We have 1940s and 1950s wigs to meet your costume needs, featuring some of the most popular hairstyles of the time. For men, the 50s was a time of greased back hair and duck tales – think Danny Zuko of Grease – and we have 1940s and 1950s wigs to help you achieve just the right look. Women's 1940s and 1950s wigs and hairstyles feature pin curls (think Shirley Temple) and almost all of the styles had some kind of wave or curl to them. Boufants and beehives were also popular, and it seems that the closer we got to the 60s and the shorter the skirts became, the longer the hairstyles started to be. Glamour was soft and romantic, with short to mid length curly hairstyles like Joan Crawford and Marilyn Monroe influencing the popular look. You can bring your own Marilyn look to life with our selection of 1940s and 1950s wigs, designed to help you capture the glamour of the day.
