1920's Bob

chris-2599934 · September 2018

There are a lot of bobbed hairstyles in the Daz store (and elsewhere) but they all seem to be modern or 1960's styles. I can't find a 1920's style for the iconic flapper look. Something like this:

The sides curling forward to a point seems to be a classic feature, and one that I haven't found in Daz hair. There are more examples here: https://www.google.com/search?q=1920s+bob+haircut&tbm=isch

Does anyone know any suitable products?

Little Melody looks like it's close: https://www.daz3d.com/little-melody-hair

A bit wavy, though, and you may need to parent rather than fit if you're using a later figure.

The other stuff I can see that's period-appropriate -- Fingerwave, Gia, Zarah -- is all very wavy.

Swizzle is sort of the right shape, but has no curl, and it's not possible to tell from the product page if it has a morph that curls the ends: https://www.daz3d.com/swizzle-bob-hair-for-genesis-8-female-s

Thanks for your suggestions everybody.

Since it's in the sale today, I bought Foxy Hair, as I think it's the closest available. The original hair materials look OK in iray, but I applied OutOfTouch's Iray Pair shaders from Rendo to get a better result. Pair it with a suitable outfit and I think it looks pretty good. I'd like a sharper edge to the bangs (I'll try editing the opacity map to see if I can do that) and for the sides to curl forward more, but it's a reasonable fit to what I was looking for:
