How can you get this same hot look? Well, this gal has fine locks but she does have a lot of it. It helps that she has Great Lengths Extensions to add fullness and length. The use of a double barrel curling iron clamped down on a 2 to 3 inch section for a few seconds will get the bend. Then touch up with a single barrel held vertically with pieces wrapped around will finish the look. The trick is to use the fingers to style and do not comb through. A setting lotion that also protects against the effects of hot tools is a good idea to help protect the condition. Her color was done by a process called Glazification and this is done by a professional salon.

She is looking rather retro here with her long curls that begin at chin length. If you take a look here you can see how this style gets its roots from the 70s with some modern flair like a slight bit of back combing on top to add a touch of height at top back.

This young woman knows to get attention with this way out 'do.

She is actually a bride (believe it or not) as she is wearing a wedding gown with big orange print bow around the waist with matching mesh butterfly sleeves. Her locks have a matte finish which is quite edgy and her ratted very tall bouffant is pretty out there. This takes retro a step further with extreme measures.

1940s Hair and Clothes

This picture is a great example showing a young man, woman, and baby girl sporting styles for that era. The gentleman is wearing his locks in a slicked back manor with a deliberate part and vaseline was typically used to get the look. A white shirt and suspenders were in for him. The gal has pretty blonde curls that cascade over the shoulder with the sides pulled up and away from the face and secured with bobby pins. The simulation of rolls was common and you can see one big one right on top. Her short puffy sleeve blouse buttons up the front and is fitted with a rounded white collar. Skirts were normally worn. The toddler is wearing two little pigtails with bows.
