with thanks to peach perm rods as recommended by Miss Lolita Haze, I rolled them right to the root for a 50's look and I think it came out rather well

Oh wow I love how your hair curls and the waves are fab! You look like you just 'fell out' of the 1950's :eusa_clap xxx

 

[Norty_Lady]

Make yourself a padded sleeping bandana...I made one and it helps immensely.

Thanks for the tip! Was wondering if the bags under my eyes were worth a good curl in the morning!

 

[BeBopBaby]

Smuterella - I really like your curls. In what direction did you curl your bangs to get that height? My bangs always end up falling. I assume all the rest of your hair was curled under, am I correct? In the back did you leave the crown of your hair smooth or did you roll your hair all the way up, all over?

 

[Smuterella]

I left the crown smooth and the fringe was curled back wards over the roller with the elastic at the front, its the elastic at the front which gives a wave effect. the I busked it out over and up and I pinned it up with just one pin. The rest was all curled under and the elastic taken over the top of the roller to hold it high up, otherwire i find the follers slip down a few notches which is fine for 40's looks but 50's curls need to start higher up.

Hark at me, sounding like i know what i'm talking about!

Well you also look like you know what you're talking about so stop being so modest!!

Did I miss something, what elastic are we talking about ???

the perm rods that they are using have a little black elastic, that keeps the hair on it

I haven't posted my hair for ages so I'm showing off a couple of successful do's from last week:

Updo (still haven't mastered concealing pins!):

Down do:

 

[~*Red*~]

Miss Hannah, I love your do's, pins and all. To be honest, the only time I try to make sure pins aren't showing is if it is a photo shoot, or wedding or something like that. The truth is, it is very hard to make sure pins do not show, and even more hard with Red hair. There is just no getting around it. Black one show, bronze ones show, brown one show, they all show. I have thought many times of spray painting my hair pins red to match my hair. At least they'd be the same color. But my red varied quite often (another reason why the redheads are screwed when it comes to pins.) I never got around to it though.

Even blondes.. bleach blondes in particular can have a hard time with pins showing...The only ones who can conceal quite efficiently are brunettes and the dark haired ravens.

Also, most girls back in the day had pins showing. It was the equivalent of wearing a barrette.

So wear your pins with pride my beautiful Red friend!

This was consoling to hear!

You'll have to excuse the fact my face looks a little strange. I spent most of last night with an ice pack on my face because my eyes started swelling up again from hayfever So my eyes were still a little skew-if this morning.

I think *reasonably* happy is the best way to describe my reaction to todays hair. I had an absolute nightmare battle with my fringe, it would not curl into shape for love nor money, so I ended up giving up and straightening it flat.
