Men Rocked Weird And Cool Vintage Hairstyles Hundreds Of Years Ago And Here Are 26 Of Them

by Maryjane

Men's designs in the past hundreds of years have been associated with class and neatness. When we look back at those times, we're accustomed to seeing clean beard growth, smooth pomades, extravagant hats, and suits, but this post will change the insight a bit as far as hair is concerned.

There have always been design and fashion renegades, or simply individuals with terrible hair days, or awful hair generally. There is an enthusiastic collector of vintage photographs named Robert E. Jackson, and he has more than 3,000 photographs in his collection.

He either searched them out or got them anonymously, but regardless, he retains ownership of all of his collections. The immense collection has numerous exceptional pictures, some of which you’ll get to see today.

He shares one-of-a-kind photographs, traversing from the early photography days to the late twentieth century, where you can see men with odd hairstyles. They are certainly not what we expect from those times as far as men's hairstyles go.

The reason and rhyme for having such hairdos escape us, and there's very little that we can do to discover more. But, they certainly flash a bit of curiosity.

However, the collection is also useful for understanding how fashion has evolved over time.

Some of these vintage hairstyles didn't quite fit into their era, but they would most likely be cool these days, and some of them are stylish, or acceptable at least. Some of them are simply kind of terrible and won't ever become popular, but who knows?

So if you like this vintage collection by Robert E. Jackson, you're presumably going to like his other photographs of the days of old.
