The Middy

The middy was *the* haircut of the 40's. There was some variety in length, but most people stuck to the same basic cut. I've toyed around with getting this cut before but I couldn't find a good picture of someone with it unstyled who also had hair like mine (i.e. completely straight). Well, today I found one!

She also has many, many other wonderful vintage hairstyling videos. Check out her youtube channel here.
