1930s Hair Styles
Center Part Comb Wave
Part hair directly in the center of the head,
forming a wave toward the face on each side of the part
and complete wave by placing combs as directed.
In doing a center part it is advisable to put
in a wave on each side of the part then take
your hand and push the hair up at the back to see
which way it falls naturally. If it falls more to the left
then you would lise your wave on the opposite side
and continue in the usual manner.
Straight Back Comb Wave
The hair is combed back as in a pompadour and the wave is started
first by pushing up the hair to see which direction it falls naturally.
If it falls to the left to start the wave in that direction. It is carried across
to the other side of the head. And then work back to the opposite, continuing likewise,
until you are at the nape of the neck. Then make curls.
Single-dip Straight-back Comb Wave
The hair is combed in the same manner as the Straight Back
only instead of taking the wave straight across you bring the first dip
over the face about the middle of the eyebrow and this is lost. When you reach
the other side be sure not to let the hair fall over the face but just in the front ear.
Continue in the usual manner.
Double-dip Straight-back Comb Wave
The hair is combed off the face in the same manner as theStraight Back
and pushed forward to see which side it falls on. Then bring wave over the middle
of the eyebrow and continue bringing down until you reach the middle of forehead.
Now the wave is lost and the wave is started on the opposite side
and brought over the eyebrow on the side. But the hair must not be combed up
when you approach the other wave, so it will give the effect of no wave. Continue the same.

Part hair and comb back to a quarter section of head and set water wave combs accordingly.
Half Straight Back
