 I've been trying to make myself up like a 20s Flapper lately. I have the clothes and makeup down, but I can't seem to get my hair to look right! It's the right length, but looking through pictures they did other things to their hair besides just cutting it--a popular look seems to have been straight hair worn close to the head at the top but curled around the ears and neck. I can not figure out how anybody managed to do these styles!!
Janet:
Popular hairdo's of the 1920s started the decade as short, simple bobs and turned, by 1923, into an undulated version called the "shingle". The flappers of the mid-late 1920s wore their hair short and straight with spit curls framing the face. You can use saliva (or a modern-day setting lotion) to bind your hair and twirl a small section of hair around your finger to create the curls. In the nostalgic era of the 1960s, I used a combination of beer and spit to set my curls!
