Description

So you think the 80's had big hair.  This ad is from 1923 advertising hair products. 


I just love browsing those old pulp mags.  This is from Screenland, April1923

That beats how I had my hair in the 80s. But not by much

Maybe it's just generic 1920s, maybe she was a silent star, or they had supermodels back then, but her face looks familiar.

Here is the full page of the ad.  As you can see in typical 1920s fashion there is a complete story connected to it.

Wendy's used to have those on their tables. They were fun to read.

I immediately thought her face looked like Lilian Gish.

I do believe you're right. A quick image search shows a woman who looks remarkably the same, and in several of those photos she had a mound of hair like this.

I just recall her face.  And that she's probably one of three silent film actresses I can actually name off the top of my head
