    White hair stripped bare!

    Ok so it's a duplicate of 2, but Reese Witherspoon's hair in Water for Elephants is nearly white...and I LOVE the style.

    Naturally curly hair

    The link posted here takes me to a thread about charm bracelets. My question is similar to the original one, except that I'm wondering if there's a way to tame my natural curl into waves without setting them on rollers. I have the natural curls already - just need to coax them in the right...

    A question for the red heads...

    Your hair color is BEAUTIFUL! I put blue-red streaks in my hair once (like blonde highlighting only in red) and my stylist used Joico. It was the most vibrant and gorgeous red I've ever used - not even comparable to out-of-a-box drugstore color. I found that it faded pretty quickly though, just...

    Coty Cosmetics!

    It's still available in-store in Walgreens in TN. Not sure if that's a regional thing or what...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Whitening the skin is usually done with hydroquinone, a topical chemical that is put into almost all 'whitening' products at a 2% strength. It is available on its own at 4% (the strength that truly shows results) by Rx in the US., although Canada and most of Europe can buy it over the counter in...

    Finding the time for hair setting

    I don't find the time on most nights, even weeks. I have to plan for it, so I understand your question! I've got teenagers so that makes it easier but I'm a single mom who works and attends school, both full-time. It gets quicker though. If you incorporate it into your evening routine, I'd...

    Dry vs. Wet Pin Curl Sets

    Wet sets tend to have better holding power and curl definition because of the structure of hair itself. The reason being when wet, bonding agents in the hair strand are broken up. Rolling, braiding, etc. the wet hair does nothing to the bonds - but once it is dry the bonds will reform into...

    This is so cute. I LOVE the little curl there on your forehead. Wish I could get something like that with that much body at the root too! And your skin looks like porcelain. Lovely.

    Old Hollywood Stars: Before and After

    Love this! Thank you for posting. Even back in the day, you couldn't trust that what you see is what you get. :)

    I'd like some help with this too as I'm having the same issues. I can't get a nice smooth style in the back - it turns into separated, thick ringlets.

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

    Can't wait to see. I'm very interested in rag rolling. I'd like to find some type of finished set comparison on rag rolls vs. sponge vs. pin curls, etc. Maybe one of these great video bloggers will do this? Hint, hint...

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

    Tatum, do you have a cow lick that you might be working with or against? I've just realized my problems might be the cow lick I've got on the right side of my hairline. I've resisted parting with the cow lick because it's unnatural feeling to me having had my hair on the other side so long! But...

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

    Not getting the hang of pin curls I did a pin curl set last night and am unhappy with the results this morning. :( On the one hand, I managed to control frizz pretty well (used end papers). On the other hand, I hate how the curls lay. I've watched video after video on YouTube that say roll your...

    The Middy Thread

    Thanks for posting this, crwritt. I took the Tierney book to my stylist. She's about 25 but she used the diagrams with no problem. She said that's how instructions are given out for hair industry shows and such when being told to demonstrate a particular cut or style. One unexpected thing I've...

    Old Hollywood Stars: Before and After

    Thanks for much for starting this thread. I have enjoyed looking at all the stars and even learned a few things (I had no idea about Rita Hayworth's transformation). I'd never even thought of Laurence Olivier as a young man, let alone see a photo of him either. Awesome!

    What motivates you to do your beauty everyday? Lately I cant find any motivation!

    I can't find any either... I find that my motivation to go through the vintage routine is directly related to how much time I have in my life. I feel good about me whether my outside is polished or not. Confidence is about my being capable, not my ability to look like society wants me to. When...

    It's lovely! Your skin is like porcelain in this too. Very pretty.

    Penny Dreadful I love your waves! It makes me even more anxious for my hair to grow some.

    How to get pale, luminous skin?

    I haven't seen Star Gazer products in the U.S., but I have found a similar liquid product in Kryolan makeup. It's a theatrical makeup company with less expensive and better quality products than some of the high-dollar brands.

    And thankfully, a forum about vintage beauty, not spelling.
