Retro: 50's hair styles
I am looking for photos that show examples of 50's hair-do's. I am planning a 50's style pin-up shoot and need to pick a hair style that will enhance the 50's look. Any ideas were I can find pictures?

When I wanted to learn 50s hairstyling I went straight to the source. I went on Ebay and bought some dell purse books, they are full of "styling tips" and setting patterns that are actually from the 50s. So you kinda have to test different things out to see how they work and see what modern products can do a better job. Aug 14 06 10:03 pm Link www.thepinupfiles.com Those are paintings,but I taught myself how to do the hair by looking at the photos.It takes a lot of practice and patience though. I use setting lotion,hair spray, hot rollers, 1/2'' curling iron and bobby pins. I use flowers to cover any flaws I may notice so that I dont have to totally redo it. Aug 14 06 10:10 pm Link another thing to remember is that the hairstyles in the 50s were done with wet sets. So if you really want to be authentic you can have the model sleep with the rollers or go under one of those hood dryers.

You'd have to be OLD, like me....48. The socks were soft, so it was easy to sleep on....lol Aug 15 06 02:19 am Link dani faye wrote: timely nod. soon to be working with 181607 Aug 15 06 02:44 am Link |
