Create a 1940s Vintage Updo for Short Hair
Template:Stub
A concern of many women with short hair is how to dress their short hairstyle for special or formal occasions. Hair that is just two to three inches is not usually the ideal length for an updo.
Steps
- Make a circular part from hairline around crown to separate top section. This hair is pinned up, out of the way, and pinned last. Do this before beginning the setting.
- Set your hair. Begin on right side.
- Make a deep finger wave at hairline and follow with one row of pin curls around clockwise.
- Make another deep finger wave behind first row of curls, and follow with a row of pin curls wound counterclockwise. Short hair at bottom of wave, behind ear, is set in clockwise pin curl.
- Make another full finger wave in back of second row of pin curls and fill in the rest of the back area, to left ear, with pin curls. First row, in back of wave, is wound counterclockwise, all other curls are wound clockwise, and are placed in diagonal rows exceeding from nape to crown.
- Make a half wave at hairline on the left side and follow with three rows of pin curls. First row is wound clockwise, second and third rows counterclockwise.
- Unpin top hair and set it in solid pin curls. All curls here are clockwise, except for counterclockwise curl at hairline.
