Old Hollywood hair is an ever-stylish classic style that remains fashionable today. The old Hollywood is the ideal wedding hairstyle, perfect for weddings and all hair types alike. Front face-framing curls have been styled into rolled-under coils that flow along both sides to a length just above the shoulders, while pin curls adorning the back are set into rows of pin coils.
Blonde Hair
If you’re contemplating going blonde, consult with your stylist on the shade that best complements you. Pink hues work better with cool complexions, while warmer tones consider peach to achieve a more subdued yet natural appearance. If your hair starts with darker roots, multiple bleaching sessions may be required to reach platinum blonde. Keep an at-home hair dye handy to quickly touch up any stray hearts between salon appointments. Light natural blonde is a timeless color. Bold enough to make an impactful statement while remaining sleek with modern attire, pair this gorgeous hue with voluminous curls and shine-enhancing hair spray for a sophisticated yet seductive appearance.
Curls
Hollywood waves, made famous by Veronica Lake and Rita Hayworth during the 1940s and still worn today by Blake Lively, Lana Del Rey, and Jessica Chastain, are timeless yet beautiful hairstyles that brides looking for vintage charm can achieve with proper styling products. To create the Hollywood waves seen here, begin by applying an anti-frizz cream product on mid-lengths and ends before using heat tools – this will ensure your locks remain smooth and shiny throughout the day! With a curling iron or Flexi-rods, divide your hair into sections of equal size and shape and curl each in the same direction. Be sure to brush out your coils afterward for softened results that look more natural, and mist your locks with curl hold spray to maintain this style all day and night – you could even add an eye-catching hair accessory for extra glamour!
Layers
Old Hollywood hair is often achieved using layers. This timeless hairstyle adds dimension and helps add fullness. Layers also work great at concealing fine strands, so they appear thicker. An elegant side-swept bang with soft layers can also make a style choice for brides on their big day. This romantic silver screen-inspired look pairs beautifully with a floor-length veil to achieve a sophisticated and polished appearance. To achieve a glamorous retro look, stylists suggest starting with a proper haircare regimen, including Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo and Moroccanoil Hydrating Conditioner, then applying Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream from roots to ends for frizz control and added volume. Finally, misting TRESemme TRES TWO Extra Hold Hair Spray will keep the style in place all night long!
Volume
Old Hollywood hair was famous for its signature bouncy waves. These signature waves were famously worn by movie actresses who lifted morale during turbulent times with their starlet appeal and morale-boosting glamour. Start your Old Hollywood look right with a healthy haircare regimen for maximum effect. Use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner, followed by a light misting of hairspray for additional hold without stiffness. For an extravagant effect, try ZALA Quadlux clip-in extensions. This set offers four different lengths that enable you to achieve any look for any special event or special occasion. Complete your ensemble by accessorizing with an elegant hairpiece or barrette for a show-stopping style that turns heads!
