1940s Roll Updo

Post WWII era was a time when patriotism was in vogue and the Victory Roll was very popular. This updo hairstyle takes that theme a step further with a big and bold statement that showcases three large rolls: one is at the back of the neck and the other two are on top of the head. The sides are slicked down to the scalp on the sides as they are brought up to form perfectly shaped structures.
