5 Easy Rockabilly Looks for Long Hair

Taming your mane is no easy task some days, especially if you are short on time (as we all are in the mornings!) The great thing is you’ve got beautiful, long hair and that gives you options – specifically, these 5 rockabilly looks – and so much more!

#2 Pompadour

Named after Madame de Pompadour, mistress of King Louis XV, this voluminous, elegant style was worn by Bette Davis, Betty Grable, Elvis Presley and more. Learn how to get the look with this tutorial by eHow:

#3 Pin Up Swirl

A variation on the classic victory roll style, the pin up swirl gives your neck a little breathing space without taking away from your epic sense of style. Watch Pinup Doll Ashley Marie as she walks you through the process:

#5 Rockabilly Bandana

Whichever rockabilly hairstyle you choose, don’t forget to add a bandana. Great for any occasion – use it to cover a bad hair day, add a bit of rock-and-roll to your formal attire or even wear it up to the beach to look classy in those waves.
