We suspect our eventual grandchildren will still be sporting glamorous 1920s-esque waves at their future holiday parties — it's a style so irrefutably chic, we don't don't see it going anywhere. Hair pro Michael Dueñas made it happen, giving our assistant beauty editor Tara a red-carpet-worthy updo that's sure to make waves this holiday.

Sure, we're all about the latest and greatest in beauty. But, there are some looks even we recognize as being truly timeless.

Just to make sure, we wanted to do our part to propel this retro 'do into the 21st century.

00:03This is a really cool modern update on a retro-do.
00:06You said uptake.
00:14Hi, I'm Michael Galengas.
00:16And I'm Tara from Refinery29.
00:18Today Michael is going to show me how to get some glam waves going.
00:22Yes, I am.
00:23Start this look by taking a deep side parting to the back of your crown.
00:27Then section off to just about your temple on the opposite side.
00:31So you're creating a triangle section on top.
00:32Clip this hair up and out of the way.
00:35Bring the rest of the hair back and secure into a low tight bun.
00:42Once you have the bun secured, bring the top section down.
00:45Take an inch thick section from your hairline all the way back to your crown.
00:49Split that in two and work with the front section first.
00:52Give the hair one twist towards your face at the root area.
00:55And using your iron, wrap the hair up and away from the face.
00:59Twisting the hair as you wrap around the iron.
01:02Once you've heated the curl up, release it off the iron and let it just hang until it's completely cool.
01:08Continue with this method all the way down until all the hair is picked up.
01:16Using a wide tooth comb, start at the bottom and work your way up brushing out each curl.
01:20Comb enough to bring them together into one solid mass.
01:24Once you have your hair combed out, secure with a bob pin.
01:27It works best to place your bob pin just behind the ear, securing the ends of the hair.
01:31Finish the look with a light holding hair spray.
01:34This will help secure your look, add sheen and keep the waves in place all day long.
01:38And this is Modern Take on a Retro Dew.
