We
love Marilyn Monroe’s hair and the vintage inspired hairstyle that the
star became famous for ... and with the release of the film My Week With
Marilyn we thought this was the perfect opportunity to recreate the
Hollywood Classic hair style! Using your Headkandy extensions will add
extra volume and bounce to this vintage hair style; you don’t have to stick to the
shorter lengths for this style, as Lauren Conrad, Megan Fox and many
other celebs show this style looks amazing with a little extra length
too! Following our super easy tutorial will make this red carpet classic
a doddle!
Step One
Start by fitting your extensions with your hair unstyled. Apply a little heat protection to both your hair and extensions.
Step Two
Section off your hair ready to curl. It’s most important to section the front, face framing panels!
Step Three
Start
curling your hair using the tongs. Be sure to hold your tongs
horizontally and curl the hair under. Once you have held the tong in
place for a few seconds, use one hand to hold your hair (we would advise
using a protective glove to avoid burning your fingers!) and slowly
pull the tong out of the middle. Once you have the curl in your hand use
a pin/grip to hold the curl in place to cool. Continue this step for
the back sections of hair.
Step Four
The
shape of this vintage hair style comes mainly from the hair framing your face. Be
sure to hold the tongs vertical for these sections and curl the hair
into your face. Again pin the curls and leave to cool.
Step Five
It’s
usually best to leave the curls pinned until the last minute to ensure
they are completely cooled. Once you have unpinned you hair, use a large
soft brush to gently tease out the curls. A great tip is to use a
little hairspray on your brush as this will stop your hair becoming
flyaway whilst being brushed (if using extensions then be very careful
using hairspray … use it sparingly and use a type that is easy to brush
out). You can also use a little serum on your fingers and smooth this
through your hair … you can use this to emphasise the shape of the curls
around your face.
This
Marilyn Monroe hair style looks elegant and classy and really is super
easy to do and really is the perfect look for the party season. To jazz
up this vintage inspired hairstyle and make it red carpet ready you can
pin one section of hair behind your ear and add a jewelled accessory.
