The
Great Gatsby is the talk of the entertainment world following the
premiere at Cannes Film Festival earlier this month and the more
recent Australian red carpet event. Queensland Hairdresser of the
Year 2013, Bill Tsiknaris, and his team from Tsiknaris Hair
demonstrate how to create one of the most recognisable styles
embraced by the 1920’s flappers, the finger wave.
“The
Great Gatsby has created a resurgence of interest in 1920’s style
and glamour. Hair of the era featured sharp cheek bone length bobs
with blunt fringes and perfectly styled finger waves. We have created
a modern adaptation of the finger wave to suit a slightly longer hair
style. Hair with fewer layers will work better for this look,” Bill
Tsiknaris said.
What you will
need:
- Small curling tong (you can use irons but your look will be a lot looser)
- Products: Styling tonic, workable hairspray, fixing hairspray
- Large bristle brush & comb
- 2 x sectioning clips & a few pin curl clips
Starting on
clean dry hair spray the Alterna Styling Tonic (RRP. $32.95)
over the hair, moving it about so all the hair is covered.
- Comb to evenly distribute the product.
- Part the hair. For this look a more dramatic clean side part gives the best effect.
- Hold the tong close to the head, winding the hair down and away from the side with less hair on.
- Repeat this all the way along your 1st section making sure all your curls are curling the same way.
- Keep repeating this until the whole head is done. Your hair will look like a lot of tight ringlets all curling in the same direction.
- Spray your whole head with Alterna Working Hair Spray (RRP $38.45). Try and not disturb the curls being very gentle lift them up and place them back down.
- Leave the curls for 2-5mins.
- Dressing out the curls: Using your large bristle brush, slowly but firmly start brushing out the hair starting from the ends working your way up the head.
- At first the hair will become frizzy but the more you brush and work the hair the more control you will get.
- To connect all the hair waves together starting from the top, brush the hair and slowly mould it with the brush, placing the side of your hand in to the hair when you start to see a crease in the hair forming.
- Holding your hand firm in place start working on your next section below this brushing it firmly to start forming the next part of your wave. It should start to be forming a large ‘s’ shape.
- Once all the hair is in place spray a light mist of workable hairspray over the back section.
- The front section is where you get most of your 1920’s style.
- Like the back of the hair, brush the front and mould it into place so you start to create that finger wave look.
.
You will start
to see that classic 1920’s wave.
- Use a few pin curl clips to help the hold the front section in place.
- Place the clips in the creases of the wave around the face to hold the style.
Once you are happy with the overall look, spray with Alterna Caviar Extra Hold Hairspray (RRP$38.45)
- Remove pin curl clips after 5 minutes.
