What is a Pinup Girl?

Pinup girls are women who's attractiveness makes them popular for photos or posters. They can be glamour models, actors and singers, or dancers. The term "pinup" first became coined in the 1940s, and the look was at its peak of popularity in the 1950s.

How to braid hair like a Pinup Girl

Here are some tips to help you braid your hair to look like pinup hair. The first is that your hair must be clear and free of any tangles. To keep your braids in place, you will have to use a hairspray that is strong-hold. Don't be scared to try different braids. There's no rule for pinup hairstyles!

Getting Started

To get started, section off your hair into three equal sections. Start by taking the outermost section, and then crossing it over the middle. Next you should cross the middle section and the section that is inside. Continue the pattern until you've reached the top of your hair. Then, fix your braid using an elastic band with a clear design. You can add a scarf or bow to the braid for the look of vintage.

Types of Braids

There are a variety of options for braiding your hairpinup. These are some of our most loved braids:

The Classic Braid: This is the most straightforward and timeless of the pinup braids. To get this look, simply braid your hair as you normally would and attach it by securing it with an elastic band.

The Fishtail Braid: This braid appears more complex than it really is! For a braid that resembles a fishtail, start by taking small pieces of hair on each side of your head, and then crossing them over the middle. Continue to tie your hair back using an elastic band until you reach the top of your hair.

The Dutch Braid The Dutch braid is similar to the fishtail braid, but instead of crossing the hair pieces over the middle, you braid them under. This makes a beautiful tight, tight braid that's perfect for pinups!

The waterfall braid: This look is achieved by braiding your hair in a classic manner. Let one section of hair fall out of the braid when you've reached the end. This will be the "waterfall". Continue braiding your hair and secure it using an elastic band.
