Does anybody have some examples of any 30s/40s hairstyle I would be able to make with bangs? Thank you very much <3
I don't have pictures, but I have short bangs, and the most 'authentic' 40s look I do is having two victory rolls with a scarf/snood/roll in the back. I know there are pictures a few pages back of someone wearing this style (without bangs though I think). I always roll or pincurl my bangs so that they curl under, too. Doing a roll at the back might be a bit of work with your hair length but you look pretty nifty in your picture! What I like about using a scarf or snood to cover the back is not only is it an easy wayto look period-appropriate, it doesn't matter what state your hair's in underneath, so it's perfect for dealing with greasy hair/a failed set!
Beautiful hat btw!

A frequently seen way to deal with long hair in the 30's is to fingerwave the front, then braid the hair and pin into what I call Heidi braids. I've also seen lots of buns at the nape of the neck, with fingerwaves in front.
My school age hair do's
Cute Critwt I like the top middle its adorable. My mom for some odd reason would chop off all my hair and leave my sisters long so everyone thought I was a boy. My hair was just God awful in elementary school. Funny though how she would get mad when I would shave it off myself in my high school punk phase.

Everybody's hair is always such an inspiration. I just spent the last week reading this ENTIRE thread! Phew.
I thought I'd share my attempt today at victory rolls. So far this is the best job I've done, although I still need to work on placement. I'm getting there! I set my hair with sponge rollers last night using ClaraB's tutorial from waaay back in this thread. The front came out too curly for my taste and brushing didn't seem to help. Otherwise I think I am really loving this set. Everyday I get a little closer to taking the Middy plunge. It's a lot of work brushing curls into waves with my long hair.
I can't wait to see your tutorial for this. Simple yet absolutely beautiful.
