Hairstyles from the 1940s include up do and peek-a-boo bangs. Women everywhere have their own versions of the up do, another great style in 1940s hair. If your hair is shoulder length or longer, the updo is easy. It’s a great option for bad hair days, and all it requires is a paddle brush, a comb, a hair elastic, and bobby pins.
Here's how to create a 1940s up do for yourself. Brush your hair back and gather it into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Secure it with the hair elastic. Split the ponytail in two. Using a comb, tease each half. To do this, place the comb in the section of hair, about halfway down the length of the section, and then comb it back towards the elastic. Take one section, twist it under, and secure with bobby pins. Do the same with the other side. If you want the sleek look of 1940s hair, smooth out stray hairs and spray in place.
1940s Hair: The Peek-a-Boo Bang
The style made famous by 1940s starlet Veronica Lake is the kind of 1940s hair that never goes out of fashion, and it’s super-stylish. Wash hair and dry until it is barely damp. Part your hair deep on one side. This is important to get the peek-a-boo effect over one eye.
Using a 1-inch diameter curling iron, curl small
sections of hair, beginning at the top. Each time, do not unwind the
curling iron, but open it up slightly and slide the curl off the barrel.
Then pin the curl in place with a bobby pin. After you’ve done all the
curls and have them pinned in place, wait a few minutes for your hair to
cool. When your hair is cool, remove the bobby pins. Use your
fingertips to loosen the curls into waves. Because one side is parted so
deeply, the other side will have hair that partly covers one eye. You
can put a bobby pin in the wave over the eye so that you can see.
Otherwise, glance seductively out from your peek-a-boo bangs and charm
everyone.
The 1940s may have been 60 years ago—but 1940s hair is timeless and ultra glamorous!
1940's Hairstyle — Top Reverse Roll
The top reverse roll was a popular style for 1940s hair. It is similar to a 1940s pompadour hairstyle, but easier to create.
Here's how to recreate the top reverse roll. Set
hair in rollers with all rolls going away from the face. Take rollers
out, and make a part on each side of the head from front to back, and a
third part across the back. This will give you a rectangular patch of
hair that you can hold straight up off the top of your head. Brush this
section forward and put pins on both sides of the section. Roll
loosely toward the back with the ends remaining inside the roll. Pin
roll in place crosswise with bobby pins. Depending on your face shape,
you may need to make the section of hair in the roll smaller or larger.

cone of a plane), and more recently on British singer Amy Winehouse.
