A Video Tutorial - BOW Hair

I had several requests on my Instagram for instructions on how to create the bow style I have been wearing a lot lately, so I thought I would whip up a quick video tutorial so everyone can see how easy it is to accomplish. It works best on shoulder length hair, as you need a bit of hair to create the fullness of the bow.


You are going to need the following items to pull this off:

• A hair brush or comb
• Some Bobby pins / Kirby Grips
• A ponytail holder / Rubber band
• Hair spray

I hope you enjoyed this more than the person who commented that they hate my bangs on you tube.

30s Style Hair - You Can Do It!

I tried a new style for my hair today. I used Lauren Rennell's Vintage Hairstyling Book for a quick recap on how to finger wave. I finger waved the front section of my hair when I got out of the shower this morning. I then used Hot Sticks (two rows, curled UNDER) on the back. It was dry/cooled in about an hour. This hair style would work wonderfully in the morning if you have time before work! I think it turned out nicely, I will have to perfect it though...
Here is a quick video explaining it a bit more:


And here are a few before and after pictures, to give the full effect.
Hope you liked it, I will re-do a better more thorough tutorial soon, but my webcam is giving me the run around at the moment.

fast hair for the vintage girl

I am often crunched for time with my 2 kids, small business, and vintage selling on the side.
I thought I would share with you, my fast hair when I have not had time to pin-curl.
I think this style likely works best if you have a longer fringe, not "bettie bangs" or whatever those are called these days. But you may be able to back-comb shorter bangs into the side part.
Basically, I do a deep side part and use bobby pins to pin both sides back.
I then take hot rollers, (a curling iron will work too.)
and curl the bottom of my hair upward.
Hair Spray, and you are ready.
I think it turns out nice and simple, and fits well with vintage dresses even if its not entirely authentic.

Dont I look really sad in pictures? I am not sure why, but I always look like I am going through a bitter break-up in pictures.
