Love that hair! When do you think this was taken?
via Facebook
I'm guessing 1928 because of the art deco necklace.
via Facebook
My Gran always used to call them 'kiss curls'. I don't know where that name came from, but I think it sounds a bit nicer than 'spit curls' even if that describes how they are done :o)
via Facebook
I am not 'that' old, but I believe they used sugar water and other house hold foods etc. to style the new "Bobbed" hair styles.

Spit curl. Art Deco bib necklace. 1920's. Hairstyle similar to my mother's wedding photo from 1928 (photo attached)

My goodness . very fine build . people ate less then . such a contrast . to today's world .

Thinness to the point of suppression of breast formation and the like were extolled in the era. It wasn't healthy.\

Ann Glover, my mother was naturally petite. She lived 87 years, bore and nurtured 7 healthy children, volunteered for church & community, and was always known for her cheerful and vigorous spirit.

She has an Art Deco style necklace , sooo i say 1931
via Facebook
I agree the necklace makes it difficult. So it would have to be after the fair

World fair,New York ? My Granny was very busy living then. A couple of older Aunts were indeed Flappers.

Thought maybe you were immortal and this was you in the 20's, Thought of you back in High School, You will be Forever Young!

I think a pin curl. My aunt always had them. :)
via Facebook
No, a pin curl used wet hair & metal hairpins to form the curl (more typical in the 40s & 50s--think Marilyn Monroe). A spit curl used spit or gel & was usually stuck to the cheek or forehead. It was formed by the fingers. My grandmother used to say a rhyme, "There was a little girl, who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good she was very, very good & when she was bad she was horrid."
via Facebook
1920s? She reminds me a bit of Jennifer Jason Leigh. This is a pic w/ the shortest hair I could find. Not the same style, obviously.
via Facebook
This haircut is a typical Vidal Sassoon style from the 60s or later. Most color magazine photos are from the 60s or later (although color photography was invented earlier ). Color film & printing was expensive, so most magazines used black & white photos until the early 60s. Remember most of the old pop star photos, such as Elvis & the Beatles were in B & W.

The hair says 20s, the necklace says 30s, the collar says both, the eyebrows say transition....I'd say sometimes between 1928-1932.
via Facebook
Actually Art Deco style name came from a 1925 Paris design exhibition of "arts decortifs."
via Facebook
Yeah, but it's most memorable in the 1930s (when speaking to the general populace) as that's when Art Deco on buildings and on EVERYTHING became the rage.
Most decades really run from mid-decade to mid-decade for things like fashion and even car models. Often times when someone says '20s they actually mean 1925-1935, if they say '50s they actually mean 1955-1965.
So I stand by my statement of 1928-1932. :)

I also had 1928 in mind. Just a guess from movies and old family photos. She is a cutie.

They became most popular about 1927. Have pictures of my late mother-in-law with this hairstyle. I also remember talking about this style with my grandmother and she said she was about 18 years old when the spit curls were most popular. She was born in 1909, same as my mother-in-law.
via Facebook
No spit curls became popular in silent films depicting flappers. The style started early 20s & continued into the 30s.
via Facebook
I thought it was the universal name! She was the Blackbottom and Charleston champion for East London in 1921. She ha dthe Gold Medal from the finals in the 'Kursaal' at Southend-on Sea. Played piano concert style, and sang like a Nightingale. Like all mums, she was the Champion mum to us too. :D.

No, bangs are a fringe of hair that covers the forehead & often cut straight across until the 60s. Contemporary bangs are more often cut in a more oval manner that frames the face. Note that the ladies in the photos have a "side part" in their hair, not bangs.
