I know we have about a zillion hair threads going, but I was wondering if I could just get a quick shout from the (very well informed) peanut gallery. I need to get my hair into a reasonable facsimile of a 1939-40 ‘do. Here’s the digs:
My hair is currently cut in two layers – one is several inches below my shoulders, the second reaches my shoulders. And I have bangs that have grown out to mid-nose. It’s very thick, on the coarse/wavy side. It holds pins well, and it will usually hold a curl if it’s not too damp out. I need it to stay in place for 12 hours with minimal/no touch-ups. I have a tall, frontwardly jutting hat that I am planning to wear, so the crown of the head in the back will need to be flat. I am absolutely all thumbs with pincurls, so something that I could set with sponge rollers would be ideal.
What can I do with long hair like this? Should I schedule a chop (…but THEN what?) or work around it?
