1930s women's hairstyles?

We're going to have 'authentic 1930s hairstyles' for our spring musical (Anything Goes) at school. I have mediumish long (shoulder-length) very curly (ringletty, pretty much) hair, just wondering what they'll do with it. =D

Lucky for you curls were all the rage of the 30's and 40's, however, you will still need to use curlers to get ';uniform'; curls with your hair.





Check out this website for how to do your hair:

They have step by step instructions and photos on how to style your hair.





The first thing you have to do is determine if you can do the style that you want . Hair was cut to the same length everywhere on the head (so if you ahve bangs, you'll have trouble doing these hair styles). Long hair is ok, and actually a good thing because it let's you do more with your hair.





To prep your hair, you'll need to curl it (don't use a curling iron). You'll want to use ';Setting Lotion'; when you curl your hair with sponge curlers or pin curls to get your curls to be uniform (let set until dry, or sleep in your curlers). When you curl your hair, you'll also want to do it in layers as indicated on the website (think rows of where you want to put rolls). You'll want a row of curls (curling the hair back) that follows your face around the top and sides.





When styling your hair, don't get frustrated if it takes a while. You will need a lot of hair spray and bobby pins. Even using this, your hair may not do what you want it to do, because it takes a while to train your hair to style the way you want it to.





You'll probably want some waves or curls on the front top and sides, then put the rest of your hair in a hair net or snood (you'll want to brush it out big after you curle it so that it fills the hair net uniformly), or let your curls hang for a ';Shirly Temple'; type look.





Practice, practice, practice! As you style your hair like this more often, it becomes easier, and your hair easier to manage. I have a friend who does WWII reinacting and she can put her hair in pin curls while driving to work!





I hope that helps!1930s women's hairstyles?
Time to go to the movies! There's always Shirley Temple, but Little Miss Moppet might be a tad young for your part.





Jean Harlow sported lots of curls at and below her ears.





Rita Hayworth, smooth and silky, was at the end of the decade, probably later than they would have in mind.





Ginger Rogers wore her hair up and down, with smooth rolls, and some wide curls.





Ethel Merman was featured in Anything Goes - she often wore shoulder length hair, turning out away from her face.





Claudette Colbert was big - You might try horizontal Marcel waves trailing down on your shoulders.





Irene Dunn wore her hair back with curls at her ear/jaw line.





There was Billie Burke, even before The Wizard of Oz, with shoulder length hair in tight curls.





Norma Shearer wore medium length hair often with a tight pincurl mass.





And of course Katherine Hepburn - hair to her shoulders with a soft wave, even before Philadelphia Story.





Fear not - the Flapper Bob was never as all encompassing as the portrayals of the Roaring Twenties would lead you to assume!
Here's a picture of Patti LuPone in Anything Goes with hair that sounds similar to yours. Looks like maybe barrettes would be cute!





This is one of my favorite shows...sooooo fun!
