In the 1930s, the major trends for hairstyles were all about waves. With a softer look than the sleek bob and tight ringlets of the 1920s, women began wearing their hair in more feminine styles with parts sweeping to the side or down the middle. At the beginning of the decade, short hair still reigned with tresses kept close to the head. But as the 1930s marched on, women started opting for longer hair. Discover famous actresses of the time wearing wavy styles below.

The wavy hairstyles of the 1930s live on today, although many women wear their hair in less defined waves compared to decades past.
