Whispers of Pastel: A 1950s Hidden Hairstyle Gem
Discover the surprising popularity of pastel hues in 1950s hairdos. This lesser known hair fad has almost been forgotten except by the few ladies who wore it and the lucky ones they have told their stories to. But, yes, powder pink, lavender, pale blue and mint green were all colors women dyed their hair in the Atomic Era of the 1950s and early 1960s.

    Typically, how long does it take to complete this hairstyle from scratch? Also, can you please share what temperature you used for the dummy and for how long is each strand held in the curling iron? I’m currently practice these techniques by your methods(which I love) and finding it difficult to achieve the desired results for a long haired dummy

    I dressed vintage for a while a few years ago. I started working a physical job and can't/don't wear a vintage hairdo. I didn't dress vintage for a very long time because of this. I'm still working a manual job, but I've been sewing my own vintage outfits for a while now. When I was on my hiatus, I wanted to try a hairstyle that was very popular when I was in highschool, 2012-2015. I decided to shave the side of my head. I was going for like a skrillix look, or Avril lavine or something. I've had it for about a year but I don't much care for it, so I'm trying to grow it out. I have an area about 2-3" radius around my left ear that was shaved. It's still very short, and I've been doing a middle part to help cover it as it grows back in. Do you have any tips for vintage styling while this grows back in? Or just curl, fluff, center part and use a snood? The rest of my hair goes past my shoulders about 2 or 3 inches.

    I think the colored hair looks so much prettier because they still style and present themselves in a very neat way. Nowadays, most people will pair their colored hair with face piercings and tattoos. I mean, if you think that is pretty then fine but personally I think that is a bit off-putting.

    I’m completely fascinated, thank you for sharing your research. How did they not destroy their hair back then with the bleach? I remember getting my first bleach job in the early 90’s as a teen, in an expensive salon and boy did they ruin my level 5 hair… it was a horrid light orange/yellow brassy, and they didn’t use a toner to my knowledge. I had saved up my money for so long lol. A couple of months later I went back to brown, my tail between my legs 😂

    • @LaurenRennells
      @LaurenRennells 2 місяці тому

      Good question! They actually kinda did ruin their hair if they bleached it too far past their natural hair level. This look was a lot easier for women who were already natural blonde.

    I have to say these pastels shades are a lot less jarring to the eye at least, softer and definitely a step up from the harsh "Halloween" colors that have been around way too long. I remember some of those Roux shades from the 60s(?) Love seeing those jewel shades on the darker-haired ladies also.
