Practise historical hair style

So, today I was practising my historical style before my time assessment. I choose 1940's Victory rolls, I thought this look will be quite easy, but unfortunately on acrylic wig its so hard to shape the. This is my actually look from 1940's, original picture from this decade.

So, below my acrylic wig, I used the steamer to straight and smooth the hair.


The hair looks so silky and straight. First I used a plastic rollers, to get the curls. Unfortunately we can used any warm hot rollers or curly wand, this is an acrylic wig so the only way is use the steamer, very hard to rolled them, I used plastic rollers biggest, medium and small size.
I started from the top of hair, I left one rollers length and rolled them from the middle to downwards to an ears on both sides- I used medium . Unfortunately I did not take any of my pictures from original. But I took some photo when I practised on Kate head.








Definitely was quite easy to style on Kate 's head, natural hair more flexible to style then acrylic wig. I tried to do Victory rolls from 1940's . I used a curly wand to curl the hair, then using my two fingers I rolled them and pined it. If we can just use Kate's head would be much easier for us to create from 1940's style.

Like you can see everything went wrong way. I used plastic rollers and steamer to curled acrylic wig But when I styled  I have some gaps between pieces of hair, because of fake hair was so difficult to even rolled them on the fingers, the most difficult was a fringe,I really struggle with Victory rolls, easy was tom styled rest of curled hair.I f I knew it I would not curl a fringe and hair from the top of the head. I could also use some accessories to add something to acrylic wig, I forgot about it.
