Safety haircut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The safety haircut is as fascinating as its history. It was first introduced in the late 20's as a mass appeal haircut. Often sported at functions requiring approval from a range of different age groups and society types, the safety haircut grew in strength during the 30's. Like most cuts, the safety haircut was phased out by more new school styles. As the finger wave grew in popularity during a time when soft and wavy hair was a growing trend, the safety haircut was almost lost in time. But it would make an epic renaissance as new technologies developed the modern world. With the introduction of the internet, people looking for the mass appeal cut sifted through the web and were confronted by startling images from the great impressers of the 20's and 30's wearing the cut. And just like that the cut grew its way back into modern society. Sported these days by legends such as Michael Newman, the cut is truly one of the great hairstyles for a full scale impact.
