Show us your hair do's....

[Grant Fan]

Tatum your hair looks beautiful, and the color is lovely, just all round fabulous.
Kittyred, welcome. If you curl the sections that you are going to roll first it helps. Also I find that making my rolls a smaller around helps me keep control of my hair. Also if you put hair spray in our hair and lightly comb it through that helps too because it helps it stick together. Keep trying it takes a while the first few times it never comes out the way we hope.

Thanks everyone!

Just got done at the salon, sitting around in pin curls and a new, shorter middy. Hopefully the on the fly set my stylist gave me will be adorable and I will have pics for later!

Everyone is looking great! I love to reread this thread for inspiration on those days I'm feeling stuck in the rut. Here's a rockabilly updo I wore around the house today. More pics here http://willowhomestead.blogspot.com/2011/09/so-first-day-of-autumn-is-officially.html

todays style

Kittyred -- my hair is thin and long, too. I have yet to master rolls. Good luck to the both of us! But I think it looks nice. everyone says practice is what helps the most!

Rue -- thanks! that is just henna & cassia over my naturally strawberry-ish blonde hair.

ETA: GrantFan, lovely as always.

BoPeep -- the hair is cute, but I'm struck by your jacket/shirt! Adorable!

Zombi - I own waaay too many wool shirt jackets! lol Found it at the thrift store for $3, and no moth holes!

All you girls are such an inspiration!

thank you! recently discovered pastel nails look really nice on me despite pastel clothes washing me out totally. they're mauve with blue tips

yep, i took all my hair from the side. it is ridiculously thin, i think if i literally took ALL of my hair it would just about make a passable one without backcombing! not really an option. yep, definitely need to practice with neatness, and the positioning i think, as i find that quite hard too. thanks for the tip.

1. You look adorable
2. I find positioning hard too.
3. You could try a rat to fill it out a bit might make it easier to roll too.

Zombi it took me a year and a lot of tears to get them and I still think I could be doing them better. I think they are more natural for some people than others perhaps it just depends on the hair type as well as the aptitude.

Here's today's 'do:

 

[Tatum]

FWG, simple and gorgeous! How did you set it?

 

[fortworthgal]

Thank you, Tatum. I didn't set it at all. That's my lazy hair - just washed & air dried. My hair has a lot of natural body & wave. While it is wet I use a bobby pin to clip my bangs back and I pin the sides back over my ears, which is why I get that nice wave in the front. Then I just use a brush to form the rest into place & curl the ends under, and let it dry. The only styling products I usually put in is some Cantu shea butter. It takes about 3 hours to dry, then I sleep on it. In the morning I sometimes have to touch up the ends with a curling iron, but otherwise I'm good to go.

 

[Tatum]

Lucky girl! Mine is a total mess if I don't do anything to it. Always has been :/

Hi - firstly you ladies are all so inspiring and I've already learned so much from you - thankyou!

This is a picture of my friend Kate and I before an annual dinner last year (I'm on the left). It was one of the first attempts at pincurling I did and was done with damp hair for about 3 hrs. Kate didn't know what to do so I basically just attacked her hair with a curling iron
You'll have to forgive the photo quality - it's a mirror reflection.

Beautiful curls, and you are darling!

 

[pineapplefruitcake]

Thankyou fortworthgal ! you're very sweet

On a separate note I LOVE your jacket in your avatar !

 

[Tatum]

Ok, here we go! New middy that is challenging me. I think I need to go with bigger rollers. No pomade, hairspray, pins or other accoutrements, this is just my hair!
