First thing I ever learned how to do was kitten ears, they are very simple and all you need is hairspray and a few bobby pins.... think I originallt found a video for it on youtube, after that I would just play with my hair when I had free time until one day after probably a year it finally clicked and victory rolls became very easy, I looked at alof of pictures of simple house wife hair styles of the 1950s and early 1960s and would play with my hair till I got the look. Just keep playing with your hair!

I tried hot rollers, pin curls, curling iron - nothing worked for me - finally I used my hair straightener to curl my hair.  I then pinned each ringlet up with a pin curl clip to "set" - once they were all cool (usually after I applied my make up) I sprayed then and took them down.  I just lightly brush them and I end up with kind of Betty Draper hair.  Here is a pic:

I definitely agree, a fully curled head of hair is the easiest place to start. :)

It might sound gross but "dirty" or day old hair works the best for me. I also use on my wet hair " Big Hair, volume finishing cream" by Charles Worthington. My curls will last for days. Try a wet set. You have to make sure that its completely dry before you take the rollers out. Otherwise it will just be a waist of time. If you do a curling iron. Pin your curls Asap. let them completely cool. 

Hope this was a little helpful

Thanks Nanette! That actually is good advice about the dirty hair, I have heard it before too, but I admit that sometimes (most of the time actually) before I try to do my hair in a pinup style I forget this advice and go and wash it before hand :(

I`ve got to stop doing that :) Thanks for the tips!

Use a texturising spray or dry shampoo to give your hair some texture before you try to do victory rolls or other complez hairstyles, it makes a world of difference.
