There are certain classic
styles that withstand the test of time. The look
of a beautiful hairstyle from 60 or 70 years ago
is just as eye catching today as it was then,
maybe even more so today. They remind us of a
time of elegance and femininity. This book shows
how to create so many of those hairstyles. This
2nd Edition takes hairstyles from the 1930s,
40s, 50s and 60s and breaks them down into
simple, easy-to-follow instructions. It uses
over 750 brand new photographs and illustrations
and detailed directions in a 200-page full-color
book.
The book begins with the
basic elements and works its way back to
advanced techniques. Chapter one describes the
tools and products used throughout. Chapter two
offers detailed instructions on creating
different curls, including the pin curl, the
basis for many vintage hairstyles. Chapter three
breaks down the proper way to comb the curls for
the effect including creating finger waves,
Marcel waves, victory rolls, pompadours, and
waves from pin curls. The fourth chapter of the
book provides step-by-step start-to-finish
detailed instructions for 33 different
hairstyles created with different hair lengths
and textures. The final 2 chapters provide ideas
for hair accessories, makeup and nails to finish
the look.
No matter your skill level or
hair type, Vintage Hairstyling:
Retro Styles with Step
by Step Techniques has something
for everyone. If you are just looking for a
hairstyle for a special occasion like a period
wedding or a style to go with a vintage prom
