Brittany from Va-Voom Vintage posted this fantastic easy-to-follow vintage hair tutorial last month and I have been wanting to try it out since I watched it.
Since my husband was home all day I figured I should take the opportunity to try it out. Of course I didn't finish it until 12:00am at night! Ugh! But it got done-well sort of hehe
Here is the tutorial:
And now here is my attempt:
There were some challenges I faced such as my hair was a lot curlier and a shorter in the front. I used my foam rollers and I am thinking perhaps I will start to use bigger rollers for the front of my hair. Not sure yet. The side was sooooo hard to do. I tried it four times and I just did my best. It was getting late and I just couldn't fuss with it all night long.
I'm really glad I tried it and Brittany's tutorials on Youtube are fantastic! She really breaks things down where it makes sense-ya know?
I haven't practiced my vintage hair in a month but now I must get back to practicing. I will not get any better if I don't keep at it! LOL
So what did you think? I hope you try it out for yourself as well!
xox
I'll do it for you when you're here! :) I'm glad you gave it a go and that it was easy to follow, at least! Sometimes, I feel like I'm rambling :P
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem with my hair, so I've noticed pincurls are a lot less difficult, if that helps at all? Hahah. But I really like the way your hair turned out. I think it looks really good!(: And I love her tutorials too! haha.
ReplyDeleteI find that rolls are one of the hardest things to do! Practice is key.
ReplyDeleteYour tutorials are one of best out there Britt! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI havent tried pincurls yet Paigey-one day heheeh
For sure-mastering vintage hairstyles is a must for every vintage gal. I wont give up!!! xox
You look lovely! I have a hard time with rollers myself. The solution for me is standing pin-curls, but as people hair differ, my best way may not be yours. here's how I do them, anyway:
