The style is characterized by voluminous, sausage-shaped rolls of hair styled above the ears on the side of the head or on top of the head with an open curl facing forward. Victory rolls are closely associated with pin-up models and are achieved using various backcombing, rolling, pinning, and curling techniques. The creator of the victory rolls is unknown, but several theories exist on the style's origins. The hairstyle has received a resurgence in popularity via themed parties, the swing dance scene, and fans of vintage reproduction.
