First Layered Wave Cut - 1978

Do you know your hair history?  The first layered waved bob cut was by Kim Lepine for La Coupe, in 1978.  The wave movements were cut into the style, a masterpiece of meticulous conceptual cutting, working with color and texture.  The softly waved look was like no other bob at the time – it was fuss-free, natural-looking.
