I've recently had great advice from several different people to look at yearbooks for inspirational vintage hair pictures. As a technophile my first thought was not the local library but the Internet and so I bring you... Ohio University's Digitalized Yearbooks!

I originally posted this in vintagephoto but someone suggested I post this here. I'm doing a photo scanning project of all my old family photos, and my Grandfather had a box of photos from the 1940s, and in it were a bunch of pictures of women. Here they are ( Read more... )

Hi again! I know, I know. Two posts in less than a week. This isn't much different from the style I'd posted previously, but my husband and I finally used an hour photoshoot package from one of those group deal sites last night, so I thought I'd share what it looks like with proper makeup, hair, composition and lighting.

So I recently had a photoshoot and I got my hair professionally done. We did three victory rolls ontop. Which was alittle odd cause I don't think three rolls looks very.. symertical. But in the end they turned out wonderful. She rolled my hair around a can of hairspray to form the roll, which is a fantastic idea, but they weren't as tight as I do ( Read more... )

Hi Ladies

I had a shoot for Greenspans clothing last night and I put my bangs back and hid all of my blonde with some clip in extensions I made from human hair wefts and wig clips. I liked the outcome. I wish you could see the roll better though.
