Retro Hairstyles - Instructions - Pin Curl sets and Updos

[Moopeh]

I had to share this site! I was watching mad men (the clothes and hair!) and I was surfing about the characters and came across this site. So many beautiful hairstyles! Such great updos! I'd be so fun to see how they could be adapted for more natural textures. Our hair holds a set and curl really well, so these styles should be a blast! (I will never EVER backbrush like they tell us too. Ugh horrible. There are other ways to get fullness.)

Beauty is a thing of the past

The pics were too big to post. Just wanted to share!

Thanks for sharing! Mad men is one of my fave shows. I was actually looking into 40s-50s era pinup styles a few weeks ago for an event. It occurred me that the styles would look really cool on natural hair!

I think Kranbery mentioned in another thread that the whole retro thing was up her alley. Maybe she'd like to check this site.

some of those are so elaborate and classy. I hope some members on here try em out for us to see modern renditions
