Hi Kiton!
I looked at your link but you didn`t say "which" style you want. There are several different kinds of pin-up girl styles. You could type in 40`s hairstyles and find some that way. Wavy hair is a big plus. Try"Living Retro-Hairstyles for the Ladies", it has some great advice on styling bangs. There not much on the net about it. I just study the pictures and try to duplicate them. It takes patience but its worth the final look.
Back then, hair was almost always cut longer in the back and shorter in the front. If you don`t have bangs right now(like me) try a side part. Use some light gel on damp hair, comb it through and finger set your waves. You could use a bobby pin to give some of them form, finger wave clips from the beauty store or just use your hands. Use a low blow dryer temp for a minute or air dry. Then you could use a pretty pin to hold the other side by your temple.This is a pretty, simple everyday look.
If you want to get fancy look for hair "rats", crazy name but thats what they are called. You use them to make those beautiful rolled hairstyles the glamour girls wore in the 40`s.

Try Marci"s Retro Style web site. She has lots of good tips on doing styles from the 40s and 50s. Quite helpful.
