The 40’s was a time of World War II and the then a time of rebuilding when the war was over into the 50’s. Hair fashion changed somewhat from very short hair to longer hair in soft and hard curls. Shoulder length hair and pageboy bobs were very popular. The pompadour came to age in the 50’s, as the hair was worn over the forehead area in puff or in rolls. Perms were invented in this time period to create the various types of curls. The costume wigs below are from that time period. Get a Marilyn Monroe wig or a Lucy Wig to meet your needs.
