10 Retro Hairstyles That Are Hot Right NowThe Marilyn Monroe pin curls and Brigitte Bardot blowout are back. See how to give a chic update to these retro hairstyles now |
Rolled-back updo This retro updo is gorgeous with girly clothes like lace dresses, silk blouses, and full skirts, says Philip B. "It has a European look that's a little '40s Hollywood, too. And it's a nice variation on an updo."
Keep it modern: "Keep the part a little haphazard and not so precise," says Philip B. "The highlights here are really bright, which is what keeps the style modern. And the rolls are pinned in place but not in a severe way, so the texture looks touchable and sexy -- a departure from the '40s look."
How to: Lightly spritz on a texturizing spray to give your hair lift and grip. Blow it dry for volume and part your hair in the middle. Twist one side back and pin it in place at the nape of your neck; repeat on the opposite side. Then connect the ends and twist them up in the back into a soft bun. Finish with a light spray of touchable hairspray.

Number 11 isn't a finger wave , it is a pin curl set.
