Today it was victory rolls in a lower position, and I am really liking this vintage hairstyle, great if you have curls. You can also roughen it up a little if you don’t want the polished look. I have two sets of hairstyle pictures here. One is with each side pulled to the side in the rolls, these took a while to get the shape I wanted. Then I wanted another version of the look and I twisted a small amount of hair from each side and pinned it.

I won’t lie to you, today took ages! And many tries, pulling out and trying again. But, I am sure this time will reduce, as I have learnt a lot today about shaping victory rolls. It really involves a lot of playing to get nice shapes, and holding your hair tight as you roll it to the scalp. I certainly haven’t perfected it, but I am getting better!
Because I have natural curls and layers, and I wanted to try a bit more of a polished look, I used some hair gel before i started the victory rolls, and I also sprayed with hairspray during the process. and it did help to hold and smooth the look of the victory roll.

Today took a lot of trial and error, and I kind of stumbled across this style with just playing with victory rolls at the front to begin with. I just wasn’t happy with the bottom section, so I starting playing with putting it up at the back. This is where I am thankful that I have curls, because they can really sit beautifully sometimes without very much effort at all : ) Leave me your comments underneath the last photo.

This is a basic hair design that took me a while to get right! (if that makes ANY sense *lol*). It involves lots of teasing the top section and then holding each side back and pinning, but it takes a while to get the right shape so it looks good from the front, side and back.

Hi!
Today I have another up-do, and its great if you know how to braid. I started off spraying my hair with hairspray to give it some hold before I braided. Then the style is just a braid from the top of one side of your hair, then along the bottom and to the other side (it’s takes a few goes to get it right). Then, the ponytail is pulled into a circle bun and clipped with bobby pins. It’s a pretty versatile vintage hairstyle, as it could be great for a summer day, or for going out. Once you have then braided, hairspray again all over, let it dry, then mess your hair up a little to soften it. I really like this one.

Howdy!
This hair design is more time but worth it for a special occasion, or just when you are looking for a nice up-do. I did twisting and rolling for my fringe sections (it really is a trial and error to get a nice shape). I started with victory rolls but I just wasn’t happy with the result on myself, do I combed and twisted the hair, then rolled and fiddled until I was happy. Then it involves lots of bobby pins and hairspray! The back (and bottom section) is the nicest part I think, and it is sooo simple! All you are doing is rolling the back section up to the nape of your neck, and tucking it under, then it is a lot of pinning and spraying as before! I strated off with it quite tight, but prefered the look of it looser on myself. You really have to try things on yourself to see what suits you with these hairstyles. Hope you like this 1940’s/1950’s style vintage look.

Hi!
I wasn’t really sure what hairstyle to do today, but thought I would start doing some victory rolls. I didn’t have a lot of time and my rolls weren’t as good as I would’ve liked, but when I unrolled them, out came a lovely smooth curl on one side of my face. I didn’t want to waste the nice curl, so I worked with it and sprayed it with hairspray to keep the nice shape, and played with the shape a little to get it smoother. You can see in the pics where the curl has changed a little. I then decided that I could use my gorgeous “My Little Rockabilly” hair comb on the other side of my hair, and I could be on my way! So, in the end it looks like a pretty simple hairstyle, but there a bit of combing, hair twirling, and hairspraying for me to get the smoother looking curls (you could achieve this with a curling wand). I have a great idea for tomorrow, so don’t forget to check it out : )

this is the pin-curl/victory roll I did at the front to achieve that lovely curl in the finished result...
