The most recognisable rockabilly hairstyles are victory rolls and beehives which are beautiful – but what do you do if you have short hair? I have a fringe and my hair is cut short at the back so it can be spiked up. I do have longer hair at the side though, so I can play around a bit with this hair. If you have a similar haircut then my Marilyn Monroe style hair tutorial is just for you!

Start by shampooing your hair, but don’t condition. The hair takes better to back combing and curling if it is dry and non-silky. Blow dry your hair up and away from your face
I used my Babyliss Thermo-Ceramic Rollers. Heat them up for about 5 minutes or until the heat indicator on one of the larger rollers turns white
My hair curlers come with crocodile clips and hair pins so you have a choice in how you secure the roller
The rollers come in three sizes. I used the larges rollers on my fringe and rolled my hair up. Next use the larger rollers on the longer parts of your hair, roll up for Marilyn-bouncy hair. I also used the smallest rollers on the right side of my head where my hair is shorter. Give the heated rollers about 10 minutes in your hair.
After 10 minutes remove the curlers and brush the curls with a round brush after allowing time for your hair to cool and set. Use a little Batiste dry hair shampoo and/or a hair pastel that matches your hair tone. I used a white hair pastel and brushed it over my curls and then did a lot of scrunching to add volume to my hair.
Hair spray and you’re all set.
