Mirror/Mirror gives the latest fashion tips and beauty secrets.

Hairstylist David Armendariz says it's easy to have a modern style that fits your personality and incorporates elements from the past.

Late '50s Sophia Loren look:

• Section the hair across the top of your head from ear to ear. Then, make another section near the nape of the neck.
• Divide those sections into smaller sections.
• Grab a section, spray with hairspray, curl with a large barreled curling iron, release and re-roll with a Velcro roller to cool.
• Do this to the back sections, then move on to the top sections. Use the same process, but use smaller Velcro rollers for the top.
• Let the rollers set or use a hairdryer on the low setting and cool temperature to set the hair.
• Remove the rollers being careful to keep a spiral curl in the hair.
• Flip your head over and shake out the curls.
• Tease the top, tame fly-aways, finish with hairspray.

Early '60s Modern Beehive:

• Tease, tease, tease all the hair at the crown.
• Spray the teased hair with hairspray (it will be very big!).
• Next, tease the sides. Take diagonal sections and tease the hair forward so it can be pulled back with volume.
• Lightly smooth out the top layer of hair.
• Grab the top section of hair, gather it, twist it and push it forward and pin it with two bobby pins (criss-crossed).
• Pull one side back, cross it over the back and pin it. Then, pull the opposite side back, cross it over and pin it.
• Use a teasing comb to lift flat areas and comb down hairs that are sticking out.
• Finish with hairspray.

Late '60s Mad Men Style:
(This style works best if you have a very short/pixie cut.)

• Start with towel-dried hair.
• Apply a good amount of styling gel to the entire head and focus on making a dramatic part.
• Set the gel with a hairdryer on a low setting.
• Apply pomade to seal the slicked-down style.
• Add red lipstick to make the masculine hairstyle more feminine and dramatic.

Early '70s Messy Braid:

• Start by spraying texturizing spray onto dry hair and scrunching a little.
• Part your hair and sweep it to the side where you want your braid.
• Twist the hair at the nape of your neck toward your soon-to-be braid.
• Then, braid your hair over the front of your shoulder in any style you wish (classic, fishtail, etc.)
• Cover the rubber band at the end with a piece of hair and pin it in place.
• Mess up the braid a bit by pulling pieces out.
• Spray with hairspray to finish.
