Noteable Haircuts & Hairstyles Reference
Pageboy The pageboy (or page boy) is a hairstyle named after a drawing of a woman dressed as an English page boy. It involves straight hair hanging to below the ear where it usually turns under. Often there is a fringe (bangs) in the front. In the 1950s, the New York City hairdresser M. Lewis popularized this style. In the film Pulp Fiction the character of Mia Wallace, played by Uma Thurman, sports a pageboy. Although it is currently a women's hairstyle, some men have worn it such as the fictional characters He-Man and Prince Valiant. The pageboy is similar to a long bob hairstyle. A pageboy flip has the bottom reversed to curl outward. Perm A permanent wave, commonly called a perm, is the chemical treatment of hair to produce curls. In cosmetology, it is termed a type of curl reformation. Humans have been attempting to add curl to straight hair for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians did this by wrapping their hair around wooden sticks; slathering it with mud from hot springs; letting it bake dry in the sun and then removing the mud. Presumably the mud had an alkaline chemical makeup that helped to set the curls. Pigtails describe a hairstyle in which the hair is parted down the middle and tied into two bundles, one on each side of the head. The style is popular among toddlers and young girls. Pigtails, in the strictest sense, most often refer to the joining of symmetric or semi-symmetric groups of hair (as viewed along the centerline of the scalp), secured with hair tie of some sort, with the majority of the hair allowed to hang free or secured in such a way as to not mix with any hair across a definitive part. Pixie A very short hair cut for women that almost resemble school boy looks. Ponytail A ponytail is a hairstyle in which most or all of the hair on the head is pulled away from the face, gathered and secured at the back of the head with a hair tie and allowed to hang freely from that point. It gets its name from its resemblance to the undocked tail of a horse or pony. Ponytails are most commonly gathered at the middle of the back of the head, or the base of the neck. Depending on fashions, they may also be worn at the side of the head, or on the very top of the head. Ringlet A ringlet is a type of hairstyle. It is achieved by wrapping a lock of hair around the length of a thin curling iron or can be sported naturally by people with sufficiently tightly curled hair. Ringlets are often also known as tube curls.
