Victory Rolls

As women were enrolled into the workforce and were required to wear their hair off their faces, Victory Rolls offered a style that was practical yet still feminine. Women rolled up their hair and sleeves and set off to work! Many variations on Victory Rolls were created for both casual and formal styling. This included styling more than just 2 Victory Rolls, adding a headscarf or pinning the rest of the hair up. This style was classic and versatile.

The Victory Roll hairstyle is often associated with maneuvers performed by fighter planes in World War II. The planes created an exhaust roll that remained in the sky after leaving the area and inspired many patriotic women to adopt the name in honour of the soldiers returning home.
