It's Manic Panic Vampire Red. The last color was just awful. I did something I knew I shouldn't have just because I was too lazy to run back out to the supply house. I used 30vol developer when I should have used 10 or 20, but I was out. The color was Matrix 7R and exactly matches my hairpiece when I use it with 10vol. With the 30vol, it was ORANGE, but at least the grey was gone I was worried about th Manic Panic, but it came out such a lovely color. I had used it on clients with prelightened hair, but this is the first time I'd used it on color treated hair that wasn't bleached. It looks great and not too wild.

johanna, love the blue eye shadow. i think a lot of people shy away from blue eye shadow with fear of recreating the 1980's. but i think if it's done in the right environment, like you did, it looks totally FAB!

i love your curls too. i wish i had the energy to curl my hair. but i sit at home with my baby on most days and just don't have the desire to pincurl my hair to sit on the floor and play with baby.

hee hee.. man, that's what I have to use on my hair.. 30 vol or higher. 10 and 20 would do nothing!lol

The vampire red looks soooo good on you. Not too wild at all. Just right, I'd say!

My first attempt

After reading the first 20 or so pages of this topic I decided to try curling my hair with more attention paid to placement of the curlers last night. I'm lucky, as a girl nothing would keep curls in my hair short of perming. I wore it boy short for about 12 years and then grew it out again and to my surprise it was wavy and keeps a curl beautifully all day long. I guess my hair being so thin and fine, while making me look bald if parted badly, does give me very little to weigh the curls down.

Anyhow, I used foam rollers (I bought a new pack of smaller ones last night as suggested since the back never curled as well as the front). My hair is about shoulder length and layered. I carefully sectioned my freshly showered hair and smoothly wrapped each lock and then covered it all with a satin sleeping scarf. This morning I gently unwound the curlers and then, first time ever, brushed the curls out. (I always worried I'd get a head of fluff if I did that before with my hodge-podge method).

It actually turned out pretty well I think. The picture, being taken on a friend's camera phone at work did not turn out so well but such is life. I'm hoping to do my hair for a gathering this weekend where the railroad club (founded in 1938) I belong to is celebrating the birthday of the last surviving founding member. I thought something vintage might be cute and appropriate. What do you ladies think? Any suggestions?

^Your curls look great and I love the bow. You did a really good job.:eusa_clap

 

[CassD]

Candied Violets I think your curls look wonderful. The picture is at least good enough to show them, and the bow is a very nice touch.

 

[dollydaydream]

Candied Violets; I think your hair is super cute, I like bows in hair. More people should wear bows (I know I'm repeating someone else here!!).

If everyone did though, would they be so cute? [huh]

Pomp & circumstance?

I love how the pomp hides my ugly roots.

my first post!

Hello everyone! I have been reading this thread all week, and I have been so inspired by all of your beautiful hairdos!! I am nervous to post these pictures, because this was my first attempt at a roller set, actually the first time I rolled my hair ever! My hair is naturally really straight, and I have always been one of those wash-n-go girls, but all of your pictures got me all excited, so I went out and bought some cheap-o foam rollers! A lot of the curls were wonk-tastic, but overall I was happy with it!

Any pointers!? Let me know!

p.s. I am glad to finally be posting!

Any pointers!? Let me know!

Looks pretty good, Magpie! And welcome to the Lounge!

My only pointer is practice, practice, practice! Try setting lotion, try different types of rollers, different size sections of hair, wet sets, dry sets... just play around with it and you will find what works for you. In no time at all, you'll be posting photos that make you look like a pro
