Hair Help, Please? =)
Hi there!
I've posted maybe...once before.
I gave a shot at rolls about a year ago...they were messy and far from perfect, but I loved them anyway.
Usually, the only time I pull of vintage hair (or, for that matter, ANYTHING more complex than a variation on a ponytail) it is because I had a friend or my hairstylist do my hair for me.
I am not much for playing with my hair MYSELF, and therefore, I have very little by the way of hair supplies, and even less by the way of talent and patience!
But I love vintage dos, particularly 40s and 50s styles.
Recently, I got a hair cut and brought back some bangs to my forehead...something that has been a little scarce on me for the last 16 years.
This Saturday, my family plus my boyfriend is going to take a vacation in Seaside, OR, and I wanted to look cute for my time at the beach.
My pale skin combined with red lipstick and some sunglasses would go PERFECT with an awesome vintage hairdo!
And so, here is where you guys come in to play. I am looking for some simple suggestions for some 40s-style hair that I can work on this week to be adorable next week.
So you know, all that I really have to use is a curler that's probably as old as me (it was my mom's, who also does not do much with hair), bobby pins, hairspray, and pony tail holders. And, of course, hairspray. There's also some pomade in the house. Oh! I also have some little rag curlers, left over from a roll I did in high school. However, my hair does NOT hold curls very well unless a hot curler is used.
And here are some basic pictures of what my hair and bangs look like, so you can get an idea.
I like the rolls look, but I have so much trouble doing them, no matter HOW many tutorials I watch. I think I may work on them yet, though, as I have a huge scarf collection that could benefit from that. I would really like to find a simple look that would work with my bangs. Any help would be greatly appeciated!
Thanks in advance, and I LOVE the hair I see in here!!
My hair the day I got it colored and cut. My stylist used a straightener to curl it a bit. It looked so simple and yet I'm afraid that if I tried to do it, I would screw up bigtime...o.O
And a picture I literally took 5 minutes ago to show how my hair looks when all I do is comb it and let it dry!
