Show us your hair do's....

[zombi]

Rhian thanks for posting the diagram! I appreciate it -- my hair's gotten long enough now that I'm having trouble figuring out how to fuss with it.

Retromama - lovely!

Voodoo Kitten - your hair is such a lovely shade! Very rich & warm.

Darhling - your picture looks quite similar to the Marilyn one, to me! As for keeping the curls... well, curled? maybe ... did you use a setting lotion when you did it? if not, that might help!

 

[Gracie Lee]

Darhling: have you tried a pomade or light hair wax? Back in the day I had a cute short cut that I liked to make separated and "piece-y." Just a dab of pomade on the tips of your fingers, spread very thin, then pinch JUST THE ENDS, maybe the last quarter inch or so, between your lightly (can't stress this enough ) pomaded fingers, should give you nice separation without weighing you down or looking greasy. At the moment I <3 Aveda's pomades because they're water soluble and smell heavenly.

Thanks, Zombi! You are so sweet! I love everyone's looks and found so much inspiration from all of you. I admire the skill that goes into your styles!Hopefully, I will get that good someday!

andouta welcome to the Lounge! Also, I love your curl. Your hair is very pretty!

 

[andouta]

thank you lady jessica for warm welcome

 

[Puzzicato]

Andouta is that your natural eye colour? Amazing! Your hair is beautiful.

 

[Puzzicato]

this is my default, fast & dirty weekday hairdo. Either this or a doughnut bun!

 

[BoPeep]

andouta - Welcome! And your photo is beautiful!!

 

[Lillemor]

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.

Puzzicato & BoPeep & Lillemor thanx for welcome

it was very good light when we took that picture (and photographer is very good )...i think that's the reason why my blue eyes look soooo blue.

I like that there's some blue in the background and your eyes are blue and your lips and hairpiece have something red in them as well as some red in the background.

andouta-Your hair looks very shiney and healthy. I love the roll and the flowers are very pretty. Also your blouse is super cute.

That is natural wave - it won't hold a curl but it waves by itself! I'll get a picture of the doughnut bun at some point.

What do Mummies with 2.5 minutes a day to spend on their hair and makeup do each day? My little boy is 15 months and doesnt leave me much time for beautification.

I have 6 kids, getting ready is rough. Hair is rollers or pin curls wet set and some quick bobby pin work (pomps like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6cLZ9KlCH0 are easy and you can put your hair up in a ponytail if needed) and usually a flower to top it off. Make-up with little time is focused on the eyes and lips. Quick bit of tinted moisturizer, bone colored eye-shadow, liquid liner, and mascara. Top it off with some lipliner and lipstick and your set! I can usually do my whole morning routine with brushing teeth and a quick filing of my nails and some cutical oil in 10-15 minutes. Its not perfect but you look mostly put together. Morning nap time is great for perfecting things a bit if needed. If you have no time usually some tinted moisturizer, a quick swipe of mascara, and some tinted lipgloss will do. lol

6 Children !!! Hats off to you lady. I looked at the vid and its almost exactly what I have been doing
I have had my very long hair cut to just about shoulder length and its been much easier to manage. I LOVE red lips and I have a gorgeous Chanel, red, but as I dont have a job outside the home it doesnt seem worth putting it on (although I know all ladies wore their make even if they didnt work, back in the golden age).

 

[Lillemor]

I don't have six children, only three. But I still understand the lifestyle and time issues. My emphasis is on make-up and I don't care that hardly anyone else sees it. It's about how it makes me feel. Not having the wardrobe and being unwilling to prioritize authentic vintage hairstyles because my hair's condition and healthy look is a top priority with me and don't get me started on my bloody scalp, I feel the make-up and accessories are the key to achieving a vintage look anyway.

I keep some top layers and long side bangs for the rare occassion where I try to channel the bouffant with flip look. Some updos are still possible and I think it can look very stylish, classic and appropriate the way Puzzicato's hair looks.

That hair do of mine I got from this youtube tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6Wpvt47Gh0 - takes just a minute and holds with only 3 bobby pins! If you've set your hair into curls/have natural curls it'd look vintage-y-er, I think.
