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.

In the 1940s, women began the trend of looking to the Hollywood starlets for inspiration on hairstyles, and here we have a vintage hairstyle from that era. This gal is sporting cascading waves with bangs rolled back and secured probably with a decorative barrette at the top and back of her head. A popular length during this time was just past the shoulders.

Here is an elegant updo with a hint of vintage. Hair is pulled back from a side part and secured into 2 high pigtails that are rolled up and secured to look like two large buns. This style has a 1940s edge to it and a peacock feather is added for drama. The colors in the feather look wonderful with this model's olive skin tone, dark brown hair and eyes. The colors in her eye make-up were inspired by the shades in the feather such as the cool blue. This hairstyle would look lovely for any evening event.

A vintage 1940s wedding photo can be your inspiration for an old fashioned glamorous big day. The groom has some great Hollywood glamour going on with his longish wavy bangs combed back to mimic popular actors of that time. The bride has a rolled up updo with a tiara and veil. Her bangs are swooped back and tucked beneath her hair accessory and the sides are swirled around as well. This is a very hansom couple.
