    Show us your hair do's....

    I've got fine 3b curls and have a frizz issue. I've had success with using a pomade (Alberto VO5 hairdressing in the black/gold tube) and rolling my hair with end papers. It works with pin curls too. The papers help cut down on the frizz factor before you even get to the brush out. Hairdressing...

    Pin Curls, sorta Rolled the front and sides in pin curls last night (it took forever to get them right), and then sponge rollers on the back. I didn't do any brushing this morning though - I used my fingers to loosen the kinks and then a wooden comb and a little patience to comb it out - worked...

    Welcome Melissa. Vintage-inspired, indeed. Love it when people post photos. And LinaSofia - it looks lovely down too.

    Show us your suits

    I've been browsing this thread and while I love the clothing you boys are sporting, all I can think is 'I've never seen so many good-looking men in one place before!' Where were you guys when I was single?!! I think the hats, the braces, waistcoats, wingtips - ALL of it is wonderfully handsome...

    Rue your hair is gorgeous. Heck, YOU are gorgeous. I love the back on this latest photo - shiny and then dipping into the under-turned curl. Lovely!

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    Thank you too, Berlin. You wouldn't envy this mop if you had it day in, day out. But I sure do appreciate the compliment - very encouraging. If I can get the roller set down, I'm going back to pin curls. But I wonder if that will have a new learning curve with frizzy ends. I don't know how to...

    Crimpers / Wavers?

    My daughter got one for Christmas that has 3 barrels - it works pretty well and it's a cheap one. You have to crimp in sections down the length of the hair of course, but it's the same for a flat iron or other heat appliance. Using it on her hair, it produced a nice wave, but not so much a 30s...

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    Thank you - I'm trying to learn what my hair can take and what it can't. Brushing is something it can't take for long without frizzing. There's a brushing sweet spot somewhere in between taking the rollers out and a final blast of hair spray. If I can learn where it is, this will be easier. I...

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    Thanks again I decided to wear my hair natural for a few days after this post. I just let it air dry and form its natural curls after my shower those days, and the break may have helped. My next attempt at a set turned out like this: I took several shots in different lighting to try...

    Tenuki, thanks for the encouragement. I will have to consider parting my hair on the opposite side to see if that works better with curling the bang area. I don't know if the rest of my hair will cooperate, as I have tried the opposite part when wearing my curls natural and it's unnerving to me...

    Ok yes, I've done barrel curls also with the same results.

    Elderly Reactions To Vintage

    This is a very interesting thread. That is a nice thing to see - your bringing up a good memory for someone. I haven't had any remarks from the elderly when I attempt to style vintage, but as I'm reading this forum and learning more about it, I keep remembering my grandmothers' remarks in...

    Standing pin curls - yes. Barrel curls...er, not even sure what that is so I haven't done that. I'll google it now.

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    Thank you, MissHawthorne. I am about to give up on the whole idea of this kind of hairstyle, I am that frustrated. Not solely because of this, there are other problems I can't seem to figure out, but this has been the most maddening because it's in the front and I see it with every glance in the...

    Sharpening eye pencils

    I'm not sure I understand how to answer this, but I will try. It depends on the pencil and the sharpener, as far as my experience has shown me. Softer pencils being harder to get a sharp point on, of course. And you'll always shred a good bit of product, more than I ever want to admit, to get...

    Cute, LolitaHaze! Very cute. Your group looks like they stepped right out of the 60s. Did you get noticed?

    Henna hair dying

    I have left the henna on overnight also with good results. Cling wrap is the key there - it's like a mud mask treatment for your hair!

    Pin curls and bangs Last night I too great car to do a wet pin curl set, and for as much time as it took me, I'm not seeing the payoff. I get just as much curl with sponge or pillow rollers. Come to think of it, I get the same curl no matter what I do - even with a curling iron. The only...

    Henna hair dying

    I used henna on my hair several years ago, kept it going for about a year, and was happy with the color and the condition of my hair as a result. The down side for me was that after several months (and several applications because of new growth) my hair began to straighten. I have very fine...
