1953—The Cap Cut
As we progress further into the 1950s, hairstyles get shorter and shorter. Changing times and fashions meant that women were becoming more adventurous and stepping away from what was regarded as traditional femininity.
1953 saw the advent of the “cap cut”. It was sort of the 50s’ version of a pixie cut, but with a bit more curls and waves added in to frame the face.
1954—The Sabrina
1954 saw the release of the iconic and much loved movie Sabrina, starring Hollywood darling Audrey Hepburn as the titular character.Hepburn is well known as one of the ultimate style icons of both the 50s and 60s, but it was her hairdo in this movie that took the world by storm that year.
Dubbed simply “The Sabrina”, this hairstyle embodied the waifish and stylish chic that Hepburn came to embody during her glittering reign as the fashion princess of Hollywood.
