Show us your hair do's....

[fortworthgal]

Everyone looks great!

Clabbergirl - I know exactly what you mean. I don't have a daughter, but sometimes my own insecurities get the better of me, or I'll see someone looking very modern and trendy, and it causes me to second guess myself. So I understand your feelings very well.

Rue, you're always lovely, and your eyebrows are perfect!

Yes me too, i have been a bit down in the frumps lately, one hair disaster after another, the usual kind of thing, i just get days when i think perhaps i should just get a nice bob and dress like everyone else. But i soon snap out of it. You are not alone.

Rue - Beautiful as ever. I thought we hadn't seen much of Vivien lately, here she is, alive and well. I also have FWG's eyebrow envy.

 

[rue]

You two are so sweet.... thank you!!

I've felt like that too Miss S. Some days I get so many weird looks that I think about it, but then I snap out of it and curl my hair and feel much better

Ladies, you look fabulous as usual! SheBear, I love your bangs and esp. your rolls
(do you still call them Victory rolls when they're on top of your head instead of on the sides?)!

The other day, I tried standing pin curls for the first time. I expected it to come out real bad because I thought the curls'd get all crushed when sleeping on them. But the result wasn't half as bad as I had expected.

Although I think it's not too bad, I still like the flat pin curls better.

wahine, darn if I don't see a bit of Gene Tierney in you:

rue,

They are looking because you're so pretty.

 

[rue]

You are so sweet to say that..... Thank you.... I needed it

 

[Antje]

[rue]

Antje! So nice to see you here again

 

[Juliet]

Amy Jeanne - that's lovely!

Isis - I adore that soft look your hair has.

Retro_GI_Jane - I do believe, I mentioned how much I look forward to your posts? You never disappoint! Love the back! (and the front, and the top )

SheBear74 - oh, those are mighty fine rolls!

wahine - Lovely. I lake the back, mine never turns out this wavy.

Rue - I could gush on for a long time . You look drop-dead gorgeous!

Oh, don't you dare! Don't forget - you're an inspiration!

 

[Antje]

Thank you Rue, I always get back here and then forget to post for a while but then always come back

 

[rue]

^ Good! Because you're missed when you're gone


Juliet... I think you need your eyes checked! lol But thank you

 

[wahine]

Thanks for all your kind words, ladies!

Rue, you look marvelous! your hair is just.. well, words fail me.

 

[Juliet]

Rue - Nah, I'm wearing contacts. It's all you!

 

[SheBear74]

Rue, you looke beautiful as always!
Wahine, love the curls!

I think I have the opposite problem. lol I don't get insecure I actually forget that my hair and style look the way they do. I had decided when I started doing the retro look that I was tired of not doing what I wanted. For the most part though the response has been very positive. Well except for a couple of young boys who I noticed kind of laughing when looking my way today. However one could have just told a fart joke for all I know. lol I am always stoked when the girls at my son's high school ask me how to do rolls.

 

[rue]

Thank you girls.... you're very sweet and much too kind

I had to share my weekend hair and gives thanks to the glorious Sibyl, my hairstylist. She's been willing to give me the Middie cut and helps with technique and styling when I get stuck and need some in-person help. Also, I just love sitting under the dryer at the shop, reading trashy mags. I feel so vintage girly! Anyway I knew Sibyl had done a fingerwave set on herself when she was a local performer on The Front Page. It's not a proper fingerwave. She fingerwaved the front, pin curled the ends at the front, and rollers at the back. It's the look I've been trying to get with my pin curl sets but haven't quite gotten the technique down yet. ghetto_fingerwave_0478 by Tenuki Handcrafts, on Flickr

Going to watch my son march in the Christmas parade tonight so I thought I would be a little festive with the flowers today.

Welcome back Tenuki.

Love the hair-do and your colour is beautiful.

Shebear - very pretty as usual. You have inspired me to cut the bangs back in my hair again. I have tried growning them, they are to nearly the end of my nose, but i just think i look better with bangs. (Herman Munster forehead, nuff said).

Washed my hair in the morning instead of at night, like I should have, so I had to use a curling iron to try and style this morning. Not overly pleased, but not totally displeased. The side turned away from the camera is just pinned back smooth, with the wave showing more on the side you can see. Hope this hair works better when pincurling and sponge rolling, else I'm just going to grow it right back out. Sigh.

Also, I'm terrible with a curling iron. I never ever used one before, or at least, hardly ever -- so this was not fun or easy for me.

Zombi it looks nice, even if it's not what you wanted exactly it really looks great on you.
