And below is a step by step on how to get the these flapper looks using the VS Sassoon 19mm Ultimate Salon Curler.

 
Right Style – Simone -Finger Wave' Look using the VS Sassoon 19mm Ultimate Salon Curler.
 
1.   Section hair horizontally (2cm sections) starting from the bottom and working to the top.
2.   Using your VS Sassoon 19mm Ultimate Salon Curler, create faux finger wave curls by holding your curler vertically with the tip pointing down to the floor. Grab a small section of hair between your thumb and index finger, with your palm facing the ceiling. Turn your hand down to the floor creating a twist in the section of hair you are holding. Wrap this around the curler and bring the hair full circle.
Once back to the start position, your palm should once again be facing the ceiling. Twist hand and hair again by rotating your palm to face the floor and wrap hair around the curler again.
3.   This technique allows part of the hair to be curled in a twist and part of the hair to be curled flat which creates the finger wave effect.
4.   Repeat this technique section by section. You can do this style as close to your head as you like to get the tight finger wave look, or leave a few inches from the root of the top most layers to create a relaxed wave effect.
5.   Once all of your hair is curled, brush out with a wide toothcomb.
6.   Finally add a beautiful 20's inspired headband to finish the look.
 
Tip use a low setting as you will need to hold this curl in place a bit longer than some other curls.

7. Once curled, section hair into three parts – back and two sides.
8. Starting at the back roll hair under from the ends up towards the nape of your neck. Secure with bobby pins. Creating a faux bob.
9. Repeat this step on both side sections.
10. Add 1920s inspired head band to finish the look.

1. Straighten hair with VS Sassoon Ultimate Salon Straightener
2. Follow same steps as above to create faux bob, leaving out a small section of hair above your ear.
3. Using the VS Sassoon 38mm Instant Heat Ceramic Curler, create a large but tight curl in the sectioned piece of hair. Add strong hold hair spray to set in place on your cheek.
4. Finish entire look with strong hold hairspray.
