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.

Jenna Rosenstein is the Beauty Director at Harper's BAZAAR across both print and digital. While attending NYU, she held internships at Women’s Wear Daily, Bloomingdale’s, Harper’s BAZAAR, and Allure, the latter of which she parlayed into her first job as the Beauty Assistant. She left Allure three years later as the Senior Beauty Editor. She spent a few months at Refinery29 overseeing branded content in the same title, before finally landing back at BAZAAR to manage all beauty content. When she's not testing every lipstick known to mankind, getting zapped by new lasers, or interviewing experts and celebrities, you can find Rosenstein at home in New Jersey with her son, husband, and black cat named Maddie.
