How can i get a flapper girl look with long hair?

Question

hiya!

i know halloween is away but it is coming up soon. im wonder how can i get that cute flapper girl hair look but with long blond/brown hair? the reason why is that i see most flappers have a short bob and black hair and i cant die my hair back (itll look B-A-D on me i've tried before and hated it) and dont really wanna cut it cause im trying to save my hair for locks of love (the place where you donate hair for people who had survived cancer) the hair is about half way to my back.

ASLO

ive been reading that flappers had small hats.. is that true?

thanks and please help me!

Answer 1

pin your hair back and make those curly cues in the front, hairspray them to your face.

Answer 2

You can make your hair stick staight and wear a sequinced head band with a ostrich feather sticking out on one side. By the way that is nice about the lock of love.  

Answer 3

Yeah, look up "flapper" on Google and click "images" -- you'll see lots of vintage pics with hats. I'll copy a link below. Maybe you can do your hair up in pincurls and leave it curly on the sides (if you have shorter hair on the sides?) I think it would take work without just using a wig, but you could do it. A wig would be easier, though.

Wig

Answer 5

Flappers had hair of all colors and I think the most popular is actually blonde. That said I don't think the color is very important. Do you have layers in your hair?? If you do, an easy fix would be to pull the longer layers into a tight bun at the base of your neck and then style the shorter layers into finger curls on your head and pin them. If you don't have layers you may still be able to do it by leaving the top section of hair out of the bun and pinning the longer parts in at the end.

Answer 6

Pin your hair up and wear a flapper-style wig.  If you use one of those stocking skull caps and then bobby pin the wig to it, it should hide all your hair and keep the wig on.  It doesn't have to be a black wig, either.  (I'm sure not all flappers had black hair!)    If you can't afford a high quality wig, get a cheapie and cut it to look like you want it to.  I've done that before too and it worked pretty well.

Answer 7

wats a flapper?

Answer 8

there is a way to get hair for that time period with long hair. if you are willing to go to a hair stylist - or experiment on your own you can get a hairstyle like this: http://beauty.about.com/od/promhairstyle... which has the short look - and the curls that were classic of the time period -- and all you have to do is pin it under to achieve that same style.

Also about the small hats - they used to wear small hair ornaments with feathers or sequins

and don't worry about not having black hair - what made  you a flapper in the time period was a set of beliefs and personal style, not hair color! :)

hope this helps!

Answer 9

get a wig.

Answer 10

The other answers are right. A wig will be good. I just wanted to tell you how wonderful I think you are for saving your hair for Locks for love!
