Myrtle's Hair Style, Finger Waves


The classic 1920's style for women was finger waves. The hair was generally short and shaped into a fitted bob. Flapper girls often represented the look of finger waves, as did the richer women, but I also want Myrtle to have finger waves for the first shoot - where she is happy and inlove with Tom.


I am choosing finger waves for this shoot because its representing the time in the novel in which Myrtle is happy being Tom's mistress. Despite Myrtle actually wanting more, she will settle for what she has with Tom because its much better than what she has with her husband, George.

Another reason for wanting to use this hairstyle is because it represents how Myrtle is trying to be like Daisy, Tom's wife. From this image, we can then see the character deteriorate and express the change in emotion that this character goes through in the novel.
