I just adore Christina Hendricks 40's hair on the cover of GQ : Here.

Here is more British GQ pics and an interview with her.

It makes me wish for a 40's era "Mad Men series". The Veronica Lake look works so well on Hendricks

me today:
still working on the back but i gave up after this.

Real nice do, I like the rolls in the back

ok at home and decided to play with my hair today and have a go at those fingerwaves...not having any waveclips etc I made do with pin curl clips

bonnet dryer...mmmm such a good look lol

and the final wave

not too bad, I normally like a curlier style and the back still has to flick up as its still too short to do anything else. Tried to get a pic of the back but couldn't contort myself enough to get a decent shot...

My attempt yesterday morning before work....

i really love this look OneandOnly. is it pinned into a faux bob or is it just the lovely large curls that have gone under so brilliantly?

 

[OneAndOnly]

Well thank you Jasmine Jolene! A mix of big curls and some under pinning! I used Nicky Clarke bendy hot stick thingys that I got on ebay for like 5euro and any of the looser curls I pinned under! And *LOTS* of hairspray...surprisingly it lasted the entire day! although I did have to add a few more pins during the course of the day!

Your hair looks adorable, love the bow. Could you tell me what lipstick you are wearing too? Very pretty colour. x

 

[crazydaisy]

i honestly don't know, make up was done for me, all with benefit products, the lipstick is one of the silky finish lipsticks they do, if you really are interested i can ask - it was a nice one yes, although perhaps not quite the thing for my 20s inspiration

 

[Miss sofia]

Thanks Daisy, i just thought the colour was lovely and soft, I'm going up to London next weekend so i'll have a look, i'm always on the lookout for good lipstick colours,(but you looked stunning regardless - as always) x

 

[baby_butterfly]

CrazyDaisy I love the polka dot bow, adds the perfect touch :eusa_clap


Ladies... Can I ask, do you think a vintage look can be acheived using naturally curly hair?? If so how?? Or do you feel a set is nesscary?? I LOVE my natural curls it has taken me so long to find a routine that works, it wuld be a shame to give it up.

 

[MissHannah]

Had my hair chopped short a few weeks ago and I've been having some trouble getting it to look the way I want as most of it is too short to set. But I got it looking ok yesterday:

 

[Smuterella]

^ that is lovely Hannah, very 50s sewing pattern! x

 

[MissHannah]

Haha! You know me so well Smuts - that is, of course, exactly what I was going for

 

[Smuterella]

It really does though, that sweep toward the back is PERFECT.
