🖤THE BOB of the 1920s actually got its start in 1915 when famous ballroom dancer, #IreneCastle cut her hair short just before having surgery for appendicitis. She thought that it would be easier to wash & comb her hair during her convalescence if it was shorter. Castle had a reputation for being a style icon &trendsetter, so cutting her hair was not a decision she took lightly. Once she fully recovered from her illness & surgery she was ready to hit the dance floor again, but not ready to debut her bobbed tresses. She wore a turban to hide her hair but was persuaded to join friends out for dinner with her hair uncovered. The public went wild for the daring new hairstyle. It became known as the "Castle Bob".
Many hairstylist refused to be party to the shocking hair rebellion & turned away young women looking for the trendy cut. Hairstylists who were willing to cut a woman’s hair so drastically found that they were ill-equipped to cut & style women’s hair into the modern bob. They had only even trimmed long hair with shears. The women visited barber shops, instead, because they barbers were more willing to chop off their hair & had an assortment of fine scissors & clippers.
