Vintage Hairstyles

If vintage hairstyles are your calling card, you’ve come to the right place. We love classic hairstyles, and in between rocking topknots and beachy waves, we sometimes get the itch to look to the past for some much needed hair inspiration.

With so many our favourite leading women (and their hair stylists) seemingly creating famous looks from the past on the runway or red carpet, recreating the same look at home can seem impossible. But it doesn’t have to be with our team of expert editors around. Whether you’re looking for some insight on the vintage hair trends that are making a comeback or in-depth tips and tricks to easily recreate the looks at home, you’ll find everything you need to know about vintage hairstyles right here.

From elegant braided Victorian hairstyles to retro pin-up 50s ‘dos and beyond, any of these classic, definitive styles will be bound to work in your favour, whatever the occasion. Watch our video tutorials and follow our step-by-step guides and master any vintage hairstyle at hand. Never quite got to grips with finger waves? Wondering if you can pull of a Pompadour? Don’t do know the difference between 60’s hair and 70’s hair? (Hint: the ’60s focused more on styling, while the 70’s focused less on it!). We’re here to help give you a guiding hand, because believe it or not, even the most complex retro hairstyles are surprisingly simple to master, once you know how.

The trick with vintage hair is all in the products, which is why you’ll also learn which ones are essential for making each style you recreate look extra professional. And if you’re looking for inspiration, we’ve covered that too: from runway-to-real-life vintage hair trends, any of these refreshing styles will allow you to channel the era you love, in a cinch (regardless of your hair length and type!)
