We are big rockabilly fans, we go to VLV each year and hit the local shows when we can. My husband rocks the pompador daily, but I only do my hair when we go out. I simply don't have the time (I start work at 7am and have a 3 year old daughter that I am responsible for getting up and off to day care each day).
I have tried and tried and tried to do vicotry rolls many times, but couldn't get it down. There's tons of tutorials, but it really just takes practice. I use combs a lot to give myself a super easy vintage style.0 -
I've been contemplating switching up my look to this. I think I can pull it off, but I just chopped my hair so I may have screwed myself.0

I LOVE everything vintage! i would love to do the hair but with the 6 kids I don't have the time
The clothes are amazing! So sophisticated and classy with oh so much sex appeal. The pinnacle of femininity as far as I'm concerned0 -

Hi!
Victory rolls take practice. Lots of practice. I find that they also don't work so well on freshly washed hair. If I need them for Friday, I'll wash my hair Thursday and use a shower cap Friday. I don't normally use "product" on non-roll days, so the hair on Friday has some natural oils to it, but isn't gross.
Tricks I've learned:
- Practice, practice, practice.
- Get a hand-held mirror to check the back and sides.
- Youtube videos help a LOT.
- Use a curling iron to help the hair a bit.
- Cross your pins in an "x" if you can. Makes them more stable.
- Rat-tail comb helps.
- Experiment to see what the minimum amount of hair is you can use. More hair = more to pin. Less hair = more lift
- Experiment with putting the curls in different spots, based on your natural part
*Some days are big bouf in the front. Others are two small rolls on the sides.
*Some days are one huge roll on the side and the rest of the hair pulled in a ponytail on the other side'
- Hit the dollar store for silk flowers on hair clips. Cute flowers make flawed rolls less flawed.
* Buying them is sometimes cheaper than making them. I have a cute one with feathers and glitter that I paid $1 for.
* Or make your own
* Or just pin fake silk flowers in.
* Hibiscus, clusters of small orchids, clusters of mini-carnations, sometimes lilies, and stephanatis have done right by me.
I don't use the lil foam rolls. Just a modified pin curl that I put into the roll.
Yay! Glad to see others on here who love this as much as I do.0 -
Gahhhh! I LOVE vintage/retro style! Especially the 20s, 30s & the 50s. I have a board on my Pinterest that's named "my wishful style" lol. Pretty much filled with that stuff. I'm huge into Retro dresses. I just ordered a black with white polka dot dress and I'm so stoked for it to get here! As I lose more weight and inches I get giddy because I will be able to wear super awesome clothes like that.0

From my experience, Baltimore to Pgh is a bit of a haul. There appear to be pinup groups and photographers in the Pgh area though.
