Happy Holiday weekend!

Labor Day- a concept derived from the Labor Movement- originated in 1882 and celebrates the dedication and achievements of American workers.

What better way to "ring in" the holiday weekend than with a blast from the past…in hair trends!

Check out some our favorite hairstyles from the 1880s and on:

This half-up, half-down style was popular during the early 1880s. The modern alternative (shown) has becoming increasingly popular for weddings, on runways, and even for daily ‘dos.


This classic, up swept style of the 1900s often featured a small bun at the back of the head and showcased natural hair texture. Today, this style is one of the most requested up-dos (think chignon) in salons around the world.


Finger waves and the bob (as seen in this picture) first became popular in the 1920s, especially amongst flappers and fashionistas. Short hair became increasingly popular for women during this time. Today stars like Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson, and Gwen Stefani sport this style on the red carpet and in films.


Who doesn't recognize this style? Marilyn Monroe- THE iconic blonde- made this short, curly style popular during the 1950s. It is classic, elegant, and sexy, and is recreated in many ways today (even stars like Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox have tried it!).



Oh, the 80s…this was the era of big hair! From the mullet to the Farrah Fawcett flip, the bigger the hair the better. We love long hair that's full of body but we'd prefer if some 80's styles were left, well, in the 80s. No recreation necessary!
