The finger wave hairstyle first made an appearance in the 1920s as a softened version of the severe bob that often accompanied the iconic flapper style. The style gained popularity through usual means that are no different from today; Hollywood stars would wear the style and effectively contributed to the popularity and evolution of the hairstyle.
