Pin up Girl Hairstyles for Long hair 2013

It might be said the golden age of pinup girls was also the golden age of hairstyles. The pinup girls of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s were every man's fantasy and every school girl's aspiration. And their hair was all about the curl. With setting lotions, curlers and pins, they created hair that was glamorous and feminine. In doing so, they set trends that never truly go out of style. Does this Spark an idea?

Finger Waves

Pin up Girl Hairstyles for Long hair 2013: The hairstyles of the 1930s had to meet the following criteria: soften the blunt cut of the bob and fit nicely beneath the most fashionable hat of the day. They accomplished these goals with finger waves. Shorter cuts do better with this style, but it takes considerable practice. Part damp hair on the side or in the center and apply a waving or setting lotion, combing through for an even application. Basically, section your hair--from the top down--and use your comb and fingers to shape your hair into a wave. You need to hold each section for a few seconds for it to set. When mastered, the result will be beautiful, deep waves.

Peek-a-Boo Bang

Film actress Veronica Lake started the craze known as the Peek-a-Boo Bang. To attain the look, you must first have long, smooth locks, preferably with gentle waves. Part your hair on the left side, softly curl the ends and let the right side hang over your right eye. This style is, of course, all about the glamour and nothing at all about practicality.

Victory Rolls

With World War II in full swing, women did not have the means to attain the latest clothing fashions. Therefore hair became their statement of style. Victory rolls are the most prominent example. This hairstyle was named after a plane maneuver; when styled without bangs, it also resembles a V-shape. For this style, part your hair in the center, asymmetrically, or with an extreme side part for dramatic effect. You want your hair to have a bit of bounce, so add some body with curls. Then section off the sides of your hair, brush it out, roll it up and in to create rolls atop your head, and pin.

Bettie Page

Pinup icon Bettie Page was known for her curves--and her long, black hair with thick bangs cut straight across. To copy her hairstyle, that's basically all you need. You can wear your hair down, with soft waves, with Victory Rolls or pinned up on one side with a hair accessory.

Rockabilly

Pin up Girl Hairstyles for Long hair 2013: Today, Rockabilly refers to a subculture, people bound by their love of retro fashions. The term was originally derived from early rock and roll music of the 1940s and 1950s. In regard to hairstyles, it's all about making a statement. The key is volume and height on top, with sides close to the head (think pompadour). From there, you can pull your hair back into a ponytail, curl and pin it up, or add hair accessories.
