SayCici, you are a doll! I love how your hat matches your bike.

Somehow I didn't even realize that! lol Thank you!

no recent hair pics, but today went to three beauty shops local to me to see if they have a gal that would do my hair in 40s vintage styles, wet roller sets. One more place to check out that I was told has a lady there who is 84yo. At least she'd remember the 40s! I love what the gentleman in SF has done for me- but the gas cost, drive time (an hour each way ) and the garage parking costs add up to be so much...

I'm going to try a couple of gals out here for test runs, but I need to bring some pictures to show them what I want done.

Thank you ladies for your wonderful comments! That hairstyle was achieved with pillow rollers. I purchased them at Target for $9.99 for a pack of 24, I have ALOT of hair so I had to get 2! I'm thinking of getting another one, because sometimes it still isn't enough!! Well I rolled everything down, let it set overnite, then combed it out with various brushes and combs as I'm still figuring what comb/brush works for me. Maybe I'll post tutorial pics....

I looked at those pillow rollers today, they seem so small, did you like them ?
Do you think they work as well as foam rollers ?

Feedback please

Hi ladies (and gents!)...

I've been silently reading the forum for a while, happily learning about hair and makeup I ordered some hair rats (american discount beauty supply) and decided to finally sit down and try to do my first victory rolls!

Here are a couple shots of my very first attempt After taking the photo, I realized how much the hair rat was poking out the top - woops! Otherwise, what feedback do you have? I have a lot of super thick hair, so I am unable to hold a curl - thus I have straightened it (better than frizzy with a slight misshapen wave!)

Nice rolls, looks especially nice with the 2 collors

I FINALLY have something post-worthy!!

Apologies if you're on Livejournal as I've posted there with this hair already. I'm just pleased, I had almost lost faith in pincurls until now. I figured out that because of the natural texture of my hair I get a much better result if i blowdry my hair straight first and then set the pincurls in dry hair dampened with a bit of undiluted Lottabody. It's far from perfect, but unlike my other attempts it's actually wearable!

They generally give a different type of curl than the foam curlers, more of a, ummm, spirally wavey type I guess you could call it, then the more formed foam rollers. I just used mine the other day on my shorter hair and it gave it a nice body wave effect. My piillow curlers are also deflated and I sooooo need new ones lol. But they are very comfy for over night sleeping.

Nope, never! Thankyou!


Also ladies, I'm going to the Sydney '50s fair on Sunday but have no idea what to do with my long hair. I'm wearing a black sheath/wiggle type dress and a black hat so something youthful like a ponytail is out, but i think my hair is maybe too long to just wear down and curled. Any ideas?

I do like them, theyre small but it guarantees good even curls throughout all the hair. I think they work the same as foam rollers, I believe they contain the same sponge/foam. With the pillow rolllers you can create loose or tight curls, it all depends on the tension you use.

Heres my hair today. This is my usual style. Normally the back is curled, I didn't have time to do so...

I know this might be a bit played but you could do a veronica lake, it would go well with or with out a hat and would look nice with a wiggle dress.

I don't know what sort of hat you intened to wear so it makes it hard to offer advice.
I would set your hair and maybe have a low ponytail with a cute barrette if going casual, if not , how about a french roll at the back ?

You're very welcome!! I always enjoy sharing my hair knowledge, I've come across alot of girls who have great do's but are real snobby when asked how they did it, it's almost as if they're selfish and want to be the only ones with that style. That's why I love FL, everyone is so positive and supporting, a round of applause to all of you!!! :eusa_clap
