Long waved hair inspired by the 1940sHaving appeared on our radar in 2009, 1940s hair styles will continue as an inspiration for women's hairstyles in 2010. As it was last year this hair trend is again inspired by the late 40s and, to a lesser degree, the early 1950s.

Waves should be firm but not curly
Suitable for all hair colours, though less effective on black hair
Wear it with an off-centre or side part, not a centre part
Length wise, it must fall below the shoulders
Pair with classic make-up and styling
Inspired by film noir, confidence and sexual innuendo go hand in hand with 1940s wavey hair
Suitable both for the Autumn (Fall) / Winter 2010 and Spring / Summer 2010 seasons
