Rockabilly Hairstyles

    Rockabilly is the reflection of rough sensuality, tough sexiness which is inspired by '40s pinup model, Bettie Page. In an era of repression, she brought a "bad-girl" sensuality that is reflected in the rockabilly lifestyle and music. Her trademark hairstyle - long dark hair with shorter temple-to-temple bangs - is very popular among retro lovers.

    Hair is styled with volume on the top of the head and styled close at the sides, cascading in waves or curls along the crown and down the neck. Bangs are kept straight and smooth.

    Rockabilly is a genre of rock'n'roll, hillbilly and country music. This music genre emerged in the 1950's and big contributors to the recognition of this style were Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Sam Phillips, etc. Some of the elements that characterize this particular style of music are: strong rhythm and beat, extreme vocal styles, energetic guitar solo, recognizable country and rhythm and blues influences.
