How to create a 1940s hairstyle with afro(ish) hair

[KatyMac]

It doesn't need to be authentic/real!! Just a reasonable facsimile

DD's hair is very curly/mixed/not really afro.....she is 20 so will manage if I explain properly

& I'm not very good with hair - will this work?

If the night before she twists the 2 front bits of her hair and leaves then in over night (with conditioner)
Then sort of shapes them into sausage shapes using hidden kirby grips to hold them?
And then puts all of the rest of her hair into a snood also fixed with kirby grips?

Will that work/look ok?

Bump

You buy fabric sausage things that you roll up in your own hair to create the rolls IYSWIM

thanks, so a bit like rollers

A heartshaped silhouette is the thing for 40's hair so what you're planning should be fine

I actually saw a chignon type styler thing in Primark over the weekend like a slim elongated bun ring.

This might help

Oh she is fabulous! Thanks

Actually she has an old bun thing (from when someone insisted we need one for ballet with out realising wuite how much hair she had)

We will get there!

Thanks all
