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.

What Was Good About 1950's Cars?

I have to say that 1950’s cars look like they are from a whole different universe. What I love about these cars are the white streak around the front of each of the tires. You have many car brands such as the Packard, Mercury, Chevrolet Corvette, Hudson, Ford Thunderbird, Chevrolet Bel Air, Chrysler Imperial, Chrysler New Yorker, Buick Skylar, and more! I personally have to say the Chevrolet Bel Air is my favorite looks wise. Many people who had cars in this era were more towards those with some wealth. I noticed that a lot of the percentage of people walked, biked, or took the bus to wherever they were going. Not everyone in the 1950’s had a car but those who did had some money. Lots of these cars were geared towards couples who had children as well. The cars back in this time period came in many colors, which I love! Today many people have bland colors on their cars. Which are their preference but cars with unique or cool colors really stand out. When looking through pictures of...

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...

1950s Hairstyles That Were Popular and Easy

Thoughts on 50's Hairstyles Hairstyles back in this era were mostly shown of women with short curly hair. They had big curls that made the volume in their hair rise and looked so shiny as well. The women put curlers in their hair the night before while it was wet so once they took them out they would have lushish waves on the top of their heads. What is not talked about is that they did have long hair in this era. Those who did produced the commercials and photoshoots just did not include these types of women/hairstyles as much. All of these women had lots of volume and head full of hair as well, I am quite jealous. Those who had longer hair in the 1950's styled their hair with bigger curlers the night before as well. I would have to say I love the look of both hairstyles and I found them so intriguing! Women's Hairstyles in the 1950s Many of the women in this time period went for the short hair with curls as a way to look fancy and presentable....
