How to Get a Forties Inspired Hairstyle
- 1). Apply styling serum to clean, slightly damp hair. If the hair is too wet, it will not curl properly and you may not achieve the look you were hoping for.
- 2). Part your hair to the side. Actress Veronica Lake was famous for her deep side part, which resulted in her hair partially covering one eye. This style was referred to as the "peek-a-boo bang."
- 3). Wrap your hair in large hot rollers, all the way up to the crown. Reference the rollers' instructions for how long the hair will take to set.
- 4). Remove the rollers and gently brush the hair near the top of your head. Your hair should be straight on the top with large, gentle curls below. Brushing the curls is not recommended as it could damage them.
- 5). Finish by generously applying hairspray.
