Retro Hairstyle Inspiration

Popular and timeless for a reason, these retro hairstyles will inspire you to try something new.
Old is the new new when it comes to hairstyles, and these classic retro-esq 'dos are the perfect inspiration for a fancy look.

Vampy Vixen

These waves are a beautiful take on a classic finger wave inspired hairdo and will leave you with a beautifully soft finish. Don't forget the hairspray to combat fly-aways and to keep your style in place. A vampy deep red lipstick color is optional, but will kick the retro feel of this lovely look up a notch.

Gorgeous Glamazon

Sometimes the simplest of styles is the best. A deep side hair part and some large hair rollers or a large curling iron will get you this old Hollywood look. Team it with a strapless dress and no necklace to allow your hair to garner all the attention.

Beehive Babe

It doesn't get more retro than this! The beehive is a staple hairstyle for those who love classic looks and isn't nearly as hard to achieve as you might think. The key to keeping the retro glam of this style is to ensure you sweep your front sections or bangs sideways across your forehead, and that your 'hive isn't full of hair frizz.

Platinum Princess

While the style of this mid-length wavy 'do is very retro-esq, it's the fabulous platinum blonde hair color that gives it the trademark retro feel. If your hair is already this shade of blonde, curl your locks so that your hair length sits just below your ears and enjoy a throwback look- retro sunnies optional.

Party Perfect Hairstyle Ideas

Having a party to go to is an excuse to get creative with your hair and to try something new. For such an occasion, we love these party-esq looks and encourage you to give them a try the next time you hit the party circuit.

Volume and Texture

Big, volume filled locks are just made for a party atmosphere and allow you to get all the attention focused on your hair. This great option teams teased roots with a side-swept front section and some beautiful soft curls through the lengths for a great hit of texture.

Updo

Unless your party is big on sophistication, you don't need an elaborate updo with delicate styling or an elegant finish to create an great look. Often, just pulling all of your strands up so they are out of your face is the best way to go- and a great option for dancing! This hairdo playfully pulls the locks to one side so the finish is very fun and flirty. Try this look with any hair texture.

Hair Color

If there's ever a time that bright colored hair is welcome, it's at a party! We suggest opting for spray in temporary hair color if bright pink hair isn't a look allowed at your workplace come Monday. Mix and match your shades as seen here, or try strips of clip in colored hair extensions for a splash of color between your strands if you can't color all of your hair.

Something Simple

For those who need a party look that isn't too time consuming and is easy to set and forget, go for something simple. Straight strands that are big on hair shine will suit any hair length and is easy to achieve with the right hair products and heated styling tools.
