The Victory Roll
The victory roll was the product of a haircut created by
hairstylist Ivan Anderson who created a style called the "middy"
which was essentially layers cut in such a way that they made a rounded shape, Which
lead the way to the victory roll.
Naturally the victory roll became an easy style to creature
and it also was practical as it held the fringe in place stopping the risk of
having hair getting in the way or falling in front of the wearers face. This
utilitarian hairstyle had a very fashionable look which did not sacrifice
practicality.
Victory rolls became useful during wartime when women were
shipped off into the workforce and were required to keep their hair off of
their faces. This style proved useful for this very reason, while still
maintaining a very feminine appearance. The victory roll has many variations
and was decidedly economical when it came to both casual and formal
styling.

The victory roll became popular again with its vintage pin
up style look portrayed by many Hollywood celebrities.

My preference to the contemporary victory rolls keeps a
single roll however unlike its 1940's counter part I prefer the length of the
hair to been shown as pictured below
This style of the contemporary victory with a body of the
hair on display has inspired my work.
