The short hair style stayed popular amongst most women till the late 1930's, hair was gradually worn longer in both waves, soft and hard curl. The majority of hairstyles were smooth at the crown to accustom hats while curls framed the face and the ends of the hair. Snoods (knotted hairnets) were one of the statement pieces worn throughout the era usually of velvet or chenille yarn.

Lips were painted in the style of the rosebud mouth which was plump, vibrantly coloured, moist and pert. Eyes were worn in lighter shades compared to the dark flapper look from the 20's with the lashes still full.
