Show us your hair do's....

[Isis]

Thank you Tatum! And happy birthday! I'm sure your hair will come out great!

 

[Miss sofia]

Yep, your hair is always so fab so i'm sure today will be no exception. Happy Birthday, have a great day Tatum!

 

[LittleMissToniJo]

I'm scared to take my set out, I wanted great hair today (it's my birthday!) but I totally experimented last night... Could be an epic fail!

Happy Birthday!! I hope the hair was peeeerfect!

 

[LittleMissToniJo]

Wow I love it... what a find!

 

[nosferaturoams]

My gosh you're all so lovely. I love all your hair styles. I tried this hairstyle out of lauren's book "vintage hairstyling". Instead of hot rollers I just slept in sponge rollers. It's not much compared to everyone else but I enjoyed it

 

[rue]

^ On the contrary... I think it's darling and you're so cute

 

[nosferaturoams]

Oh thank you so much Rue
I've been summoning up the courage to do something on a day I WASN'T stuck inside
Hopefully things will get nicer overtime

 

[Rocketblast]

I agree Nosferaturoams, that is very nice

 

[Kitty_Sheridan]

Oooh Nosferatu...that's sweet!

 

[Tatum]

Ooh, Nosferaturoams just adorable! Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone... Hair came out decent. I loved the back, but the front was my go-to two rolls. I don't think I got any good photos, but I'll look!

 

[nosferaturoams]

Thank you so much everyone !!
I'll have to wait till next week to do something again (those are my breaks from excercising ). Happy belated birthday Tatum

Hi everyone
I'm new around here- but I wanted to see what you guys think of my hair atm- this was taken on the second day of my pin curl set- turned out better than I expected!

And this was today's attempt-

I've only just managed to get into the proper swing of doing victory rolls recently- my fringe has been at that annoying length where it just doesn't want to roll for a while- but with some practise I've managed to tame it! Practise makes perfect, however

 

[rue]

^ You look adorable and your hair looks really nice too

Welcome to the Lounge

 

[RodeoRose]

SiobhanJulia, your hair is too cute!! Oh, and welcome to the Lounge : )

Nosferaturoams, your hair is so darling as well!

I'm loving the new influx of young ladies! That sounds really creepy lol, but what I mean is that it's great to see other girls my age rocking such amazing vintage hairstyles!

 

[Whoa Mama!]

Everyone's hair is so gorgeous!! (Jealous!)

I just got a middy cut a few weeks ago and am still getting the hang of it. Pin curls elude me, still (though I've found some fantastic books, recently!) So here it is...all curled and fluffed:

Middy

Still not quite where I'd like it to be. I just have to get over being all thumbs, and learn pin curls for real, now!

 

[zombi]

You gals all look amazing! & welcome to the new ladies

 

[nosferaturoams]

I'm loving the new influx of young ladies!

I think lots of us are seeing rockabilly more and more often. That's slightly how I was introduced into this style. I favor old-fashioned vintage instead of the rockabilly (Rita Hayworth was the true reason I dove right into the 40's/all of this) but both are nice. It's c.1950's (which is my favorite style thus far. Especially since I'm pretty "curvy" round the stomach)

 

[nosferaturoams]

Btw, siobhanjulia and Whoa Mama!
You've both got amazing hair. I wish my first pin curling set turned out like that!

 

[Whoa Mama!]

nosferaturoams...thanks for the compliment! And I wish MY first pin curling turned out like that, too That's my hair, after curling with brush curlers....I'm such a cheater! It's a fairly quick way to get it dry (especially under a hard bonnet dryer, since the curlers are so airy) so I curl my hair mostly every morning. It makes for a bit too much volume at the sides, though. Honestly, I'd rather pincurl and sleep on it (if I can ever get the hang of it) since curling and drying every morning adds about a half-hour to my routine (plus think of the wear and tear on my hair!!). Sigh! How DO you ladies do it???

I did a comparison set to show the wave the more commonly found Marcel waver gives. It's a larger wave, but shallower and doesn't last as long.

This set picture is from when my hair was much shorter, but shows what this type of Marcel waver looks like.
