Thanks so much, everyone! :)

I just stumbled across this photo of Marilyn Monroe in one of her early films, Love Nest, and I love her hair, especially the s-shaped direction of her long bangs (or would you call them short layers?) in the front. Does anyone know how to create that shape? I know it's common to vintage styles...

I have a Shalimar-scented dusting powder that I use sometimes. I know Estee Lauder and Chanel make nice-looking ones scented with their classic perfumes, too.
