Trolling around the internet last night I came across an old post from the livejournal group, Vintage Hair.
Its a pretty solid tutorial on finger waves, which I have always been so-so at accomplishing.
I thought to myself, why? Why don't I fingerwave my hair more often? It fits the era I love perfectly.
So began my testing stage:
Clamp those babies down with Wave Clamps:
Grab a glass of wine, a bonnet dryer, and a book with 30s inspiration pictures
(alter this step as needed):
I pincurled the bottom and the back of my hair, so I brushed those out FIRST
then I patted the finger waves smooth with my hand. NO BRUSH!

All in all, the evening before (the wine andthe book) the waves turned out like rubbish, so I had to re-set it.
The "after" picture was from today, on the way to the farmers market!
I had a date with my son and he looks quite pleased over the whole event
I also forget every time I post, to share with you fine friends, my very first pair of high waisted shorts.
I dont like shorts, I have not worn a pair of shorts since I was somewhere near 10 years old. It's still taking some getting used to, but I am loving the high waisted wonderful-ness of it all:

you are adorable!
Oh, fantastic! I have struggled with pin curls for a bit, because I have super straight silky hair, but I am getting it bleached this weekend which will make the texture easier to work with (and the colour more fun :D ) I can't wait to try finger waving, so far it has just seemed too hard, so thanks for the ink and the tips! I love the hair dryer hood too, that's awesome!
I have no luck with waves or pin curls either but your hair looks fabulous!
Lovely.

Those waves look fantastic!
