and so it begins...

It's another rainy day in wellington and I have just had a bath, I tried a lukewarm bath instead of a hot bath because after reading different advice from the internet it said that a cooler bath is better than a hot bath, something to do with your own body heat matching the cooler water.

Whatevs.

So I washed my hair, put in conditioner, put my hair inside a shower cap and put on my Wondercap Heatcap (http://www.wondercap.co.nz/). it has been ten minutes and I will now wash it out using cold water to close the hair follicle.

Once that has happened in will go my Redken leave in treatment and I will lightly blow dry my hair so that it is still damp.

Then onto the first go at a hairstyle in the Vintage hairstyling book by Lauren Rennells.

It is called " Cascading Curls".

So I've started off with my Redken product and have only blow dried my hair slightly because I will be sleeping in the pin curls.

Heres my fringe seperated out

Here I have started according to the directions a row at the base of my scalp.

This is my head all done,


So lovely and swirly!

And here is it after a night of sleeping in it and a day at work.

I put in the flower because my fringe didn't turn out the way I had hoped!

I'm going to get my hair permed. and thats final :)

To elaborate:
I recently bought a book called Vintage Hairstyling - retro hairstyling with step by step instructions by Lauren Rennells 2nd Edition. It was exactly what I was looking for and if you want to check out more then go to her blog - bobbypinblog.blogspot.com/ - it's very good.

(The perm is because all of the vintage hairstyles require curls and a perm is the easiest way for me to do so)

so I have decided to create a blog showing my attempts and I will be posting photos of my attempts here. I also have started following other peoples blogs and think it's a very cool thing.

I will be also blogging about my life as a single, sexless 21year old in Wellington, New Zealand. A country that seems to have no purpose but to supply milk to the world. Along with the milk is also cow farts.

The Beginning

Hello,

I have decided to start this blog as I am a follower of others. I may update it but I may not, you'll have to wait and see!
