@fiftiesdaily: During world war 2 the U.S government requested Veronica Lake to change her hairstyle to help the war effort for women working in machine factory’s. This was a issue due to women getting injury’s from their hair getting stuck in machines. Veronica obliged and soon unveiled her new look: the victory roll. It was called this for two reasons. The first was that it made a “V” when seen from the back. Secondly, it promoted choosing the country and “victory” over vanity. To help promote the look, Lake released a hair tutorial for women to follow. It soon caught on, and many workplaces saw a decrease in machinery-related incidents. #oldhollywood #scene #movies #goldenage #veronicalake #icon #war #oldhollywoodglamour #film #hairstyles #oldhollywoodstars #actress #historylovers #goldenageofhollywood #fashion #oldhollywoodglam #oldmovies #History #vintagestyle #queen #oldhollywoodactress #worldwar2 #oldhollywoodstyle #hairstyle #oldhollywoodbeauty #glamorous #40s #1940s #vstyle #oldhollywoodedit #foryoupage #fyp #education #viral
