Here is a photograph of some real 1940's hairstyles. My father is the man on the right and he is posing with his merchant marine buddy in this picture. The two of them have found a couple of gals to pose with them. The women are sporting typical 1940's style with their wavy hairstyles. The woman on the right is donning an interesting hair piece.

Hairstyles trends for today are certainly obtaining some inspiration from days gone by. Wavy hairstyles are once again popular as well as the use of hair accessories. These women both have feminine waves while the woman on the left has shorter hair, but they both have pulled the front and sides of their hair back with a rolled effect.

The influence of Hollywood stars during WWII had women opting for glamorous and feminine hairstyles. Notice their dark red lips. Even though this photo is black and white, one can tell that their lips had to be red.

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt

Jennifer Aniston shows how to wear a ponytail as a sexy updo. This hairstyle would be perfect for a fun date. Many celebrities are wearing long hair pulled back into ponytails for many events; even to take a walk down the red carpet. So, if you are searching for a fun and sexy updo, consider a ponytail.

To style your own hair like Jennifer's, start with hair that is not freshly washed as it is easier to work with. Jennifer's fine hair straighens easily with the use of a large round brush and blow-dryer. To get some lift on the top of the crown, back comb hair in this area. Smooth the top layer with a brush and brush hair back into a ponytail that sits about in the center of the back of the head. Use a covered elastic band to secure the ponytail. Leave some bangs out and brush them to the side. A flat iron can be used to help straighen them. Finish with a spritz of hairspray.

Have fun with your sexy celebrity updo.

Looking for a short and easy hairstyle? This very short cropped style is great for a woman on the go, and who says short hair is not sexy.

Her hair is layered to give it texture and fullness on the crown. This hairstyle is easy to style with a small round brush and blow-dryer. Just spritz damp hair with a volumizing spray or thickening spray and blow-dry while pulling hair around the brush. The very bottom layers should be flipped up slightly while blow-drying.

This short and easy hairdo is perfect for the sports-minded woman who also likes to look sexy and fun for evening.

Meg Ryan   

Meg Ryan is known for her bedhead look, but in this picture of her, she is wearing a trendy short sedu hairstyle. It looks great on her and can look great on you as well. Her hair is cut in a short layered hairstyle with blonde highlights. Her hair has a textured look to it.

To get her look, blow dry hair with a round brush lifting hair at the roots to add lift, then dry hair in a downward motion. When hair is dry, spritz with a little hairspray. Use a flat iron to bend the ends up. Use some pomade or a texturizing creme to define the strands.
