Victory Rolls are a classic 1940s hairstyle. This season we are loving this pretty style! Katie is here to teach you how to get this timeless look…
1. Separate hair down the middle forming two sections (as if you were doing pigtails). Starting on one side of your head, take a section at the top and back-comb it from behind and then use a brush to smooth out the front. 2. Wrap the end of the section around two fingers and begin rolling in toward the scalp. 3. Roll all the way to the scalp and pin in place with bobby pins. 4-6. Repeat on the other side. You can leave the back of your hair down (like the photos above) or pull it up. 7. Take a remaining section of hair on one side, and starting at the end again wrap around one finger and begin rolling in toward the scalp. You want to roll this section tighter because there is more hair. 8. Pin in place until completely secure. Repeat on the other side.
Tips: Wetting the ends of your hair a bit will help keep the control of it while rolling. You can add a scarf to complete this look whether you wear it up or down.
We hope you have fun trying this pretty styling! Experiment with proportions for different looks. Thanks so much, Katie! XO. elsie

I need to try my hair like this! I’d always wondered how it was done, and had assumed it would just be too complicated but it seems not!
Wonderful, it’s smart, but with tons of personality!

So pretty! Can’t wait to do this once I trim this mane of hair.
Thank you! I’ve been trying to figure out how to style these!

I’ve been looking for the last 3 weeks for a good victory rolls tutorial. Katie, once again, thanks for this!
Question: I need a brush like this, the one that can teeze the hair I mean. Where did you get yours?

Oh goodness! Elsie, I have been so inspired by your blog and all your lovely diys. I check it daily and Clip knows that if I am squeeling while on the computer, I am on your site, etsy, or modcloth. I was reading past wedding goodies and saw that you enjoyed dinner at Nona’s and had to keep reading. Little did I know that the shop that Clip shuffles me past in speedy fashion, was Red Velvet. Tomorrow I am going to be there squeeling all over your shop. Sooo excited!
Maybe do it while wearing victory rolls.
Sigh… I got so excited that I forgot how to spell squeal.
Aces! I have been getting a little bit bored with y plaits and ribbons, this could be just the trick and is great cos you can do it with lotsv lenghts and types of hair, thank you xxxx
I soooo love your hair color. I used to have my hair exactly like that, but it didn’t look so good on me. 🙂 :jealous:
And this style is so pretty!
i’ve always wanted to do this with my hair, but i don’t know if it can be accomplished… i’ve never been that great with styling. it looks great on katie though! x
So gorgeous. I love old fashioned hairstyles, they were so elegant and ladylike xx

I love this – it’s definitely something to try ASAP! Thank for the hair inspiration <3!
Haha my boyfriend was staring at me like I’d gone crazy and finally asked me what I was doing while we were watching Star Trek last night. I kept trying your technique, but my hair is still a good two inches (at least!) too short. He agreed with me, though, the rolls looks amazing. Thanks for sharing!
ahhh! i love it so much! <3

Sorry, but the actual rolling isn’t very well explained, i’ve been trying for half an hour and can’t get it. I’m normally quite good with tutorial hairstyling but can’t get my head around this one.
Super cute. I’ve been wanting to try that style for a while. Thanks.
