===Inter-war years=== [[File:Rudolph Valentino.jpg|thumb|upright|Movie star [[Rudolph Valentino]]]] During the First World War, women around the world started to shift to shorter hairstyles that were easier to manage. After WWI women started for to [[Bob cut|bob]], [[Bob cut|shingle]] and [[Pixie cut|crop]] their hair, often covering it with small head-hugging [[Cloche hat|cloche]] hats. In Korea, the bob was called {{Transliteration|ko|tanbal}}.<ref>{{cite book|last=Jun Yoo|first=Theodore|title=The politics of gender in colonial Korea: education, labor, and health, 1910β1945|year=2008|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0-520-25288-2|page=76}}</ref> In Europe and the US the bob was seen as a step towards women's liberation.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Roberts |first=Mary Louise |date=June 1993 |title=Samson and Delilah Revisited: The Politics of Women's Fashion in 1920s France |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/2167545 |journal=The American Historical Review |volume=98 |issue=3 |pages=657β684 |doi=10.2307/2167545 |jstor=2167545 }}</ref> Women began [[marcelling]] their hair, creating deep waves in it using heated scissor irons.

During the 1930s women began to wear their hair slightly longer, in [[pageboy]]s, bobs or waves and curls.<ref name="yarwood216"/> During the 1920s and 1930s, Japanese women began wearing their hair in a style called {{Transliteration|ja|mimi-kakushi}} (literally, "ear hiding"), in which hair was pulled back to cover the ears and tied into a bun at the nape of the neck. Waved or curled hair became increasingly popular for Japanese women throughout this period, and permanent waves, though controversial, were extremely popular. Bobbed hair also became more popular for Japanese women, mainly among actresses and {{Transliteration|ja|[[Modern girl|moga]]}}, or "cut-hair girls," young Japanese women who followed Westernized fashions and lifestyles in the 1920s.<ref name="slade2010" /> During this period, Western men began to wear their hair in ways popularized by movie stars such as [[Douglas Fairbanks Jr.]] and [[Rudolph Valentino]]. Men wore their hair short, and either parted on the side or in the middle, or combed straight back, and used [[pomade]], creams and [[Hair conditioner|tonics]] to keep their hair in place.
