Reply:Get a picture of her, then play around till you get your hair to look like hers in the picture. You have nearly a month, so lots of time to experiment. I like Aussie products best, they work well and smell yummy.
Reply:Get your Mom to use extra large rollers on damp hair. Spray with a setting lotion. Dry your hair using a blow dryer. Remove the curlers - don't whatever you do, comb through your hair - loosen the curls gently and leaning upside down, give your hair a shake back as you stand up again. The style should fall neatly into place with a side parting so that you have some wave falling over one side of your face.
Reply:ok so first


go buy some redken curl activator


then have your mom curl some curls with a large curler (like 2 inch)


and then after you curl it then pin it to your head until you are ready to go =]


take the pins out then hair spray it down


good luck %26lt;3
Reply:Know whatd be easier? Go to a salon, and ask, "Can you make my hair look like Marilyn Monroe?"
Reply:Wow! You have the PERFECT hair for this kind of thing. I am in a jazz choir and i dress up for competitions, so i am familar with this kind of hair style. Here is what you might need:


Bobby Pins


Hair brush


Lightweight Hairspray


Pomade (used for control and shine without stiffness)


Setting Lotion


Here's how:


Remember that the most important part of styling your hair in the 1940's is where you place the part. If you are going to roll your hair, you should use this one. The most popular part of this decade was the side part which was also the most versatile because you can use it for day looks or the ultra glamorous looks.


ROLLING YOUR HAIR :


Rolls are the most important part of 1940's style hairstyles. The key is not to make them tall and stiff but keep them soft and feminine looking. Height isn't important as most rolls were medium sized.





1. With damp hair, make a rectangular part


2. Then create rolls of curls - go from the back to the front (the more hair you use, the larger the roll will be)


3. After your hair dries, comb out the curls and spray with a gentle hold hairspray


4. Tuck the ends of the curls under and bobby pin


You can use this technique for all your rolls. The easiest way to vary it is to change the placement of the part. You can also change the direction of the curls and tuck the ends forward instead of back. You can make a forward roll authentic by making the top of the roll lightly curved instead of straight. Also, you can use this technique to create a pompadour which is much higher by using longer hair.


THE FINISHING TOUCH :


Once you have rolls, you can so just about anything else with your hair. If you are in a hurry, you can easily put a bow in your hair or tie it up in a scarf. You can also put your hair in a hair net. Also, you can curl the sides and pull it back, braid it or even roll it at the nape of your neck.


TIPS:


The keys to making your 1940s styles look good:


Try not to let your bobby pins show


As much as you would love for your hairstyle to stay all night and sometimes all week, do not use a firm hold hairspray.


The best thing that you can do to keep the style all night is to spray your hair at the base of the rolls.


You should really only use hairspray as a finishing touch.


For a smooth look, you can use pomade (which, can be difficult to wash out).


If your hair is thin and won't hold rolls, you can place a "rat" in the roll which they sell at most beauty supply stores. This is a soft mesh netting in a similar hair color as your own.


I know it seems like a lot to do, but once you get the hang of it, all your friends will be super-jealous of your fabulous look!


Have fun!
