My pincurl set. No rhyme or reason -- just wherever they fit. It never comes out looking like the books anyway. It looks like this:

13938_165796914163_624014163_2797120_6813042_n.jpg

No matter what, I can't get my center part straight to save the life of me. It ALWAYS goes off to my right. :(

And if I make the pincurls a bit bigger and lower down on my head it looks like this:

I'm still a novice. I've never done anything with my hair until the last few months. Really.

Your look is smashing, Amy Jeanne! I think you can graduate from novice, 'cause pincurls are difficult to master. The whole look is so 30's :)

Amy Jeanne- I agree with C-dot, I think you can graduate from novice! I'm scared of pin curl sets! They look like so much work. Looking at yours I think I would have given up after the first one. lol Your hair turned out great!

C-dot, I love your look you did from the Vintage Hairstyling book, very nice!

Oh my goodness, thank you so much! That is a very nice compliment! I love Liz, she is so stunning. My mom said I looked like her with my hair this darker shade, but moms are supposed to say things like that! Anyway, you made my night, thank you!

Not the best pic for this, but its what I've got! I had my hair vintage roller set Thursday for Halloween weekend as I wanted to be Marlene Dietrich in White Tie and Tails...

I wish I had taken a pic after I fluffed it some on Friday morning. I had this gorgeous big wave in the front section, but its hidden by my hat! Here is a pic taken Friday evening at a party, the curls had got fuzzier by last night-

I agree! I'd say you looked like a mix between Veronica Lake and Liz ;)

Thanks girls. You always look smashing, too. C-dot = the human old-school Barbie and Christy = the 1940s film noir look-alike.

Carey = always looking like she's having a good time! :D

Using Fleur's video and inspired by Inky I got myself a rat today to do the faux bangs. This is my first attempt and not perfectly smooth but I like it! I'm sure I'll do better next time.

Lovely hair do's ladies!

I am quite lazy doing my hair and i'm planning to have a permanent wave.
Does anyone have experiences of perm?

Here's one of my hair do's! I'm quite satisfied with the results.

I'm also happy with this 40's style hair do.

Holy cow Jirina, what a femme fatale! :eek:
I wish my hair was long enough to do that 40's 'do, and your fake bob is lovely!

DON'T GET A PERM! I was 14 when I got mine, because I wanted to put my pin-straight hair into large curls like yours. BAD IDEA. I looked like a French poodle - Not the effect I wanted, at all.

A perm, even if its loose, will take more effort because you'll still have to roll it. The only difference is the curls will stay in longer, but mousse or setting lotion achieves the same effect, and no damage.

I'm anti-perm, too! Don't do it! All the perms I've ever had have been "poodle"-y, like C-dot said! Nothing makes better curls than pincurls, I've come to find out!
