I finally got around to take some pics of my set with my new hair cut. I had layers put it about a month ago and it has made my curls so much more balanced. I am also in the process of going back to my natural red hair color after doing brunette for 2 years.
This set was done with hot sticks which seem to work the best for me.

 

[texasgirl]

Fantastic! And I love the color, suits you more than the brown!

Amazing hair, CherryRed! I love red heads, glad you're one again

Darhling, can you give us an idea of what type of hairstyle you want to achieve? Some piccies would be great, then we might be able to give some more specific advice.

Please your hair is beautiful..... perhaps just a trim or some long layers but don't cut it.

okay - First a little something about my hair :

I have really thick, wavy to curly when dried naturally and there is lots of it. It is cut in layers the longest hitting beneath shoulderblades and the longest being about 3 inches higher up.

I want a wavy style that ends with everything curled up under, a bit like this. BUt any suggestions would be nice! Remember I also have bangs (that I don't want to curl) so the style has to look good with that.

 

[Darhling]

I don't know how the top if this style could work with bangs.

I dont know .. something not super fussy that looks good?

I've tried it before and it worked pretty well for me.

oooohh swooon I want her hair!! So thats a pageboy style?? okay, I may have to dump the hot rollers and get me some hot sticks..off to ebay!

Thank you so much for posting that!!

 

[Audrey Horne]

Glad to help (Pigeon Toe I hope you don't mind!)
The trick is using some kind of mouse/hairspray or something like the tutorial mentions. I've tried it without and the curls fell rather quickly. My hair is really thick and I found that I have to take slightly smaller sections or the curl won't hold as well. Good luck!

Ah, yes, Pidgeon Toe's fabulous hair!

Darhling, you can still do this with hot rollers. Just don't roll them tight to the scalp.

This would work with your fringe as well. I have a below the eye length fringe and I just set it with a standing pincurl to give me that slight wave at the front.

Just remember to smooth down the frizzies with some spray after brushing to give you that sleek look.

I love your hair too Miss S, it looks so elegant! I'll give it a try with my hot rollers, but the weight of my hair seems to pop out the stay-in-put things s the curler slides out of the hair.

I'm a newbie struggling with hairstyling too but its lots of fun experimenting along the way (my flatmate thinks it's hilarious too). I have naturally stick straight and very heavy hair so I'm just excited at the fact I can get a curl into, no matter what bizarre methods it takes or how ridiculous it turns out!

This is the result of my third ever pincurl set (my first is in my avatar).

This thread is such an encouragement! I'll be so pleased if I can get my hair half as well as some of you beautiful ladies... especially that perfect pageboy tutorial. I'll be trying that this weekend!
