1940s inspired hair is a perennial favourite on the red carpet . It’s chic and glamorous, yet retro and cool, which is why it has become a go-to look of some of our favourite fashion-forward stars like Scarlett Johansson , Diane Kruger and Sienna Miller who all like their look to have a retro edge. Give the look a try if you have a special summer party or wedding planned, and like any style these days, it works best when worn a little undone. Celebrity Hairdresser, Lee Stafford says ‘the key to this type of retro hairstyle is to part hair on either side instead of the middle. Curl the hair with tongs, spritz with Shine Head Shine Spray and then gently brush out the curls, pushing them into waves’.
