Vintage Hair Styles

Beauty : Haircare

Vintage Hair is back, celebrities such as Paloma Faith and Florence Welch have been styling their hair in Vintage Fashion. Not only are there some beautiful vintage hairstyles to choose from, but vintage hair is classy, glamorous and beautiful. Vintage hair was inspired and worn by ICONS! Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly were not only fashion icons but beautiful women.
You can get Vintage Hair by copying these icons, and soon enough you will feel fashionable and trendy and you may inspire your friends too!
Curls, Twists and Up-Do’s are very vintage and work well.

Here is a guide in the styles you can get!

Victory Rolls
Era: 1940’s
Difficulty: Moderate
Inspired By: Diana Dors
You will need: Hairspray, Kirby Grips, Wax, A Round Brush, Heat Protecting Spray, Straighteners.
Apply heat protecting spray to your hair. Use a comb to create a side parting.
Section of a part of your hair about 1-2inches wide.
Using straighteners clamp down on the hair midway down and twist the straighteners backwards as you move down the section of hair.
Do this for all sections of your hair.
Spray with hairspray.
Take a section from the front of your hairline that ends behind your ear.
Brush through the section to smooth down the hair
Take the hairspray and spray the back of your hair, use a comb to tease the back of the section.
Hold out two fingers and wrap the end of the section around it to create a loop once it is wrapped around release the fingers and pinch the side of the loop to make sure it stays put. Continue pinching this loop and start rolling it down the scalp. Once it has reached the scalp hold it in place with a Kirby grip, until it is secure.
Take your thumbs and insert them inside the roll on either end and begin to tug in opposite directions to alter the width.
Repeat the process for the other side of your head.

Marilyn Curls

Difficulty: Moderate
Inspired By: Marilyn Monroe
You will need: Hairspray, Curling Irons, Wax

Pin your fringe back (if you have one)
Tease each section of hair before curling.
Curl the front section of hair first.
Then continue curling sections of hair closest to the top of the head.
When you have finished the top layer of hair, continue through to the bottom layers of hair.
Unpin your fringe.
And gently curl these, and brush out all of your hair gently when done.
Finish with hairspray
