Finger waves were developed in the 1920's to add style to, and soften the hard appearance of the bobbed hairstyles that became very popular during the flappeer period. The same time as the status of women was gradually changing politically and socially. Since then, short hairstyles for women got shorter and shorter. And as women became bolder, politically active, and too busy being a wage earner, wife and housekeeper, short hairstyles have become a necessity for women.
Many Hollywood movie stars wore the latest finger waves which added to the popularity and progression of this style.
One of my favorite images is of Josephine Baker and her Eton sleek hairstyle:
Finger waving is molding the hair while wet with water and styling gel into "S"- shaped curves. This curves created using fingers and comb.
Short hairstyles for women continue to be big hit in 2012-13. Celebrities such as Emma Watson, Michelle Williams, Ginnifer Goodwin and Posh Spice have carried their short hairstyle to today.
I like short hair on many women of different ages, this style is hot and sassy if well looked after.
