What a sweet look for a special occasion, prom, or everyday, and this young woman here has just the one.

Her honey blonde hair is slicked back and held tightly to the scalp as it is brought to the back of the head and secured into a ponytail and then formed into a neat bun. Her bangs are sectioned off and pulled to the side and with the help of strong hold hairspray, it stays in place. A pretty white ribbon is tied around the bun and a bow is created on top. Her red and black polka dot strapless dress and white pearls along with red earrings are a perfect way to celebrate a classic 1950's look. Her black eyeliner extends past the eyes for a flirtatious spark.

The top is tousled, full, and cut in layers that help with the lift. There is no part and a full bang. The back is longer down to shoulder length and is cut in graduated lengths. The ends are flipped up and out for a full of volume appeal. The color is medium brown with honey highlights. To help with styling turn head upside down and blow dry to remove a good amount of moisture. Then use vent brush to lift at the roots while directing heat there. After strands are completely dry, use a medium barrel curling iron to touch up ends. Products such as gel help to hold the curl. Finishing with hairspray helps to keep things in place.

1940's WWII couple

This is my aunt and uncle so I know the story. This man was a tail gunner on a B17 bomber during WWII. He came home on one leave during his deployment and this photo was taken at that time. He is wearing his military uniform and has his arm around his young wife who is wearing her hair in a classic pin up style. Her hair is dark, full of curls, and shoulder length. The top has height while the sides are bobby pinned close to the scalp to give the appearance of a partial updo. It was common for women of this era to wear a simple white blouse and a patterned print skirt that has a wide waist band and pleats. The length is to the knee. Her shoes lace up and bobby socks were fashionable.

Her hair color medium brown with several shades of highlights for a chunky appeal including bleach blonde. A vent brush and hairdryer can help with the styling of this one while lifting from the scalp and brushing through. The ends can be scrunched with the fingers while still wet to add a bit of a bend to the strands.
