The Featheredge (1940s)
The Featheredge technique is a method of hair shaping that creates a halo of curls around the hairline. It involves various styles, such as the horizontal part for taller women and the V-shaped part for shorter women, each designed to enhance the hair’s appearance and volume. The hair is divided into five main sections, and specific lengths are graduated to achieve tailored lines. Proper sectioning and layering are crucial to ensure even lengths and avoid common mistakes that can ruin the hairstyle. The technique emphasizes careful measurement and shaping to maintain the hair’s health and aesthetic.
