Yep, these are officially stunning hairstyles! I love the swoops and dips, peaks and waves at play here. Really, more than styles, they're works of hair art and deserve to be celebrated as such (which this post does a great job of, I should add).

Ahh, lovely. Back then women really had a "hair do", today almost no one "does" anything. Thank you for sharing. :)
