Quick pin up girl/ 1940s hairstyle?

[darkrose]

I googled it, but the only styles I found used heat, or you had to leave it in at night (pin curls, rollers etc) I'm just wondering if you guys know any? It would be something I would wear at school, and something I could do in the mornings. :) thanks.

Actually pincurling is quite easy, I used to do it every night then when I wake up in the morning you barely have to do anything. I find it works even if you just do four big pincurls.

However, if you don't want to curl, you could always get a snood and do victory rolls in front. Or do an updo with victory rolls. Also, just adding a flower to your hair gives it a cute vintagey look. As well as making a deep part à la Veronica Lake. :)

I found FordQueens videos on YT very helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQqTfR5vHFU&feature=plcp&context=C3e44748UDOEgsToPDskJyKzfdOPUhYHnuvkCdNmUS
Nice style, works fine.

Kira94 the problem I have with pin curling is that I always twist my hair when I try to curl it. Wow. Veronica lake is so pretty, thanks for posting those:)

Sagi1982 thanks for the video link, I'm going to try those!:)

I'd do the veronica lake hair do or surf you tube

I like ilovegerardo's tutorials on YouTube. They are basic and quick, and you can get away with no heat.

The link above is her very first pin up tutorial and I do this style most frequently. She has several others if you look at her older Vids.

Hope I helped!

I'd do a couple of vicotory curls (check youtube) in the front and a low messy bun, worn a little to one side, decorated with a big brightly colored flower. This is the easiest, thing I can come up with that still looks pin up :)

Hope this helps! And take pictures when you're done so you can show us ;)!

I also loved victory rolls, I get a lot of ideas from lisa freemont street on youtube.

Actually I found even when I accidently twisted it still turned out fine. But if not pincurls then perhaps try the victory rolls? Or faux betty bangs and a pony tail or something? :)
