With numerous Halloween parties going on this month, I’ve
compiled what I have found to be some fantastic sources to help you get ready
for a 1920s vintage mobsters event like the Mobsters Ball happening in Stony
Plain, AB on October 27.

Long hair:
When creating pin curls in the hair, remember to hold onto the end of
the hair as you curl upward. This will
ensure the curl doesn’t fall out as you roll in upward. Place your pin there as well (where ever the
end of your hair is in that curl). Remember
to also use pins that are close to the colour of your hair.
Short hair:
Since I have long, thick curly hair, I’ve found the technique to do
finger waves on myself is easiest using long clips or long bobby pins to hold
finger waves. The first video shows
simple ways to do waves, although I push the comb and create a more defined “C”
shape to form the “S” as the second video shows. Key things to remember: Use a strong gel
(Dippity Do I’ve found is really good and very cheap) and get some long bobby
pins or clips.

Hair for the Guys:
Slide part, slick it back. Here’s a tutorial on how to get the 1920s slick look. Also? This video made me giggle.
This video is long, but it is also the best video I’ve seen for
1920s makeup application:
