I decided to take a stab at creating a classic early 1960s hairstyle on my own blunt bob. My hair is stubbornly straight, thick, and generally refuses to cooperate, but I found a way! All I used were good old-fashioned bobby pins and a tiny dab of hair gel for a wet set of pin curls – no fancy rollers or heat tools for this initial foray. Here's how I did it: 1️⃣ The Wet Set Foundation: Starting with damp (not soaking wet) hair, I worked a tiny amount of gel through it. 2️⃣ Pin Curl Placement: I attempted to create rows of pin curls, mostly directed upwards and slightly forward around the crown and sides. 3️⃣ Securing the Look: I used bobby pins, and making sure each curl was flat against my head and securely pinned definitely took some patience. 4️⃣The Waiting: This is the least glamorous part, but crucial: I let my hair dry completely. (you could have sped this up with a diffuser) 5️⃣ The Brush Out: Ideally, a boar bristle brush helps to smooth and blend the curls into that lovely, voluminous shape. I used a regular paddle brush, and you can see in the pictures it's a bit less polished. 6️⃣Gentle Teasing and Shaping: To try and achieve some of that signature height, I gently teased the roots around my crown. Then, using my fingers and a little more patience, I attempted to shape the overall silhouette. And it's definitely not perfect! However, for a first attempt with limited tools and a stubborn hair type, I'm actually quite pleased with the overall shape😉 #Hair #Hairstyles #RetroHair #VintageHair #DIYHair #Beauty #VintageStyle #1960S
