Hot Rollers


You know me, I'm always on the lookout for new ways to style my hair (pin curls, rag curls). Right now, I'm obsessing over retro waves a la Lana Del Rey and Veronica Lake, and I sort of know how to go about and create it after googling youtube tutorials but I haven't tried it out yet. What I DID try out a while ago was if my old-ass hot rollers were still working! I wasn't into getting electrocuted so I was cautious, but in the end I survived. Yeay! Dying is SO two thousand and late. And the curls were actually OK, cute even. Next time I'm brushing them out to get me some proper Lana waves.




I rolled my rollers like this but I don't think the way you roll them makes a huge difference. Any tips on hot rollers or Lana waves?

  5. Hello hello :) Do you use any product on your hair when you curl it - or just water/heat? If you don't then it might be an idea to as it will give you a much better hold. If you don't want to use anything strong on your hair like a setting lotion- then I can recommend either a leave in conditioner or there is a recipe for a natural home made setting lotion from me here: http://bit.ly/xqbgO0

    I would recommend sleeping in, possibly, rags overnight and then brushing out. Might be an idea to use a bit of heat if you use the set flax seed setting lotion :)

    I can well understand the Lana-session. Her hair is lovely (and set by professional I'd wager.. *wink*)

  12. Super! Hoe doe je het toch altijd.. Ik heb je vorige tutorial (die met die repen stof) eens uitgetest en het begon er al op te lijken, maar ik denk dat ik voor mijn lange, dikke haar wat stevigere stof moet vinden.. Zeer mooi! Leuk ook hoe die krullen dan roze zijn :). xx
