Pin curls

2 nights ago I tried something new with my hair. Let me preface with saying that I have decided that I really like the 1940's. I am now looking into making or buying skirts and dresses that fit with that era. I bought red lipstick and a few other things that will make me feel really 40's, the only thing missing is my hair. I don't even know what century my hair is in but I want it to be in the 40's so I decided to try out pin curls.

Please let it be known that my hair is thick, I mean really thick and red. (No it isn't naturally red) It is also short, when I say short I mean it doesn't even go to my chin, and layered did I mention it is layered?

Anyways I got it into my head that I could have pin curls all over my head. I had Rachel cover my head in 90 bobby pins and hair gel and water. We spent an hour or so putting these curls into my hair, if you would like to know what pin curls are you should google them because I am not going to post pictures, sorry.

I went to sleep in them. Mind you the sleep was really bad because I was so scared of frizzing my hair. When I woke up I took out the pins. Good news-it wasn't frizzy. Bad news-I looked like a poodle with a bad hair job. My hair was covered in so many curls it was CrAzY. I had this giant mass of curls on the top of my head and it just looked AWFUL.

The question is, will I do it again? Not while my hair is as short as it is but, yes I do intend on doing it again. The curls, if they didn't look good on me at that moment, were good curls. They withstood brushing and water, they didn't frizz, they were easy to do (time consuming but they can be done the night before) and they did look good just not with all them short layers.

Well that is all I really have to say, sorry there is a gap between the days, I haven't given up on writing every day but I have realized that there is no need for me to write on the days when nothing actually happens.
