Retro Hair Trends for 2012-Stylert.com

Feb. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Many retro hair styles from the 50’s and 60’s are coming back. Retro hairstyles are hot right now, from the 40s finger waves, the glamorous 60s chignons to the sleek and geometric Vidal Sassoon haircuts.

Retro and Vintage hair styles seem to be making a nice come back for 2012. From barrel curls, finger waves and chignons, these vintage-inspired hairstyles were seen all over runways this season, but with a modern twist. A sleek, feminine chignon was a perfect formal '60s hairstyle. This new version of the chignon is a more loosely pinned 'do and is classic and wearable for any occasion.

Vidal Sassoon known for his sleek, mod haircuts revolted the hair trends in the 60s. Vidal Sassoon helped women bid adieu to the curlers, wasting time under hood dryers.  Sassoon modernized the locks of the chicest and most beautiful women in the fashion and Hollywood realms; from creating Mia Farrow’s avant-garde pixie cut to bringing modern coiffure to the likes of Grace Coddington, Mary Quant, and Carol Channing, the “Messiah of Hair” popularized low-maintenance and cutting-edge styles.

Burlesque artist/model and actress Dita Von Teese often wears glamorous 40s finger waves to go with those ultra-feminine gowns. Musician Gwen Stefani has been seen in a number of 1940s hairstyles such as the reverse roll.  Another popular musician, Katy Perry , is wearing her black wavy medium length hair in sexy 1940s waves at the Grammy Awards and the MTV Video Music Awards.
