Show us your hair do's....

[AmateisGal]

Here's one from a few weeks ago - I'm still getting used to the new, shorter length and not being able to do my standard updo. Sorry if the front view is a little sloppy - this was after I got home from a wedding, so everything had flattened out a bit. The sides are pulled up with combs and the curls arranged to hide them.

Oh, I LOVE the back, KittyT! Very, very cute!

Love your hair, and I reeeeally love your glasses!!! I wear contacts, but might wear glasses more if I had some like that

 

[KittyT]

Thanks for the compliments, ladies! I don't have much experience with hairstyles wearing my hair down, so it's nice to get some positive feedback

Thanks! They are a modern company called Neostyle and this style is College 261. They're inexpensive frames that hold up remarkably well (they have them for $100 at http://eyeglass.go-optic.com). Check out other Neostyle styles as well - they make a lot of retro styles with a subtle cat's eye shape, for those of us who don't do as well in the clunky vintage plastic frames.

Thanks! I love combs! When my hair was long enough to do an updo, I still used combs to hold it up

I set it using medium-sized plain ol sponge rollers. The top section was curled back, the rest was curled down. I'm growing my bangs out, but they're not quite long enough yet, so I pincurl those instead, standing pincurls either straight down or to the side at a 45 degree diagonal - I don't remember.

The lipstick is a newish shade called "MAC Red" (by MAC, of course). It's creamy, and feels a bit better to me than the Russian Red, though it doesn't stay on as well, so I use a sealer over it and that does the trick.

I don't know if you've come across Lisafreemontstreet on youtube but she has 2 great snood styles. Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPpcIYmMS3Q

 

[Antje]

Andouta for a simple snood style you could do a simple pomp in the front and just the snood in the back

Kitty T I'm also growing out my bangs it is terrible and I know one of these days I just want to cut them of again

 

[Mrs Cleaver]

Thanks for the info Kitty,much appreciated

 

[dementedmomma]

Complete novice to the styles of the era's so excuse my lack of knowledge

Experimenting with 60's (bouffant)

Getting my friend to recreate Brigitte Bardot (no finished product this was in the middle of it and pre brushing out)

Hair bow (don't know what era I just had a little go but loved the outcome)

i love the last one!!! do you have a tutorial on how to do that?

 

[deadpandiva]

Kitty T- I like you hair and the lipstick. is that your natural lip shape?

 

[Puzzicato]

Welcome andouta. I love the coloring in your photo.

Puzzicato. Your hair is very timeless. If you hair is naturally wavy that may be why I think so. I'd like to see a photo of your hair in a doughnut bun. They're both styles I liked in the past.

this is the doughnut - it's really hard to take pictures of your own head!

MAC Red is my favourite. I find that if I've put lipliner (I use MAC Brick) all over my lips the lipstick doesn't budge.

My hair today, just a simple pincurls set, combed trough with my fingers

 

[ohairas]

Love it Antje! Keep growin those bangs girlie, lookin good!

 

[deadpandiva]

Antje, your hair is always lovely.

 

[deadpandiva]

My hair for RetroRama. You can't see it that well because of the hat but it covers up alot of the horrible damage.

Here is My sister's hair. It came out well but I wanted to set it overnight and she wouldn't let me. This is with a curling iron. This pic also shows off the coolest tattoo in the world. IMO.

Deadpandiva, I LOVE your blouse! The colour looks smashing on you
