Hey I love the 40's and 50's hair styles. I have been trying to do my hair like that but its hard to figure out how they did it! I have searched for tips, books, any explination as to how to go about doing it! With out much luck! I'm pretty good at being able to look at a pictures and try to recreate it! Any suggestions would help!

This was somewhat interesting...
