comeback, from the young Tom Cruise's daughter, Ms. Suri, to the old Helen Mirren, who won the Oscar for best actress for her role as the Queen of England, and from the bolder actresses, such as Victoria Beckham and Agnes Deen, to the more refined actresses, such as Mrs. Athon, who has won the Oscar for her role as the Queen of England. From bold actresses such as Victoria Beckham and Agnes Deen, to the more modest ones such as Katie Holmes and Uma Thurman - these people, who were originally not on the same page, have made frequent appearances in fashion magazines in Europe and the United States. There is only one reason: they all cut the bob head.
The bob is a versatile look that has evolved over the centuries, with a series of self-evolutionary changes in hair length, thickness, and so on. Each small change brings a new feeling. The most amazing thing about the bob is that it has a way of flattering whichever face shape it is. Whether it's a classic style bob or a modern style bob, there's always a way to meet the individual needs of different people. [1]
[edit]History
Origin of the bob hairstyle
It's amazing that a simple head shape has been popular for 100 years. This is how the century of the bob began: in 1909, Parisian hairdresser Antoni-Cierplikowski was cutting Miss Eve-Lavallière's hair. The actress, who was to play a role on stage that was younger than she actually was, turned to the Polish barber, known in Paris at the time as "Monsieur Antoni", to make her look younger. The barber gave her a Joan of Arc-inspired look, with long, feminine curls trimmed away, leaving her with short, boyish, ear-length hair. This was the debut of the bob, which looked very sexy and eye-catching. This revolutionary hairstyle was more of a symbol of independence and equality.
The bob as a symbol of women's liberation
At the beginning of the 20th century, the outbreak of the First World War inspired women all over the world to pursue independence and liberation, and their values changed dramatically. This change was first reflected in the dress code and hairstyle: the cumbersome long dresses were transformed into simple pants and short skirts; the long feminine hair began to become shorter, which were all symbols of fashion and avant-garde at that time.
The bob was not universally welcomed at first. The bob was first popular with the high society of central London, and then became the standard hairstyle for the so-called "wannabe girls", who wore heavy make-up, were often drunk, and lived on the fringes of London society. The hairstyle was so controversial that Queen Mary had to ask her attendants who wore a wig to hide their bob when attending royal ceremonies. In those days, many women wore wigs to hide their somewhat "slutty" bob.
In the 1920s, the bob came to the United States amid controversy, with conservatives slamming it: "A woman who cuts her bob is a woman who is indecent." Parents in traditional families considered the gender-confusing hairstyle "unseemly," while the morally rigorous called it "indecent." It sounds exaggerated, but at the time, the bob took America by storm. A New Jersey schoolteacher was ordered to grow her hair long because of a bob cut. And many large department stores even fired a large number of female employees who rushed the fashionable rebel bob haircut. More exaggerated, some American men home from work to find their wives cut the bobble head, and even to the point of divorce.
In fact, the boyish, ear-length bob is reminiscent of the hairstyle worn by Empress Marie-Antoinette when she was guillotined by revolutionaries during the French Revolution. In an old custom in some places, women were shaved into short hair as a sign of shame after committing adultery. But fads spread almost as fast as scandals, and the "shocking" hairstyle instantly became the latest fad, and in 1913 the bob made headlines for the first time, when it was discovered that it had appeared on the head of the ballroom dancer Irene-Castle, who had done it only because she had previously worn a long bob. Irene-Castle did this simply because her long hair was getting in the way when she danced. Irene-Castle became a pioneer, and behind her came the Jazz Age, with the bob as a shining symbol.
The negativity and naysaying of traditional society did not stop women from pursuing emancipation and freedom. In front of the question of "to cut a bob or not to cut", more and more women chose the former. In the 1920s, the bob reached its first peak. According to reports, more than 2,000 women in New York cut their hair short every day, and long lines formed outside barbershops for its avid followers. At barbershops, there were even lines from the store to the outside. At that time, one of the leading hairdressing magazines in the United States received a letter from a parent, which said, "From behind, I can't tell if it's a boy or a girl in front of me because the girls have bobbed haircuts that look like men. I raised my daughter to be a lady and my son to be a man. But now, it hurts so much that I can't tell if it's my daughter or my son in front of me."
Louise Brooks' bobblehead stardom expanded the impact of the bobblehead for the first time. Coco Chanel, Louise Brooks, Clara Bow, etc. have cut short hair, the courage to try, independent and bold female image began to slowly set up in the European and American society, but also achieved a lot of classic images in the movie. The most famous is Clara Bow in the movie "It" (IT) portrayed a handsome girl, the iconic short hair and red lips of the "modern female" look, become the most classic female image of this period. The term "It girl" is still used today to describe new women like Clara who led the way in social life: charming, cute and energetic, they revolutionized pop culture.
The second peak of the bob
On October 29, 1929, Black Sunday arrived and the Jazz Age came to an end. "There are no more modern women." The New York Times declared them an anachronistic luxury in an era of economic depression. But the bob didn't disappear with them, at best it was less ostentatious. girls who wore the bob in the 1930s pinned their hair back with a hairpin in an innocent girl-next-door look; in the 1950s, girls curled it and it never looked like a helmet again.
After the two world wars, the economic rise of Europe and the United States and the concept of openness, so that the bob head ushered in its second peak. In the 1960s, the bob again high-profile, classic appeared: Vidal-Sassoon (Vidal-Sassoon) for the Chinese actress Guan Nancy designed the famous "Nancy head (Nancy Kwan Cut)", hairstyle rich in geometric lines, beautiful shape. Earlier, he created the classic bob for Mary-Quant, the mother of the short skirt, another benchmark in the fashion world, and it became a sensation. At the time, the male bob was represented by the young rockers known as the Beatles. Thick bangs, straight lines down the cheeks, was the old style of the good students in the college, from the day it was labeled "child flower head", has never faded from popularity.
The bob evolved after the 1960s
Over the next few years, the bob changed and became more personal: in the 1960s, Twiggy wore it extremely short and clean, giving her an unclassifiable air of masculinity, femininity, and childishness, while in the 1970s, Faye-Dunaway wore it as an amalgam of male, female, and child. Faye-Dunaway)'s bereted, long bob in Bonnie and Clyde was unforgettable, and for many years afterward, it was seen on Gwyneth-Paltrow's (Gwyneth-Paltrow) long bob.
Starting in the late 1980s, the prototype bob "helmet" was stretched to cover the ears, protecting the owner's cheeks like a bodyguard. Fashion has always alternated between the innovative and the retro. Into the 21st century, from time to time, there are actresses with a variety of distinctive bobble head shape appearance, so that the bobble head this hundred years of fashion can still lead the trend of the first. [3]
Lovely, innocent and at the same time a little mysterious, dangerous bob, after a hundred years, has been in the countries of the fashion high street unique. According to Mark-Coray, vice president of the British National Hairdressing Association, the bob has witnessed a variety of styles such as punk, mod, and new romanticism, and eventually flourished because of pop stars.
[Edit paragraph] Bobble head and women's hair science
The Chinese have the old saying "cut away thousands of troublesome silk", the hair and women's psychological and emotional link directly, but also let the "women's hair science" gradually become a fashion term. It has also made "women's hairdressing" a fashionable term. However, for professional women, the choice of a simple and clean bob is still largely for practical purposes.
Women often think that the bob shows their independence, optimism, and strength of character, while men apparently prefer long, feminine hair. 43% of a sample of 3,000 men in the U.S. conducted a survey in February 2009, and 43% of the men regarded a big bob as their favorite female hairstyle; actress Jennifer Aniston's long, straight, hair was second; followed by a young woman famous for singing "Umbrella," and a young woman with a long, straight bob. actress Jennifer Aniston's long straight hair came second, followed closely by the classic short bob worn by young singer Rihanna, famous for her performance of Umbrella, and Kim Marsh, star of the hit soap opera Coronation Street.
Karen Moore, a leading British hairdresser, explains that hairstyles play a significant role in determining a woman's appearance. Traditionally, long hair is considered feminine, which means that almost half of all men see long, thick, naturally curly hair as the most attractive style in their minds. Nonetheless, most women need to use hair styling tools in order to get this kind of hairstyle, as it is only a very small number of people who are born with such lovely big wavy hair. Interestingly, despite the fact that women in the 21st century are popular with slightly shorter bob hairstyles or Agnes Dean-style short brunettes, men still prefer the long wavy hair that is traditionally the most iconic.
