Hello Ladies,
I am new here and I adore the vintage look. Unfortunately, I currently don't have the funds to reconstruct my wardrobe so feel that hair and make up is the way to proceed.
BUT, no matter what I do or try I can't achieve any of the looks that you lovely ladies do so well :-(
Before someone redirects me to threads of tutorials/setting patterns or other queries I have tried them!!! I have had nearly 2 weeks off work(holiday before year ends) and have tried and tried. I have hot sticks - tried with mousse, setting lotion and nothing, I have tried pin curls, but can't get those pesky ends to tuck in, wet or dry. I have tried victory rolls with my badly "hot sticked" hair and still not had any joy!
I had my hair cut last month by a hairdresser who followed the diagrams I printed and took in, but as an amateur I don't know if she followed them to the letter.
I am just fed up with not achieving a satisfactory set and am so tempted to give up and go back to the norm.
If anyone has any helpful hints I would be extremely grateful, and I have been through the hundreds of posts on hair styling etc, and believe me some of the threads on this subject are hundreds of pages long!!
Sorry for the desperate plea......but I don't know how/what else to try or am I just one of those butter fingers who have to go see a professional to get the required look
