Hair trends may come and go, but the 1920s will always be considered one of the most stylish decades, with lots of glamor and jazz! If you too are inspired by the vintage fashion of this crazy time, we will show you here how you can create a 20s hairstyle for long hair and achieve a stunning retro look effortlessly!
How to make finger waves yourself – the ultimate 20s hairstyle for long hair
Although bob hairstyles were at the top of the trend list in the 1920s, finger waves on long hair (although we have to admit that this look looks good on any length) are no less iconic and stunning. And while you might not believe it, it's not difficult to create this hairstyle at home as long as you know the steps and have the right products.
What you need:
- Shampoo and conditioner
- Styling-Gel
- A fine-toothed comb
- Long hair clips or hair clips
- Hairspray
Wash your hair and coat it with styling gel
Step 1: Wash your hairr. To achieve an authentic finger wave look, you need to apply a decent amount of styling gel to your hair. However, before you do that, you should wash and soften your mane with shampoo and conditioner. Well-moisturized hair is more flexible and elastic.
Step 2: Coat your hair with styling gel. As we mentioned earlier, for a 20's hairstyle for long hair, you'll need a generous amount of hair gel, which you'll distribute after lightly blow-drying your strands. Concentrate most of the product on the top half of your hair and use less on the ends. The hair gel will give your hairstyle structure and hold.
Select the parting of your hair and create finger waves with clips
Step 3: Part your mane. After applying enough product to your strands, create a straight part with a fine-tooth comb. You can part your part in the middle or on both sides, the important thing is that the part forms a straight line.
- Notice: The deep side parting is more reminiscent of the 1920s. So if you are not sure which variant to choose, this is a better choice!
Step 4: Clip a small section of hair at the front. Take your finger and move it parallel to the crown of your head, about two inches to the side. If you have done a side part, you should do it on the side with more hair. Lift your finger and use a long hair clip to hold your hair where your finger was.
Step 5: Create finger waves. It's time to create finger waves! While pressing your finger onto the clip you placed in the previous step, hold your comb in a horizontal position about an inch below the clip. Then push the comb back to create a small, raised wave. Secure the hair underneath this wave with another long clip and continue making finger waves all over the side of your head before moving to the other side.
- Notice: The same steps apply to short, long, or medium length hair when doing finger waves. The only difference is how many waves you need to do to cover all of your hair.
Let the hairstyle dry and fix it with hairspray
Step 6: Allow your hair to air dry. While you let your hair air dry, spray some light hold hairspray onto your head.
- Notice: You can of course also use a hairdryer to speed up the drying process.
Step 7: Remove the bobby pins. Once your hair is completely dry and you've sprayed it with a little more hairspray, it's time to remove the clips and detangle your curls. Finish styling with a shine spray for added effect. Now you can enjoy your new 1920s-inspired wavy hairstyle!
Which are the best products?
The undeniable key to beautiful waves is choosing the right products. One of the tried and tested products that hairdressers recommend is the Marula Rare Oil 3-in-1 Styling Cream.
