Hello Vintage Lovers!!

I created this hair how to for the girl who just loves victory rolls but has a little struggle creating them...or if you are a 'girl on the girl ' this hair style is perfect for you!!!

Perfect Fast 1940's Pinup Look!!!

What you need:

Rat tail Comb

Hair Spray

Curling iron / if you already set your hair

Bobby pins

Flower

Duck bill clip

Lets Get Started!!!

*** If you don't have bangs Skip This section!!!***
If you do have bangs curl them up like so!

Part your hair on the side. Take a medium to small section right behind your ear. Smooth it with your rat tail comb. Hair spray to keep all the fly aways down.

Twist the section towards the part and pin it. Make sure its nice and secure like so.



***Now on the other side of the part leave a little triangle square piece out of the way. ***



While keeping the small section out of the way. Take out a medium to small section right behind the ear. Smooth it out with comb . Hair spray the fly ways. Twist and pin.

Twist and pin like so. ( Don't worry ifs not to perfect on this side that's where the flower is going to be at)

*** Skip Section if you don't have bangs***
If you do brush them back and clip it with a duck bill clip

Take the remaining bang hair and brush them to the side . then Hair spray .

The small section that we left out will be for pin curling.  Create 3 small pincurls in a upside down triangle.

Pin them that way you don't see the bobby pins.

Hair spray your pin curls

Remove Duck Bill Clip.

If you hadn't already so had a set , curl the ends of your hair under with the curling iron.

Back comb just a bit and smooth it,  that way it will be nice and full.

How To Cut Betty Bangs!!

Hello Vintage Lovers!!!

Today I will be showing you how to cut your own Betty Bangs... or if you have a friend you can use this go to at home guide to cut the "Perfect" Betty Bangs!!

Tools you need:

* Styling comb

*Duckbill clips / or Butterfly clips

* Good Shears

*Water Bottle

****************************************

Lets get started!!

1) So first wet your hair in the front. 



2) Determine how thick you want your bangs.( Betty Bangs are fairly thick) Section your "bang hair' in a triangle. 

3) Clip The rest of your hair back

4)  Now take your triangle section and split it in half.



Just realised I cant really show you while I'm actually cutting it @ the same time take a picture of it!!

5) Cut your bangs starting in the middle . Don't cut to short leave *extra length ... it will shrink when it drys. 

6) Now take a little bit of the section you cut and use that as your guide for the sides. Cut the temples a little shorter than the middle of the bang. To have the U effect

7) Sides already cut.

 8) Now take the hair that you split in half down.

10) Now match it up with the hair that has already been cut in the bottom. 

11) Finished Cut Bangs. A Perfect U shape!  





**Now for the finishing touches!! Blow dry your bangs and flat iron it!!***

Lovely your perfect Pinup Betty Bangs!!!



Hope you enjoyed my how to!

Love as always!!
