How to Do 50s Pinup Hair
Pinups in the 1950s were actresses and models featured in provocative poses. Fashion for pinup modeling was excessive and over the top, but the hair was glamorous and structured, rolled in curls and never worn straight. Creating '50s pinup hair today requires the right tools and products, but is overall an easy style to achieve. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Create a deep side part. Brush your hair so that it's tangle-free.
-
2
Rub a palmful of mousse evenly throughout your hair.

Divide your hair into 2-inch sections. Sections of this size will create softer curls instead of tight curls. Secure each section with a clip.

Start with a section of hair at your hairline right above your forehead. Roll it around a large hot roller and roll it away from your face, not toward it. Secure with a roller pin.

Continue this process. Move to the sections along your hairline in the front and move toward the back.

Allow the rollers to cool for at least 15 to 20 minutes.

Unwind each roller slowly.
