ATTENTION: In this post you will see a number of offensive unsightly crimes - horrendously chipped nails, frizzy crazy hair and badly taken pictures. I tried my best, I promise! This is my first hair tutorial
ever and (I think) my first personal picture post on this blog so
please be kind! :-D To be honest, the pictures are just there for reference as this style is not just easy peasy to do but also simple to explain!
I am forever searching for tutorials that are aimed at girls with
naturally curly hair. The only ones I've seen tell you to basically straighten your lovely curls out and then artificially add BACK curls!? Now that just seems ludicrous to me! Admittedly, most of the time I do blow dry my hair or completely reform my curls with hot rollers etc, but I've recently been on a quest to find vintage hair styles that don't require all this tugging and pulling because ultimately it does start to ruin and frizz your natural curls - and nobody wants that, do they?! I know each girls curls (unintentional rhyme, who's complaining;D) are different - some are perfectly formed with minimal frizz and others (like mine) have a mind of their own and a lotta fuzz! I use to hate my natural hair but I soon realised that the more you work against it the more it works against you! Don't get my wrong if I wanna feel a bit more 'done up' or want to break out some fancy victory rolls of course I'll blow dry it but that's only to smooth the hair so I have a better base to work with for sleeker styles, but blow drying this thick frizzy mane takes a lot of time and effort and to be quite frank I'd rather been drinking tea and eating biscuits then attacking my barnet!
Now, I wasn't trying to specifically recreate a style here because last time I checked I couldn't find any Hollywood sirens with the same locks as Moi! (I'm sure there were a few but they probably had hairdressers to hide the frizz!). But here is a rough general idea of some similar styles and who other than Betty Grable for some killer inspiration!
