During the 40s, styles became somewhat looser and longer, but were generally still no longer than the shoulder blades. However, it is possible to make your hair styles acceptable for the time. Coming soon - a long hair page, with photos from some of the successful methods for containing all that hair. I took pictures during the last workshop, but they didn't come out. I'm planning an eventual photo shoot with some friends, showing all the steps, but until then you'll have to muddle through with the written instructions.
Finger waves are the most difficult to describe.
It's very much a tactile procedure, and written instructions aren't enough. Even photographs won't properly describe it. Plus Alicia, our hair dresser, has been taking some time off. Eventually we'll have photographs, and probably even video, of finger waves going in.
