When it comes to 1950's Style, There's only one way to wear it. Glamour Glamour Glamour.
One key part of the Glamorous look is to be somewhat, Casual and effortless. A option often taken by the modern Pin-up ladies, Glamour is portrayed through Immaculate make-up and hair kept just so by the greatest accessory of them all, The Hair Scarves!
From Poodle head curls to a basic Pony Tail with a twist, The Hair Scarf adds an innocent & Sweet edge to a hairstyle and puts a cherry on top of a Simple outfit!
Here's a few of my Favorite styles!
The Pony Tail Bow
An easy and quick style, Simply put your hair into a pony tail at the crown of your head and Tie a hair scarf around the base of the pony, Positioning the bow at the top of your head and the tails by the side.
For a little twist to this style, Roll your fringe at the front with a Suicide Roll or Bumper Bang!
Simple and very 1950's Varsity school girl!
The Bouffant Plait
A little harder to do, scoop the back half of the top of your hair into a Beehive leaving half down to be plaited, using the backcomb and roll technique create the beehive and cover with the front of your hair, sleeking down any flyaways with Hairspray and then brush through the ends of your hair and Plait.
Fold your hair scarf into a long rectangle with pointed ends and tie into a bow around your head, resting the flat side over where the plait begins.
Slightly hard to do, but very sweet!
Oh, Beehive!
A super Glamorous hairstyle,which has taken me a long time to get right is the Beehive! Just like before, Use the backcomb and roll method to get a bouffant and then sleek all of your front parting over the top and hairspray!
With the rest of the hair, either plait or french twist it into a bun at the nape of your neck and pin.
Finish off by tying a big bow!
Girl Next Door
Of course, If you're too lazy to do an extravagant style you could simply have a Half up Half down one like this!
Remember to flick the ends of your hair in with straighteners to give it some shape!
Simply backcomb the back section of your hair and clip it back, then tie yourself a big bow over your hair!
Nylon Scarves can be rare to find,prepare to rummage in many a Vintage boutique and Charity shop to find them!
Rokit nonormally have loads of Nylon hidden in their Scarf Racks! You can also find a selection of colors on the American Pin up Clothing website!
Keep your eyes peeled on Etsy and Ebay as there are often Job lots available & Amazon sell packs of Magician Scarves that are hugely similar to these and are in a selection of colors!
That's all the pearls I have to Impart on you for now!
Happy Scarf-ing
