People keeping a keen eye on fashion trends would notice that most of the new hairstyles are inspired from vintage hair styles. Apart from that celebrities also play a major role in influencing current fashionable hairstyles. This isn’t something new but it has been seen right from the 1940’s. In today’s fashion world, women consider it a safe bet to experiment with the vintage look.

Vintage hair dos have always been a real fashion trend for people who admire the stylized times of the 1940’s. If you are one of those and the feminine look of those times is a great inspiration then you may consider a very feminine updo which is custom suited for straight hair. It looks great coupled with bangs. An easy way to recreate the style is given below.

Taking a lock of hair on both sides of the head starting from the temple, roll them towards your head and the back at the same time. Keep on adding more hair until all the hair is added and rolled back. After that the hair should be folded up and secured up with bobby pins at the back of the head. To complete the look, add a couple of jewelled barrettes. Instead of pinning the hair up too firmly, it’s always a better idea to let it hang down gently so that it touches the nape of your neck. And voila, the vintage hairstyle is finished.

Fashion has always been taking a cue from celebrities’ hair cuts right from olden times. In fact during the 2nd world war women were always expected to be homely and feminine. In spite of that, women used to copy the haircuts of their favourite actresses from the big screen. Hollywood has been a source of great inspiration in the vintage hairstyle scene with people perpetually crazing for the 1940’s looks.

The great actress of yesteryear times, Rita Haysworth was responsible for immortalizing the hairstyle fashion of side parted finger waves. Coupled with Veronica Lake’s cascading blonde hair, these hair trends were considered the sexiest of all times. So it really doesn’t come as a surprise when we see celebrities like Gwen Stephanie and Christina Aguilera getting their hair done in the vintage style.

Gwen Stephanie’s platinum locks give a nostalgic reminder into the times sped by. Such hairstyles were worn by the leading ladies of Hollywood in the 1940’s. These hairdos have caught up in a great manner now with the looks worn by Gwen Stephanie and Christina Aguilera creating crazed reactions among women today. Stylists all over the country try to recreate the styles for women who visit their salons.

The use of accessories and wavy hair was a major style statement in the 1940’s. The look always had feminine waves with the front and sides were pinned back to create a rolled effect. Being such a regal style, it doesn’t even matter whether you have long or short hair. So if you are someone who really likes the vintage look of the 1940’s then the nearest salon might be the best place to visit.
