Get that hair

• 1). Part your hair. Forties hairstyles typically have a three-quarters part that divides the hairline. If you typically do not have this part style, you may want to wet your hair and blow-dry it.
  
  
• 2). Curl your hair. One option is to curl your hair in large, neat waves. A large curling iron is suitable. A forties hairstyle typically has somewhere between five and seven curls in total. Another option is many more messy curls. These would be slightly smaller and could easily total more than 20 curls.
  
  
• 3). Pin your hair back. After you have curled your hair, pin part of it back. You want to tuck your hair neatly behind your ears. Use the bobby pins and adjust placement of the pins as needed. If your hair is shorter, you may not need bobby pins.
  
  
• 4). Spray your hair well with hairspray. Forties hairstyles are either smooth and wavy or voluminous and curly. void putting on too much hair spray and creating a crunchy look.
