Pin up Girl Hot Roller Set

Hello everyone,

this is Day4 of my vacation and as I was bored today and coloured my hair yesterday I thought "Hey, let´s make a hot roller set and snap some photos!!!". So here is a little tutorial :-)

So... For the total noobs:

Big hair rollers=volume, so I mostly use the on top of my head.

Medium rollers: wave, so most of the time I use them at the sides.

Small rollers: curl. I mostly use them at the bottom as this is also the section where my hair starts hanging out the soonest.
For protecting your hair you spray on a setting spray designed to protect your hair from heat. Before rolling it. I took a rather light one today, but there are hardcore ones around ;-) If you have naturally poker straight hair it also doesnt hurt to give your hair some overall hairspraying once everything is rolled up.

Once you unroll, it all looks rather eeeeeeek! No worries. some good brushing does the trick.

Height and Volume on top, Wavy sides, curly ends and please ignore the left over colour on my skin ;-)I put in a light streak yesterday, but Iam not sure whether I like it. Possibly I will colour over it once I have made up my mind....

I have the lovely book in my hands!!!

Hello everyone!

the past days were tough! yes, there was whit Monday so I had a day off, but yesterday and the day before I had to stay at work for 10 hours plus went to an short notice filming for the Dsigns store in my neighborhood (technically I ran home, because off course my train was late, smashed some make up in my face and tried to get some curl into my hair and ran off again. :-D) It was fun and we got it done quickly. I think we needed about 30 - 45 minutes to do my scene in it and it will be shown in a fashion show in Hamburg in July. I definately will get a hold of that video and share it on youtube <3

Anyway, today I had the first day getting home at my usual time and got to go to the Hairstyling salon André Cut Corner to pick up my copy of "Rock ´n` Hair"! Yay!!! It is very beautifully done and I heard it was already a big hit on Walldorf and the Petit Four Burlesque Show in Neuss. Next stop for the Rock ´n` Hair Team will be Custom Culture in Bottrop this weekend. If you can´t make it there you can still buy it on www.rocknhair.de It does not only feature 50s styles, but also 40s and 60s. Dont let the title fool you ;-)

Tearsheet Time!!!



AND: There are also 3 stylings for MEN in it. :-) Iam very very happy with the result and there are many beautifull and easy hairstyles in it.

The dresses worn in this book are by Dixifried, available at http://www.buy-unlike.com/ and Vivien of Holloway available on http://www.vivienofholloway.com/

Let´s bump it - with bumpits

There are days where I´m just lazy and can´t be bothered wih setting my hair. However I have the straightest and most boring hair one can imagine. And if I atempt to do a sleek 60s style and tease and tease and tease my hair and spray and spray and spray it with hairspray it will just sink down again within the next 2 hours. This SUCKS. So I was curious when I heard about bumpits. They are not available in Germany, but I got them on ebay for just a few bucks. What do those thingies look like and how do you use them anyway? To find the answer to this question check out this video by Super Kawaii Mama:




And here comes my review. (excuse the bad photo, but I was just about to leave for shopping, so I just snapped a self in the bathrom mirror). They are indeed easy to use. I just teased my hair, attached the bumpit under it and smoothed the hair over the bumpit. What I didn´t see however was that my hair was a bit too short for the huuuuge bumpit I took, hence I realised that one could see it a bit if you saw my back. By that time I was in town though and didn´t give a damn.

Next time I will use the one that is one size smaller or take a bigger hair-section. Besides that I find it fab. My hair stayed up and up and up eventhough I was changing in the dressingroom and pulled the sweater over my head. In my oppinion it is a good investment for lazy hair days!!! And also if you wanna go for a 60s look or an updo.

The next thing I wanna test is Benefits Dr. Feelgood vs. Shills Miss Perfect. They are supposed to do the same, let´s see who´ll be the winner.
