deco_darling, your hair is lovley as usual. I am also in love with that necklace. Is it vintage?

Hello Goddess

Here's my hair:

I love it because it's so low maintenance: Once a week I wash it with shampoo only and then set it (a wet set), and that's it! All the other days I only brush it (with a bristle brush), maybe comb the front wave, and run my fingers through it. The perfect do for a lazy and old-fashioned gal!

Antje and Cherry Lips, you both look stunning!! SUPER cute!!!!

 

[Antje]

Darhling thank you I'm blushing,

Cherry lips, thank you too, I love your look also and your dog is so adorable

lelaviavonie, thank you too

chanteuseCarey, you look so cute with your hair down and styled!!

If you choose to do another beehive look, fabric works well when achieving the look, another option is long strips of cotton. Or you could do a wet set and backcomb your hair.

another vintage look for me...

Here is vintage hairstyle #3, I'm wearing one of my vintage 40s tilt hats. This is good closeup pic showing off the hat, and the vintage hairstyle is another wet roller set. He brushed the sides and upper back out a bit, then worked with the comb to get the curls shaped this time. Again, I took the hat with me to the hairdressers, the set was specifically designed to work with this hat.

not me!

You mean gorgeous redhead Antje... no beehive for me.

I'm so jealous you can set your hair just once a week! I have to do mine pretty much every day or it just disappears overnight!

I'm just lucky: I was born with wavy hair and I found a good hairdresser in my city (all her clients are elderly!) who cuts to enhance each natural wave. But you have Nina, your own magic fingers, and the hair do dreams are made of! Besides, imagine the greasy days I had to go through before my hair adapted to the once a week shampoo...*yucky*

DD's first vintage hairdo...

Here is the hairstyle the vintage hairdresser in SF did for our almost 15yo Sarah. Done with a large barrel curling iron. She has a large sweeping wave across her forehead, a long braid going up and across the front at the crown of her head, and the long back curls are caught up in a snood, done asymmetrically for an evening look. The snood is clipped with a bakelite barrette into the edge of the front curl, and tucked under the braid.

Here she is dancing E.C. Swing at the BAWMHRS dinner Sat evening 4/25, with BAWMHRS member Dave Bergman. Both Sarah's outfit and Mr. Bergman's uniform are vintage WWII.

 

[PS]

chanteuseCarey,
your DD looks beautiful! how nice to have had her hair done for the occasion!
Antje,
your hair color makes me so envious! is just beyond luscious.
Deadpandiva and Cherry, You are too cute! You make everything look so effortless.

This is WHY i joined this forum! You ladies all have such FABULOUS hair! I have done pretty much everything to my hair from braid extensions :eusa_doh: to a pixie cut i have been growing my hair out for the past 8 years. I will post pictures of it when i can, but i just cut off about 6 and a bit inches. I usually just would wear my hair in a bun on my head because there was just so much of it, it would just all fall if i even attempted to curl it! I tried last weekend when my hair was still to the middle of my back, to roll it...it was just a fuzzy mess...now that my hair is about collar bone length, i'm sure it will be WAAAAY easier to do stuff with it. I was reading online one day (maybe it was on here...) that it's easier to get the proper shape of a roll, i tried it and although it didn't look PERFECT it worked! I just used a big curling iron (2-3") when it was still cold to get the shape, then just worked the curling iron out and pinned it. I totally suggest using that technique if you're as hair impaired as me!

I think this might be considered more of a "hair-don't" on these forums

I really like it

 

[Inky]

i LOVE it! You're adorable.

And hey, this was me in 1984. I wish I had pictures of my mohawks. My zig-zag one was the best. ahh, the good old days!

 

[*martini*time*]

Best. Hair. Ever. Looks awesome on you!

 

[MissAmelina]

Atomized....that hair is rad. You look like Wendy O. Williams! (I think I just showed my age..hehe)

So I took the plunge and whacked off my hair....I got a super bad cut last time and waited a couple months to cut it again so I could bob it to my liking. Below are photos of what it looked like last fall before the bad cut, and what it looked like yesterday....I'm even making the same face. I really like it and think it will go very nicely with the dresses I've been making.

 

[cherry lips]

Very cute, MissAmelina! Bangs suit you, and I love the face!
