WHAT DOES MARCEL WAVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Marcelling

Marcelling is a hair styling technique in which hot curling tongs are used to induce a curl into the hair. Its appearance was similar to that of a finger wave, but made by a quite different means. Accounts vary about the invention of the style. Some reports ascribe the invention of the technique to Marcel Grateau, who invented it in 1872. François Marcel Woelfflé, who later changed his name to François Marcel, was granted U.S. patents for implements for performing the technique: the first, U.S. patent 806386, entitled "Curling-Iron", was published in 1905, and the second, entitled "Hair-Waving Iron", for an electric version, under the name François Marcel, was published in 1918. There is also a 1936 obituary for Francois Marcel Grateau, with dates matching those of the first-named Marcel Grateau. Given the dates, and the coincidence of names, it is quite possible that they were all the same man. Marcelled hair was a popular style for women's hair in the 1920s, often in conjunction with a bob cut. One famous wearer was Josephine Baker. It is a popular hairstyle for African-American men.
