The glamorous look of the 1940s has made it's way back into popular culture. The looks and styles of the 40's are commonly seen on today's runways and red carpet affairs. One of the most sought after hairstyle of the 40s was the pin-curl look, made popular by movie stars in the post-World War Two era. Women of that day mastered this look in their own home and with the following steps, you can, too.
Instructions
1. Wash or wet hair in the evening. Towel dry hair to absorb excess moisture.
2. Separate hair into four sections. Using clips or rubber bands, hold three of the four sections in place, leaving one of the bottom sections hanging loose.
3. Grasp hair from the bottom of the loose section by one inch pieces and wrap around finger, securing each one in place with a bobby pin. Periodically view the back of your hair with the hand-held mirror to ensure that your curls are evenly distributed and pinned smoothly to head. Continue curling and pinning up until entire section is completed.
4. Repeat Step 3 on the remaining hair sections, reserving the upper two sections for last.
5. Wrap hair with a silk scarf and tie it to secure. According to 1940's Hairstyles and Rockabilly Glamour, you should sleep with pin curls in place overnight.
6. Remove pins upon waking in the morning to let curls fall free. Run your fingers gently through hair and spritz lightly with hairspray for hold.
