The article highlights the resurgence of 1920s hairstyles, particularly finger waves and kiss curls, which have gained popularity again, as seen at the 2025 Met Gala. Celebrity hairstylists Glen Oropeza and Jazmine Shepard note the styles' appeal, emphasizing their nostalgic charm and ability to elevate modern fashion. The deep sculpted waves and kiss curls reflect the Roaring Twenties' glamor, making them suitable for contemporary events. Tips for recreating these looks at home are also provided, showcasing their low-maintenance yet polished nature.
Finger waves were first popularized in the 1920s as a way for women, especially performers or 'flappers,' to add the appearance of curls before curling irons were widely accessible.
I do think there's a resurgence of kiss curls following the Black Dandyism theme at the Met Gala, which brought a vintage flair to the style.
They're a fun way to enhance any look, and add some glamour and sleekness, says Jazmine Shepard, a celebrity hairstylist.
It's a fabulous formal choice to dance the night away without worries, adds hair expert Bianca Hillier.
