Show us your hair do's....

[Grant Fan]

First time trying this out, so be gentle with me...

I think you did a great job especially for the first time. My first attempt at rolls was nowhere near as nice as what you have going. I would say that for the larger roll. I find that I don't like that it is so much larger (mine does the same exact thing it makes me feel lopsided) to remedy that i take part of that section of hair and make another roll from the bangs it make me feel less lopsided. But that being said you did a lovely job, and you don't have any fly aways which makes me green with envy.

Hi,
I have just coloured my hair from mid brown to marmalade red (one of the true ginger shades from L'oreal's Majolica range). It has also grown longer, just about collar lenght (from 20's style cheek length). To wear with the vintage 30's hat it was curled using heated tongs and then pinned to cool.

I tried out the pin-curling thing...I know I'm a really beginner ! By the way I didn't have a pattern or a special purpose / event: I made it just to try!

And this is the result (and you can see my face for the first time too !)

Thanks to all of you girls!

Minn,

I think it looks lovely! I'm going to have some fun reading your blog too. BTW My African Grey is named "Minerva" and we call her Min too. Smart name for a smart lady.

Bunny, you're gorgeous! I'm new to vintage as well and still haven't decided what to do with my train wreck hair. So, I haven't even attempted pin curls yet. That said, I think you did a great job! I'm learning that, like everything else in life we wish to do well, there is a learning curve and practice makes perfect!

Lolita Haze, that video is hilarious! I thought you did a really good job capturing the corny, funny, cuteness of all those old commercials. I loved it. And you are so pretty, your look is perfect! You have the right stuff to be a vintage spokeswoman! I hope you win!!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[Antje]

Kamikat, the red is Great on you

Lolita haze super comercial :eusa_clap

I tried two rolls with braids yesterday. I was in a bit of a rush and then I went out in the rain but it held up all right.

My first trip out at night since going fully vintage.
I was sooooooo pleased with how my hair turned out!
Thank you all so much for inspiring me, I am having so much fun!!

[Dutchess]

You look supercute Claireg!

This is my hairstyle. I dye my hair myself and created fingerwaves the lazy way. This is how I do it. But I have to admit my hair is very easy to handle. It has a natural curl and is not very thick. This 1930's style is my favorite at the moment. A little hairspray keeps the waves in place, even when wearing a hat.

 

[23SkidooWithYou]

Ooooh Dutchess, awesome wave!:eusa_clap

So, I'm still pretty inexperienced with pin curls and the like, but I was playing around with my hair today and it came out okay

(ignore silly advertisements)

I'm sort of afraid of combing it out more to get more defined waves, my hair tends to get frizzy and I'd rather do too little than do too much and end up with a fluff ball of hair.

 

[Claireg]

Dutchess - thanks for the finger waves tutorial - I will practise that asap!
I was wondering how to get that look.

So, here is my first attempt at 40s style poodle bangs! I have to say, as a fellow red head I was inspired a lot by C-dots old icon photo where her bangs look very cute. I wasn't sure I could pull the look off but I quite like it!

I loosely followed Lisa FreemontStreet's video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lckn8eAhVXg), but I used sponge rollers in a cold overnight set instead of pin curls.

 

[23SkidooWithYou]

Love the ENTIRE look! The hair is faboo, the red cardi is wonderful and the brooch is yummy. You look ready for holiday fun!

Just lovely! I can't imagine anything suiting you better! Keep it up, LadyL!

WOW LadyL - you look amazing! 100% knockout - well done!
