Mad Men Hairstyles!

1. Peggy

This season Peggy begins to rock some serious volume with her 60's style. To begin, make sure you use a quality volumizing shampoo and conditioner, like for example Matrix Amplify's Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner Duo. Next blow dry your hair upside down and use a large (2in or more) round brush and split hair up sections. If you want to feel extra mod, try using the the The Marilyn Tuxedo Pro Round Brushes 2-1/2". This large brush will help to create the flip to the ends of the hair as well as create some volume at the crown of your head. If your hair is a bit fine naturally, make sure you set this look with some hairspray. And let's be honest, it's not really a vintage style without some Aqua Net Extra Super Hold Hairspray!


2. Joan

This style is the easiest to translate from mod to modern without straying too far from the original concept. With wet hair use a volumizing mousse, like Big Sexy Hair Humidity Resistant Volumizing Spray Mousse and then set your hair with XL rollers. You can find a set like Conair's Extreme Heat Jumbo and Super Jumbo-Sized Rollers for under $30! You want to keep them in for about 25 minutes. Once you take them out tease your crown a bit with a small comb, then twist it back into an understated updo. Your curls will help this process and keep your hair looking full. Use some bobby pins to hold this look in place. I recommend having fun with the bobby pins and use colored or accented ones (try Multi-Color String of Flowers Bobby Pins for example). Add a bit of Rusk Wired Flexible Styling Creme  to help your bangs stay swept to the side and you're good to go!

3. Betty

Betty style consists of controlled curls. You can go with a 1 or 1/2 inch curling iron like Conair Satin Finish 1-Inch Ceramic Curling Iron or a set of a set of hot rollers in a variety of sizes like Helen of Troy- Hot Tools Hot Roller Hairsetter- 20 Hair Rollers in 3 Sizes. I'd stick with the small and medium sizes. First, spray your whole head with a curl activator spray like TRESemme's. Next use the curlers to curl your hair to right below your ears. After about 20 minutes release the curls and pin them under. Make sure to pay attention to and play with the hair framing your face to maintain that soft polished wave. Set your look with Sexy Hair Concepts Big Sexy Hair Big Shine Spray and you've mastered Betty's subtle, but sultry retro 'do!

And there you have it -- go from 2010 to 1962 in less than 30 minutes!
