We recently visited Wakefield College in Glasshoughton to ask some hairdressing students to help us put together a display for Castleford Forum Museum. The students were asked to choose a selection of 'beauty' objects and images from our collection - including early curling tongs and hairnets.

| The students also looked through old hairdressing books for inspiration |
The students were asked to create something of their own, to be displayed alongside the museum objects, and they chose to create a Roman hairstyle, inspired by the Roman hairpins that will be on display.

We are also really excited to announce that a group of the hairdressing students have offered come and take part on our Fabulous Forties Vintage evening at Wakefield Museum on Wednesday 6th November (5-7.30pm).
So if you like vintage style, or have ever wondered what you would look like with Victory Rolls, come along and get the look! The event is free. See previous blog post for more info!
