I couldn't ever pull off Betty bangs either, Lenore. Enroll me in that Cowlick Club! lol Very lovely on you, Antje. Looks like you cut off some length, too?

Just lovely, as always! And i didn't even notice the grey until you mentioned itMissHannah said:

My hair is just long enough to set again so I did a dry-set overnight and got this:
I lightened them so you can see the curls. Also, you can just about the grey streak I am cultivating at the front in the parting.

I use rollers and just roll down and back and I get a lot of body but not really any curls unless I mess with it and pin it and spray it and pray for it and etc etc etc
MissHannah said:I'm so into the grey. I'm trying to cultivate a proper streak but it's taking ages for the dye to grow out on that one patch (I'm still dyeing the rest of it) so may get my hairdresser to strip out what's left of the red permanent dye I used before I went brunette.

MissHannah said:Thanks all!
I used velcro rollers on the top and down the back and flat pincurls on the sides (this makes it comfier for sleeping!). I used 20mm rollers on the top, graduating down through 15mm to 9mm at the bottom of my hair at the back where it is shortest. Some bits were still too short at the very bottom and I curled those quickly with a very small curling iron in the morning.

I can't do a wet set because my hair never dries and is frizzy. next time I try it I'll use wave clips but I decided to do this on a whim. My hair is super dark put I am hoping you can see the waves.
Grant Fan said:Annie I have VERY thick VERY curly hair too. I use a frizz serum from pureology called shine max on the portion before it is going into a roll then I hold the piece straight up and stray it down with Aqua Net. I also comb through just the section the be rolled with my rat tail comb, and I make sure the ends are nice and tame before I roll. Any heavy product like a pal made or anything silicone based will help a lot. Feel free to message me and I can give you a list of the products I use on a regular basis.
Ladies I must day I feel like the odd man out I love my curls. In fact i don't ever straighten them unless my hair dresser wants to o that when i go in for a hair cut. But anyway I love my curls and wouldn't trade them for the world.
