Vintage Hairstyle Tutorial: Get Glam Brushed-out Curls Without Heat
I was looking for the perfect brush-out for my new long bob and came up with this brushed-out curls hairstyle to share with you.
This vintage hairstyle hearkens back to 1940's vintage curl style, but it’s an easy brush out to create with the help of foam curlers.
Tools and materials:
- Small foam rollers
- Brush and comb
1. Separate and wet your hair
Taking small sections of hair at a time, start by spraying the section to dampen it.
2. Curl your hair
Use small foam curlers to curl under each section of hair. When curling your bangs, curl more sideways than directly under.
Continue curling all of your hair on both sides, but only the bottom half of your hair in the back.
3. Wrap and wait
Wrap your curls in a scarf and leave the rollers in overnight.
4. Brush out your curls
In the morning, remove your rollers and DO NOT PANIC at the tightness of the curls!
Brush out your curls.
Keep brushing and be patient. The more you brush the softer and longer your curls get.
You can see that happening when you compare the two sides of my head!
OK, I think we’re getting somewhere now!
The back is definitely headed in the right direction.
I worked the front some more with my brush and a hair pick, to give it the shape I wanted.
Here it is a few hours later. It hasn’t relaxed as much as I’d hoped but the curls have separated some.
But, overall, I think I got the look I was looking for.
Here’s the finished back.
I took one more pass through my curls with a comb, and that really did soften it a lot more.
Now I’m really happy with the outcome. This is definitely a pretty cute look that I’ll go for once in a while.
