Vintage hairstyle instructions & Pics

[K_Angel]

I just came across this vintage hairstyle blog. It has pics from magazines from the 40's. some styles are even long hair pics. But what I liked is that you could get creative ideas even from the short styles, well, how they looked when they were done. It started my imagination churning... I thought well, if I pin curled and left them there instead of brushing them out like the short haired girl would do, it would look pretty cool! :p

Anyway, just wanted to share the URL:

these are amazing! the backcombing made me cringe every time shudder:

[heatherbelle]

Wow those are classic beautiful hair styles! Can't wait to have my long hair for some of those ;) I especially like the 1911 article on Hair Care. Funny how 100 years later we still follow some of those oh so simple rules :D

Thanks for sharing all the links, I enjoyed them.

[K_Angel]

I really like this 1940's style and I'm sure it could be easily adapted to long hair:

You're welcome. :)

I'm thinking since I have short bangs, that maybe I can learn to pin curl them in ways that might be a cool change of hair style. :)

These links are incredible!
I am going to book an hour at the library so the pics load faster & I have less background chatter...! :)
I really wish my Granny was still alive - I'm sure she'd have several tart comments on my hair care, and would enjoy the pictures just as much.

[HintOfMint]

Fabulous links! Thank you so much!

My favorite thing about the original links is the little section called Keeping the Hair Pretty (http://frazzledfrau.tripod.com/titanic/pretty.htm). Somehow in 1911 (a century ago!) they knew stuff that everyone subsequently forgot.

"To curl the hair with a hot iron is injurious. If your hair is straight, try to find some pretty way to dress it naturally, or use kid-curlers to give it the desired wave."

"Never tie the hair with an elastic; this breaks the hair; use, instead, a soft cotton cord or string."

Also they recommend "never should the hair be washed oftener than once in three weeks." :D

[PrincessBob]

Not everything is clear, but it is certainly informative!

[allmixedup88]

thank you!

[Elistariel]

Has anyone figured out how to do the topknot coil? Especially what to do with that bottom ponytail? :confused:

[Madora]

@chenille...

Thanks for the link to that wonderful article on hair care from 1911!

An excellent article! The author knew a thing or two about caring for long hair! Really made me smile!

Found this 1905 instructional:

There are some awesome links in this thread. Thanks for posting them.

Trying to figure out the pompadour in front - is it simply combed straight forward, then smoothed up and back?
