Show us your hair do's....

Hi Ladies

I'm a new member of the forum and haven't commented until now, but I've been reading for awhile and I'm so intrigued with your ability to do your hair so well. I've been practicing, but since I just cut bangs, I'm wondering if I'm getting the look right. I'm trying to go for a late 40s early 50's look. Any thoughts? Thank you

Rue you look amazing! not a flyaway in sight. By the way I love your eyebrows, I wish I could get mine to look like that.

scarlett · Oct 22, 2010

Rue, I love the bangs they really bring the focus to your eyes and perfectly shaped eyebrows.

Tatum · Oct 22, 2010

Rue, you look fabulous! So polished...

Waves, not as beautiful or fancy as you ladies have been up to, but i found since they sculpted themselves it was nice.

RockyHorror · Oct 22, 2010

I was amazed at how naturally these waves happened!

Rue, welcome! That's a great look! Gorgeous.

40'sfetish, Scarlett, Tatum, Kitty_Sheridan.... Thank you!! I was so nervous to post, because I didn't know if I was doing it right, but now I feel so much better. You really made my day

Thank you for the eyebrow comments too! Naturally they look like 70s Brooke Shields, but I've been plucking them like Vivien Leigh's eyebrows since the first time my mom let me get my hands on the tweezers LOL
Thank you again!

Naturally? You're so lucky! It took forever for me to get my hair to do that in front (before I had the bangs).

Squeeeeeeeeeeee!!! My girl RUE! So glad to see you on here, yay!
The "dark side" looks great on you! I love it!!
You fit the look perfectly, truly. But you're a gorgeous doll no matter what. Those eyes and brows...gahhhh!! FAB.
What did you use to get your great curls?
Nikki

Hi sweet Nikki!! Yep... the dark side LOL Thank you for the compliments. You are FAR too kind my beautiful friend (blushing).

I used two rows of smallish sponge rollers on the sides and medium ones in the back on my dry hair. The only product I used was setting lotion before I dried it and hair spray before I rolled it and I left them in for about two and a half hours.

xoxo,
rue

I made a hair video last night on brushing techniques. This should help the new gals who get frightened off by the clown hair they sometimes get when brushing out pin curls. You can watch the video at my blog here!!!!

Very cute video. :eusa_clap
I think you explained your brushing out technique really well and I did pick up a few things that I wasn't doing that I might try. What was that last product you put in your hair after the water and setting lotion? It looked like the part were most girls go for the basic pomade but I know you said it was some kind of hair treatment (I had bad sound quality not sure if it was my computer or your recording sounded like a busy road or rushing water in background).

LolitaHaze · Oct 23, 2010

buddy5909... Thanks so much!

L-o-LGal... No worries... the sound is my recording, not your computer. The last thing I used on my hair is called R&B from Lush... You can find it here. It is kind of a leave in, but it works nicely for me as a balm that aids in the smoothing of my kink. It is heavily perfumed, although it smells lovely! If you have a LUSH near you, go in and test it out in the store. It may seem pricey for the small jar, but I since I only use it as a styling aid, it lasts forever! It's not a stiff hold like a pomade is, but it does help.

Let me know how the technique works for you. I am curious how well it works for others. I can only base the technique from my hair.

deadpandiva · Oct 23, 2010

I have a Lush near me. I wonder if that would work on my hair.

Antje · Oct 23, 2010

Great video Lolita! unfortionatly I had to watch it without sound, but I will watch it tommorow again, with sound, when the rest
of the family isn't bugging me.

Tatum · Oct 24, 2010

Lolita, thanks for posting that! Great technique and I love your sense of humor

Great video, I love your personality!

I wonder if brushing out pin curls with a Tangle Teezer would work?
