Pin Up Hairstyle-Earl MacPherson Inspired Conservative Pompadour

The style was inspired by the accompanying print by Earl MacPherson. It is an alternative hairstyle using the Top Reverse Roll settingl (see link) without doing a full-on pomp.

I am a new subbie and I am not sure if u already have a video for this or not but I would love to see how to do 1940's style finger waves!

@ladykc15 I just did a finger waving tutorial. In the 40's the water waving technique was different. See my Veronica Lake tutorial...

The hair doesn't damege making pincurls?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@catgabs why would it? :-?

[catgabs]

@LisaFreemontStreet i don't know xD I'm just asking, so, you prefer make pinculrs with wet hair?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@catgabs Not wet....sprayed damp. And yes. Pin Curls are important for vintage styling.

@LisaFreemontStreet  I think I might try bobbypins first, but if that doesn't come out right I'll go find some combs. Thanks! :]

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@MissScarlettOHara Bobby pins are fine but side combs are a worthy (and inexpensive) investment if you plan to do vintage styles. My favorite are Grip Tuth side combs...

[MissScarlettOHara]

That looks fantastic! I definitely want to try it out sometime! Though, I wonder, would it look quite as right if I use bobbypins instead of sidecombs? I ask this because I don't actually own any sidecombs. ^.^;

That looks great! Authentic.
