Why did women begin to wear short haircuts and why did they start?

At the beginning of the 20th century you could rarely meet a woman with short hair. Practically, women only wore long hair and even added hair extensions. Everything changed after the First World War, when women began to be civilly active and went to the front. Under military conditions, it was almost impossible to take care of long hair, in addition, white handkerchiefs completely covered the head. As a result, some nurses have cut their hair. The other women who stayed home were forced to do men's work, and long hair was not practical.

Also at that time hot water and soap were almost a luxury and so it was easier to take care of shortcuts. A woman with short hair symbolized a new, liberated woman who controls her own life. Of course there were conservatives who criticized the new fashion, but, however, shorter haircuts managed to conquer the world. .
