1951—The Poodle Clip
we have the lovely Lucille Ball showing us a perfect example of the poodle clip, the most popular hairstyle in 1951. This hairdo was sleek and straight on the sides, with a big curly bouffant bit on top, just like the popular dog breed it’s named after.
In the world of canine grooming, the Poodle Clip holds a distinctive position as one of the most iconic and recognizable styles. Emerging in 1951, this particular grooming technique revolutionized the way Poodles were presented and became synonymous with elegance and sophistication.
1952—Short Curls
1952 was the year of the short curls, modeled here by the iconic Marilyn Monroe. Monroe was a true style icon of the 50s, and she was the one who made this classic hairstyle so popular.
Even though Monroe is still regarded today as the quintessential blonde bombshell, did you know that in real life she was actually a brunette!
As well as changing the hair styling world forever, in 1952 Monroe was named the “best young box office personality” by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
