Then they are twisted starting from the tip and ending with the roots in the form of a roller. The resulting curl needs to be fixed. It is important to note that the hairpins should not be visible, and the rollers should wobble slightly and not be very tight. Thus, two separate curls are obtained with a gap inside. They fit symmetrically and should be a reflection of each other.
• When creating these rollers, only the top curls should be used. The remaining hair is gathered into a ponytail with an elastic band and secured with invisible hairs to hide the main attachment. The back strands are also curled up in the form of a roller and rise to the occipital region. The resulting structure must be fixed with studs.
• In order for the hairstyle to last for a long time, it is necessary to use additional cosmetic products of a gentle option, for example, varnish.

Despite the serious requirements of the last century, modern fashion trends allow you to slightly change the created image of retro with the help of slight asymmetry. The main parting can be done from the side, and where there is more hair, twist wide rollers. The main thing is not to forget about the preliminary pile. It takes much less time to create a classic retro hairstyle these days, but there are styling variations that take more than an hour to complete.
