#23: 1950s Pin Curls
The pin curl hairstyles of the 1950s were very similar to their 1940s predecessors. If anything, the pinned-back curls of the 50s were more time-intensive and complicated than ever before. Women were generally sporting shorter hairstyles and spent a ton of time perfecting their curls. Unfortunately, many of the popular methods for creating pin curls were quite damaging to hair.

There’s no denying that this classic 50s hairstyle still looks amazing. It’s timeless, chic, and oh-so-elegant. Although most of us don’t wear this style on a regular basis, we can all agree that it’s beautiful. Many people in vintage fashion keep this hairstyle alive by dedicating themselves to perfecting the pin curl look for special occasions.
