Curls and Faux Fur

Happy Monday everyone! Today I decided to set my hair in an actual pattern *le gasp* after weeks of just rolling my hair in a sporadic mess. The set I used was from Lauren Rennells' Vintage Hairstyling. Even though I followed the set exactly, my hair still turned out slightly different than what the final product looked like, as my hair never fully cooperates. Nonetheless, it still looked nice!

Instead of a wet set like the book instructed, I did a dry set as that works best for my hair. I rolled the front section with 4 small rollers and used medium/extra for the rest of my hair, making sure to leave the crown of my head flat. 

The book also used pillow rollers but since I didn't have any, I continued with the sponge rollers and split the rest of my hair into 3 rows.

ahh, the dreaded before picture

After sleeping in the set, this is what my hair looked after I removed the rollers and before I brushed the curls 

out.

After tons of brushing, hair manipulation, and pomade, this was the result:

front view

I adore the bangs because they're a little Diana Dors-esque (I worship her and her hair)  

back view

Since, I used sponge rollers instead of pillow ones, the curls weren't as loose as they were supposed to be; but they lasted through the entire day which was awesome!

And there you have it! A quick tutorial (?) to get you through the long week (now back to tackling this homework...sigh)
