Show us your hair do's....

[Katinka von K.]

Hi, I'm another long time lurker, and this is my very first post, as well as my very first vintage set. Up until a week ago, I had hair down to my bra strap, and quite unmanageable. Last Tuesday I had it cut in the best approximation of a middy I could get my stylist to do, and this is the result of putting it in simple sponge rollers and keeping it overnight. I got very frustrated while curling, but the result isn't too bad for a first time set in my book...

I do hope this image posting turns out ok.
edit: I was also going to apologize for the webcam pics, I don't have a digital camera on me at the moment.

Welcome to the lounge, PoppyHeart! Your first set looks pretty perfect to me . All in all your look is very classy, like you popped out of a hollywood movie.

Beautiful, Poppy! Lovely hair and it really suits you.

Aww, thank you so much, everyone... It's very encouraging for an amateur like me.

Being not nearly as adept and patient as the 'serious' hair girls, I was delighted to find I could get a reasonable semblance of 20s/30s curls with the hot sticks I bought from our Kitty Twister. I'm happy enough with the haphazard look; imagine how excited I'll be when I actually develop a technique.
(Sorry it's so huge; I resized on photobucket, but the link keeps displaying as this size.)

I actually managed quasi victory rolls today.

I support the idea of a "like"-button!

Went in for a touch up and my stylist added a bit more red. I think I may take the leap and do mostly red with a few dark streaks.

For a dance on Oct 20, finally went to a stylist friend who always does her own hair fantastic for vintage and historical dance events. I wanted it very Myrna Loy from the 1941 film Shadow of the Thin Man. I thought I didn't have enough hair of my own, so I had just re-colored my hair to match a hairpiece I already had. She said my own hair was enough. The first thing she told me was that for vintage looks, she had to recut my hair. First she showed me how to style it for modern everyday, then she did her vintage styling magic! I kept saying, "This cannot be my hair!"

this is after I brushed it out the next morning, I'd love to have my hair look like either of these styles every day!

I noticed as I get older my hair has thined out a bit do to hereditary. So now I no longer have thick hair. I learned I can still style my thin hair in 1940s-1960s styles. Here is a 1960s hair style I have been sporting.
Here is the top of my hair http://s253.beta.photobucket.com/user/katia357/media/hair1.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2
Next is the full effect http://s253.beta.photobucket.com/us...g.html?&_suid=1352418030707037654116849539815
Here is the back of my hair. http://s253.beta.photobucket.com/us...pg.html?&_suid=135241810861608767100563248538 I put my hair in a half ponytail, pushed the ponytail up to give the top of my hair a mini behive look. Then I pin curled the end and pined the curl to my head flat. Sprayed with hairspray and used layrite pomade to smooth the sides of my hair http://www.amazon.com/Layrite-Deluxe-Pomade-4-oz/dp/B004AMCBQA and brushed the ends over my hands, I did not curl my hair since my hair has a natural wave to it.

A side by side picture of my Mom and I. She was 18 years old at the time and I am, eh hem, a lot older than that now. lol After I posted the picture she told me how she used to do her hair. She basically teased it to the point of it all standing on end. Then combed it into submission.

After my new hairdresser went a little wild with the thinning shears, I ended up going from a 30s waved style to a 20s Eton Crop. I've decided to embrace the garçonne look for a while. Excuse the grainy instagram pic. Anyway, my motto right now is: Bring on the kiss curls!

I like it it's a really cute cut!
