In the 1920s, the era’s iconic sculpted waves came from two intertwined techniques: #FingerWaves and the #MarcelWave. Finger waves were formed by hand using a comb and setting lotion, no heat and popular across the US and Europe for their sleek, graphic S-shapes. The Marcel Wave, created with the heated Marcel iron invented by French hairdresser Marcel Grateau, originated in France and spread through Paris, London, Berlin, and New York. Both styles became inseparable from Flapper Girls — short bobs, sharp waves, and a new visual language of freedom, modernity, and rebellion. Not just a hairstyle, but a statement. *Photo: Hollywood star Joan Crawford @kateStrasdin @carolquarini @MadameGilflurt @wikivictorian @TheVFG @Vickyhaddock @plummie9 #1920s #FlapperStyle #JazzAge #FashionHistory #HairHistory #WomenInStyle #ModernWoman #JoanCrawford #Flapper #FlapperGirls #Fashion #HollywoodEra

testing different ways to make a fingerwave/marcelwave bob with #CharlieMorningstar from #HazbbinHotel In case you don't know what that is, it's one of the iconic hairstyles popular during the 1920s and 1930s.

If you wanted a great #MarcelWave like #JoanBlondell, you had to trust your locks to this contraption. I spotted one at the #HeritageSquareAntiqueMall recently. #fingerwave #OldTech #AntiqueBeauty #PermanentWave #TBT #Rilling

I maintain a website, because social media come and go. On it I have written a post about the inspirations for my new video, because everything is more fun with a lengthy monologue 😉🌗 🌚 marcelwave.net/monologue/vid… #MarcelWave #TheMoonKing #tuesdayvibes #NewMusicVideo #synth

Does anyone recognise this beauty? From the corner of the pic, it looks like her name begins "Marg" or "Marj". I'd love to know who she is! #1920s #Flapper #MarcelWave #AfricanAmericanBeauty #Stunning
