Best HOT CURLERS/ROLLERS out on the market
I don't profess to be an expert, but I think the pink-and-lavender sets would be older ('80s to early '90s), while the pink-and-green sets are more recently manufactured. -

What and how to do with the sides of hair
(Seems she does let stylists do her up for photo shoots. Here's a behind-the-scenes vid in which she actually let the cameraman film her in hot rollers.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq0IILE8S3w -
Hotsticks styling question
They're manufactured by Conair. You might find them at Sally's with the brand name of Babyliss or Jilbere de Paris, but from what I can tell those are just subsidiaries of Conair. I once saw a set on eBay with the name LA Salon--it came with 40 sticks, which appeared to be in three different... -

any old-school housewives??
I've been a housewife for close to seven years now, and while I can't say I don't enjoy my free time, I'm really conflicted about my situation. I think of it as a phase, but after all this time perhaps it's more of a state of being. I didn't plan on it, it just sorta happened. I married a...- roots66

Show us your hair do's....
You could also try a heat-setting spray, which is basically hairspray with (supposedly) heat-protective ingredients added. Not sure which brands are available in the U.K., but I've had good luck with Matrix Biolage Thermal-Active Spray, Redken Hot Sets, and Tresemme Curl Activator. A bit of... -
Baking Soda and Hair Washing!
I've been considering trying this method. Is it OK to use on color-treated hair? -
Show us your hair do's....
Didn't you have a "burning" desire to touch the sticks and gauge their hotness? The dot on my Babyliss set doesn't change color either, but that doesn't seem to affect the unit's performance. Five to ten minutes is usually sufficient time to reach the scorching temperatures for which Hot... -
What's up with our eyeliner?
Check out some of the how-tos on youtube...they're usually listed under "winged eyeliner." They often suggest that to get the "wing" or "flick" parts symmetrical and even, you should use the upwards angle of your bottom eyelid as a guide. Hard to explain in words, but easily understood in the... -

What's up with our eyeliner?
I love the look and do it daily, but I can only ever get away with a subtle flick, and it always turns out better on my left eye than my right. The crease in my right eyelid comes down too close to the outer corner of my right eye, blocking my brush from achieving the extreme Ronnie Spector... -

Setting lotion allergy???
You just gave me an instant flashback to 1984, when I used either 7-UP or sugar water to keep my spikes pointed upward. Brushing it out at the end of the day merely created a cloud of powdered sugar...and the fallout from the spray bottle bonded to the bathroom floor, attracting about a million... -
Fashion Is Spinach
Thanks for the link! I picked up the '50s-era sequel, It's Still Spinach, at a Montreal used bookstore last year, but it's been on the "to read" pile since then...now I'll be motivated to read them in their proper sequence.- roots66

You might still have the same issue with cold cream...if anything, it's even more oily than OCM itself. -
