Show us your hair do's....

[Scarlet Belle]

I was lazy last night so I set my 2nd day dry hair in foam rollers. I'm really liking the subtle loose curls.

Your soft curls are lovely, Zendy! Very pretty.

thanks Mrs Beattie!
I am in fact very incorrect vintage since I'm wearing there a 30's hat with a 70's jumper for a result that looks more like 40's. I just threw it together for an evening stroll up the hill, since the sun had decided to finally come out and I couldn't wait to try on my new hat. I assure you my outfit was a far cry from overdone, quite the opposite! lol

Legend? need to look it up.

Aw, she's very pretty. I'm afraid I don't quite fit the bill.

My hair is very, very thick. I remember dyeing it as a early teen just to damage it enough to get it to behave! Anyways, I find that if I set it wet then it just won't dry (I left them in one time for 15 hours, no-go).

What I've been doing with my middy (modified, it's 14 inches) is three medium foam rollers (goody pink-colored) set at the top shortest layers, rolled away from my forehead. The rest are the smaller ones (goody green colored) rolled under allover my hair, then I brush it out against my hand and finish my bangs either over my head or style it off to the side in a kiss-curl.

This was taken Sunday afternoon (at David's Bridal, I'm getting married!):

Er, it was a strapless dress lol

How to post a picture

I've tried on another thread to post a pic and it only posts the link. How do I go about it to have the actual picture show up. I had my first try at doing fingerwaves. Turned out better than I expected

When I had long hair

Sorry for the graininess of picture.
Excited I figured this out. Thank you for help

Finished result

Everyone looks so purty! :eusa_clap


I attempted this style from 1941 I saw on the blog "Beauty is a thing of the Past"

It's a big pompadour with a bang wave. I think it works.

I don't know if anyone has posted this site before, but I found it kind of interesting on (some) stars getting their hair done

This is a pincurl set from a few days ago:

and i just cut a whole bunch of my hair off, excuse the unvintageness and the awful picture in general but I'm very excited!

It doesn't look quite as dramatic as it is, but i cut off 7 inches.

 

[deadpandiva]

aylsarose-I love your hair in the 2nd set of pictures, I wish I could do finger waves.
Sue- Your hair looks amazing as always.
Zendy- those glasses are awesome.
RockyHorror- Nice hair cut. I bet it will take vintage styles well.

Is 30s hair supposed to have layers or is that up to the individual? I'm in the last stage of growing my hair out (waiting for the shortest layer to reach the right length), but I've been practicing pin curls and I wonder if that's the reason they don't come out quite right? Most of them want to flip instead of curl when I take the bobby pins out and neither side of my head ever matches the other. lol

Alot of your success with pin curls depends on how well your hair takes a curl. If it's super straight, you may never have much luck with them. Mine is stick straight and I can not get a nice set with pin curls to save my life. I do the fingerwaves on top, then use really small curlers at the bottom. Even with a tiny curler, I usually only get a small wave in one spot on my head. I've tried to do perms, but that same spot turns out straight every time.

It's weird because it's just one side of my head that reacts that way! I think I may also be brushing them out too much. I'd never know you had trouble with your hair, though! I really liked your hair in that most recent photo you posted! Fingerwaves are another thing I need to work on. :x
