How I do my hair!

Hello everyone!
Since it has been a while since I've done a post about my personal vintage style, I thought I should do another post on my hair and how I set it. Especially because it is a bit different from the last hair post I did; my hair is longer than it was and I am using 1¼" pink rollers, rather than 1" black ones.
I didn't use any products other than Pantene shampoo & conditioner and Tresemme hairspray.

If you have an idea of how you want your hair to look, keep in mind it may have ideas of it's own. If it's being temperamental, just let it do what it wants and work with it.
When I like the way a wave or curl is moving, I hold it with a clip and spray.
Then I remove the clip when the hairspray is dry or when I'm finished styling.
Spray!
And done!
Happy rolling!

How I Do My Hair!

Good Day, my dears!

On one of my previous posts, I was asked how I do my hair. Now, I know most vintage enthusiast gals do their hair in pincurls because it's the most authentic method for almost every era. Pincurls are a wonderful, timeless way to set your hair in a vintage style. However, I find they don't work as well for me, so I use foam rollers. For this set, I am using 1" foam rollers. [I also have 1¼" and 1/2" foam rollers. I usually use 1¼" but since I didn't sleep in this set, I went a size smaller.]

Thank you to Miss Maple, she helped my uploading photos issue!
Without further ado, here is my set!

I have dyed, straight, fine hair with some breakage at my roots.
I wash my hair daily [typically at night] because my hair gets oily.
My hair in this set is dry for the most part.

I divide my hair in 3 sections vertically.
I start at the front with the center row first, then work on the sides, rolling back.
I may have spritzed my hair after rolling all of them.
[4/5 water, 1/5 Tresemme Curl Hydration?]



I waited about 4-5 hrs to take them out.

I try and find waves, the top being the easiest to harness.


 
And that's about it!
My setting pattern is very basic.
Sometimes I roll the front forward, but I don't notice much difference.
Happy rolling!
