Show us your hair do's....

I had a half-blue-black half-white mohawk for a long time, and I used a Clairol toner that was amazing! I used a violet toner. For me, toner goes on already-bleached hair, not into the mix. I believe this is how everyone does it? Maybe not, but that's how I did it at home and how hairdressers did it for me at salons.

Here is my hair today, after doing the tutorial that Juliet and LittleMissToniJo requested...

 

[Gracie Lee]

Please to note: yes, she always looks that cute! I've seen her get ready, and it's a little nauseating how easy she makes it look Love ya!

Girl! LOL... OK, fine. Yes, you HAVE seen it in person.
You're sweet.

Here's the tut...

 

[Juliet]

And thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll definitely will be trying to achieve this all week lol

 

[LinaSofia]

great work on the tutorial Tatum! Love how your hair looks, that little 'fake roll' effect you did was great! I'm gonna have to try that now..

LittleMissTonijo, you look amazing - love how your set turned out! especially the tight little curls at the back! perfect

 

[Tatum]

And thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll definitely will be trying to achieve this all week lol

You're welcome!!! It was fun... However I was worried about my total dorki-ness coming out the whole time

Thanks, Lina! I am still trying to perfect your scarf roll, I can't thank YOU enough for posting that!

We need a tutorial thread....

WOW
Ok #1 - Thank you girls so much, all of you! I just read through so many nice responses and I wasn't expecting them! This forum is such a nice place

2nd - Tatum I'm in love with your video! I really hope you make more... you have such a relaxed and sweet personality, it was fun to watch. Also since you used sponge rollers, this is something I might actually be able to do! Thanks so much for this!

 

[Isis]

Tatum I'm currently green with envy. My hair hates to be put up in rolls.

You are so welcome! I am thinking of starting a tutorial thread, as there are soooo many good ones out there, and I'm sure that the ladies here that are new to vintage would appreciate all those things in one place. I have a list worked up for myself, so I might just refine it and post it.

As for the sponge rollers, you could use anything for this. I just happen to be a dunce with pincurls, even though I have been doing my hair in vintage styles since 2008.... Ask Gracie Lee. She gets to hear me whine about it all the time!

Of COURSE you can do it. Like I said, it was a total accident. I love hairstyles like that!

And yes, we are lucky to have such a great group of people here. I spent a year lurking before I joined, and I am so glad I did.

Also, I keep forgetting to tell you, LMTJ, that I love your hair! Especially your avatar. It makes me want to chop all mine off again!

Isis, try it like I did in the tut. The real trick is to not break up the curls as much as most styles.

Whoahh. That's really awesome!
Love the picture itself, too!

I think a tutorial-thread is an excellent idea!

I shall try!

 

[Tatum]

Thanks, Berlin! You always look so polished, and I adore your blog. I wish I could commit to actually posting stuff on mine as opposed to using it for a Lounge depository...

Isis, post pics when you do try, I would love to see!

I am slogging through my bookmarks to find the best tuts, I will try to start that thread tomorrow...

 

[Kitty_Sheridan]

Tatum that's gorgeous!!!! Did you finish the style with any product at all or is that 'au naturel'?

Thanks, Kitty!
I used pomade to keep the frizzies down, but no hairspray.

 

[LittleMissToniJo]

Tatum - I attempted to do your tutorial this morning but I am crap at reverse rolls!!! I will post a picture later on... I guess it's not bad for a first try but I definitely am going to have to give it another go!

I can't wait to see! Try lisafreemontstreet's reverse roll tutorial... She is amazing at explaining things. They take some practice

Alrighty, here is second and third day hair from the tutorial set... Sorry about the HUUUGE pics, for some reason WordPress doesn't want to give me smaller stuff to work with and I don't feel like digging into the code right now. Also forgive the lack of makeup in the first two, Wednesday was spent as a beekeeper and doing general chores around the garden and house.

Third day (today):

 

[Isis]

You hair looks lovely on all those days, Tatum!

Oh that's very neat again! And lovely blouse (?) on the last photo's, too!
