But how do you recreate those looks on your clients?Mad Men Hair Department Head Terrie V. Owen is responsible for the perfectly polished coif Betty Draper wears on the show, and in the following pages, she shows us how to create the look!Want more Mad Men?

Show Steps
Part the hair on the side you wish. Create small sections parallel to the part and spray with White Sands Liquid Texture Thermal Styling Spray.
Formula
Show Steps
After spraying each section with White Sands Liquid Texture Thermal Styling Spray, start curling each section toward the face with hot rollers or a 3/4-inch curling iron. Keep the curls parallel to the side part and curl the entire head.

Show Steps
Once the hair has cooled, you'll brush out curls. Terrie suggests brushing straight down with a natural bristle brush, like a Mason Pearson brush, as a plastic vent brush doesn't provide the same effect. Brush into a smooth style and push the waves into place with a little grooming crème on your fingertips, and finish with hairspray to hold in place.

Voila! Hand your client a martini; she's swingin' with retro style!
