Again I find myself praising woman of the past for their efforts in looking good every day! The results are amazing with pin curls, they can take a good amount of time to put in but they hold very well and are super comfortable to sleep in, unlike rollers. Hair tends to dry faster in pin curls then in rollers, and my hair holds moisture so the faster drying, the better.
I cheated last night and used rollers, mom took care of the back for me because it was late and I was lazy!
Today is Joe's company picnic out in Framingham, MA and I thought it would be fun to give myself some retro curls. Not to mention how very much Joe adores me in curls!
I can't imagine doing pin curls every 2-3 days like those amazing ladies from the forties! Life moved at a much slower pace back then, there was just time for that sort of thing. Now it's run here, run there, yadda yadda yadda!
In closing:
Perms suck, they are the very lazy way out and almost always end up looking like crap. If you want a truly vintage look, go for the real deal, Pin Curls! If you are in a rush, only use the pin curls around your face for that nice tight bouncy curl and use rollers in the back to help blend the curls. It is also fun and fast to put your hair in a nice high, tight ponytail at night, spritz with water and use rollers in your tail, wrap your head with a scarf tightly, followed by a sleep cap and VOILA' ... retro chic without the fuss!
