Thank goodness for Fleur! She has a fabulous website where she shares her vintage knowledge and provides copious amounts of authentic vintage & retro fashion inspiration, plus styling tips, recipes, events, and other fab tidbits.
I love that she calls bobby pins “curvy grips.” Oh those English, they are so charming! Here’s a favorite video of hers that I have found to be very useful:
“My second ever vintage hair tutorial, this time it’s 40s style faux / bumper bangs! Not quite as big as Dita von Teese’s (or her icon Carmen Miranda) but better for those not quite as brave! It could also work for a 50s, Bettie Page style look and it’s a perfect pinup girl style. Look out for the comedy fumble at the beginning!”
I think I’ll be spending some time on this one. I’d really like to be a master of the rattail. I dig the look!
So what do you think? Would you wear this? Do you have a preferred method?
It’s “kirby grips”! 🙂
Hahah, thanks!
Thanks. Great tutorial. Really helpful.
