Hair and Makeup Trends and Tricks

Vintage Wave~Sassy and Chic

A chin length bob, sassy bangs and an art deco hair clip put a modern spin on vintage style. In the 1920’s “flappers” were the gals with all the style. This is the interpretation of that sassy flapper look and high-spirited attitude.

Pair it with lipstick in a daring shade of red or pink!

Look at Length
A chin length, or longer bob is a great length for this style. My model, Haleigh has longer hair and so I simply pinned the excess hair up underneath to create the illusion of a bob cut.
Art Deco Accessories

After sweeping Haleigh’s bangs to the side I used the Bellezza Crystal Mini Barrette to accessorize. If you have longer bangs or no bangs at all simply sweep your hair over your forehead for the same effect. The delicate Coeur de Crystal Necklace is a nice complement.

Tools of the Wave
I used a special hot iron to create this effect. A wave iron looks like a straightening tool but has ridges that form the waves with heat. If you have curly or wavy hair, you’ll need to blow dry or iron your hair straight before using the wave iron.

Highlights
No matter what your hair color, consider adding some highlights about three weeks before your wedding date. Haleigh has subtle reddish highlights in her brunette hair which add contrast to the style and give an added glow to her skin tone.

This hairstyle is a elegant look for a wedding or black tie event!
