***whinge alert***

Hmph, my hair looks rubbish. Thats a side effect of being miserable, too much drinking to avoid thinking = no energy to do hair etc.

Have just realised I'm going out tonight too so am going to have to hope the hotsticks work. Though they never have before.

grumble, grumble.

Upsweep Tutorial

I did a tutorial last night about the upsweep as requested. ;) ..

These are the things I use, ratail comb to section; combs for side; large barrette for back

as you can see-- its a terrible old cruddy set..goes easier with a nice set, but its a FORGIVING style
That being said, some set is necessary to give the hair grip. This wouldn't work on fressly washed, or
unset hair

section off the front ear to ear

pull back the rest of the hair

turn upside down and brush forward toward top of head

use large barette to secure on top of head

use combs to pull sides up high

Tutorial Part 2

start shaping curls by hand on top and pin down. If you have a nice set this part is easier!

If you are having trouble turning the curls nicely by hand, use a cold curling iron to roll them,
then gently slip off and pin in place

I usually use the curling iron technique in the front since it gives nice uniform rolls

Add a flower and voila!

After this spray the back with hairspray and smooth your hand over it from nape to crown; use
hairspray to smooth out any wispies

Wow, Honey Doll, you make that look so EASY! It really looks awesome. I'm going to have to try that, I hope my hair still has enough length!

Thanks for posting the tutorial, it's so wonderful that everyone shares their knowledge!

Does anyone have some good hair ideas for VERY fine/thin hair?
I've lost a lot of hair. No bald spots, but my hair is so thin and there's not a lot of it.
I want to be able to do some retro hair-do's anyway.
Help?

Hi Tinseltown, I understand where you are coming from as I lost a lot of hair myself some years back now due to stress and some of it never came back :(

Why not try making yourself some hair rats? You can give yourself a head start by using some snipped up stockings to stuff them with. They can really give a classy up do some ooomph! You can even use them in a snood to help fill it out a little.

Experiment a bit, I'm sure that you'll look gorgeous!

I got my hair cut today.

This is what it was:

This is what I got:

This is what I wanted:

It's the same cut, only shorter. Admittedly it's my fault it's so short, the lady cut it the length I asked her to, I think the first time the guy cut it too long. Which really wasn't too long, as I like it that length, but too long from the diagram I showed him. It only means that I have that much longer to have it until it gets too long to curl right and I have to have it cut.

Give me a chance to curl it again and I think I'll like it. :)

Here's the diagram I took in:

I think it looks great a bit shorter,
It's amazing how it seems to make you look younger & fresher ?
You look beautiful !! :eusa_clap

First ever go at curling my hair! My camera is sick at the moment, so no pre-event close-up pics.

I was trying to go for a style like Stephy Wilecat's (you look awesome, btw!) for a ball, but the curls wilted into waves by the end of the night, no thanks to a patch of rain on my way to the venue :eusa_doh:

Otherwise, I was happy that there was any result in the first place. Next time there'll be a higher setting on the curling iron, far more hairspray... and I won't forget my umbrella when I step out the door!
