Soft waves! Marilyn Monroe inspired hairstyle

I chose this style instead of the perhaps more classic, soft and curly look which miss Monroe is so known for. I also feel this style is a little more "mod" Marilyn.. However, I like both the curly and sleek look equally.
About the style: You could probably use hot rollers instead of doing the big pin curls.. it would certainly be quicker, it's up to you. For me, I don't like exposing my hair to heat, plus I think doing the soft pin curls gives the hair a whole other texture - plus it lasts longer than the hot rollers!

Anyway, Hope you like this, enjoy :)

If my bangs are like a little bit longer than my eyebrows what could I do with them? :/

[ClassicRetroGlamour]

@vaLeryspOtz It depends.. You can try and pin curls them backwards, that can make it a little bit easier to blend them. And use hairspray and pomade to help shape them away from your face.. If all else fails and you really wanna try this, let them grow out :p

Would this work if you had long hair (way longer than yours)?

[ClassicRetroGlamour]

@yasminrules123 If by work, you mean, getting it to look like this with looong hair, the answer would be, no. The result would be different, naturally. But of course you can use the setting pattern to curl your hair even if it's longer than this.. :) Go for it.

I love your tutorials! But I'm curious, what type of setting spray do you use before you set you hair?

[ClassicRetroGlamour]

@Heather3141 I don't use a setting spray.. I just use water.

should your hair be damp when you start this? or how wet or dry?

[GeeLifesSwell]

Please do a curly Marilyn!! :) Great video. I tried really hard to do this but when I was through my hair was just wavy & going crazy. It never does what I want...what's new??
