"Lazy" Vintage Hair Ideas

I think I'm stuck with bangs forever.

Every time I do manage rolls, I am so distracted by all the little fuzzies lining my hairline at my forehead... I don't have a clean hairline, I have all these baby hairs that won't go into a roll or anything else. They're fine and wispy, and not new growth, they're just there, always have been. Annoying me.

Bangs cover them, and give my face a clean look. I haven't so far liked rolls *with* bangs, so it's one or the other so far.

What the heck can one do with these fine baby hairs? I've only been without them back when I bleached out the underside of my bangs to put in color and the baby hairs dissolved. But they grew back. Bah.

I have 'em too and I spray the heck out of them with hairspray and smooth them back into the roll. spray enough they'll stay :). drives me crazy too.

My hair is really curly so stuff just kind of slides off [huh] , I think I might try sewing bobby pins or combs on to a scarf.

Have you tried making an X with bobby pins? It's incredibly stable and isn't going anywhere, and it's a lot easier than actually sewing pins onto your scarf.

Killer, try doing a forward or more angled roll in the front to cover your pesky hairs, and you can still go back on the sides.

I could you explain how you did this? This style would help me allot! What do you do with the ends?

That sounds cute, do you have a picture?

Here's a quick summer nape roll:

Here is the new style of foam bun rat. Isn't it awful? If anyone knows a place I can order a net one, please let me know.

There are a couple ways. If your hair is long, just start at the ends, wrapping it around itself, then bobby-pin it in place. If it's short, use a ratt. Also, you can us a rag or scarf, tie it around the ends, then twist the hair around it until at the roots and tie over your head. I always end up with loose wispy bits by the end of the night though. Maybe somebody has advice about avoiding that?
We should all do some more YouTube demos here.

Ok, whats the Amelie look? As in the movie Amelie?

I loooove my new haircut! I've been growing out my hair from a short Audrey-esque cut, and it just recently got long enough at the top for me to bob it...perfect, because I have a 1920's studio shoot at the end of the month. It's just a classic bob with blunt baby bangs.

It's so easy to manage, but I can do so many cute styles with it! When I just let it be, I get an adorable Amelie look. I curled it yesterday (with an iron because I was on the go...have yet to pincurl it), and loved the look. I love it clipped up in a barette or wrapped in a scarf. I'd post pictures if I could, but my personal computer blew up a few days ago. I'll be sure to post some images from the upcoming shoot, though!

Yeah, ive had way too many lazy days lately... i just put my hair up in a pony tail and its so small. I want to get some of those combs so i can pin up the sides with them.

I really just need to stop being lazy or become rich so someone can do my hair all the time.

You can also make a ponytail, then divide the hair in two just above the pony a bit and flip the pony inside and pin.

i love your hair in your picture.
i am so clueless as to how to make those wonderful worldly wonderous curls on the top of your head. I have attempted the art of it, but no cigar.GAH !

forget the hair color. I want her eye color!

And I want her flawless porcelain skin!

There are too many gorgeous fiery redheads on this board, I'm having serious hair jealousy!
