Finger waves for long hair


How To Make Finger Waves Styling Steps ~ 1930's Vintage Finger Waves



  • Shampoo your hair and towel dry.

  • Use a generous amount of hair gel or mousse and work the product evenly through your hair.

  • Begin your waves wherever you desire and start by laying your middle finger flat along your locks.

  • Use your comb and press it against the edge of your finger working in section about the size of an inch.

  • With the teeth down, pull the comb sideways against your finger creating a ridge.

  • Make certain you do not lift the comb during this process.

  • Lay your index finger beside your other finger and press the ridge firmly.

  • Move the comto a vertical position and comb your tresses out and curve in the other direction.

  • Move your middle finger so you can form the ridge as long as you wish it to be.

  • Skip the space of about two fingers and create another ridge.

  • Follow the direction of the wave directly above the one you are now making.

  • You can form your waves as far down as you would like.

  • Carefully run a comb through your waves and you will be left with a stunning pattern like Greta Garbo’s.

Things you can do to be a modern pin up wife

1) Wear your favorite shade of red lip stick, a flower in your hair and false lashes all day, as you run errands.

2) Wear cute shoes an apron and a cute outfit as you serve dinner to guests...try it ONCE LOL!

3) Wear your freshly washed hair, up like this:

As you work around the house all day, with the kids. Take your hair down right before hubby comes home. You'll have big sexy waves and it will smell so pretty too.

4) Bake an easy dessert and serve it after dinner.

5) Dress up in different outfits and ask your hubby or a good friend to take several pictures of you. Don't stop at 2 or 3 pictures. Try taking 50 pictures or more. You may find a few in that large bunch that you like.

Enjoy!

Audrey Hepburn inspired hairdo


This look can be recreated in a more modern version, by girls with shoulder length or longer, hair.

Doesn't necessarily need to be recreated with dark hair, but as you can see, it does look more like Audrey's hair when you do have dark hair. (My recommended products are listed as links below)

STEPS:

1) Put your hair in hot setters or curl your hair with a 1 1/2" Curling iron to add some waves. The waves don't have to be perfect. The waves will add texture. You should have texture in your hair for this look.

2) Spray your waves with hair spray.

3) Section your hair for a pony tail, leaving the front part for bangs later.

4) Put your hair in a high pony tail, but don't pull your hair all the way through. Leave the ends tucked in the hair band.

5) Use the curling iron to curl any loose ends and neaten the look.

6) Take your bangs or "bangs", brush them to the side and spray them with hair spray.

7) Seek out the fly aways or imperfections and make corrections. I suggest you use a 2nd mirror to get a good look at your hair.

8) Top it all off with a glittery hair clip or faux crystal/diamond clip and some large sunglasses :)
(Cigarette holder and cigarette optional)

Change of plans!

I got a whooooleeeee lotta requests for skin care, rather than entries to my previous posting request. I can't believe it!!! I am kinda bummed, but kinda excited to go through with my video to accommodate the requests. I guess more people have skin concerns than good pictures of their skin. Hmmmm.... We shall see what I will do. Last chance though, if you change your mind!

Here is my previous blog:

Body scrub smells good enough to eat!

YES! I just received my order of LaLicious body scrub!



I got the Sugar and the Brown Sugar & Vanilla ones.



I can't wait try them and do video reviews on them later. They smell so good, I almost want to eat it from the jar, like cookie dough!

If you want to check out more about each, click here for the SUGAR and here for the BROWN SUGAR &VANILLA.

I love stuff that makes me smell yummy! I wish Youtube had a smellovision feature...mmmmm!

Yum, they also have:
Coconut cream
Lily Mango
Passion Fruit Lime
Island Guava
Tahitian Flower
Peppermint
Coffee Bean

What I do

I make hair tutorials on YouTube. But I created this blog to connect with my fellow writers/bloggers. I've also created a myspace account, but I don't like the format for blogging. I'd rather blog here. As far as something to note about me: I rarely have will power when it comes to dieting. I'd rather eat what I want, but in moderation. I like girly stuff, but I don't like doing my own hair. I rarely do my own hair, so if you saw me in the street, you'd probably not recognize me. But if you ever saw me, I would love it if you came to say hi. Thanks for reading my blogs.
