The Style
How can you pay homage to Marilyns curled bob without looking costumey?
Its all in how you set and curl your hair.
The most accurate way to achieve this is with a pin curl set or hot rollers.
Creating your Marilyn Monroe curled bob takes both practice and patience.
I recommend experimenting and manipulating your hair to see what looks best, says Fitzgerald.
Youre going to want to verify you really run your fingers through it.
Brushing out curls can also help them take a more natural shape.
My best advice is to simply shape the hair the way you like it, says Fitzgerald.
The more you brush, the more the curls will relax.
Shaking out your hair or using your fingers can give the curls a more modern, undone vibe.
Once youre happy with the look, seal it in place (but dont shellac it!)
This hairspray will ensure that the look stays all night, but your curls keep that sexy Marilyn motion.
