Earlier
The Great Depression in the USA and not only, the period of gangsters, prohibition and the stratification of society by living standards are signs of the 30s of the last century. Nevertheless, a chicago hairstyle was a great addition to diamonds, long mouthpieces, boas and tight-fitting dresses. Fashionistas around the world are still inspired by the mystery and sophistication of the close friends of insanely wealthy millionaires and cool mafiosi. The smile and playful look of a lovely lady in a short low-waist dress or a look from under the woman's eyebrows hardly left anyone indifferent. The classic image of the inhabitant of the gangster Chicago is a black dress, pearls and magnificent fur, long gloves that hide the girl’s hands almost to the shoulders, and a long mouthpiece.

hairdresser less often
. The preliminary straightening of curly hair by heat treatment, which appeared in London in 1909, the abundance of styling products (masks, gels, mousses, balms, waxes, varnishes and lotions), including to create the effect of wet hair, as well as lengthy drying under a hairdryer, require some victims - money, time and patience, which are also justified because during sleep, a mesh is worn on the hair with a lack of volume.
