Vintage hairstyle secrets: the fingerwave!

[dancesofvice]

Back in the day, a lady could get her hair fingerwaved in any respectable salon. Today, that's certainly not the case- and for all you modern flappers who wish to save long hours setting your hair yourself, here's what you can do!

Lacey's wigs are by far the best I've come across on the market, both in quality and style, and these two are my absolute favorites:

1930s Fingerwave fluff

And the short fingerwave:

Here are some pictures (both candid and studio) of me wearing the first style:

And the second style (again in black):

They have an assortment of other great vintage styled wigs (in varying lengths, and colors of course). I have 4 different Lacey wigs, and they all look fantastic and keep very well. I must admit, there's something special in spending hours in curling and waving, but sometimes you just want your hair perfect in less than a minute

I LOVE the shape of that first one! I want my hair to look like that. I can get the back to look like ringlets by just rolling it vertically, but my front never looks right. [huh]

Here's a link to doing your own finger-wave:

Very cute! You look great in both of them I wonder if brown would look all right on me. Have you seen any in colors other than black?
