How To Spring Hair Trends- Retro glam
Christian Dior started this 1940s Hairstyle Revival, and I love every retro inch of it. They key to this look is starting with soft smooth hair as your base- the rest is a cinch.
Do:
1. Freshly wash hair and blow dry. If you have wild hair, like mine, apply smoothing cream before blow dry.
2. Part your hair on the far left or right (whichever you prefer) This hairstyle is meant to have a severe side part like, plus side parts make the nose look more delicate.
3. Begin by heating your curling iron and creating barrel sized curls that roll sideways on the head. Clip each roll with a duck bill clip or bobby pins. (Like giant hotdogs with the ends facing the mirror in front of you. )
4. Spray with hairspray and let set for about ten minutes.
5. Remove clips or bobby pins and brush out curls gently.
6. Apply a bit of shine creme to your hair with your fingertips.
Note: the Trick to that glam side swept wave at the top of the forehead, is to really get a solid curl pinned up. When it relaxes it creates that rich roll.

Ooooh…I love this look! It’s so glam! I can’t wait to try!
I love that hairstyle. =] I like the blond hairdo on the left and the brown hairdo on the right the best, although I like the makeup on the ladies on the left much better, as it’s less extreme.
I love this! I’ve always had a soft spot for severe side parts; they’re so easy and glamorous.
Love it, but curls unfortunately never stay like that on me, even with expensive mousse. I saw the look of the day you put up a few days ago, and think I realized why I like the menswear-boyfriend trend. When a man sees that his date (fiancee/wife) is cold and lets her wear his jacket, somehow it always makes her look more attractive, to me. Maybe it’s just because I like seeing a gentleman, but I think the striking contrast of menswear on a woman’s delicate frame accentuates her femininity, when it’s done with the right attitude.
I’ve noticed that this hair style works best on shoulder length hair, or slightly longer.
just found your blog and i love you.
happy day.
