I stumbled across her a couple of years ago when I was looking into doing victory rolls, and I've been following her work ever since. She's from Memphis Tennessee and does wonderful WONDERFUL hair tutorials, makeup guides, product reviews, and general awesomeness on youtube. She actually does vintage from several eras, but the 40's is one of her most beloved. Some "vintage" hair and makeup mavens, while absolutely amazing if you want a general vintage or rockabilly look, don't really fuss with authenticity. LisaFreemontStreet does, and knows exactly what she's talking about. She does loads of authentic 40's hairstyles, and even has at least two videos of nothing but talking authentic 40's and WWII hair and makeup. She even explains in some hair tutorials how it would have been done THEN, vs what you can do instead with modern appliances and hair gadgets. Amazing. There's no way I can top her videos as far as authentic 1940's beauty goes, so I'm going to turn it over to her.

Some specifically applicable videos:
There are so many more! Just visit her youtube page and search "1940's" (or even "1930's" for early war hairstyles- she does those too!). I cannot stress enough how muh easier it will make it to figure out a vintage style that works for you. And remember: practice, practice, practice!
And patience.
Good luck!
