Show us your hair do's....

Marzipan, I like the new bangs much better in your current avatar photo than in the original one you posted! :eusa_clap

Here's my hair today, set on small curlers, with and without the hat I'm wearing today.

ScotchWhisky · Nov 14, 2008

Mrs. Meri, your hair looks lovely! It's simple but very pretty. You have gorgeous skin, too!

Mrs. Merl · Nov 14, 2008

Gosh, thank you ScotchWhisky! I really, really like the hat in your picture! You look awesome in it too!

Mrs. Merl · Nov 14, 2008

I have to agree with ScotchWhisky...I like the bangs in your new avatar a lot Marzipan!

Miss Molly · Nov 14, 2008

ScotchWhiskey, you are beautiful! I adore your hat SO much by the way. Is it a real vintage? Sometimes I see vintage repro hats about...

Ditto! Love, I think we could be hair twins if we tried.

An attempt at an "everyday" type up-do.

So pretty and classic!

Love both looks! The hat is so charming.

Marzipan -I like both styles on you. At first I was leaning towards the original hair, but then I went to your blog and saw some more pictures and the bangs won me over

. I would love to be a housewife *daydreams*.

ScotchWhisky - You have such pretty hair. The hat is lovely, as well! Where did you find it? It looks similar to something I saw on Etsy.

Marzipan · Nov 15, 2008

Yay! So I suppose I'll keep them for a bit though I want to grow out the rest of my hair. I went from having it nearly to my waist to my shoulders and while I like it, I do miss the wildness of long, thick hair.

Oh, and does anyone else think that Staceface and ScotchWhiskey look like sisters?

My baby...

She truly adores playing make-up and dress-up with "Mama" - can't you tell?

Oh I love it. It's pictures like this that make me dream of cutting my hair short. How long is it when it's not curled? You look absolutely amazing!

ScotchWhisky · Nov 15, 2008

Thanks so much for all the compliments! You're all very sweet.

The hat was made by a friend of mine and she does have a shop on Etsy. It's the Irene Dunne hat (http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=10309879). She uses vintage hatblocks, so they do look very authentic.

My hair is about an inch or so above my shoulders when it's not curled.

Here I am in braids as I perform my housewifely duties.

Red Diabla · Nov 16, 2008

Finally tried something!

Thursday was my wedding anniversary. Here's a blog post recapping my adventures in trying to look different than my usual slovenly self:

I think like most ladies here, I had to try several times to get anything useable when doing pincurls. I'm just beginning to get the hang of doing them, I think!

ScotchWhisky · Nov 16, 2008

Marzipan, you look very cute with the scarf and braids!

And Red Diabla, your pincurls came out great! I wish that I could do that well, but I have just never mastered it. Foam curlers for me.

Inky · Nov 16, 2008

Marineabillly - your doggie is adorable with her "do!!"

Scotchwhiskey - wow! l love your look and covet your fabulous eyebrows!!

Marzipan - I think your braids are a great look (and keep the bangs!)

RedDiabla - dang girl, you are definitely getting the hang of pin curls - and bonus points for a great gift idea. My hubby would pass out if I served him a home cooked meal AT the dinner table in high heels! But I really want to see how your Nurse Ratchet look turned out

I hope I didn't miss anyone's post recently - you all look so great!

Naama · Nov 16, 2008

Ah! You girls all look so gorgeous!!!!! I'm in love

I don't know, since I moved to england my hair looks horrible all the time

It's so hard to look good if the weather is wet.... Over here my hair falls appart so fast and easily....

Scotch: it took some experimentation on what works for me. I have fine, oily hair that doesn't like to hold a curl when I want it to. I haven't had the chance to try setting lotion, but this was my routine for the Anniversary 'do:

wash hair, using as little shampoo as possible.

put in mousse.

blow dry until damp.

start pincurling: I started from the root instead of the ends; my hair ended up being way less frizzy that way. I used hairspray on each section of hair before I rolled it up.

I used metal clips instead of bobby pins:

Left everything in for several hours, using the blow dryer for a few seconds every once in awhile when I remembered to. And voila!

Inky: the husband was definitely surprised in a good way with his present! It's good to keep the guys on their toes every once in awhile! lol

I'll post my Nurse Ratchett outfit soon. I didn't have hair rats, so I couldn't do the 'do as well as I'd hoped. But it was still a fun outfit to put together!
