I might just have to give that a try if I ever get too desperate for a picture to wait for someone else to be available to help.<br /><br />I do wear my hair up in a scarf at night when I've got pin curls in. Makes me feel like Rosie the Riveter-- kinda fun!<br /><br />@Phill: Go for it! Seriously, this book is worth every single penny. And if you're still early in the growing out process, you should try the finger waves-- it's very glamorous 20s/30s hair and is perfect for short hair!

It will block your facial features like the way my profile photo looks....... <br /><br />Yes, we used a lot of bobby pins back in the 50's when setting our hair. For sleeping on them, we put kerchiefs around our head and tied it in the front, like the Lucille Ball photos of same..... For the spit curles on the sides near your ears and the bangs we used scotched tape. Honest..... To hold the shape we used a jell, like the boys use to train their hair, which when home-made, was made out of a sugar water. The sugar becomes invisible and dissolves in the hot water.Ocean Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00304040660068244762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899143359943614919.post-60702926836728579422010-02-26T20:50:54.793-08:002010-02-26T20:50:54.793-08:00Oh I LOVE these!

The one pictured is one of my favorites.<br /><br />LJ: I'm actually in the process of a wierd grow out (from a pretty short cut with a stacked back. So, chances are, your hair would probably turn out better.<br /><br />Emily: I do use more hairspray with vintage hair than I normally do (which is none). But if you're going for a soft look, you could probably get away without using any hairspray at all. Pin curls set with just water have a lot of staying power, as long as you allow them to dry thoroughly.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784528619251594328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899143359943614919.post-28467178167893291212010-02-26T14:52:36.830-08:002010-02-26T14:52:36.830-08:00Stephanie, this is so you!

So cute.<br /><br />Do you have to use a lot of hairspray? This book sounds very interesting...it is tempting to learn something like this but not if hairspray is involved on a daily basis (for me).Emily Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723032114973576605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899143359943614919.post-1874333530867761042010-02-26T07:36:14.902-08:002010-02-26T07:36:14.902-08:00I think you were born a few years too late...You l...I think you were born a few years too late...You look authentic!hbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683905076154706575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899143359943614919.post-25181245885655109042010-02-25T22:10:36.915-08:002010-02-25T22:10:36.915-08:00Oh you are so beautiful.Oh you are so beautiful.Britneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09980045597487180964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899143359943614919.post-74252642992148085602010-02-25T19:16:56.696-08:002010-02-25T19:16:56.696-08:00you are so beautiful! and your hair looks amazing....you are so beautiful! and your hair looks amazing. i am going to try to get that book from my library. i love the styles of the 30's and 40's when women looked like LADIES. <br /><br />p.s.- i get the crazy eyes too. that is why i always crop my head off but that doesn't work when you are showing hair! :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148211919396920179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899143359943614919.post-61062800955779997382010-02-25T17:29:05.723-08:002010-02-25T17:29:05.723-08:00these are ridiculously adorable!
