Thanks everybody, I'm feeling overexposed now...

 

[crwritt]

thank you so much for the comments everyone!!

Juliet - you're so sweet for saying that! it made me cry! my fiance was wondering why I was suddenly sobbing at the computer haha **

Katinka - bless you! that's the nicest compliment you look gorgeous in your little avatar too

Zombiegirl - believe me, this is not what I normally look like when I'm sick!! I'm usually in a dressing gown on the sofa with tissues all around me! yuck. This was literally just me trying to perk myself up a bit! Makes you feel a bit better doesn't it?

Snowdrop & Tatum - thank you ladies! makes me feel like I'm starting to get it right, I used to feel soooo useless at doing my hair. It's all about practice I guess!

At least being sick at home gives you time to play with your hair...very pretty, and of course I'm a fan of dots!

You girls all look gorgeous

Here's my latest attempt with longer hair and Bettie bangs getting longer:

Try as hard as possible to get the right side, but I just can't get it [huh]

I do like the dip I finally got the back to do...

Instead of Hot Sticks this time I used med and large sponge rollers and left them in for about 3 hours. I like it better this way, because the curls are less poodle-y at the bottom.

rue, I really like that. You make me want to grow out my hair to just past shoulders again.

Awww.... thank you lillemor! I know it must look like I'm just showing the same thing over and over, but I'm still trying to find the right look for me, so I appreciate it

Rue your hair is gorgeous. Heck, YOU are gorgeous. I love the back on this latest photo - shiny and then dipping into the under-turned curl. Lovely!

Thank you both so much

@ Rue, I love it how it turned out at the back.
I wish mine would look that good.

Thank you again Berlin

I'm still a novice, but I can tell you that I used medium sponge rollers in a u shape around my head (tight on the sides and coming down to the base of the back of my head) then I followed those with large rollers in the same way. Then I tied a bandana tightly just around the curlers and left the top of my head open. I think that helped make the dip. Does that makes sense?

I wish I had your wardrobe

You all have such beautiful hair.

I'm going to spend some time this weekend trawling through this thread and having a play around with my own hair.

You're all very inspirational!

I am sorry, I missed this!
Thanks for explaining! Yes it makes absolutely sense! I must try it sometimes.

 

[Tatum]

Rue, that is absolutely stunning! I so look forward to your posts, you are such a knockout

You're very welcome! I hope you share if you do. Your hair always looks amazing
I forgot to add that I used hairspray on each section of hair and brushed it out like a mad woman after I pulled out the rollers lol

Rue, that is absolutely stunning! I so look forward to your posts, you are such a knockout

That is so sweet of you to say Tatum and I take that as a great compliment as your hair always looks perfect

Okay now someone else post before my head gets big

Rue, it's true -- you have such good bone structure & perfect brows. You always look so lovely! How long is your hair, may I ask? It looks like it might be about the length of mine and I really like that style.

Oh my gosh You girls are embarrassing me. Thank you zombi

It's almost to my shoulder blades, but not quite. It needs to be cut though because it's not holding the curl as long as I like (2-3 days). I'll cut about 3 inches off and then not have it done again for about three or four months.

Anyway, all of you made my week, so thank you again

Here is one of my first attempts at something vintage inspired.
