1920s

Annie's Hair

Little Orphan Annie
Annie, of "Little Orphan" fame, has quite the hairstyle! Judging from the list of Annies we've had since the Broadway musical Annie struck gold in the 1970s, the vintage comic strip heroine has apparently sported her signature carrot coiffure like some version of a Harpo Marx cosplayer.

Actually, I think most of the stylists responsible for Annie's curly "do" over the last few decades got it wrong.
