How To Pin Curl Your Hair Like in the 1950s

 In this video, this woman starts explaining firm rollers are more for if you want lots of waves and the curls are tight. 

The pin curls are more for those who want lose curls and smoother on top and lots of rolls at the bottom.

To have the hairstyles just like women in the 50's, you will need lots of bobby pins or a pin curling hair clip and the more you have of these the better. 

You will also need a comb, a spray bottle of water, and a hairbrush. 

It is recommended you wash your hair and let it dry somewhat so it will hold longer in your hair until the next time you choose to wash it. 

Next, you take a small strand of hair and you turn it inwards so it makes a circle. You continue this until the circle bunch of hair is to your scalp and pin it in this position. 

Once you are doing the curls throughout your head make sure the curls are facing the front, which is towards your head and not away from your head. 

One thing that is crucial is that you do not do this hairstyle before going to sleep as this will mess up the ideal hairstyle you want that resembles those in the 1950's. 

If your hair will not cooperate with going into this circle then you need to wet the strand you are working on more. 

Do not wet your whole head because when you come around to those strands then it is already dry and it will be more of a hassle to rewet it. 

If you'd love to know more about the 50's hairstyles and need a visual demonstration here is the video that inspired me to make this blog post.

Women were Disowned for Having Children Out of Wedlock

  Many women during the 1950’s gave up their children for adoption and it was mostly because of babies being born out of wedlock. Within this time ladies who got pregnant out of wedlock were shamed and disowned by their friends and families. They were considered a disgrace to the family to have a child before marriage. During this era, it was widely judged. Which I can understand why they would be disowned because they could not wait until marriage but on the other hand it happens sometimes. Many women gave up their babies up for adoption had the right to refuse to disclose the identity of the father. Lots of the ladies did choose to tell people who the father was but it was more common that the women refused to tell. Social workers at the time respected these women’s decisions about this situation. I personally have mixed emotions about this topic. I do not think that people should be ashamed for having children out of wedlock but still should be widely influenced to hav

4 Scandalous Outfits in The 50’s!

This TikTok video shows four scandalous outfit styles women wore in during the 1950’s era. Jasmine Chiswell has put together great examples. It is interesting to know that during this time period women wearing tight short shorts was considered clothing that made people talk bad about. How it brought a bad reputation to some by just wearing these shorts. Today many people wear skintight shorts but that is the norm in society. During the 50’s women were to wear modest clothing and look like a presentable housewife. You were not to wear anything that counteracted this image. This representation could be good for some but bad for others if they did not wish to follow this norm. Coned shaped bras are quite strange I have to admit. They are pointy and do accentuate a women’s chest. I can understand where people were coming from when coned bras were labeled as a scandalous piece of clothing. They bring lots of amount of attention to a women’s chest area and could make some feel unco
