My curls don't hold at all - by the end of the day my hair looks like a frazzled birds nest! To top this off, I need a root touch-up! The only thing I have found that works best at the moment, is to sweep the hair on both sides of my head into victory rolls - it is just long enough to do that now, and seems be be pretty weather resistant.Incendiary Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528321687210279974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659360650582709851.post-67312069883853194422012-05-02T17:39:17.591-05:002012-05-02T17:39:17.591-05:00We!

I'm so...So totally hear you on the funk factor. I'm sort of wondering whether my level of frustration has to do with the weather, actually--I'm usually occupying myself with summer clothes transfer right now, but we got a crazy cold snap and I can't, so I'm back on my hairdo.<br /><br />I was in a serious funk a couple months ago and ended up chopping everything into a Louise Brooks bob, stacked back, short straight bangs and all...it's delightfully low-maintenance, but since my summer look has tended in the past toward a more fifties-sundress kind of thing I'm...not sure why I gave myself completely incongruous hair? I've been feeling the sixties thing lately so I guess I could pull a Twiggy by growing my bangs out, but gaaaasdlfkjasdlfkjasdihgbdsgh.<br /><br />The wispy top-puff you're talking about really seems more like it'd be achieved using backcomb-and-fluff techniques than roll-and-set ones (or rather, some of the latter added to the (vintage-hair-ubiquitous) former...it's sort of a more circumscribed form of Sixties hair bubble, rather than being a specific curl, but just on top of your head? I'm not describing myself very well here but I think you could totally do it, it'd just take some Hair Technique Scientific Method to sort it out.Lenora Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719454361141187505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659360650582709851.post-47242490986857170172012-04-25T11:16:25.081-05:002012-04-25T11:16:25.081-05:00Ive been going through a hair funk too.

I've been wrestling with the idea of cutting my hair in either the middy plus or the femme fatale.

I have friends who make '50s style B-movies (shameless plug: www.sainteuphoria.com), and I never know how to do my hair!

My pin curl sets weren't working anymore and my bangs were below chin length...not really bangs anymore. I went last night for a nice thinning out and proper cut. It's about an inch shorter than the femme fatale and feel amazing! My bangs got a little trim and I feel like I've lost 10 pounds on my head. When I'm in a funk, a thinning out and trim always makes me feel better. I love any variation on the middy because its so easy to work with and looks like a modern cut when unstyled.

I have coarse, thick hair. It resists curling and hair accessories literally pop out of it. I can't have bangs thanks to cowlicks. It can't be short or it will stick straight out.

I hav...I have been in a terrible hair funk as well. I have even done a few rash things lately to try and jolt me out of it. First I cut about 3 inches off so it was chin length, in hopes that this would make me more creative with it. I started growing out my bangs, but decided that looked horrible, so I cut them again. <br /><br />Then one of my coworkers asked me if I had a cowlick that make my bangs "do that" -- by which she means swoop to the side. Taking this to mean my bangs looked f-ed up, I parted my hair down the middle and cut my bangs to go straight across. So now I had a Clara Bow bob. This lasted for all of one day after I came home and sow how awful it looked by he end of the day. <br /><br />Now it's back to a middle/side part and sort of side parted bangs. Lots people people at work have complimented me on it, which I am taking to mean that my hair now looks very contemporary. Uhg. This is all compounded by the fact that I don't have time to curl my hair these days, so I am stuck with the "lazy hair" friendly styles. I totally feel your pain here, but now I've got a lot less hair and options due to my impulsive choices. I am actually considering getting a permanent so that I can do the short waved hair without having to embark on a huge undertaking each morning. But I'm scared. Perms have such a bad reputation, that I think is well-earned. I suppose at this point I have very little to lose. Well, just my hair.Moehttp://stitch.thosemoes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659360650582709851.post-32041619144007995742012-04-24T22:12:16.628-05:002012-04-24T22:12:16.628-05:00Argh, I can't believe you like my hair becuase...Argh, I can't believe you like my hair becuase I really dont like it at the moment...I think I'm in a funk too!Konad-licioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843311141841698675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659360650582709851.post-19570278708351309672012-04-24T22:02:00.828-05:002012-04-24T22:02:00.828-05:00Oh, I hear you!!

I adored having short, authentic 'dos, but I need my lazy day milkmaid braids, haha. And I'm also growing out the bangs I've had for the past four years... eep! <br /><br />Good luck settling on a style; I'm sure it'll look adorable no matter what :)Dakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955329474063496047noreply@blogger.com
