About This Quiz

From the early 1900s topknots to 1960s inverted bobs, there are many different hairstyles that have evolved over the course of human history. Some of these hairstyles became popular with celebrities and actresses, while others were due to social and political changes within the world. So let's heat those hair rollers up, because we're about to take a look at some of the most trendy hairstyles of all time!

If the name "Jean Harlow" rings a bell, it's probably because you remember her iconic curls. Hollywood starlets were a big influence on hairstyles during this time, which helped to inspire looks like finger waves and pin curls. About 10 years later, Veronica Lake would become popular because her long hair partially covered her right eye. This also created iconic hairstyles like barrel curls, victory curls and short fringes. If we fast-forward into the '50s, you'll find many short and elegant hairstyles. Audrey Hepburn was a big influence during this time, as well as Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly. Popular looks included "The Italian Boy," the pixie cut and the French twist. Hair has since evolved into sleek and straight looks, loose curls and layered pixie cuts. So if you're curious about which haircut era matches your sense of style, then it's time to take our old-fashioned beauty quiz now!
