40s Style....
Hey all,
If you are wondering what I have been up to recently, well I have been trying to gather in a 40s style to attend some war time era events.
I seem to have misplaced most of my gear you see and now I need to start again. One change that has happened is that my hair is much longer now than when this picture was taken:
So now I need to think about Victory rolls and such....oh well, I will keep you all updated!!!

Pin curls
Ok quick hair update, Kester brought me this book:
It is available from Amazon so buy it, if you are a vintage hair beginner. If you are experienced it probably will be pretty useless for you, but for those of us who are hair lazy....it is perfect.
No black hair models though which is a shame but you can't have everything. Retro women of colour have had to learn to adapt anyway.
Anyway, the book is such an eye opener for the novice vintage hair styler. I have been using regular hair pins for my pin curls...duh....
Also, my fantastic, stylish Vintage friend Anna suggested a wrap lotion to use on my styles! Fantastic, not only a product that is created for black hair but also it is non aerosol. As an asthmatic and also a person concerned about Green issues, I was keen to avoid all the hairspray suggested in the book. The lotion and pin curl clips arrived in the post and last night I did my whole head except my fringe.
This is how it came out:

Updo number two
Ok, I thought I would give it another go, this time I slept with bendy rollers in the back and pin curls in the front, I then pinned the back hair up in a twist and then pinned the pin curls up separately towards the twist. I then pinned the fringe curl back. I really think I could have done better but please give me some feedback.

Hair
Well last night I was too tired/lazy to curl my hair before bed so decided this am to try an updo with the mess I awoke with.....can I just say....NOT easy!!!!
How on earth did women manage, I really do not know what I am doing and I would appreciate some help (bearing in mind that water...cannot be involved). I did pass by some fantastic blogs by some vintage sisters but I seemed to have mislaid them, if anyone can help me out I would appreciate it.
