Bob

The Bob was the classic look of the 50s and 60s; the style was short and straight but blow-dried and curled under. At it's worst the style could make you look like a mushroom, but at best with the curl accentuating your cheekbones it created an incredibly sexy look. Bob has become a description of the hair length from ear-length to the shoulder. Now you can get straight bobs, or the ends flicked out or in.
