Let's talk about the hairstyle that defined an era, lovely ones. ✨ Victory Rolls weren't just curls, they were a symbol of strength and patriotism. The name comes from the celebratory aerial maneuver fighter pilots performed after a successful mission, and women styled their hair in that same spirit of triumph and hope.

But Victory Rolls weren't just fashionable, they were practical. When millions of women stepped into factories during WWII, keeping long hair safely away from machinery became essential. These elegant rolls kept hair secure while still looking glamorous. Women could work all day with their curls pinned up, then let them down in the evening to reveal soft waves perfect for dancing.

Hollywood stars like Betty Grable and Lana Turner made the look famous, and the curls often formed a "V" shape echoing the "V for Victory" campaign. With hairpins rationed, women got creative with homemade setting lotions and resourceful techniques. Today, Victory Rolls remain a beloved tribute to the resilience and creativity of 1940s women. 💫

Janet introduced Jeanette and me to Susi at Michigan State University Library. She has been digging through historical data to help us learn more about Rosies on the farm, including MSU extension training.
