How to repeat the styling of Marilyn Monroe

Puppet blonde curls have always been Marilyn’s trademark. Her image was copied in the 50s, 60s, and they do not get tired of copying now. On the anniversary of the death of the greatest actress and style icon, Wday reveals how to replicate her famous styling.

English influencer Miss Butterfly Daisy loved movies since childhood Marilyn Monroe… As she got older, the girl started her own blog and devoted it to retro style, vintage things and, of course, her idol – Monroe. In another video, Miss Butterfly Daisy described in detail how to turn into a star by repeating her styling. This hairstyle will be the perfect complement to both a light summer look and a luxurious evening look.

  1. Wash your hair, apply a medium hold styling foam to your hair.

  2. To create a hairstyle, you will need: tongs, crocodile hairpins, a comb-comb, a regular comb and varnish.

  3. Part it sideways. Select a section of the forehead and roll it around your face with tongs. To avoid damaging your hair, wind each section for no more than 10 seconds.

  4. Roll the resulting curl into a tight curl and secure with a crocodile hairpin. This will fix the curl better and retain its shape.

  5. Take the next section from the top and wind it over your face as well. Then roll into a tight curl and secure with a hairpin. Moving from the forehead to the back of the head, wind all the hair except the shortest at the neck, curl it away from the face.

  6. Let the curls cool for 10-15 minutes.

  7. Spray your hair with hairspray and remove the bobby pins.

  8. Take a regular comb and gently go through each section, combing in the direction in which it was twisted.

  9. Use a fine-toothed comb to comb through the strands at the forehead.

  10. Smooth down the loose hairs on the bangs with a regular comb.

– You can use curlers to make curls like Monroe’s without harming your hair. Sleeping on them is uncomfortable, but if you have a few hours at your disposal, you can wind slightly damp hair over them and leave them to dry completely. I prefer the large diameter Velcro rollers as they will provide the perfect root volume. This look is perfect for an evening out or a romantic date by candlelight. Just do not forget to fix the resulting hairstyle with a high durability varnish.

For inspiration, I recommend that you pay attention to the image of the model Candice Swanepoel, who reincarnated as a film star for an advertising campaign. I am also looking forward to the release of the biopic about Marilyn “Blonde”, which will be released in screens in 2021. In it, by the way, the main role will be played by Ben Affleck’s new beloved – Ana de Armas. I am sure that after seeing the picture, we will all be obsessed with curls and red lipstick.
