Help! Hair!

[bettybabe]

Awe, thanks, Madison Paige! *::blushing::*

I just bought a new red nail polish and I'm so stoked. I also just bought some snap on magnetic rollers. It says on the package that they're bouffant rollers. They're not electrical or anything and I can't sleep in them because they're big and plastic, so I'm guessing I just roll my hair in them when my hair is damp with some gel in it, and then blow dry them while in the rollers? Any suggestions, Dolls?

Such a pretty girl!
I think the bouffant rollers might give you too large a curl - on me, they would make my hair straighter! How big across are they?
Check out the pincurls thread - you can sleep on pincurls, as they lie flat on your head. Blow drying is never very kind to hair, and I find I don't get as lasting a set as if I let it dry on its own.

AH! I LOVE the pin-curls posts I just read! Now my head is swimming with all kinds of ideas, thanks, Miss 1929!!! Pictures to be posted soon after I get it right!

Hello, doll, and thank you for your lovely response! Okay. I get those sponges from NYC (from Ricky's NYC). You can get the 'net' type ones on the net from the VermontCountryStore (dot com). Alternatively, I also use the foam parts of those 'foam and plastic' curlers (you know the ones I mean...the ones that have the foam and you sort of clip the plastic bit around it). But - as it's your wedding - and if you can't find the proper foam rolls (which I swear by), send me your mailing address and I'll pick you some up the next time I'm in NYC (which will be next week). My email address is:

Oh! And the ragtime I'm listening to is some Andrews Sisters rag ('Greatest Hits', I'm guessing.) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You can get the foam ones like in Amanda's video at Sally Beauty Supply.

Don't forget you can make your own.. save the hair from your brush until you can wad it up. Then sew some tulle around it or slip it inside pantyhose.
