1940s Hair and Clothes
This picture is a great example showing a young man, woman, and baby girl sporting styles for that era. The gentleman is wearing his locks in a slicked back manor with a deliberate part and vaseline was typically used to get the look. A white shirt and suspenders were in for him. The gal has pretty blonde curls that cascade over the shoulder with the sides pulled up and away from the face and secured with bobby pins. The simulation of rolls was common and you can see one big one right on top. Her short puffy sleeve blouse buttons up the front and is fitted with a rounded white collar. Skirts were normally worn. The toddler is wearing two little pigtails with bows.

This young woman is sporting a typical 40s roll hairstyle that is adorned with a headband of flowers. Women and girls of this time period usually used rollers at night with wet hair and slept on them to awake in the morning with neatly curled locks. These were the days before blow-dryers.

Katy Perry looks retro 40s fabulous while performing at NBC's Today Show Summer Concert Series on Friday. Her medium length just past the shoulders curls are pinned up on one side with a lime green bow that stands out against her very dark brown almost black locks. She has a full bang that is curled under which is an old school deal. She looks like a glamor doll whose image may have been painted on the side of a WWII airplane or something. She has a unique style all her own that's for sure.

Retro hairstyles are really big right now and this one is from the decade of the 40s when victory rolls were all the rage. This young woman has her locks rolled toward the back as they cascade down her neck and they are secured into place with bobby pins. She is wearing a red hat that matches her dress and they are both true to form of that era.

Here is a modern, yet classy, yet vintage 40s look that is perfect for a woman who is in touch with her feminine side. This gal has cascading waves and very dark brown hair with a side part and is bang-less. Her very fair skin is a nice contrast to her almost black mane and red lipstick. Her dress is reminiscent of days gone by as well.
