| Details |
During the 1940s, World War II, when women took over the jobs vacated by men enlisting for service, practicality became the important criterion when choosing hairstyles. Long hair could get caught in machinery, as well as being difficult to keep clean despite a protective headscarf. This hairstyle was usual for the young women in there twenties, with short hair, side parting, and the top is smoothed back, with two rows of curls.
