How the magic happens...

I was home from work today being sick. BLAH! I hate being sick, I hate missing work. I don't trust substitutes with my classes. I am also off tomorrow for a planned personal day. I hate missing work 2 days in a row. My classroom will be a mess when I get back on Friday.

After sleeping all day today, I am now wide awake and decided it's the perfect time to give this hair tutorial by the Vintage Starlet a try! I sprayed my hair with some lotta body, rolled my hair up in perm rods and sat under my vintage hair dryer for an hour!




Golly jeepers





Not to bad for a first experimental attempt! All in all, I like using perm rods. The curl is much nicer and fuller then when I use a hot rollers. I'm gonna experiment a little more with brushing out and see what other looks I can get.

  7. Honestly thats terrific - and I have to be honest. My mom had a dryer - a bonnet dryer and for someone with hard to deal with and kind of frizzy hair a blow dryer is a disaster. A bonnet dryer and curlers rule.

    Ive not done it in ages. But its really so much better.

  8. Since everyone is gushing about your hair (I agree!) May I compliment you on your glasses? I broke my last pair and just spent a fruitless search at (ack) The Mall for some replacements. Didn't you mention you got some in Lititz?

  9. Dear Anon...Wow my first marriage proposal! It must be the glasses??? :)

    Andi B...Try looking at thrift shops, you might find one there.

    Mod Betty..Yes, I did get my pair in Lititz at a place called Leese eyewear. Got em this summer. Now that I think about it I've never taken a picture of them with me wearing them!

  12. Your hair is so pretty! I've got the vintage dryer - in aqua! - but I haven't tried it yet. I've never heard of using perm rods like this, but your hair turned out so beautiful, that I think I'll give it a go!
