Final look

Have fun with your gorgeous new vintage ‘do that’s just as gorgeous in the back as it is in the front.

Ed’s tip: This hairstyle requires some practice to master, and if it isn’t a part of your norm, you’ll probably need a few times before you perfect the look. Another way to have fun with it is to really get into this era by adding a snood or a scarf as an added accessory, which also helps keep this style in place during your downtime!
