EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1928, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a woman undergoing an innovative hair treatment at the Hairdressers Annual Exhibition. The woman, with a serene expression on her face, sits comfortably in a chair, her head enclosed in a chrome-plated hood. The contraption above her, an early electric hair dryer, hums softly as it dries her freshly washed hair. The sleek, shiny device, a marvel of the 1920s, replaced the time-consuming and laborious process of using towels and natural air to dry hair. The Hairdressers Annual Exhibition was a platform for showcasing the latest coiffure trends and treatments, and this image encapsulates the spirit of experimentation and innovation that characterized the era. The woman's sleek bob hairstyle, a popular style of the 1920s, is a testament to the transformative power of these new hairdressing devices. The use of electric hair dryers marked a significant shift in the way women cared for their hair, making it easier and faster to achieve the desired style. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the early days of electric hair dryers and the role they played in shaping the beauty industry.
