Up, Down and All Around
The Sleek Contour, by Lura de Gez
Woman's Day, September 1949

A sleek, shockingly becoming contour for longish hair. Slanted into high and handsome coils... by Lura de Gez.

Sleek up back hair from right side to left crown and coil clockwise into a lush spiral curl. Indent sweep of hair with two rows of hairpins as shown in sketch.

Now for the front section - set a swirling wave left of part, then slant hair towards back curl and secure with comb.

Coil tail of front hair leftwards into another fat spiral curl and nestle it a little to the left in front of back curl.

Brush out hair, gloss lightly with cream set or pomade, and comb back in place. Spiral curls should be loosened into fat poufs. Secure with combs and pins.
