Ok ladies, this is just for fun. I found a really cute set of checks in my weekly add and brochure mailings and they are SOOOO cute! Here is my contribution to this odd little thread that hopefully some of us will have fun with. Here is the link...

Sometimes I roll my hair in french twists on both sides of my hair winding it away from my ears then pull it all into a ponytail and clip...It looks vintage and cute. Hairnets can be helpful with a ruined set to...brush it as best you can do the twist on both sides ponytail and wrap a hairnet...

I've been using the Motions at home lotion and it lasts roughly 2 days...I don't know about the lottabody...haven't gotten to try it yet but I would try putting the lotion on a wet comb and running it through my hair. I noticed that the more lotion I used, the nicer my set. But it took courage...

Welcome MissS! Your hair is lovely! Hope your style lasts all day...I have Oriental hair and it took me all of two years to find a way to make it stay put. Normal products made it bog down:rolleyes: Hope to hear from you quite a bit in here and again welcome.

Lolita Haze: Wow-O! You're right it's not quite the bette davis look but it's so retro...looks a little Ginger rogers from swing time in the front! So gorgeous! Ruby Red/Raven locks: You are so pretty! I wish I was cute and brave enough to sport that really awesome hair. Way to go...

Well ladies here is the diagram from my latest pincurl style. I have a bunch of pictures that look like a tutorial in my photobucket but I don't want to bog down this thread. If anyone wants the other pics posted please let me know. Here's the finished look: And here's the pin-curl...

Well ladies here is my latest outcome with pincurls and by far the best outcome yet I think. I'm posting the diagram I drew in the pincurl setting pattern thread.

Yes Hey Mambo, welcome!
