Victory rolls aka liberty rolls was a popular style demonstrating patriotism in the 1940s. They were also the hairstyle of choice for many of the women going to work during World War II because it keeps hair off the face in an ultra feminine way. Today, victory rolls are a cool hairstyle for anyone who loves retro glam. They are frequently worn without bangs but if you have them, try this vintage curled fringe.
Starlets like Rita Hayworth frequently wore their victory rolls with the rest of hair in soft pin curls. This fun look takes a cue from old Hollywood with a half up hairstyle that gets extra impact from bold red hair.
Liberty rolls were originally inspired by the loop of exhaust left behind by dynamic fighter plane maneuvers. Other retro updo hairstyles incorporate the swooping rolls in creative ways, like this asymmetrical look above. The back is tied with an adorable anchor scarf but any vintage pattern you like will work, especially polka dots.
