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!

Hi there!
I saw your post about vintage hairstyles, which I'm trying to research, too. I saw a book on one of the vintage clothing websites recently - a new publication on how to do vintage hairstyles. The problem is, I forget which website! Have you heard of anyone publishing a new book on vintage hairstyling? Thanks a bunch!

Hi Natalie.
I don't know which site you are referring to but I think I know which book you are looking for. It's a self published book titled "Vintage Hairstyling: Retro Styles with Modern Techniques" by Lauren Rennells. She was selling copies of her book at the Santa Monica Vintage Fashion Expo.
You can pick up a copy at her site www.vintagehairstyling.com for $29.95
