Noteable Haircuts & Hairstyles Reference
Finger Wave
A finger wave is a method of setting hair into waves (curls) that was popular in the 1920s and 1930s and in the late 1990s in North America and Europe.
The process involves pinching the hair between the fingers and combing the hair in alternating directions to make a wave shape. A lotion was applied to the hair to help it retain its shape.
This style was eventually superseded by hair rollers.
Flattop
A flattop is a type of very short hairstyle similar to the crew cut, with the exception that the hair on the top of the head is styled to deliberately stand up (typically no more than an inch or two) and is cut to be flat, resulting in a haircut that is square in shape. It is most often worn by men and boys, particularly those in the military and law enforcement in the United States.
Flip
a medium cut where the ends are flipped up.
Fofa
A Fofa is a type of hairstyle, short to medium length on the sides and back, with a receding hairline from the forehead back due to a natural baldness. Usually found on distinguished gentlemen and derived from the style of monks.
It is usually found in older men, due to the fact that they experience hair loss. It will be usually accompanied by lighter ,white, or grey hair.
French Braid
A French braid is a popular hairstyle. Unlike a regular three-strand braid, a French braid starts with small sections of hair at the crown of a person's head, and intermittently, more hair is added to each section as the braid progresses down the head. The classic French braid is a single braid at the back of one's head, though variations on this hairstyle include side braids and twists.
An inverted French braid (also called a Dutch braid) is created when the hair sections are crossed under each other, instead of over. It results in the look of a braid standing up from the rest of the hair, instead of being under the hair.
French Twist
A French Twist is a common, simple and elegant "Updo" hair styling technique. It is created by gathering hair in a low ponytail (not secured) and twisting the ponytail upwards until it turns in on itself against the head. It is then secured with pins, clips, sticks, or a comb.
French Twists are usually worn to Proms and weddings when they are in a tight fashion but for a messier and looser look you could wear it to the office or out on the town. Hair clips are also commonly found in French Twists.
