40's hair
I love 40's style hair, so I found some pic's of my grandmother and went from there. This was my first attempt and it came out well I think. After some practice I really have it down now and can do many of the 40's style hair.

You can find how to's on youtube.....(wish I had known that before lol) Anyway have a go at it. They really are nice styles to do.

I love the combination of the modern colour and the vintage style.

lol yea it takes a bit to get them right but once you get it your good to go. I do suggest that when trying to do this hair style for the first time (and even after) it helps to use a curling iron. It makes it easier to roll.

Yea the pink dose look good with this style.
I've tried the hair rats but they didn't work as well for me so I just roll it until I like it then use lots and lots of bobby pins and hairspray. Though the drawback to using the hairspray is it slowly strips the pink out, but I have to re-color it every month anyway so no biggie. But yea, just as soon as I can find my web cam (I just moved)I'll do some how to's on 40's hair...maybe even one on how to color hair without damaging it.

you should check out the tutorial on Mooky Chick - theres a really good one using foam rollers. I love the fact that yours is with red hair - it kind of undates the look Happy

Wow, looks awesome. I've been trying to get my hair like that, but it hasn't worked so far, no matter how much hairspray I use :p
