Mom Hair
Is it just me, or do they all look remarkably similar? You can tell these are the "modern" moms, because they are brunettes with sensible mom-hair. The "old fashioned" moms were blonde with a less sensible hair. To wit:
The blonde with the elaborate up-do, favored by 1940s pin-up idols like Ava Gardner:
She was so defined by her hair-do that it formed her name! (Notice none of the "modern" moms are called "brownie" or "blackie.")
The "I think she needs hot rollers and a LOT of hairspray to get it to do that:"
Who's more high maintenance, do you think, Blondie Bumstead or Alice Mitchell? It's a close call.
The blond with the less-labor-intensive Carol Bradyesque shag:

Don't forget Rose of "Rose is Rose" fame. She also has the same no nonsense "modern" mom 'do.
Off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone I know with this hairstyle.
As far as I can tell Blondie's hideous hairdon't hasn't changed much since 1930. Take a look:
