1940s Up dos

Ringlet curl

1.
Part wet hair saturated with setting lotion
from the center front to below the crown of the head.
Make another part at right angles to the center part
from the center of the right ear to that of the left ear.

2.
Comb the back hair straight and make three rows
of loose pin curls at the neck.

3.
Comb the front hair on each side upward
and backward and turn it over the thumb
in a forward downward movement into a long ringlet curl.

4.
Place a roll of tissue inside the ringlet
to make it looser and pin lightly.
Dry under net, then remove the tissue
and pin side coils, lightly blending the ends
into the back hair. The back hair is combed
into either a cluster of soft curls or a single smooth roll.
This lovely on an oval face.
