Ann Margret Hair How To: Classic Big Hair with Volume!!

Vintage Lovers!!
Today is the Ann- Margret Hair How To
What you need to achieve this look is long hair ;)
You can actually get this look with medium length hair. Just use medium rollers :)
What you need:
Medium to Large Roller, roller clips, Lotta Body setting spray, (hot rollers opt), and rat tail comb, and last but not least a Hairspray!!!!












1) Before!! AHHHH!!! Scary sight!!


 2) Add the rollers in!! Technique: 1) direct the roller UP not down. Up gives you max volume!! 2) Take large sections Ann did not have curly hair she had wavy hair. 3) All of the rollers are facing down.  ( direction)


(Rollers in the back)



3) Go in Hood Dryer. If you don’t have one use a large barrel iron and curl your hair and do pin rollers

4) Take out rollers. This is what you should get when done very loose curls





5) When brushing out brush away from your face this brushing out technique is a great for big hair. Tease the crown if necessary.



Finished look! Hairs spray it!! (That little bump on top of her hair is the reflection of the back of the hair!! ha-ha!!)


Hope you enjoyed this short hair how to!!
If you have any questions please fell free to ask me!

Nail Polish Reveiw: OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender

Hello Vintage Lovers,
Last week I purchased a nail polish from OPI called 'Lucky Lucky Lavender'. Its such a pretty color! Its a delicate purple! When I tryed the nail polish on , it surprised me how fast it dryed!! All it took was 2 coats plus base coat and it was dry in 15 minutes!! I also like how it lasts, and talk about how shiny it is!!!! :)
Its from the Hong Kong Spring 2010 OPI collection.



( The color is so pretty on her nails!)


Not only do I like the color but it also reminds me of 1960's Jackie -O,
it has a classy mod look to it!! I love it!!
Try it out!!
Have A Very Vintage Day
