What about us naturally curly girls?
This is very helpful, thank you. When I used them, I rolled from the bottom up, not like you've described here. I'm terrible with settings and rollers - completely missing the boat when most girls learn how to do this as a girl/teen. My friends all had straight hair and wanted curls, I had...- Clabbergirl

What about us naturally curly girls?
Vavavoom, welcome to the forums, and thank you for the great information. I have similar curls to yours. I want to know how you use velcro rollers without having a big tangled mess once your hair is dry? I tried them long ago while my hair was dry (what a knotted joke that was! It was like...- Clabbergirl

The Hair Tutorials thread
This is wonderful, Isis! Thank you for sharing the photos and the details. Really helpful, especially how you roll with a mascara tube and the set itself. I like the idea of not having a part. I will definitely try this on my next set. Your hair looks great!- Clabbergirl

What to do about freckles and blood vessels
It really depends on what kind of result you want. I would go with a moderate glycolic acid concentration (aka 25-35%) if this is the first time you've ever done one. Apply with a Q-tip for spot treatments, or a fan brush for all over your face. You won't get a real peel with this acid, but it...- Clabbergirl

A question for the red heads...
This thread is making me want to go back to red something terrible! I love red hair and I flip-flop over which shade is best, upkeep, etc. But when I see such gorgeous color it makes me forget about all of that and just WANT IT!- Clabbergirl

What to do about freckles and blood vessels
I've not heard anything about aloe vera as far as lightening properties, but it's certainly good for the skin to moisturize. I think moisture is good in any case. If you peel, you most definitely should use a high SPF - your outer layer of skin is taken off and the underneath is baby skin that...- Clabbergirl

What to do about freckles and blood vessels
I've not seen it on store shelves here either. But it's widely available online through Amazon. I've used Yavonne brand and also Skin Obsession brands with success. Small bottles but you can get 4-5 full-face peels out of one, and even more if you only use for spot treatments. I've used it on my...- Clabbergirl

What to do about freckles and blood vessels
In regards to the original post, it sounds like the 'freckles' are actually hyperpigmentation - a symptom of certain medications and/or hormonal changes. In either case, the only way to get rid of them is to lose the layer of skin they are on, and sometimes that can go quite deep. The answer...- Clabbergirl

Pin Curls and Humidity/Haze
I struggle with this myself (fine hair here too). I've found that trying to keep your hair in a super-moisturized state helps. The reason it frizzes is because it's reaching out for the moisture in the air. The theory is that if there's already enough moisture, the cuticle won't need to attempt...- Clabbergirl

A question for the red heads...
I agree with pretty much everything you've said here - my skin is similar to yours. The burgundy reds always look best on me as well, although I yearn for the bright 'fashion reds' all the time, and the oranges when I want a natural shade. That's my hesitation with burgundy reds - I've never...- Clabbergirl

A question for the red heads...
You do NOT look like a hausfrau, but I chuckled when I read it because that's exactly what I've thought of myself sometimes when I dress vintage. I start thinking I'm too fat and old to look glamorous and instead look like a grandma. It's one of those dangerous inner voices that tends to play to...- Clabbergirl

The extra time you spend getting ready because you wear vintage.
It takes me longer to prep vintage than modern because of the hair, never mind the clothing. With natural curls, I put a styling product in my hair and let it air dry straight out of the shower, not touching it again while I get dressed and do makeup (which doesn't take long at all whether...- Clabbergirl

Show us your vintage knitting and crochet!
No, no, no, it looks very cute! I haven't been able to view the boards like I want in the last couple of days. Give it time and the knitters will start crawling out of the woodwork anyway with colder weather. You can rock it. I would have to pin it to my hair, caps never stay, they eventually...- Clabbergirl

Show us your hair do's....
Your hair doesn't look damaged in the photo, but of course that can only show so much. It's a pretty style and much longer than I expected. You're not wearing a fall of any kind? I agree with the others that I'd avoid heat, especially a curling iron. It might smooth in the short term but it will...- Clabbergirl

Show us your hair do's....
You've got lovely natural curls, and I applaud your styles. I especially like how you've rolled your bangs in the above photo. I like bangs but as I'm sure you know, they're hard to wear with hair that wants to kink at the first sign of dampness in the air, or even perspiration. Very nice, and...- Clabbergirl
