How Do You Spell MARCELLED?

Pronunciation: [mɑːsˈɛld] (IPA)

The word "marcelled" is spelled with two L's, despite the fact that the sound represented by these letters is only pronounced once. This occurs because the word is derived from the French term "Marcel wave," named after hairstylist François Marcel. In IPA notation, the word is transcribed as /mɑːˈsɛld/, with the stress on the second syllable. While the spelling may seem unusual, it is essential for accurately conveying the origin and history of the term.

MARCELLED Meaning and Definition

1. The term "marcelled" refers to a specific hairstyle or hair treatment that became popular during the early 20th century. This hairstyle is characterized by deep, regular waves or curls, typically achieved through the use of a hot curling iron or an arrangement of heated curling tongs.

   The process of creating marcelled hair involves the meticulous setting and shaping of the hair into evenly spaced curls or waves. This is often achieved by dividing the hair into small sections and wrapping them around the curling iron or tongs, leaving the hair in place until it retains the desired shape and texture. The resulting curls are often symmetrical and merge seamlessly with adjacent waves, giving the hairstyle a distinct and elegant appearance.

   The term "marcelled" originates from the French hairdresser François Marcel, who is credited with inventing the hot curling iron in the 1870s. Marcel's innovative tool made it possible to create controlled and long-lasting curls, revolutionizing the way individuals styled their hair. The popularity of the marcelled hairstyle continued into the 1920s, becoming an iconic and fashionable choice, particularly among women.

   Today, the term "marcelled" is often used more broadly to describe hairstyles that feature deep waves or curls, regardless of the specific curling technique utilized. The term represents a historical hairstyle trend that has left a lasting impact on the world of hairdressing and fashion.
