Vintage Pin Up Hairstyles - Welcome Back Sexy!

Looking back through history, It's hard to ignore the "pin-up era" of Bettie Paige, Marilyn Monroe, and who could ever forget Alberto Vargas and his Vargas Girls.

Pick an adjective; classy, cute, flirty, sexy, graceful, bombshell, siren, vixen....they would all fit and do so without the stripped down, sex sells, in-your-face blatancy that we see far to much of in our daily lives.

The hair: perfectly set, the clothing: flirty and cute, the effort: not as bad as you think (trust me on this one ladies, its well worth a try), and if you have hips, thighs, and curves you're already ahead of the game. Size zero's need not apply for this fashion trend. (Don't you love hearing that for a change?)

Pin Up Tips for the Beginner:

1. Relax, don't go overboard, just breathe, DO NOT attempt this one hour before going out for the evening as your first trial. While the techniques can be simple, you need to practice a few times before you're ready for your debut.
2. Start with your hair, after all, this is the crown jewel of the entire look, and can even be worn with your regular clothing. You'll need a few supplies, but they wont cost you much and you can pick up accessories as you go.
3. Keep your hair healthy! regular haircuts can go a long way to keeping your hairstyle looking sleek and polished as opposed to the "finger in a light socket" look.

Now about those supplies: bobby pins, bobby pins, hairspray, curlers or a curling iron (curlers are better), and did I forget to mention bobby pins? Got your supplies handy? Good! Get comfy and check out this Hairstyle Video. It's a wonderful starter style video (no curlers required) and was recently uploaded in its current format.
After you get comfy with your new technique, send me a picture and tell me about your experience! (I've got mine down to about 3 minutes start to finish now.)

Happy Hairstyling!
