The bang area is twisted up and over and it is pulled back and worked into the side swept ponytail which is full of gentle curls. Tiny white beads are worked into the style. A veil is attached to the back of this asymmetrical 'do. This would be perfect for the woman looking to add some 1940's charm to her wedding day.

Elegance is the one word that comes to mind when describing this sleek and beautiful bride's updo.

This woman has dark brown hair which is a nice contrast to the strand of pearls that graces the updo. Everything is pulled straight back for this style with no bangs. This would be a beautiful compliment to a strapless gown and no veil.

Here is a great look a like Betty Paige hairstyle that shows a good example of her bangs.

The jet black hair color is hot right now and these full and angled up bangs are edgy. This is a long bob and is inverted. The skin is a light complexion and the lips are red. The dress is black and white polka dots and all this adds up to 1950's retro flair.

Prom is getting closer and here we have a great wavy updo.

Light blonde locks shimmer in the sunlight and the crimped waves give a different spin on a traditonal style. A low pontytail is the best way to start this look and then use bobby pins to fan the strands out and place them where you want. Her suntan face is a nice look for Spring and of course spray tanning is a good option if one is concerned about sun damage.

Lots of color and pizazz here with Katy Perry's style.

Her shoulder length black bob with bangs cut straight across works well with the rest of her retro look. The sunglasses have a hint of the 1950's and her sweater dress of many colors and looks quite 60's-ish. Her bright pink lipstick is the icing on the cake.
