I just stumbled across this photo of Marilyn Monroe in one of her early films, Love Nest, and I love her hair, especially the s-shaped direction of her long bangs (or would you call them short layers?) in the front. Does anyone know how to create that shape? I know it's common to vintage styles...
I have a Shalimar-scented dusting powder that I use sometimes. I know Estee Lauder and Chanel make nice-looking ones scented with their classic perfumes, too.
Can anyone explain how to replicate this style--Rita Hayworth's famous "Lady from Shanghai" short hairstyle? I assume it was acheived with pin curls or hot rollers, right? About how long would one's hair need to be...

Cheers,
Hope...

you might need a silicone-based product for moldability, like Paul Mitchell Super Skinny serum, to give your hair a softer look. Use a pea-size amoun, blow-dry, then follow with pomade. I love Audrey!
Great website & book for vintage-style eyebrows
Hi, all
I'm new to the site, but I know of two good resources for getting period-style eyebrows. There is a great book with tons of photos of classic actresses by Robyn Cosio, "The Eyebrow" that traces styles in the 20th-century. One caveat is...
