60s Hair
Equipment:
-pin tail comb
-heated rollers
-hair brush
-hair grips
-hair spray

Step by step:

1. Create either a centre parting or a deep side part to create a swoop fringe. I chose to do a centre part.

2. Put rollers in going away from the parting at the front of the head, using blue rollers.

3. Put three red rollers down the back of the head. 

4. Put red rollers on either side of the middle strip on a slight angle so the hair goes backwards.

5. Let the rollers cool down completely so the hair sets in place and then carefully take them all out, starting from the bottom. 

6. Brush through the hair to loosen the curls.

7. Separate the two front sections so they can be left out and used as a decretive fringe. 

8. Take a section at the crown of the head and backcomb it, starting from the front and going backwards. Be firm when back combing to create a lot of lift and body. 

9. Shape the back combed hair into a beehive shape and lightly brush the top section to give a smooth finish. 

10. Back comb the under neath of the two fringe sections to give them some lift at the root.

11. Take the two fringe sections back and discretely pin them into the beehive, creating a pretty swooping shape.

12. Brush through and style the hair that is left to hang loose. 

I am happy with the final result, however I would have wanted the hair to have a bit more of a curl at the bottom. I found that when I took all the rollers out the hair looked very curly and bouncy, but that they fell very quickly when they were brushed through. I found it difficult to create a very smooth and symmetrical beehive; however after playing around with it I am happy with the shape I got. I love how the fringes swoop to the side to frame the face and I like how the roots look lifted because it gives the look more shape. To improve the look I would use hair spray to tame any flyaway hairs and to keep everything set in place. 

70s Hair
Equipment:
-pin tail comb
-heated rollers
-hair brush
-hair grips
-hair spray

Step by step:

1. Create a centre parting using your pin tail comb.

2. Put the rollers going away from the parting, only one on each side of the parting, with blue rollers.

3. Put all the other rollers in the hair going backwards, using red and blue to give bigger curls.
4. Take the rollers out when the hair has cooled down and set.
5. Brush through all the hair to give very soft and fluffy waves and set lightly with hairspray.
