Here's my hair from my hair trial for my wedding, which is less than 2 weeks away. This is sans birdcage veil and flower, but I'll post pics after the wedding.








I love it, the whole wedding is sort of 1940's inspired.

Jean Harlow Hair

So yesterday I knew I was going to do a shoot today, but I didn't have any particular style I wanted planned out, so when I set my hair, I just did a random set and figured what happens happens. So when I took the set out and started to brush, I thought it reminded me a bit of Jean Harlow. Now I know I don't look like Harlow, but I thought the hair was similar... maybe... kinda...?

Please note that these photos have NOT been color corrected so they have a bit of a cool tone to them. Also, since the full versions are NOT Fedora Lounge Friendly, I did crop them in to show just the hair.

A couple side views:

Sorry there is no tutorial... It was a random set so I wasn't sure what I would get.

I sat up late last evening and looked through the thread.:eek: It's really fun and I suppose comforting to see improvements along the way.

TheSwingingBee, that's so brave of you and I'm sure it'll look beautiful. Post pictures of the final updo!:)

LolitaHaze and Smutterella, beautiful as usual. Before I gave up and cut the layers and U-shape out I was finally beginning to feel confident in my results but I wasn't quite happy with the finished look. I wonder if hair color makes a difference? Do very brushed styles look better in lighter hair colors? I thought my sets looked best before I brushed them too much.

Bee - your hair trial looks great and i can't wait to see your wedding pics! Best wishes for a wonderful day and life together!

Lolita - as always, luscious! I think that style suits you very much!

Lillimor - i just think in the pictures you can see results because the hair is lighter, but darker hair looks just as lovely no matter how it is styled. There is a great depth in dark hair that light hair doesn't have. That being said, I always wanted to be a blonde for a while ;)

Thanks to Fleur and her new faux bang tutorial, I was able to make a decent faux bang.

I had to make my own hair rat as you can't bobby pin into the foam type that I found locally. I will need to get some fake red hair to do another rat, this one didn't turn out as u-shaped as I would have liked, but It was very easy to do and and a fun way to do my hair.

Your hair always looks great! I'm so jealous! You're such a lovely lady. :)

I'm so useless with this stuff. I can't figure out how to do these lovely styles on myself! even after watching tutorials.. and the pictures with squiggly lines all over the hair means nothing to me, I wish I had someone to show me in person!

Inky, I love this, I'm going to use the same tutorial for faux bangs. I'm getting the rat tonight after work hopefully. Also, I love the red, I'm thinking of going that red again after the wedding. Didn't want to damage the ends of my hair as I've been trying to grow it out for a year and didn't want to have to cut off any additional length.

I hear you! I have had pics taken of several of my roller sets, hoping that someday I can have my husband or our teenage daughter do them for me. For now- I hire the hairdo out! I found a great vintage stylist in SF who will do what I ask for so he gets my checks!
