Show us your hair do's....
Thanks! Short hair has pretty much changed my life. If I could get that wave in my hair every day I'd be a happy girl. Wish I could manage the curls on the bottom a bit better, but I had been out in the wind that day... and I'm still a novice!- theplaiddress

The Library
I have the pleasure of living near this beauty, the main reading room at the Library of Congress: And, yes, it is open to the public. Anyone over the age of 16 can get a registration card and do research in the LoC. I never do proper research, though, I just hide away under the dome and...- theplaiddress

Show us your hair do's....
latest pincurl attempt I'm a relative newbie at this whole vintage hairstyling thing. I've always generally focused on the clothes and a little bit on the makeup, but I never even used to brush my hair, let alone style it!

As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .
Great tips, ladies! I'm going to hit up a nearby beauty store on the way to dinner tonight, I think, and see if I can get me a nice new bristle brush and some setting lotion. I'll probably try another pincurl set Sunday night ;)- theplaiddress

As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .
Alright, here's my first pincurl attempt. Turned out poufier and frizzier than I'd hoped, but I'm quite satisfied considering I've never done this before and I'm usually all thumbs when it comes to styling. I think the puffiness can be remedied by picking up a bristle brush and using that...- theplaiddress

My first try! So, I'd been trying some retro styles with my old long, long hair, but it was just too much to work with, so I quit. But then I chopped off about 8 inches two weeks ago, and figured I'd give it a shot and I'm surprisingly happy with my first real attempt. I used some Conair hot...- theplaiddress
