    Keratin Smoothing, Brazilian Blow-outs, etc. and Vintage Hairstyles

    If I try this, I will certainly post a follow-up. I noticed Sally Beauty here has their own version - Ion brand. None of the girls in the store could tell me much about it, but it's inexpensive. Of course realizing you often get what you pay for, I'm going to do more research. Thanks for much...

    Keratin Smoothing, Brazilian Blow-outs, etc. and Vintage Hairstyles

    I believe the OSHA warning is due to high levels of formaldehyde in the air of salons doing keratin straightening procedures, which likely contain a much higher concentration than my bathroom at home. It is still currently allowed in a variety of products up to a certain concentration level...

    Keratin Smoothing, Brazilian Blow-outs, etc. and Vintage Hairstyles

    I'm really tempted to try it because everything I've read says that sulfates strip the seal so that your hair will return to its present state sooner, therefore after a keratin treatment, the recommendation is to avoid sulfate shampoos. I'm thinking if I don't like the results, I can always...

    Keratin Smoothing, Brazilian Blow-outs, etc. and Vintage Hairstyles

    I'm curious about these new keratin treatments, also known as a Brazilian Blow-out, available to supposedly reduce curl and frizz, and increase manageability. The results last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months with gradual reduction so you don't have a line of new growth like with...

    Show us your vintage knitting and crochet!

    This looks wonderful! Kind of shocked at the price though, at least in American dollars. Maybe Santa will bring it to me. Thanks for sharing this!

    Hair brushes

    Hair Brush Quest I've got limited experience with brushes since, like you, I have very curly hair that tends to frizz at the first sign of manipulation once it's dry. But I'm coming to think that the success of a hair brush is highly subjective and individualistic to a person's hair, maybe even...

    Modern Vintage Products

    Thank you for the update. I can't imagine keeping any foundation on in FL in summer! What's the consistency of the stick like? Creamy at all? I keep imagining it will slide right off, I don't know why. How easy does it apply? I bought a round of Max Factor Pan-cake off ebay and I'm in love...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Thanks, ladies. I've just moved and recently found my hot glue gun (and then promptly packed it away somewhere, sigh). I've assumed they are always on clips, but I've seen a few YouTube videos lately where folks have just tucked their flowers in. I can't imagine them staying in that well.

    Socks

    Lady Day, do you have a resource you could share for novelty socks from the 40s? I know about the knitting movement at the time, but I haven't seen any photos of anything other than dark or light. I'm a sock knitter so I have a keen interest in this sort of thing.

    Do Ladies notice a Man's shoes?

    Oh my I love these!! I wish more shoe makers would put little touches like this on their soles. What kind of shoes are these??

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    MirandaFern, I love their lip creams too. I'm also pretty happy with Sephora's cream lip stains. I have Always Red, a bluish-red, and it dries matte too. It does stain your lips a bit but I don't buy it for that purpose. I think I still favor the NYX creams over the Sephora though.

    Love everyone's hair! So pretty. I want to ask you about your flowers though - are they glued to hair clips or barrettes of some kind? Or do you just tuck them in?

    Thanks. LOVE the avatar pic, btw.

    Do Ladies notice a Man's shoes?

    I never thought of myself as someone who paid a lot of attention to shoes until the last few years when it dawned on me while watching The Green Hornet that I do, very much. (The main character in that movie wore awesome plaid/flannel looking spectators.) I used to balk at the sayings about...

    Saddle shoes

    I like the look of the leather sole in comparison to the thicker coral rubber sole. My b&w ones have the rubber sole, and I'd like the next pair, a brown & white pair, to have a thinner silhouette on the bottom - like the leather soled. It's not so much the type of material on the bottom as it...

    Saddle shoes

    Does anyone know if Muffy's ever runs a sale? I am dying to order a pair of these brown swing saddles but the price is a bit steep for me. I'm trying to keep it under $100/60 pounds, but with leather soles. Anyone know of any other sellers who have brown and whites with leather soles that...

    They look great! As a matter of fact, I like everything in this photo. You look adorable too.

    Show us your hair do's....

    I thought you might have course hair. I could not get a wave like that unless I used very large sections of hair to wrap around the band, and even then, it might not look like ripples (my hair is fine if it wasn't obvious in the photo). And thank you about my set too - it looked better after I...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Very nice! I love the nice ripply wave you've got going on the side there. May I ask, what texture is your hair? Course or fine?
