They must have had a lot of free time back when Old Hollywood was still Young Hollywood. Because if you've ever attempted to create those iconic, vintage-inspired waves on your own, you know that it's not a style you can exactly rush through. Hair this polished requires patience, skill, or a hairstylist on-call. Which is why we're so pumped that celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel, who tends to the hair of Rooney Mara, Kristen Stewart, and Anne Hathaway, put together this video tutorial showing off his easiest tricks for crafting Old Hollywood waves.

You'll still need patience (each curl need to completely cool—we mean it), but it's never been so easy to understand exactly how you need to part, section, curl, and brush your hair. Abergel's best takeaway tip? Spritz hairspray on the bristles of a paddle brush, then work it through each curl. Check out the video below to watch his expert technique from start-to-finish.
