Should change the name to DEFEAT roll!

A friend of mine posted a picture of her wearing victory rolls and I thought it looked adorable. She said she did an easy version so I decided to try it out!.
Here is hers.


Let's just say it isn't easy to do anything with my hair. It is a long mess!! I have over 25" of hair and trying to roll and pin it was HILARIOUS. I tried using the foam curler method, where you just wrap your hair around the curler and then pin it where you can't see the curler, well I have way too much hair for that. So me being the genius that I am , I tried using an empty toilet paper roll. I rolled my hair up, pinned it at the head and then slid the roll out. It worked OK  but I am just not happy with the results.
 One side done

 I could not get the other side right and I started getting pissed
Both of them, I couldnt get the bottom of the roll pinned good enough so I just clipped it up so it looks gross and messy from the top and back.

So after leaving the bathroom in pure anger to change a poopy diaper I went back and tried a different method of twisting and pinning.


I am just not feeling the whole look. I feel like instead of it looking like 40's pin-up look , it looks like freaking Snooki from Jersey Shore.
Blah!!!!!!


So I unpinned it all , brushed it out and I am back to plain boring hair.

I did my makeup today, I used silvers and greens but of course this awesome camera ( sarcasm) only picked up the greens and made them look teal.

  2. The hair styles look adorable! I've tried the victory rolls but my hair is too short and I have too many loose hairs. Also the second hair style I've done too. It's like the rockabilly kitten ears. I think if not the victory rolls you should continue to do the second look cause it's cute!

  4. The second hair style looks cute on you! I haven't tried victory rolls, but I HAVE tried pin curls. 2 hours of twirling and pinning, and another 30 minutes or so with the blow dryer (I'm impatient) and the results were disastrous. Instead of pretty ringlets, I had... I dunno. My hair looked so sad and pathetic, lol.

  5. I have thick hair and doubt I could do victory rolls, it just aint happenin', I'd have to have my hair thinned a LOT. Gonna ask the hair dresser to thin it a lto next trip, but that is a neat idea, Christina! You have a good idea going! It takes much hairspray for me and cursing with the curling iron to get curls even for me..HATE thick hair.

  7. I think it looked really nice! Not exactly victory rolls, but it wasn't a disaster either :) You are waaay prettier than Snooki FYI

  8. I think the volume on it is lovely and not Snooki at all! Maybe point them the other way on your head, you the rolly-up part is facing the front? I love VRs, I'd wear them everyday if they weren't such a PITA.
