■Carol has a classic yet modern style that looks like she's stepped out of a 1950s fashion magazine. Hair and lip styling to create a lustrous look that any woman would envy


【STEP 1】A Classic 50s Hairstyle
1. To prepare your hair, spray some hairspray throughout to help keep the curls in place.
2. Take a section of hair and curl it with a curling iron, securing it with pins. Repeat this process throughout your hair. A 26mm curling iron is best, but a standard 32mm iron will also work!
3. With the pins still in place, apply cold air to help the curls stay in place. Even if it's a bit of a hassle, don't skip any steps.
4. Curl your bangs while twisting them backwards and use the iron to set them in place. 5. While checking the overall balance, secure the hair with pins to prevent it from falling off, then spray the entire hair with a strong hold spray. When doing this, it's important to make sure that the sides are curled more firmly than the back. 6. Remove the pins and you're done. [STEP 2] Master the application of red lipstick, as taught by a pro. Apply a cherry-red lipstick roughly to your lips using the tip of your lipstick. Relax and apply the color without paying too much attention to the outline of your lips. This lip makeup creates a classic yet modern impression with a slight hint of blue, bringing out your inner femininity. [STEP 3] From 1950s hairstyles to modern, voluminous, natural hair styles. 1. Use your hands to loosen the hair, as if you were blowing air into it. 2. After loosening the hair, apply fiber wax to the entire hair using a pinching motion. 3. The key is the parting. Be sure to avoid making the contrast too obvious, and finish with a natural nuance.
