I Want Good ( vintage ) Hair

Debutante Reader, Catherine, asks:

Can you tell me a good resource for photos of and especially instructions on constructing glamorous 50s hairstyles a la Hayworth and Crawford? I'm thinking of those fabulous center parted rolls with the low maiden row in the back. Can't seem to find any good resources on the net but I found your site looking for dresses and I thought you might be able to help. thanks, catherine

Dear Catherine,
if it's damn good hair you seek, you've come to the right place. I've got a few links that will surely put a curl in your bangs.

Got a vintage question? If I don't know the answer, I can point you in the right direction. Ask away!
