Strands of American History

So I am procrastinating from working on my data analysis for my thesis by reading up on the NY Times. Here's a feature for today, July 4th which caught my eye. It's interesting to see how hairstyles have evolved over the years on not just anyone but the First Lady, mind you.

So, who's hairstyle are you in favor of? For me, I'm drawn to Jacqueline Kennedy's. I think its a nice bob cut that frames the face and not high-maintenance. Oops, that is probably because I have a bob now. Hah!
