1950's hairstyles?

I don't know what to do with my hair for my senior prom. I have medium length hair with bangs; my bangs reach under my nose. If anyone know any good 1940's or 50's hairstyles that would look good with my hair please tell me.

Hair was a big deal in the 1940's and 1950's, and had a very unique look, so you'll have to learn how to do your hair (or have it done) right by going to this website:

http://www.nocturne.com/swing/hair/hair....

They have step by step instructions and photos on how to style your hair.

The first thing you have to do is determine if you can do the style that you want . Hair was cut to the same length everywhere on the head (so your bangs might prevent you from being able to do some hair styles). Long hair is ok, and actually a good thing because it let's you do more with your hair.

To prep your hair, you'll need to curl it (don't use a curling iron). You'll want to use "Setting Lotion" when you curl your hair with sponge curlers or pin curls to get your curls to be uniform (let set until dry, or sleep in your curlers). When you curl your hair, you'll also want to do it in layers as indicated on the website (think rows of where you want to put rolls). You'll want a row of curls (curling the hair back) that follows your face around the top and sides.

When styling your hair, don't get frustrated if it takes a while. You will need a lot of hair spray and bobby pins. Even using this, your hair may not do what you want it to do, because it takes a while to train your hair to style the way you want it to.

You'll probably want some waves or curls on the front top and sides, then put the rest of your hair in a hair net or snood (you'll want to brush it out big after you curle it so that it fills the hair net uniformly).

Practice, practice, practice! As you style your hair like this more often, it becomes easier, and your hair easier to manage. I have a friend who does WWII reinacting and she can put her hair in pin curls while driving to work!

I hope that helps!

Your hair is great. Look up pictures on the Web of 40s and 50s hollywood stars. My Mom had a great roll up hairdo in the 40s (front bangs and sides rolled up from the bottom, back hair in a net)..I think that is so attractive. Or try a 50s beehive do, like Brigitte Bardot or Suzanne Pleshette.. you can find loads of photos on their websites. Sorry I don't have any web addresses to hand but you can Google them.Good luck, I know you'll look beautiful... and different !
