I hate to be the "annoying hairdresser" here (lol) ..
Box bleaches in the store, as far as I know, use a very high volume developer AKA way stronger than most people would need. The developer (peroxide) is what blows the hairs' cuticle open in order for the bleach/colour to penetrate the hair...
I have probably posted the same pic before in another thread but I have this weird thing where I am rarely in pictures and hardly ever get my picture taken! So anyway here is me in a dress that I saved from the bin at a vintage store
.. I've also noticed on some YouTube videos and tutorials that some dont wrap the curl properly, kind of winding it randomly around their finger..? It's important to wrap it uniformly/in one direction, if that makes sense, not with random twists. That's getting off topic though lol!
In hair school we learned that while the initial set is important, it is equally as important to know how to "sculpt" the curl after it is dried and brushed out. A pincurl set is very moldable. From the pictures you posted, most look like they have been sculpted into shape, there's no way they...
I've had nothing but great luck with them.. They have always been very durable! I had to throw a pair out because they just looked old, I must have washed them 20 times lol. They are currently the only backseam tights that I can find here that are somewhat cheap. I bought a pair of Commando...

I suspect they wore darker ones for evening wear? I've seen greyish colours, too
American Apparel makes great...
Yes, those are 1970s for sure. Just judging by the pic alone, online price would probably range anywhere from $20 - $50... The condition looks good/fair, if you cleaned them up a little it would probably raise the price up a bit. It's hard to judge vintage values just by researching similar...
Hi! I'm still relatively new.. I notice this is mainly 30s-50s fans here. The majority of my wardrobe is from the 60s, though, so I thought I'd share my usual outfits & makeup :)
