I am a senior in high school and am really wanting a cool prom, since this is my last. I have a black dress, my date has a zoot suit (cain, hat , and shoes too.) But I feel that I need the hair. I cannot find a site that has any of the elegant 1940's hairstyles. Please help.
Here is a book you can purchase on Amazon, most of the swing dancers have bought this book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1930064012/103-6789079-2148661?v=glance&n=283155
I just wanted to thank Erika for listing websites. My daughter is going to junior prom this year and she and her date are going 40's style and I had no idea what to do (way, way before my time - like 30 + years!!). Thank you so much, these sites are so helpful. As to Mary, Butt (how appropriate) and any other rude people, what are you even doing on a message board like this. The last poster was right, Mary's probably divorced by now cause an evil witch like that couldn't possibly stay married (and if she is still married I pity her husband!).
Well about the 40's look it all depends on what you want!!!and up to or down...also how long ur hair is. The 40's look has a lot to do with swirls here and there they also have a bigger selection on up do's. If you want go to google.com and then use the image part and type in 1940's hairstyles. They give dont give u a big selection but you can kind of get an idea and what you want. If you have any questions feel free to email me and I can also give you more ideas.
P.S
Barnes and Noble also has a lot of books right now on the old school look.A lot of pin-up girl books too.
For anyone who needs a good 1940s hairstyle I highly recommend a book titled "1940s Hairstyles". It's by Daniela Turudich. I have this book and it gives several different styles and how to do most of them as well as simple tips and tricks. I bought it at Barnes and Noble and it only cost me about $15, so it won't break the bank. Hope this helps!!
Colleen,
You said that you bought the "1940s Hairstyles" book for only $15, how long ago was that? I have looked on ebay and amazon and it is between $200-300 dollars! I don't get it. Any suggestions?
Try any 1940's re enactment sites ,just literally type those words in ,failing that , world war two reenactment sites they all have links to how to create a look of that era ,

I find it quite amusing that this messege board has lived for 2 years, lol. I basically know how to make a pompodour, but not a very good one, so I was trying to find a website that showed and I came across this messege board. Anyways, if anyone else comes on here and is continuously reading down all the posts waiting paitently for someone to put a decent web page on to look at...here it is.
I have looked at the many websites there are (thanks by the way) on 1940s hairstyles, and I have difficulty understanding how the hair rolls are supposed to be done. Where do they go? What is a rectangular part? I just can't seem to figure this part of the hairstyle out. I've looked at pictures and tried to determine this, too, but so far I've found nothing. Anyone know anything that can help?
Hi,
I would like to say thank you to Erika for taking time out to find numerous sites for us to look at and i would also like to thank Sarah for her indepth instructions. Thanks, you have made my search a million times easier! i am holding a three day charity event for the royal british legion's poppy appeal for veterans of ww1 and ww2. We are going to be dressing up in clothes from that period and i need my hair to look the part as well. This is obviously a much better cause than Marys wedding! i seriously hope the groom came to his senses and left you standing at the alter! i can't call you ignorant because ignorance is bliss, you Mary are just down right f***ing rude!!!!!!!! glad all went well for Kitty. Thanks again. Bye, Emma xxx
