I found this picture of long hair.

I guess this is an average girl from the 40's hair-do.

This is actually a photo that my friend Josh Curtis took. This is no gal from the 40's she is from today!

Thank you for your help! I am having a hard time opeing the sydnyswingkatz page, but I will reboot my computer and see if that helps. I like the back roll with the rat, but I don't have I will have to try that. Only without the rat. I know women did it back when, but it kind of grosses me out. This coming from the girl who loves the hissing cockroach broach from another thread!

Here are two webpages that have a long hairstyles.

I just recently achieved the Veronica Lake look. And this was only after days of styling products to weigh it down. My hair is so thick that when I try to to a peek-a-boo look the waves/curls come out too poofy and give me more of a Rita Hayworth look than a Veronica Lake one. I just know that longer my hair grows the harder it is for the end curls to stay perky.

I have now found my all time favorite hairstyle! absolutely love it!!! now I gotta get my hair to do that

 

[LolitaHaze]

MysteryGal... you said your hair was long as well... I can get this look by using pillow curlers (or what I call perming rods - they aren't... that is just what I call them.) It is easier for me than pin curls. It may be an option you want to look into.

I don't know what is wrong with that link. It worked the other day when I posted it and now it doesn't work for me either.[huh]

Thank you for your help! I am having a hard time opeing the sydnyswingkatz page,!

That site is no longer, but I had printed it out years ago. I'll dig out the hair instructions for you and bring them to Orange Tree if you'd like?

I dont know if you know this or not, (cant really see how a hair rat is gross [huh] ) but a hair rat can be a synthetic roll thing you get from a beauty store, or old hair that you stuff into a peice of hosery and sewn at the ends. I have the synthetic one. It's way more stiff than using old hair.

The synthetic ones stay pinned in place much better, too.

 

[LolitaHaze]

I will have to look into the synthetic ones. Yeah, I don't know why the hair rat grosses me out. It is one of those dumb things you can't explain.
