Retro Hair styles...any how to's?

[The Girl]

I thought about this after I saw the Christina Auguilera post in Off-Topic. I know that a lot of our moms wore some very glamorous and "divafied hairdo". I was thinking they may not have had all the comforts of flat irons and blowdryers so recreating some of those looks could possibly be good for protective styles...what do you guys think and/or do you know of any online tutorials for these styles?

Oooh, what a wonderful idea!! Have you tried googling 'retro black hair' or something along those lines?

 

[The Girl]

Ok this is why I hate google...j/k I searched and got a lot of magazine covers and then celebrity (white) shots..none of which looks retro...I will keep looking

Here's a site I came across when I wanted to learn how to do pincurls. I think they have other styles too.

I am so glad that you suggested this site but I am having problems viewing the pics. Anyone else having these problesm??

 

[Soul♥Flower]

yes I am too now. I think it maybe the site. While the pictures were helpful, I still find the instructions very useful.

Looks like there's some good stuff here: http://www.revampvintage.com/index1.html
Scroll down in the frame on the left until you get to Chapter VI.
If any of you are in LA, they actually have vintage hair and makeup workshops you can attend! Costs $50 though

This is so fascinating!!!

I love that one, minus the white bow in the back. I would keep the front and would gather my hair in a low ponytail in the back . http://www.hairarchives.com/private/archive2/60s/retro60s.htm:
