How to Style Your Hair Like Veronica Lake
The Veronica is hot hairstyle right now. It is inspired by the 1940s starlet Veronica Lake. Its main characteristics are cascading waves and deep side partings.
The Veronica dominated Gucci, Valentino and Roberto Cavalli autumn/winter 2007 fashion shows.
Here is how to do the Veronica at home:
- Use a shampoo that gives hair sheen, but won’t weigh it down.
- Apply a protective styling product. Avoid traditional setting lotions.
- Dry your hair with a hairdryer until it is almost completely dry.
- Part the hair in a deep side parting. This creates Veronica Lake’s over-one-eye curl.
- Use a wide-barreled heated tong to curl small sections of hair. Begin at the top of the head and work through to the mid layers and underneath. You should not curl the hair under.
- Place the tong on top of the hair strands close to the root and wrap the hair diagonally; do not wind it straight. As a result, you will get a wave rather than a dodgy party curl. Remove the tong, keeping the wound-up hair together and pin close to the head with a small clip.
- Once you have finished the whole head, and the hair is cool, remove the clips. Use your fingertips to tease the curls into looser waves. Spritz with hairspray.
