When the heat of summer makes long hair uncomfortable, consider 1940 hairstyles such as updo hairstyles. These glamorous hairstyles get the hair up and off the neck in a more attractive way than a plain ponytail can. With how-to books and online tutorials to use as a guide, these styles are not hard to accomplish and are well worth the effort. The popular updo hairstyles can be altered to become the wearer's own style. And guess what? Many of these summer updo hairstyles start with a ponytail.

Creating An Updo Hairstyle

Gather the needed tools including a brush, a comb, bobby pins, hair elastics, and hair spray. Wash the hair and dry it. Then, brush the hair smooth and into a low ponytail. Secure the ponytail with an elastic band and divide the hair into two or more sections. Tease each section and then smooth it upward into a roll that is secured with bobby pins. An updo can consist of two twisted sections on top of the head or multiple rolls. A section can be left loose at the front of the head and combed back over the base of the updo and secured with more bobby pins. Bangs can be blended with this style.

Other Summer Updo Hair Styles

Other summer updo hair styles can include the reverse roll, the pompadour, and side rolls. These styles work best with shoulder length or longer hair. There are finger waves and soft curl styles that work with shorter hair. Even the peek-a-boo wavy style that Veronica Lake made famous can be altered to create an attractive shorter style. Having a picture of the hairstyle one is trying to create is very helpful. There are books dedicated to creating 1940s hairstyles including updos and there are online sites that can be helpful. Once a person masters the techniques for each hairstyle, they can alter it to be exactly the look they want. When the tools are in place and the hair is prepared, the sky is the limit. Styles from the 40s often involve backcombing the hair for lift and volume.

Though these styles are very doable at home, some women may not want to take the time themselves. It will not be difficult to find a hairdresser who is familiar with these popular 1940s updos. Take a picture of the style that is wanted and let a professional do the work, then enjoy the look. Special occasions are one time to seek a professional hairdresser to get that perfect glamorous look. For more information, go to the website.
