Wow! It looks like you haven't broke a sweat at all!! Fantastic hair

Holy mackerel, this thread is amazing! So many talented & pretty ladies! I'm going to be going through it for days...

I usually wear a sidepart, but today I thought I should try to part it in the middle. I'm quite pleased with the result.

The center part looks great on you! Also great set

The center part looks great on you! Also great set

Thank you! The set is my true and tried favourite one with standing pin curls:

Your hair looks darling Isis!

I set my hair like that often too. It looks great on you!
And great blog, thanks for the link.

Also I just got a new hair cut! It's just a quick set because I was so curious to see how it turned out.

(Sorry I can't figure out how to make the pic smaller.)

Isis, I just love that! Ginfizz - I wish you'd post a bigger picture to appreciate it!

This is my last nice hair-set before catching a cold





Couldn't resist it - It's just so hard to try for a nice smile and catch a good view of your hair!

 

[rue]

Really really cute! So smooth too

 

[Juliet]

That means a lot, coming from you, Rue, thank you! As for the smoothness - coconut oil-based pomade seems to do the trick. If only superhuman effort wasn't involved, when calculating the amount

Henry Gondorff, why thank you!

Juliet - your hair looks amazing! Am so jealous, having just started to get into vintage hair styles, I'm struggling to achieve anything that I would leave the house with! Any hints and tips for a newbie??

Me?? Well, thank you

*writing down coconut oil-based pomade*.... Thank you for the tip

Miss C, thank you very much! I can only give so much advice, but I guess, what I would advise is:

1. Look at this channel. It helped me a lot in figuring out the basics!

2. Rollers aren't for everyone. I still don't get a good result with rollers - only with pins.
3. Maybe your hair likes to be set wet with a setting lotion/mousse. Maybe it likes being set dry, and then sprayed with water. Just experiment.
4. I only get good results with overnight sets. An hour gives a pretty slight wave for me but that's it.
5. Try different setting lotions/mousses, etc.
6. Don't give up! And keep brushing!
7. Different brushes do wonders in brushing out. For example - I brush the curls out with a bristle brush, then I spray all over with hairspray, brush gently with a wire brush (with those little rounds balls on the ends, am I making sense?), and I pin the bangs in place as I would like them to stay. And after about 15 min I remove those pins.

I'm sorry for being less than informative, but I hope this helps!

Rue, you can't deny it - you are an inspiration! And be careful with that pomade - a tad too much, and it's greasy! But with the right amount the result is very impressive, best I've ever got.

 

[rue]

Aww... I don't know what to say except thank you Juliet

I'll make sure not to use too much

 

[Miss C]

Thanks for all the advice Juliet, am going to have to keep trying! xx

 

[ginfizz]

Juliet, I have no idea what happened. At first it was huge and then I thought I resized it just a little and it became really tiny.

By the way your hair looks wonderful!

 

[Juliet]

Ginfizz, thank you!
Say, is that a middy? It looks wonderful!
