Show us your hair do's....

Love the bangs!!

 

[Lenore]

Y'all don't think they're too short? I'm thinking 1/4" longer and they'd be most awesome...

ASJ-is your hair naturally curly? The up do is so cute!

Thank you! My hair has a bit of a natural wave to it (unfortunately no curl), but I basically just slept on some sponge rollers the night before and brushed the result up onto my head!

I gave up on the salon because it wasn't working out. I tried to get a purple ombre twice and just nothing. So I did it myself at home, in black. I also did pin curls and while I apparently' wasn't good enough to make it actually curl anything, it did somehow make it so that my hot roller set held ALL DAY at the fair, in high humidity, which is completely unheard of. I'm feeling pretty great about the whole thing right now

I think they look wonderful. I wear mine longer too, though. I just want em to cover my whole huge forehead

Penny Dreadful, your hair looks great! Love the colours and the style is gorgeous. Pretty lipstick, too!

Very pretty, MissLaurieMarie! It really makes me wish I had longer hair so I could do something similar. I used to have a donut with a button so it could be used etiher 'round' or like a straight roll. Really nifty!

My waves are slooooowly improving. This is a shot from last week:

It's a wet set with foam rollers that I brushed out. So far that and "Lix Storm" are the only hairstyles I've managed.

i adore your hair!! now i regret not cutting my hair just a tad shorter hahahaha

Inspired by Lisa Freemont Street's 30's fake bob - and decided to pin the hair up on one side. Please keep in mind, this was taken after a looong day in the lab and I'm pants at taking pics using a mirror





This one shows a bit, how I pinned the curls

you look just amazing my dear!! i used to do somehting like this when i had long hair

Because I now ride my bike to work and need to shower when I get there (yes, hair too) I can't set it like I usually do. I've been experimenting with something simple/ob the go and here's my current favourite - a roll/wave thingy in front and then pin it back and cover with scarf (we're very informal at work during summertime). Does it look OK?

We have all these threads going about how to do this or that with your hair. . .but no final product for people to admire.
So. Show us your best vintage hairstyle re-creations and tell us how you did it.

Sometimes it's best not to say anything until it's happened. But, sticking my neck out. Next weekend, July 6th, we will be at a popular Swing-Jive weekend event known as: "Hep Cats." Also there, will be a film crew from the television company: Channel 4. My wife, in her spare time, is a retro hair stylist. The Channel 4 presenter, we don't know who that maybe yet, wants her hair styled: "40's, victory rolls." This will be filmed, and, at the same time, my wife will be interviewed. Once done, I'll put it up on YouTube for all to see. Watch this space. Or, the egg on the face if she is stood up!

Trying to channel Veronica Lake today, but pretty much failing miserably! haha I need a whole lot more hair first =D

This look was pretty much an experiment with duck bill clips and a large barrel curling iron

 

[Flicka]

That is an absolutely gorgeous colour! Is it natural?

Thank you! It is 100% natural! Although, the lighting effect is making it look a little more vibrant than it actually is : )

GHT your hair color is fantastic! What a stylish couple! I am truly and exceedingly jealous.

Don't mean to sound dense, but are you joking that the people in the pic are disgraceful because they are actually very fun and cool, or do you really think they're over the top? I love the picture and the lady who dares to have fun with her hair color and that she and the gentleman look to be having a great time and enjoying each other.
