    Vintage styles for short hair

    I guess it must be the season..because today I went in for a "trim" and came out with a super short do!:) It's a pixie (again). Actually for the warmer weather it suits me better, but after months of pincurling and actually having hair to brush, it is taking me a while to get used to my own...

    Setting Lotion

    My aunt used flat beer as a setting lotion for 50 years! I honestly don't remember how it smelled, but since she was a housewife and didn't go out much during the day, it didn't matter too much. I will say that she had the most beautiful hair and looked like a cross between Betty Grable and...

    Very Cute 'do Kim!:) Sponge rollers come in sizes from exta small to extra large. Usually they are color coded. The direction you roll has alot to do with what the curl will look like too. You can keep the rollers in your hair instead of on your pillow :) overnight if you put a wave...

    Besame cosmetics

    I absolutely agree! I stopped buying their full sized lipstick and shadows and have been using the samples. They have always been very generous. There was only one time that I ordered a lipstick sample and there was just a tiny little dab, another time a lipstick sample I got was full...

    Should I straighten my hair before pin curling?

    I have used both the pin curl (double prong) clips and bobbie pins. I like the clips best because they have the spring and are easier to open when you are holding the pin curl in place. They are faster too, because you use just one instead of two bobbie pins.:) :)
