Sometimes curling tongs are called “Marcel irons” due to the fact that this iconic look was created by French hairstylist Francois Marcel.

If your tongs are set on medium heat, you may need to hold them in place for up to 10 seconds.

You’ll need at one or two dozen section clips, depending on the thickness and length of your hair.

Hold the curling iron in place for a few seconds then release the clamp and remove the barrel.

Try a lace or velvet scarf, or a chiffon scarf with a floral print to complete your 1920s look. [19] X Research source
