Hair Chronicles
Here is a style I wore last week. I styled my hair before I bleached my roots so please forgive that faux pas. I also have no makeup on in the first photo so I am not looking too lovely, but included an "after" makeup shot to help make up for the hidiousness in the first photo. Not saying I am any great beauty in the second... ah hell nevermind. To the hair...
I think you look beautiful in BOTH snaps. The hair is very nice too. I would love to see a back shot next time so I can really understand how you put it up. Also, did you use hot rollers or pin curls?
ReplyDeleteThanks. I always forget to take a shot of the back! I must start remembering to do that! If I remember correctly, I did a cold set with perm rods and dried it under the bonnet dryer for an hour.My hair is too thick to do proper pin curls and I have never had success with hot rollers (it straightens my hair oddly enough) but the plastic perm rods work great for me!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful do! You look lovely in both pictures!
ReplyDeletewow! i whish that i had skin like you so i could go without makeup. also, love the hair!
ReplyDeleteHa! I did a similar 'do while in England, but with the hairnet.
ReplyDeleteWhat product do you use when you do a set?
I had to use perm rods, was dreading sleeping in them... my hair came out really, really nice! I hardly had to brush it out to get the style I wanted.
You look positively splendiferous Lo! I wish I had your hair skillz.
ReplyDeleteBomshell... Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteBetty Lou... Don't be fooled, there was a bit of post editing to get my face online approved! LOL
Tayva... Hah! How funny! I want to see photos. Sleeping in rods doesn't bother me one bit. Perry made a comment about it once too.
Fleur... Thank you! Had my skills? Lady, I wish I had yours!!!
lovely! by the way, what's your lipstick brand/colour? It looks stunning (as does your hair)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! The lipstick is actually a cheapy lipstick that is almost better than everything else I have used. It is NYC aptly named Retro Red. I apply it with a lip brush for best results.
ReplyDeleteI love your colour!
ReplyDeleteDo you do it yourself? If so, what do you do?
I get my Mum to help with mine but I find that what might have worked well last time - doesn't this time because they have changed the instructions/formula/colour!
So beautiful! I love the volume you get! Do you place those curls? Or do they fall so beautifully naturally?
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog through queens of vintage, your hair is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say that I Adore your style and your hair expertise!! I was searching for pictures of Carole Lombard's hair and came across your blog. It's inspiring! :)
