Summary of Art of Finger Waving -- Recreating Vintage 1920s and 1930s Hairstyles
Originally published in 1930, this rare book contains very detailed instructions and illustrations for recreating the fantastic long and short hair finger wave styles of the 1920s and 1930s. Finger waving is the shaping of the hair while wet into "s-curved" undulations using your fingers and a comb. You'll learn this technique as well as creating the three types of swirls to use based on the hair type of the wearer. The book begins with demonstrating the finger waving technique using numbered illustrations as well as text descriptions. After learning the technique, the book gives detailed illustrations and instructions for creating the Pompadour Finger Wave, Varsity Bob, French Cocktail Bob, Lorelei Bob, Windblown Bob, Extreme French Swirl, Whoopee Bob, Cincy Bob, Long Bob, Billie Dove Bob, Clara Bow Bob and Push-Up Wave. Sample hairstyles and illustration images are shown at the top of this page. ==== FOR MORE FANTASTIC 1920s and 1930s BEAUTY BOOKS please see "Make-Up -- 1930s Beauty Instruction and Technique and Technique" and "Art of Marcel Waving -- Creating 1920s Hair Waving Styles in Six Steps."General Books
