Women's hairstyles 40s

History shows that at any time, even in difficult wartime, every woman dreamed of looking perfect and attractive. Women in the USSR were no exception. Dresses and costumes were very expensive, but a romantic image could be created with the help of a hairstyle.

The great popularity of that time was the style of the femme fatale. This image was considered perfection and was inherent in all Hollywood stars of the 40s and 50s. Stylized effect created by neatly twisted strands from the middle of the curls to their tips. In fashion was at that time classic bundle. Quite often, girls created hair caret, realizing the need for daily hair styling curls. At the same time there was no need to dye hair in bright shades: the natural color of hair was fashionable.

Looked pretty pretty twisted curls in the form of a roller and located in the frontal part of the head. Such hairstyles open the face, emphasize all its advantages, and a small make-up hides the flaws. That is why this kind of styling was used by fashion models during a fashion show. At that time, it took a lot of effort to create a fashionable hairstyle. Today, the creation of retrostil takes about half an hour or an hour, as each woman has in her arsenal a lot of modern tools for styling and twisting curls.

In the 40s at the peak of popularity was double roller on medium hair length. The main characteristic of the hairstyle is symmetrical styling. The hair was previously divided into two halves with a clear parting. The upper strands on both sides were rolled with a roller and fixed with studs. From the back of the head curls can also be collected, but most often they were left free hanging.

In the 40s of the last century, short hair was considered a popular trend of fashion trends. They created on them soft curls, twisted into small curlers. The curlers were removed, and the hair was gently brushed without breaking the curls. It is worth noting that the maximum diameter of the curl should not exceed 2 cm. Otherwise, the styling was not kept, and the hair fell off. Small curls were created exclusively on short hair length.

The middle strands were not able to keep the shape of small curlicues due to the mass of hair and simply straightened out. It was possible to make an additional upgrade to the created hairstyle by changing the diameter of the curls and the direction of the twisted curls. Women spent quite a lot of time creating hair styling. That is why hairstyles began to create in the evening: curl curls on curlers and removed them only in the morning.

Owners of medium hair could create slightly different hairstyles. For example, do large curls with a preliminary pile. The parting was either in the middle or on the side, depending on the individuality of the image. A pile of strands was required to create the maximum amount of hair. At the request of fashion trends, the forehead should remain open, since the bangs at that time did not have a positive assessment of stylists.The front strands were combed up or stacked in the form of peculiar waves, smoothly turning into the main curls of the occipital part.

The most popular hair accessory of the time was reticulum. It was not necessary to acquire it, it was possible to tie it with the hands on the needles or crochet. In addition, it was possible to decorate the bag with beads or not to make any additional elements. The mesh was designed to support the total weight of the hair and was fixed only on the top of the head. And the locking element was closed with a traditional roller.

Owners of long hair tried not to hide their luxurious curls. But still, without fail, they created hairstyles with curls or rollers. The hair must be parted in the middle. It could be both in the center of the head and from the side. Accordingly, the fringe should not stand out against the general background. She either hid under the front roller, or flowed into curls in the total length of her hair. Quite often, the owner of long hair used curlers and curled curls from the middle to the tips. At the same time curls looked in the inner side.

Everyone knows that fashion trends from the past gradually come into modern life. Any extravagant lady will want to embody the image of the fatal beauty of the last century. But the use of vintage style requires mandatory adherence to the accuracy of all parts of the image: it is not enough to simply perform the hairstyle of the 40s, you need to choose the appropriate makeup and costume.

The main style of the 40s was considered retro and pin-up. This image is ideal for women who love to shine and attract to their person rapturous views of others. The main feature of these styles is the presence in the hair roller, beams or smooth strands. Everything must be laid neatly and clearly, in any case no irregularities are allowed. Retro and pin-up emphasize the elegance and sexuality of the female image.

Everyone knows that the best new is the long forgotten old. After all, in fact, the fashion trends of the last century are back in our days. Now, to go to a cool party or to meet graduates, women are trying to transform in a retro style. It is quite easy to pick up clothes, make-up, manicure, but creating a hairstyle with rollers with your own hands is quite difficult. To avoid mistakes and get neat styling, you must follow certain instructions.

• The basis of any hairstyle of the 40s lies in a careful parting: it must be smooth. The front strands are fixed along with the bangs, rise and slightly comb. Then twist starting from the tip and ending with the roots in the form of a roller. The resulting curl is required to fix. It is important to note that the hairpins should not be visible, and the rollers should slightly sway and not be very dense. Thus, it turns out two separate curls with a lumen inside. They fit symmetrically and should be a reflection of each other.
• When creating these rollers, you must use only the upper curls. The remaining hair is collected in the tail with a rubber band and fixed invisible to hide the main mount. The back strands are also twisted in the form of a roller and rise to the back of the head. The resulting structure must be secured with studs.
• To keep the hairstyle for a long time, it is necessary to use additional cosmetic products of a sparing option, for example, varnish.

Despite the serious demands of the last century, modern fashion trends make it possible to slightly change the retro image being created with the help of a small asymmetry. The main parting can be done from the side, and where there is more hair, curl the wide rollers. The main thing - do not forget about the pre-pile. When creating a classic retro hairstyle in our time, it takes much less time, but there are such variations of styling that require more than one hour to be spent. Therefore, before you go to any event, preparation should begin in advance.
