Show us your hair do's....

[RetroModelSari]

I wanna contribute some photos of my hair, too...

Here I had used small rollers and worn them over night. Afterwards I just pinned them all in place and I was done!

Here I was using my curling iron to do on roll in the front and two at the sides. For the hair in the back I used one of those foam rolls and rolled my hair around it and pinned it afterwards.

Ah ladies.. you all look just grand! I have to share with you gals that doing those beautiful hair do's from the 1930s-1940s and even from the 50s are a great task not only how to position the pincurls or rollers just to get that certain look but it sure is a pain for the fingers and arms but the result just speaks for it self!

I don't do this very often, but my motivation lacks usually, that and I have to massage almost every other day (days when I HAVE to have my hair up and out of the way) But I sometimes do a woman's pompador with a ponytail. It's similar to the other tutorial posted in a another post, but I didn't know about that when I made mine.

Ah! That's just adorable! (And it's such a great picture too!)

Thanks I love playing with my camera

This is one of mine. A friend did it for me. It started with hot rollers and then later she put the back up and made the rolls by sweeping little pieces into the roll one at a time until they all added up to two big rolls.

BV- forgive the severe, craggy expression. The photographer didn't like smiley and wanted me to look angry. (I had trouble not smiling for that long.)

ooh! I love it!

Hmm, the links on my end aren't working. I'd really like to see the pics though.

Not the most flatterning picture, but you get the general idea.

 

[humblestumble]

pretty! It doesnt even look like you have any kind of "product" in it, do you?

 

[Vanessa]

Great pic, Lauren. Did you set your hair before styling?

What she said... except for the last part.

Nope. Just hairspray. I spray it lightly to keep the flyaways in place when I roll it. Just a mist, then smooth it into place with my hand, then roll it and spray it again. It stayed all day, and that's a tough feat for my fine hair

Thanks to Vanessa for teaching me the art of rolling!

I love the effect pincurls give, I wish my hair was long enough to even attempt rolls!

The day after it went into really nice waves as well!

 

[Novella]

My first attempt at pincurls (and my first post here!)

 

[Lauren]

Very Veronica Lake! Welcome to the lounge!

Here's my hair from last saturday night. I put in sponge rollers, but they mostly fell out by the end of the day, so this was a combination sponge rollers, curling iron, and lots and lots of hairspray and pins!

Lauren, all that work was worth it, it looks lovely. Stunning dress by the way.

Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of hairspray.

 

[Lauren]

note to self: DON'T put the comb in your mouth that you were wearing the previous day with a vintage hairstyle.

Thanks

Especially in public - because you'll then spit it out on the floor and go "GAH!"
