Partial Updo with Victory Rolls

Here is a great example of a typical 1940s hairstyle. The young woman is wearing a partial updo which features victory rolls on the sides. She uses an original looking accessory on top that resembles a crown of some kind. Her long dark hair cascades over her shoulders for a very feminine look. Her fair complexion and dark red lips are typical from this post war era and this photograph was taken just after WWII. That is my father in the picture with her.

This hairdo would be very simple re-create. Part the hair in the middle and take a section on each side and roll it around your finger and then secure with covered bobby pins. A strong hold hairspray helps to secure it.

These retro from the past hairstyles actually make a great impression with something a little different for such events as prom or other evenings out.
