This is a lovely partial updo worn by a young woman in the 1940's.
This photo is authentic from that decade. The sides of her hairstyle are pulled back and then curled forward into rolls! The back is down and reaches the collar. The bangs are stacked on top of the forehead in a tuft. She is wearing period clothes and a corsage for a special event. Her dress has embroidery. Red lipstick was typical and a standard feminine statement. The Victory Roll was a popular style post WWII and a patriotic way to celebrate the success of the war for the Allies.
