1920'S HAIR STYLES

The Marcel wave is the iconic 20's hairstyle. Here are some styles from the 20's.

 
 

I have found some more modern interpretations of the marcel wave or 'finger wave'.
This is a look from the SS 2011 PRADA collection.

Here is my first attempt at creating the marcel wave in our technical sessions.

 

This look was created by getting the front of the hair wet, and combing it back. Then, whilst pressing down hard on the damp hair, comb the hair the opposite way. A grip is then placed in the curve. This continues for the rest of the hair. Once you have reached the end, pin curl the hair up.
