today's hair
I'm pretty new to this. My hair is very straight but I have a lot of curler experience as my mom used curlers every nite. I think my best bet is a Veronica Lake style-she was my vintage inspiration as a child. I need to grow another 6 inches and dye it blonde of course!
The other side is poodle hair. Just wanted to show everyone I'm making an effort!

This is my hair today.
The first pictures two are before I really set it (and before makeup, sorry!), I had only brushed it a little. I forgot to take a picture of my head before I brushed, I will do that the next time because I want you to see how awful it looks before it is brushed.
Anyway, the first two pictures are a little brushed, the last pictures are of it set, I put it up in a pony tail and tried to do faux bangs, but it turned out as something kinda different and right now it is Betty Grable bangs, so it is a very versatile set, but if you want very sharp-cut faux bangs, be more careful when you set the sides, if you have some short hairs anywhere, then make them go away from your bangs because your hair needs to be at least 4 or 5 inches to get nice faux bangs, imo.

My boyfriend set the pins like this:
- Top front section is set with 4x3 (4 vertical, 3 horizontal...) rows all standing and going forward.
- The sides were set in 3x3 rows, left side going counter-clockwise and right clockwise, so both go backwards.
- Back was set in the neck only, so the top was flat, since I was going to put it up in a pony anyway. So there were 4 rows horizontally and just divided in the middle so the left side goes counter-clockwise and right clockwise, just like the sides. Looks aprox. like this.

Everyone looks so good! Speaking of redheads, I went from a redhead back to a brunette last night. Here are a couple of pictures.

Antje. I love your curls too. Could you please post a picture of how you place the flexible perm rods in your hair?! And how do you brush them to look so perfect?

Your color looks fab! I think it could be hypnotic red, it looks a lot like it.
