The part is placed way over to one side and the top is swooped over. The curls are big a puffy but just concentrated on the bottom third and the rest is smooth and straight.

There is a side part and bangs are combed across the top of the forehead and styled with twists that turn back and forth for a true old fashioned appeal.

The short bob was the style of choice and these soft waves gave the ladies a feminine edge.This is a very pretty 'do with bangs arranged in an "S" shape up and around the perimeter of the forehead.
