HOW DID THEY DO IT? | Creating 1930s Vintage Hairstyles

A waved bob is one of the signature looks of the 1920s and 1930s. And the hairstyle can make or break a vintage look. Before I started to cultivate a vintage style, the hairstyles of the interwar period seemed almost magical -- I couldn't fathom how women and hairdressers did it.
Since then, I've (sort of) developed a system that works for me -- what I'm sharing now. I hope it's useful!
