shortclara- you hair is absolutely tremendous and i'm so very jealous. i love love love your wave right over your forehead. exactly what i'm aiming for at the moment. :eusa_clap

I don't do wet sets, so the wave is just a curling iron curl under and brushed to the side. My bangs are at eyebrow length.

Thanks everyone! :)
 
O yous all so pretty! I love the hair Shooshoo & Shortclara (I also love the top you have on in that pic, top/dress...yes...!!!!)

Well last night, being as the man was ill and I had no reason to look nice, I thought I'd try my first proper set; I slept in this;

lol terribly neat I know, I sat in front of the tv playing with it. I got carried away as I originally intended to just wave the right (heavier) side. The bottom/back is not quite long enough to set in rollers yet.

I was surprised it wasn't too bad to sleep in either, some strategic placing of arms was needed but it was ok, surprising as I'm usually such an awful sleeper. Perhaps I just don't notice lack of sleep any more.

After some combing, bribery & tong-ing I managed this;

Alas, I didn't have a good pic of the right side this morning, and the rain made it frizz a little;

The curls at the bottom were much neater when I left the house this morning. Bloomin' weather lol

Oh, how self indulgent is this post?

I was happy with my hair today, though in future I shall probably just leave the back until it's a bit longer. Yes.

The end

I used my new remmington heated rollers today and got a great result:

It didn't last though - I was down to soft waves by the end of the day - any tips?

What kind of product did you use? When I used to use these rollers a lot, I only ever used Brylcreem and Royal Crown. It used to hold for a minimum of 3 days! The only conclusion I can come to is I am pretty sure my hair was majorly thinned out and I had layers. So maybe it wasn't so heavy. Now when I use the rollers, they fall out to waves by the end of the day.

You could try using a "working" spray, and spray the section, then roll it up. That should help some.



It Looks GREAT!!!:eusa_clap

BoomBeBe: I love those little mini pomps!! I sue them regularly to keep my bangs out of my face and ponytail. The hubbs loves when I do that.

DollyDayDream, Wow, you slept in the clamps? You're a brave girl!;) Serious waves indeed!:D I like the curls in the back, I think they are cute!

TexasGirl, you really do a lovely job with your hair. And I am contiually jealous of your long lashes:D

share your talents!

Hello ladies! You are all so skillful with your hair, sometimes it's almost scary! Please take a look at my beauty thread "lucille bremer or the bump", if you haven't already. I'm hoping that one of you pros has nailed the do.

Pink Dahlia, your hair looks super cute! I'm pretty jealous! Anytime I try an up-do on myself it just looks like a bird's nest.
