As the beauty industry evolves, so do popular hairstyles, but these '50s hairstyles are always in fashion. The 1950s are known for the feminine and unique curls that the A-list celebrities of the era wore. Create a classic look with the following '50s hair trends.
European Bouffant
When you want stylish and classic hair, you can gain inspiration from Sophia Loren's iconic hairstyle, which stood out for its volume and curls. The hairstyle continues to be a trend for women who want to embrace a chic look that is short and full. You can achieve the European Bouffant with a nozzle attachment on your hair dryer and a round brush, which will allow you to create curls and a beautiful blowout.

Long Bob
Grace Kelly was known for her elegance and feminine beauty in the 1950s and had a long bob that complemented her classic style. It was one of the most popular '50s hairstyles. Long bobs continue to reign on the runway and among women who want to create a formal hairstyle. The hair is styled tight on the head and requires a curling iron or rollers to curl the ends. Part the hair on the side and spray plenty of hairspray to secure the curls and add extra body. The hair should be cut a few inches below the ears to
create the perfect look.

Pixie Cut
As one of the most popular movie stars of all time, Audrey Hepburn made the pixie cut a trend for those who want gamine hair that is paired with baby bangs. To mimic one of the most iconic '50s hairstyles, you'll need to ask your stylist to use thinning shears instead of traditional scissors to avoid creating a hairstyle that's too boyish. The hair should be cut close to the ears and thinned out to prevent it from looking like a bowl cut.

Larger Curls
When you want to rock one of the top '50s hairstyles, shorter locks and big curls like Elizabeth Taylor's will allow you to make a statement with hair that has plenty of volume. Her hair was a hit in Hollywood and can be recreated by using heated rollers. The size of the rollers will determine the amount of volume you'll get. See how to achieve the look yourself by following this
step-by-step tutorial. Those who want pin curls can use bobby pins to keep the curls in place while using a hair diffuser. A curling iron can then be used to correct any parts of the hair that didn't curl well.
