2. TWENTY FABULOUS 2-WAY HAIRDOS

Don't just sit there and dream ... do something!

You've figured out your figure. You've faced your face. And you've seen your profile as others see it. You've learned all the tricks to make you more beautiful than you are—how to use illusion
to play up your good features and play down those hat are less than perfect.

So, it's time to pick the perfect hairdo for you. Should you wear a high and mighty do? Or is a flat top better for you? Should your style be wide and handsome, or sleek as a cap? Should you diminish your brow with bangs, or accentuate it with a pompadour? Should your locks sweep up from the nape, or should they cuddle into it?

What length is right for you? Should your hair be short, or upswept to elongate your neck? Or should you wear it longish with waves snuggling around your too thin or too long throat?

Here are twenty fabulous hairdos. Look at them carefully. Pick and choose as though you were shopping for an important dress. Study each sketch. Jot down the good features about the "do's" you like . . . then compare them with your features. Ask yourself if they fit in with your way of life. Do they compliment your face, your profile, your figure?

Don't make the mistake of doing your hair "just like" all of your friends do. Don't copy Jackie Kennedy, or Mary Gotrich, or your favorite singer.

Do your own hair styling. Do what's best for YOU. Don't be a look-alike. The purpose of this book is to help you build up your own charm and beauty, to help you develop an attractive person­ality that's yours and yours alone.

Be individual and original. And, most of all, be your own pretty self. And watch the boys come to your door!

A word of warning: All men like pretty hair. They like it clean and glossy and fragrant. But most males shy away from extremes. So, consider your man before you pick an exaggerated "do."

The Cover Girl

by clairol (see cover)

This is what it means to you:

The Cover Girl has the natural daytime look that so many girls dream of. And yet her hairdo can be tamed down and glamorized for dress-up. It was designed for the oval face but it is versatile enough to be worn (with slight variations) by many other face types.

For Daytime:

Use a little Creme Hairdress on shaft of hair. Then back-comb hair (or tease), to give it volume. Brush all hair back, and then brush the back and sides from underneath. Now sweep a side bang across forehead.

TWO-WAY HAIRDO

The High, Wide and Handsome

BY MR. ENNY, HOUSE OF REVLON

This is what it means to you:

A lovely soft frame for a girl with an oval face who wants to look chic—and pretty. It calls for fairly long, lustrous hair. The one setting can turn from deliberately naive to charmingly sophisticated.

For Daytime:

Back-brush the hair from one side to the other and down the back. Flip it up from a low part to a soft pompadour, with a flipped turn on top. Smooth and curve one section from the inner edge of the eyebrow down over the widest part of the cheek­bone and turn out in a deeply waved swoop. On the other side, make a bouffant wave ending in an out­ward curl.

free short hair styles

For Dress-up:

Arrange the top as for the daytime hairdo. Smooth back over the tips of the ears and arrange the back in a French twist, or anchor the hair smoothly with jeweled combs.

Your Hair:

6 to 8 inches at crown, about 4 inches at nape

What to use:*

Jumbo rollers front and back (size 1) Medium size at sides (size 2)

The Wing Ding

BY ENRICO CARUSO

This is what it means to you:

If your face is pear-shaped, you need a hairdo that widens your forehead, narrows your jaw line. The Wing Ding does this by focusing on a line that cuts cleanly across your hairline, swoops in at the top of your cheeks and then curves out and up, to diminish your jaw.

For Daytime:

Back-comb side locks very lightly and brush up to pouf out at the sides. Keep the top smooth and slightly lifted. Back hair should hug the nape of the neck.

free short hair styles


free short hair styles

For Dress-up:

Brush off forehead and lift slightly with rat-tail comb (Tip-Top's No. 293 is excellent). Turn a large eyecatcher curl forward and up. Arrange sides in smooth, half waves onto the cheeks. Back-brush hair at crown, smooth gently, and comb hair flat at the neck line.

HAIRDO HOW-TO

The Wing Ding BY ENRICO CARUSO

How to do it:

* Editor's note: We recommend Tip-Top size 4 or 5 Brush Curlers.

TWO-WAY HAIRDO

The Upsa-Daisy

BY JACY DE PARIS OF THE WALDORF

This is what it means to you:

A round face needs height in its coif to give the illusion of more length. Side swoops on the cheeks can give a more oval effect by diminishing the width. If the hair is piled very high, like the evening version of the High Flyer, side swoops are not needed be­cause the whole head silhouette becomes oval in proportion.

For Daytime:

Tease the top, then brush in one motion up at the forehead, then down in a smooth curve from end of eye and over ear. Tease the back and brush up in full, flipped pouff.

free short hair styles


free short hair styles

For Dress-up:

Back-brush the top, then swing back hair and right side up to join forward moving tendrils or half wave. Brush left side from the temple in a sweeping bandeau across the forehead. Try a Tip-Top Hi-Style Clip Comb high on the side. Very glamourous—and it will help anchor the swirl.

HAIRDO HOW-TO

The Upsa-Daisy

BY JACY DE PARIS OF THE WALDORF

Your hair:

5 to 6 inches

The Pretty Pixie

BY MICHEL DE PARIS

This is what it means to you:

If your face is heart-shaped and you have an extra-high forehead—the Pixie is for you. The bangs hide your forehead, and the ear-length hair will elongate the rest of your face—emphasizing your pretty little chin.

For Daytime:

Hair is parted way down on one side. Then it is brushed smoothly over the crown and down over the forehead, to form diagonal bangs. It is then flipped in at the temple and out and away over the ear. The other side is brushed in the complete opposite way —it is pouffed out and brought into the cheek and topped with one of Tip-Top's velvet bows.

The Impish Elf

BY ENRICO CARUSO

This is what it means to you:

A natural look—soft and pretty, but with a hint of an imp, just to keep it from making you too sugary sweet. This is a hairdo designed for an oval face, but could be equally becoming to a girl with a heart-shaped face, or a round one. It is so simple and easy, you might just set it once and flip it this way and that to see if it works for you—whether your face is round, square or pear-shaped.

For Daytime:

Tease the top hair slightly to give a lift to your hair from crown to brow. Brush back over crown— very lightly. Then, with hand under front hair, brush gently and smoothly into a rolled wave on the forehead. Sides are teased just a little under the hair at the temples, then curved outward and down onto the cheeks. The back is brushed into a sleek line to the nape, with no curl.

free short hair styles


free short hair styles

For Dress-up:

Starting about 32 inches back of the crown, brush all hair in one swoop, curving down at the neckline and behind your ears. Brush deep bangs forward, low enough to cover your eyebrows. Separate them into a fringed or jagged effect with your fingers or a rat-tail comb. To keep this in perfect order, spray before venturing into the wind.

The Impish Elf

BY ENRICO CARUSO

Your hair:

Top about 32 inches; crown shaped U inches at the sides, 5 inches at the center; sides of the head, 3 inches, tapered to 2 inches at the ears; nape, tapered from 3 to 12 inches at center.

What to use:*

Medium size curlers Bob pins

How to do it:

Frontturn three curlers in the same direction, the middle one directly above the nose.

Sideson one side, starting with level of crown, roll three curlers down to ear-top level; repeat a slightly slanted row back of this. On the other side, start your curlers slightly higher and, using four, set to the top of the ear.

Backuse five curlers over crown, moving in same direction as the front. In center back use three curlers to above nape. Finish with pin curls.

*Editor's note: We recommend Tip-Top's size 1 Foam Cushion Curlers and No. 125 Sof-Tip Bob Pins.

The Curvaceous Side Flip

BY JULIUS CARUSO

This is what it means to you:

If your face is oblong—try curves to round out and soften the angular lines. The Side Flip draws attention away from proportions that may be too strong. The soft fluffy look, flipped out at the side, gives width across the brow, softens your forehead and makes you look maddeningly feminine.

For Daytime:

Brush hair from the top of one ear over the top of the head. With your brush, flip up wisps on one side and in the back. On the other side, make a kiss curl on your cheek.

free short hair styles

For Dress-up:

The Boy-Meets-Girl

BY CHARLES OF THE RITZ

This is what it means to you:

A perfect warm weather hairdo! It's cool and short at the nape. Then it rises to a pinwheel pouff on top. It was designed for the oval face. But it could make the heart-shape look very pixie indeed.

For Daytime:

Brush the back neatly down, and form a soft puff at the sides—dipping onto the temple. The top is brushed into a swirl—up, away and around to form a hollow roll off center.

Again, brush the back neatly down. Then, from high on the crown, brush top and sides forward. Curve a little guiche in front of each ear. And sepa-Comb that looks like a pretty golden dogwood rate those side-swooping bangs with a Tip-Top Clip blossom.

HAIRDO HOW-TO

The Peak of Chic

BY MICHEL KAZAN

This is what it means to you:

If your face is square you can easily adapt its shape to your heart's desire. Start with a design that breaks the straight lines, softens your forehead and gives a pretty lifted look to your cheeks. Actu­ally, you should choose a hairdo that makes the most of your eyes. Here's a good way to do it. For Daytime:

Brush all hair up, then swirl to one side. Turn curls in an ascending line from the corner of the eye, to the top of the ear, to hairline level, and finally to a swirling curl level with the top of your head. This draws the eye up, giving the impression of a slim­mer jaw line. If you have a widow's peak, dandy. It is one of the prettiest ways to break the straight across and severe brow-line of a square face. But you don't have to be born with a peak—if you have a low hairline, you can pluck one. If you have a high forehead, you can use an artificial embellishment— (That's a tiny bit of a sort of wig!)

free short hair styles


free short hair styles

For Dress-up:

Sweep your hair up, then make a crown of curls from temple to temple, just about three inches above your hairline. You will find this arrangement easier to place if you tease the hair on the top of the head enough to give a high important background for the curls.

HAIRDO HOW-TO

The Peak of Chic BY MICHEL KAZAN

Your hair:

From 5 inches at forehead, graduating to 1 inch at nape of neck
What to use:*

Frontjumbo snap-ons

Back and sidesmedium snap-ons and pin curl clips

How to do it:

Sidesroll two horizontal curlers up at eyeline. Use pin curls on both sides, up from hairline to front of ear in direction indicated.

The Pageboy Pouff

BY KENNETH OF LILLY DACHE

This is what it means to you:

If you want a hairdo which will give you the utmost in variety—the Pageboy Pouff is it. It's meant for an oval face. However, the round face can try the dress-up version. And the square face would do well to cope with the daytime style.

For Daytime:

All of your hair—from temple to temple—should be teased and then brushed back into a smooth pomp­adour. Both sides will need a bit of teasing, too. Then they will be brushed out and back again to the cheeks —to form a head-hugging pageboy.

For Dress-up:

All hair is swept upward. The sides are brushed neat and smooth and then tucked under a blossom of a pompadour. It's really a crown with a fresh rose tucked into the top.

TWO-WAY HAIRDO

The Pomp-and-Pouff

BY CHARLES OF THE RITZ

This is what it means to you:

Do you like a high and mighty hairdo? This con­vertible one is particularly effective for the square face. It will give all of the rounded lines that a squarish face needs—plus the height. And the dress-up version is made even higher with a chignon hair piece.

For Daytime:

The pouff is achieved with a little teasing. Then it is puffed high over the crown and away from the forehead. Now it is brushed smooth and draped over to one side—ending in a flapper curl.

free short hair styles


free short hair styles

For Dress-up:

Again, a bit of teasing is indicated. Then the hair is brushed smoothly away from the forehead into a high pompadour. Now for drama—the hairdo is topped with a small hair piece which is draped into a hollow roll—like a doughnut.

The Baby Cleo

BY HELENA RUBINSTEIN

This is what it means to you:

Do you have a pear-shaped face? The Baby Cleo is styled for you in the most becoming way. All the width is at the forehead and upper part of your face. The outward and upward sweep concentrates inter­est on your eyes, makes your jaw seem narrower.

For Daytime:

From the center part, brush up and out, keeping the top flat. Brush side hair back smoothly to meet the peaks of the top arrangement. Keep the hair fairly close to your neck at the nape.

TWO-WAY HAIRDO

The Grecian Princess

BY MR. ERIC OF WALTER FLORELL

This is what it means to you:

The evening version of the Grecian Princess re­quires a perfect oval face, but the daytime style is very becoming to many other shapes. Analyze the lines and you will see that it is right for the round, the oblong, even the heart-shaped.

For Daytime:

Brush your hair loosely towards the front, sepa­rating soft curly strands to give a wind-swept look. Brush it back and up on the forehead, teasing it a little to give fullness.

free short hair styles

For Dress-up:

This classic Grecian arrangement is brushed to the back and teased to give enough body to hold the puffed-out shape. The forehead is much the same as the daytime version. At the sides and nape, small tendrils curl out softly.

Your hair:

About 6 inches except at nape where hair is about 3 inches

The Sophisticated Swirl

BY HELENA RUBINSTEIN This is what it means to you:

Does your face seem too round? Here's a way to give the illusion that it is a perfect oval. The So­phisticated Swirl lifts your hair to make your face look longer, then swoops out over one cheek to de­tract from the width. This asymmetrical effect is very new and very chic. For Daytime:

Tease the top and left hand side of your hair, then brush it all in one direction—right to left, keep­ing the right side smooth and close. Brush the left side over your hand in a sleek turn under.

TWO-WAY HAIRDO

The Flyaway

BY JULIUS CARUSO

This is what it means to you:

If you have a diamond-shaped face—the Flyaway will help give you a piquant look. It conceals the shape and height of your forehead, adds length to your face, and seems to widen the chin. This could be right for a heart-shaped face, too.

For Daytime:

Starting about an inch above one ear, brush from one side to the other, with quick strokes toward the face. Tease the side hair gently and brush the ends forward and under.

The Tip-Top Puff

BY CHARLES OF THE RITZ

This is what it means to you:

There are two things an oblong face needs most— rounding and shortening. The Tip-Top Puff achieves both of these illusions. The curved top, in both versions, gives a balance to angular lines. And the fluffed-out sides tend to give a shortening effect.

For Daytime:

Hair is brushed smoothly down at back and sides and then flipped out and up at the ends. The top hair is brushed around and around in a swirl—forming a draped puff on top.

For Dress-up:

The Cleopatra

BY MR. ERIC OP WALTER FLORELL

This is what it means to you:

Here's a hairdo that practically everyone wants to try, because it is new and different from anything we're used to. This Cleopatra was designed for an oval face. But it could be modified—especially in the daytime version—to be right for the diamond, the heart, and even the round. Try both when you have time and are in a mood to experiment. If it's wrong —just brush it away! For Daytime:

Tease the top hair gently and arrange it in a smooth cushion from the side part and down over the left eye. Bring wisps of hair forward on the forehead from the part. Brush the sides in a soft, casual forward line.


free short hair styles

For Dress-up:

This is a very smooth style. Tease the hair firmly for great fullness, then brush lightly over the top. Turn the ends in for the traditional square, straight line of this Egyptian coif. Side swept bangs descend from the side part.

If your hair is curly and your forehead a bit narrower than the typical heart-shape, try the Care­free. Your hair should be eartip length on the sides, two inches at the temples, and about one inch in back, on the neck. It is brushed up and out to widen the line of your forehead and to emphasize your chin.

For Daytime:

All you do is brush and comb your hair, then toss it up and out with the brush. Use your fingers to arrange the line at the temples. For active sports, this one is designed to satisfy the most disheveled beauty in a hurry.

The Flirty Pouff

BY MICHEL DE PARIS

This is what it means to you:

If your face is slightly squared off, here are nice rounded lines for you. The top curve of the Flirty Pouff gives height to your squarish face. The fluff ed-out side wing and the wispy bangs give an illusion of roundness.

For Daytime:

Tease hair a bit on top and then brush it smoothly away from brow. Brush it in a clean sweep behind one ear. On the other side, swoop it away from temple, curve it back to the cheek. Then, flip the ends out and away.
