I actually have the second set. I will try it out and report back whether or not it works.

I was flipping channels and the infomercial for this was on. http://www.topstyler.com/index.html He was doing basically pin curls but instead of pinning them he was clipping them with these heated clips. He made the pin curls look so easy, but we all know they're not! LOL I feel bad...

My hair continues to be bright freaking turquoise. I think I was a vintage mermaid in a past life. That's my only explanation.

I was going to suggest this too, only I found out I was intolerant to gluten. My skin cleared up and I lost weight as soon as I modified my diet. Gluten intolerance won't be picked up on a standard allergy test, it has a special blood test. You have to be eating gluten when you get tested though...

I've had both and I adored my purple hair.

I do this quite a bit when I have set my hair the day before and the curls just aren't lasting for another day. I put a bit of setting lotion in and curl it up again. I can do this in the morning when I wake up and by the time I'm done with breakfast and getting dressed I can take the rollers...

I'm also a ginger and pale as I can be. People compliment me on my skin and then immediately turn around and ask me why I'm not tan. I explain to them that my skin is the way it is BECAUSE I'm not tan. I have nothing against tans, but it's not going to look good on me even if I did figure out...

I did it too. I love it. I've gotten so many compliments already and it's only my 2nd day in.

I wear 3 sets. I wet set my hair before bed every night except Friday nights. I use 1 inch foam rollers for a set very similar to what C-dot posted in the middy thread. I cut my hair using her instructions on Wednesday night and the set still works. One of my other sets uses pillow rollers, I...

Beautiful! That is exactly where I was going to cut it to! You both get a gold star for the day. :)

C-dot, will your haircut in the tutorial work for this style? This is the style I want to do daily but I need a cut to go with it. My middy from the salon is too long so I think I'm going to try your haircut, but if it won't do this style then I won't try it.

LizzieMaine- I wonder what type of dye you would use on seersucker? Could give some old pieces new life.

It was 106F yesterday. I was outside for more than a few hours, completely comfortable. Wore my seersucker shirt dress and some sandals. Everyone else was miserable in their cotton/poly shirts and jean shorts. I looked fabulous. Anyone else love seersucker?

Okay, so I'm a recovering tomboy. I've gotten into the habit of fixing my hair after years of struggling with that. The whole wet set and sleep on it thing has helped plenty! I still don't wear make-up though. Okay, I do, but only when I have to. I really like the look of the vintage make-up but...

Hello. I'm new. I've always been fascinated with the 40's and 50's (although earlier in the 50's rather than later) and I guess it never occurred to me that I could actually dress that way until my husband bought me a nice shirt dress. I'm in love. I also have bright teal hair, so I'm a little...
