The Betty Page Haircut
  THE BETTY PAGE HAIRSTYLE

 

Betty Page, the pinup queen
Betty Page is the epitome of full-figured, tough sexiness. In an era of repression, she brought a "bad-girl" sensuality that is reflected in the rockabilly lifestyle and music. The Betty Page hairstyle, often modified to be shorter in back, is very distinctive and immediately evokes an edgy, hard-core attitude that is almost punk rock. Black hair, either straight or a bit wavy, short bangs, and longer in back - this haircut can't be confused with any other.

With short bangs (to show off her forehead) and hair down past her shoulders, this Betty Page was a blue-eyed, wavy-haired brunette who was the most famous models of the 1940s.  She was a combination of girl-next-door freshness and dangerous sensuality.  Betty Page is still alive and hopes to live to 100.  Betty Page used the name Betty, but many photos and films referred to her as Betty Page, so Betty and Betty are basically interchangeable.  Betty was born in 1923 in Nashville on April 22nd, is 4-5.5" tall, weighed 130, and was 36-23-35.  

As an homage to the 1950s model, many Rockabilly Girls wear the Betty Page haircut, although modified by having shorter hair in the back.
