Do-it-yourself Gatsby hairstyle
The 1920s are characterized by general emancipation – girls fight for gender equality, drive a car, smoke, refuse puffy dresses and corsets in favor of comfortable loose styles and, of course, cut their hair short.
You don’t have to think about how to do your own Gatsby hair if you wear a pixie or bob haircut.
Pay attention to a few points that are worth considering to emphasize the spirit of retro:
Parting – side
A side parting makes any styling more feminine and elegant, and for those with a round or full face, it helps to visually narrow the proportions.
cold wave
In the distant 20s, girls laid strands in waves and really used the “cold" technique for this. Today it is much easier to create waves with an iron or curling iron.
Smoothness and clarity
No naturalness, naturalness, and even more negligence – the strands are laid neatly and smoothly.
Even if you prefer long flowing hair, the hairstyle should be well fixed with styling products.
colorful accessories

How to style a gatsby party hairstyle
To perform a cold wave, you will need a curling iron or iron, as well as styling products.
Light wax, clay or gel will do – as a result, the wave should be perfectly smooth and shiny. You should not use glitter varnish – it is not at all shimmering particles that should give shine to the hair, you should achieve a satin surface.
To make the waves clear and strong, use clips or large invisible ones during styling:
- Part your hair in a side part
- Separate a strand of hair from the face and apply the chosen styling product
- Grab the iron near the roots and turn the iron 180° around its axis in the direction of the parting.
- After a few seconds, release the iron, move the resulting wave to your face and fix it with a clip
- Grab the same strand just below the first wave and turn in the opposite direction
- Slide the wave away from your face and secure with a clip
- Treat the entire strand in this way.
- Treat all the strands in the same way, trying to arrange the waves at the same height.
- Dry your hair with a warm hair dryer, then cool with cold air
- Remove the clips and combine the strands so that the waves look like a single composition.
Finished styling should be varnished, can be supplemented with a bandage or ribbon.
To make a Gatsby-style party hairstyle for short hair, you can take an ordinary curling iron with a cylindrical heating element instead of an iron.
- Perform the first wave at the roots as follows: place the cylindrical element under the strand and press on top.
- The second wave is done the other way around – the curling iron is located above the strand and is pressed from below.
If you have thin curls that are easy to style, you can not use clips, but simply varnish the finished waves.
"Gatsby" with bangs on straight hair
Surprisingly, the main character of the film had perfectly straight hair.
If you wear a bob or bob haircut, you can simply make a side parting and attach, on the one hand, a hairpin with a large decorative rhinestone element at the temple.
A beautiful Gatsby-style hairstyle with bangs for medium hair will turn out if you straighten the strands with an iron, divide it with a side part and tie a satin ribbon:
With the help of a tape, you need to press the strands to the head, and the bangs to the forehead. If the bangs are not long, lay the tape so that it hides the edge of the bangs. Spread the long bangs-curtain on two sides, and then fix with a tape.
Instead of waves, you can curl curls, leave them loose or collect them in a low bun:
- With the help of a headband or headband, you can turn a completely modern styling into a retro hairstyle.
- If the hair of medium length is curled with small curls, the styling will take the form of a short haircut.
- Use wooden bobbins, but first apply a generous amount of gel to the strands.
- If you do not wear bangs, you can lower the bandage or tape to the eyebrows, leaving the area of u200bu200bthe forehead above the tape bare.
The second option is to tie a ribbon along the hairline, and put it on top of the hair at the back:
If you are using an elastic bandage, try using it to lift the crown and parietal strands, creating volume at the top.

Not all ladies of the 20s decided to cut off their luxurious curls, but every girl wanted to match the fashion. Long strands were curled and collected in bunches, decorating with the same bandages and hairpins.
You can make a charming Gatsby style hairstyle for long hair with a ribbon for a Greek hairstyle, just choose the appropriate ribbon design:
- Apply styling gel to slightly damp hair
- Curl your hair on curlers of medium diameter – thermal curlers or foam rubber curlers
- Divide the finished curls with a side parting on the crown
- Put on a special ribbon for the Greek hairstyle, fixing it in front of the forehead, and in the back – on the back of the head over the entire head of hair
- Starting from the face, tuck all the strands into the tape, taking them back
- If necessary, secure the strands with hairpins or invisible
Another win-win option for taming long hair is to combine a low bun with a cold wave.
- Process the strands from the roots of the hair to the shoulders using the cold wave technique.
- Fasten the waves with stealths behind the ears so that they retain their position.
- Then collect the ends of the hair in a ponytail at the back of the head and put in a bun.
- You can twist the tourniquet and make a bun or curl the tail with a curling iron and lay the bundle in the form of curls.
- For stage performances, twister or heagami-based bundles are suitable.
- Be sure to complement the styling with a bandage or decorate the bundle itself with a brooch.
