Men in the PR -- Poll (WOMEN ONLY)
Yes, make it women only - this is the main issue for me here on FL. I'd love to be more involved in future. Again, support for everyone identifying as women, regardless of birth sex.- Bebe*Gunn

Hot Roller Help!
Most people seem to like the Babyliss Hot Sticks, but an overnight wet/cold set will take much better on curl resistant hair! Cheaper too... -
Help me date this photo?
My mother was born in 1950 and hit her mod heyday in 1964 when she left school at 14 and started work in a lampshade factory - as she was still living with my nan she had more expendable income between 1964 and 1966 than any other point in her life, so that was the period when she spent most on...- Bebe*Gunn

Vintage hair salons
That's very cool! I used to get my hair cut in a similar looking hairdressers called 'Pamela Anne' in Manchester - sadly the stylist I liked retired ;) There is a closed down hair salon near where I live that is pretty much a time capsule, it features in this article... -

What goodies are on sale!?
Sale on Heyday Fleur dresses (Swirl style wraps) half price! I'm not sure where I should've put this or if I'm breaking any rules (I'm not in anyway connected to or affiliated with Heyday, promise!) but felt it was only right to share that Heyday have reduced all of their Fleur dresses...- Bebe*Gunn

BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!
I've read through all 83 pages of this thread (love Boardwalk Empire!) and really enjoyed many of the opinions - I am however, totally confused by all the cinema photos - pleasantly surprised to see the Essoldo (I live opposite and adore the building) but completely perplexed as to why it's in...- Bebe*Gunn

"Super Rollers," your experiences?
Hello! I think the generic term 'bendy rollers' might give you more search results. Personally, I don't rate these (my hair is bra strap length) as I find it hard not to twist the hair as it rolls up - I'm better off with foam rollers/large perm rods/pin curls. They are also hard to sleep in... -
How do I get vintage hair after the gym?
I swim 2x a week and have built it into my hair setting routine :) Night before a swim I brush out my set and put ojon in my hair to sleep. Wake up, go swim with ojon still in, shower it out and shampoo etc. After that I blast my (ex Bettie) bangs with the dryer a bit then stick in 4 small... -

Umberto Giannini “Vintage” Hair Styling Kit
Hello! I haven't been here for about 5 years but landed here after googling for info re: perms and vintage hairdos and noticed your thread. I've seen these kits in Boots and they seem like a rip off, 5 rollers and 4 bobby pins (ish) for around £8 but I suppose they could be interesting for... -
New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Gosh, I am so excited to find this site! I am now inspired to pluck my eyebrows in a classic 40's arch AND make another futile attempt at rolling my hair :D I have so much to add to so many threads but I will bite my tongue and try really hard not to be the annoying newbie. You all seem so...- Bebe*Gunn
