Classic 1940s updo for the holidays

http://www.hair-styles-cuts-and-dos.com/
This holiday hairstyle is terribly classy, just like the '40s. The style works best on naturally wavy hair but you can get these waves yourself. You'll need gel, hairpins & curlers. Once hair is curled under, you'll want to pin the curls in place at the nape of the neck. Long straight pins are the secret to holding this updo in place. "I use at least three to four, hiding them in the hair," says celebrity stylist Serge Normant. Make sure you insert pins in opposite directions.
