The Dengler Domain: Hairstyles

Hairstyles are big contribution in perceiving someone. A nice ‘do impresses or drives away the opposite sex. While hairstyles evolve over time, some hairstyles stick around. The hairstyles of the 1950s made a large impact which is still present in today’s society. The biggest stars of Hollywood sported hairdos the rest of society copied. The three biggest hairstyles of the 1950s were the side part, long pompadour and the crew cut.

The side part was shorter hair with the part of the skull showing and this look is making its comeback in today’s society. This haircut shows off an area of the skull where early baldness can be detected. A bold and unique look is exhibited. While I have no problem with male pattern baldness at this time, I would be scared to adopt this haircut for this reason. Nonetheless, this haircut gives off a distinguished and classy look.

The long pompadour is a name of a haircut I never heard of until researching for this article. Yet, this ‘do is very familiar as it was made famous by James Dean, Elvis Presley and the Fonz. As the Fonz would say, “Ehhhhh.” Not a bad look in my book. With longer hair greased to the back, the hair has a freeing style. This style lets luscious locks of hair flow with no bounds. With James and Elvis sporting this look, this had to be the go to look for rebellious kids.

The crew cut is the most familiar haircut because it reminds me of our servicemen and women. The buzz or short hair look works for individuals losing the battle to male pattern baldness. This ‘do also is a crisp cut which adds sophistication to one who has it. While the long pompadour is wild and crazy and the side part shows off the skull, the crew cut is simple and not risk worthy. This haircut is the lasagna of haircuts, it is not going to be great but not going to be bad. The crew cut is just right.

If I were to go with one of these signature ‘dos, it would be the long pompadour. I have always loved having long hair so this is the haircut for me. I crave the ruggedness which comes this look. Second is the crew cut for its simple but gets the job done look. As a child I sported the buzz cut, and this hairdo would take me back to those wonderful days. Third and last is the side part. I am not a fan showing my skull and the grease needed for my hair. I have never liked greasing my hair, and this haircut unfortunately requires it. With that being said, it is time to hit the open road in a Lincoln Continental with the wind blowing through my long pompadour hairstyle.
