Pinup girls rocked the updo and you can, too.
If you're looking for a fun and funky look that is both sexy and sophisticated, try the pinup style. Pinup hair was popularized in the 1940s -- featured in art on planes and other items during WWII. While such styles took hours at the beauty shop or sleeping on bumpy curlers overnight, modern women can achieve them in just a few minutes. Now that we have electric curling irons and various hair products, the Vargas girl look is far easier to achieve.
Instructions
1. Brush your hair, and divide it into three sections -- the front and sides. If your hair is fine or straight, spritz it with some curl enhancing spray to add texture and help hold the finished style. Mousse may also help with texture and finish.
2. Take the front section, and brush it down in front of your face. Place the curling iron on top of your hair, and roll the hair back up toward your scalp. Hold it in place long enough to develop the curl without burning the hair, and then release. Repeat the motion, until you feel the curl has enough volume to achieve your look.
3. Use your fingers to roll the curl one final time, and secure it using bobby pins. If your hair is fine or thick, you might need extra bobby pins.
4. Repeat the curling motion from Step 2 on each side to create "victory rolls," and secure with pins.
5. Place flowers, ribbons or other hair decor to help cover the pins and enhance the pinup-girl look. You may also choose to secure the sides of the hair in a bandana, to achieve the "Rosie the Riveter" look.
