Vintage Hairstyles - Tips & Tricks
Creating Pin Curls
Hair should be clean and slightly damp. Separate hair into several narrow sections. Take one section; twirl it with your index finger into a tight curl. Secure the curl tightly on the head with clips and pins. Make the curls in rows and secure them with pins. Just change the direction of the curl for each row. Let the hair dry for hours or leave it for overnight. Then remove the pins and clips and arrange the curls, as you like with pick. Finally use hairspray and add flowers or other vintage accessories as you wish.
Finger Waves
Lets see how to make finger waves. Part the damp hair into a wide section and comb it down. Move the fingers down the section and create a wave. Secure the waves with pins. Create waves at every two-finger width. After the hair dries remove the pins and clips. Finally finish it off with little curls at the nape of the neck.
Rag Curls
Using clean rags, cut 5 inches long, 1-inch wide rags. Part the hair into 1-inch wide sections and comb them down. Place a rag around a hair section just an inch above the scalp. Wrap the hair around this rag spirally. Tie up the ends of the rags. Do this for all hair sections and allow it to dry. Then remove the rags. You will get beautiful looking cute curls.
Rolls
When you think of vintage hairstyles you think of the rolls. To do rolls you need your hair to be at least shoulder-length. Doing rolls is a bit time consuming. But the end result is elegant and classic.
Rag Curlers
You want curls but not pins? Don’t want to sleep with all those clips and pins? Then rag curlers are for you. Curly hair gets its wild lock tamed with rag curlers. And straight hair gets those wonderful looking curls all over the head.
Vintage hairstyles give an aura of that past era and present that elegant and classic look.
