Show us your hair do's....
Nice work ladies! I find that Vintage Hairstyling book a little difficult to follow... but then I am quite rubbish at styling! Have you tried 'Style Me Vintage'? I find that a lot easier. I STILL haven't worked out how to hide my pins when I do pin curls like those at the side in that Homemaker...- Rocketblast

the leopard can never change its spots
Funnily enough I had this conversation with my fella last night (having not seen this topic) - Chris Evans (bespectacled ginger haired DJ for non-UK loungers) was wearing a leopard print shirt on TV last night and he really couldn't pull it off. I think some men can, but it depends entirely on...- Rocketblast

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
Aww, that's so mean, I hate it when that happens, it takes me ages to get over that sort of thing. Good job you got some positive reinforcement nice and quickly! Some people are just plain rude. Tell me, was she an absolute picture of stylishness? She should stick her stinky attitude where the...- Rocketblast

Cecil, fabulous waves, really nicely defined. I tried them a couple of times earlier this year but didn't manage to get them as well defined as yours, I think I was a bit impatient though. Stupidly, I then had a short fringe cut and now can't do them properly - and it also ruins my victory rolls...- Rocketblast

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
You know, just catching up with the last couple of weeks responses, I just want to say how much I enjoy this thread. One thing I had recently was from a friends daughter aged... small-ish (I'm really good at kids' ages!)... maybe 8 I suppose, she rushed up to me just wanting to let me know that...- Rocketblast

That's a lovely story W D Forties, I'm fascinated by family resemblances so it would be great to see some pix. Your hat (in your profile pic) is splendid, by the way, keep up the good work! :eusa_clap- Rocketblast

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
I'm sorry that I seem to have hi-jacked this thread with a discussion on old ladies, but there was a very glamorous old lady in the town where I used to work who had hair like the woman from the tea shop in Brief Encounter, although it was bigger and flatter like a giant plate, and exactly the...- Rocketblast

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
I was in the queue in Sainsbury's the other week behind a glamorous old lady with red lipstick and a lovely set (oh god, that sounds dodgy, HAIR I mean! Ha ha!:o), and was admiring her curls as per usual... She kept turning to me and commenting "Oh, I'm so naughty!" (for forgetting her bags, for...- Rocketblast

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
A lot of the time when I compliment someone they just give me a funny look... kinda puts me off saying anything. If I'm drunk I just go ahead and compliment everyone, especially in the ladies room, it's like a big love-in in there. I sometimes worry too that people don't look very approachable...- Rocketblast

Well exactly, the old ladies know what they're talking about and they know all the Hollywood icons who we admire, whereas the youngsters today (hark at the old woman) don't really know what it is that we're trying to do, they don't get the references (hence all the comments about Katy Perry or...- Rocketblast

True, most girls would. Most girls also wouldn't eye up old ladies hair jealously, like I do! I'm well known for lusting after "glamour nannas"! If I spot old ladies with cool hair I always want to befriend them and go back to theirs to rifle through their photos ;)- Rocketblast

I'm loving all these 20s/30s do's :eusa_clap Lolitahaze, I would also like to know how you keep your hair looking so soft and in good condition. When I bleached my hair to go bright red it was in terrible condition, and I have vaguely considered bleaching it again to try blonde (but am scared to...- Rocketblast

Annichen, please do give us some pointers on how you did your waves (and the back). I have recently started trying waves and haven't managed to get them as defined as yours, I would love some tips. Beautiful!- Rocketblast

I've logged in to catch up on all your latest styles and I have to say, Miss Tuppence, you look so authentic it is fantastic! And the middies are great, I may have to consider one myself once my hair grows again. I am caught at the moment between the 1940s and my growing passion for the...- Rocketblast

I will have to get myself some sponge rollers for sleeping in and give them a whirl. Can't believe how many different curling products I am accumulating trying to find the right one - I won't have room to move soon!

I suspected as much... although I rarely have the energy in the evenings to do my hair in an overnighter, which is why I go for a heated curl for the weekend when I have more time. And that will be why my fingerwaves lasted so nicely. Perhaps I just need to get more organised in the evenings and...- Rocketblast

I would love to wear hats but I'm a bit timid about it (apart from the fact I haven't mastered how to do 'hat hair') - maybe I just need to take the plunge!- Rocketblast
