hot roller thingies.... really.
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... -

~Recreating Hair styles of the 1940s~
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 need a woman's help
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... -

Curler help needed!
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... -

Pale or Tan?
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. -

Curler help needed!
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... -

How to get this 40s hair................
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. -

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

For the love of seersucker.
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?- Smumo

make-up for a recovering tomboy
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... -

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
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...- Smumo

Blue Black dye?
I like to put it on and then comb it through to make sure it goes on evenly. Other than that I slap it on, put on a shower cap and let it sit for a while. You can't over process with vegetable dyes like Manic Panic. Rinse it until it's clear and be careful for a few days as to what it touches... -

Weight loss options
I do this as well. I mix black tea bags with mint tea bags and I never have to sweeten it at all. -

Vintage Hair and Working Out
I've worn my rollers on my morning jog before. In fact, it's easier to roll them just out of the shower, wrap them up in a turban, jog and then come home and take them down. You need a turban dear. -

Blue Black dye?
If you want the blue that's on the sample (i.e. pure blue) you DO have to bleach your hair first. If you're just looking for a subtle tint where it looks blue-ish when the light hits it right, then you can just put on the darker colors over black hair. I've been doing wild hair colors for... -

Blue Black dye?
I have teal hair right now, but in the past for blue-black what I've done is dyed my hair black and then put a blue tint on over it. Lots of different companies make blue demi-permanent dyes. My favorite company right now is Directions. It would show up a subtle blue over your black hair and you...
