Retro Hairstyles with a Modern Twist
Retro hairstyles with a modern twist - from 20s isnpired flapper girl finger waves, to old Hollywood glam and 50s beehive updos.
14 Oct, 2008
This season classic looks are being remixed with a fresh, modern finish. |
Go '20s flapper girl chic with a sleek style that slowly grows into large, S-shaped curves. Blow-out hair until smooth; then wrap one side around an extra-large roller to create the dramatic curve. Guide sleek fringe over the side for contrast. |
Reminiscent of the Hollywood glam looks of the '40s hairstyles are bursting with allure; and are also very IN this season. Add some old-Hollywood bombshell to your style by working curl-enhancing product through damp hair to encourage ringlets before diffuse-drying. Fluff up curls with your finger, or wrap sections of hair around rollers to further define the twist. |
In the '70s and early '80s, the shag was all the rage. Make the look modern with a stronger fringe, razored-in texture and mega movement. For a subtle bi-level feel, shorter layers are positioned in front. |
Update a '60s classic updo with mega height and a fab headband, slipped far back on the crown. To create a beehive updo, slick hair back, working it around a hair rat or padding, until it forms an enormous, glossy chignon. |
'70s inspired long, feathery styles with soft, touchable texture are practically irresistible. First, build volume by working foaming mousse through damp hair. Avoid dry, stiff tresses by diffuse-drying hair around a round brush for big, bouncy curls. |
