These vintage hairstyles are best suited for shoulder length and longer hair. I would have posted some shorter hairstyles of the late 20s and early 30s, but I'm not quite sure how I could manage the styles since my hair has grown out some.
If you notice, I prefer vintage hairstyles that do not look "too costume-y" and also ones that look easy to manage and replicate. I am wondering how to get the voluminous waves as worn by Rita Hayworth, Veronica Lake, and Lauren Bacall. Hmm... I wonder if their hair was curled then continuously brushed out until the curls are nearly gone.
There are quite a few books you can purchase on Amazon on mastering vintage hairstyles, curling techniques, tips for waves...etc. I haven't purchased any but considering it. For some reason many of them are quite expensive, do they contain a magical potion or secret one will only discover if you drop $80+ on these books? *sigh* I think trial and error will be kinder to my wallet.
love your vintage style !

I find it terribly unfair that even in her seventies, Sophia Loren is still outrageously hot. And as for the hairstyles, most of those would work great today, especially if they were slightly more messy and "un-done."
ReplyDeleteHi, will you tell me who the pretty redhead is in the 5th photo down? I love her hairstyle and I think it may suit me well. Thanks for sharing! :)

ReplyDeletei'd love to see the shorter styles, R. my hair's grown longer and longer yet i still pine for shorter styles that to me will always be more *cool* than typical long tresses. those legendary names you mentioned - can't ever hold a candle to them.

JWKoester: The only red heads I see are Rita Hayworth (top) and Veronica Lake (7th down). Though I'm not sure why it looks red as it was actually blonde.
