Create a side part and tie your hair in a pony near the crown. Set your hair into random curls with a medium barrel iron and use it to create a messy bun. Now, tie the up do with a scarf to finish your look!

Side Ponytail For The Win

This is the easiest among all the retro hairstyles and also is one of the classiest retro/vintage looks. Ensure that the hair near your crown area isn’t too teased. Add some beachy waves ot your hair or just tousle your mane.

To do that, give your hair some good volume by using a dry shampoo. Tease the hair with a tail comb to create lift. Now smooth the teased area and secure the hair with bobby pins to anchor the volume. Now use a scrunchy to tie your hair into a side ponytail behind your ear.

The Soft Bob

Bobs were all over town in the sixties and are still in vogue. It frames rounder faces wonderfully and makes it possible for the face to look much thinner. You can achieve these structured waves by just using hot rollers. The key is to use minimal makeup with this look because mostly the soft bob would be framing your face.

Here’s How To Do It: Take 1-inch section of your hair and spray it with a mousse or spritz. Now after spritzing, put those sections into a hair roller. When the rollers start to feel cool, let your hair down. Now use dry shampoo on your crown so that your hair doesn’t look limp.

Another way to flaunt this soft bob look is also to colour your hair in auburn or dark mahogany. Dark, earthy browns give an even softer look.
