Retro curls and waves



Lately, I have been fascinated by the savoir-faire of retro hairstyles. Just like the ever increasing interest in traditional hand-crafts such as knitting, embroidery and pottery, beauty is following closely with looks reminiscent of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s.

It is all about perfecting a certain time-specific look. Vintage how-to manuals and grand mother’s rollers are now lying around the bathrooms of youngsters who not so long ago were all about the roll-out-of-bed looks and the DIY undercuts; grunk style. I am pleased to see these softer, very feminine looks appear more frequently and I am looking forward to fall to see if hats will be the finishing touch for these young ladies.

  1. There are two more things that I've notice too, apart from this trend: the Lolita's hairdo, with two braids around the head, and the flower crowns... if you walk around some blogs you can see these hairstyles too :)
