Adoption of short hair depended on culture, religion, politics and hair texture. While there were cuts that looked great with curlier hair, straight hair with scientifically precise waves (vs natural curl) was the high fashion standard.

The 1900s-1910s had 1860s nostalgia HARD. The 1920s were all-in for 1880s-1900s nostalgia. Legal booze! Nobody had ever heard of a World War! After WWII, nostalgia for 1900-1913 was at its peak, before it was finally supplanted for the 1950s nostalgia craze of the 1970s.

A lot (and I mean A LOT) of self-proclaimed liberals and progressives and general "not a racist bone in my body" declare that they can look past the racism of BIRTH OF A NATION to see the art because they are immune to propaganda. While parroting debunked propaganda about what the film "invented"

AN UNSULLIED SHIELD (1913) is an early (though not the earliest) example of the "ancestors climb down from their portraits" trope. A young wastrel is shamed for his partying ways by a mystic television program showing his forebears dying in combat.

Just look what he was getting up to. The dissipated loafer!

Oh no. He has hurt his foot. Of all the luck. How can he possibly dance now? What a terrible turn of events. (Naturally, he soon gets caught.)

Leatrice Joy knows she's busted in EVE'S LEAVES. Joy had adopted a severe bob (she said she did it on a dare from then-husband John Gilbert) but the studio was not happy that she went from spiral curls to a boy cut. This film was an attempt to play to her new, boyish look.

Not all the short cuts were on purpose. Pola Negri wanted to keep her long hair but a studio hairdresser burned a large portion off by mistake and they had to scramble, inventing the "tulip cut" before she adopted a more standard bob.

June's theme is... Vampires! In the silent era, they tended to be metaphorical.

Why we should not trust Bluesky's auto-mod: For my first trick, I will show it labeling a Victorian trick film, the Keystone Cops, and a stylized scene of hell as various forms of "adult content" My thread will not show if you have your default adult content settings on.
