I'm recently doing a play set in the 1920's and the director has asked if I can style my hair to that time period. He has even provided the funding to get it professionally done. I'm hispanic and have very tight curls (kind of like corbin bleu)

here's a pic of the type of hair i have

The director wants my hair to look this way

My question is, obviously with straightening, layering,thinning out and styling can my hair achieve this hairstyle or something very close to it. If anyone with much knowledge in hair styling could answer this for me it would be greatly appreciated
