Victory rolls are a vintage women’s hairstyle that was originally popular in the 1940s and 1950s. This look features voluminous pinned ‘rolls’ that frame the face, and it was aptly named after the aerobatic victory manoeuvre of fighter planes doing loop-the-loops during this timeframe. Nowadays, the look is popular with lovers of all things vintage and fancy dress fans alike.

Do you love the look, or would like to learn how to style your own victory rolls? You can follow our step-by-step guide below and claim victory (sorry, we had to) over this quirky hairstyle.

Prep And Curl

Spritz your entire head with a heat protectant (like the TRESemmé Heat Defence Spray) and then use a curling wand or tong to loosely wave the hair.

The waves will give the hair more “bend” and help with creating your victory rolls.

Create A Side Parting

Taking the top section, create a side parting so that you have more hair on one side than the other.

Hair hack: Take the bigger section and pin the hair approximately one inch parallel to the parting. This will help secure the hair and make it easier for you to create your victory rolls.

Build Volume

If you have naturally fine or flat hair, try backcombing your hair that will eventually form the roll, before lightly smoothing with a brush. This will give volume to the victory roll later on!
