Comment by Amber on July 5, 2012 at 7:22pm: This is JUST the group I need - I have very very little patience for doing my hair and I have yet to master the pin up/vintage hair styles (all the hair styles in my pictures were done by my hair stylist friend). I know I just need practice but I'm determined to know a couple hairstyles by the time I got to Viva next year. Looking forward to everyone's advice and ideas!

Until next time darlings!

Comment by Julie on July 10, 2012 at 10:57pm: Hi, I have a couple questions..I made a very bold move and cut my hair VERY short. And as much as I love it I REALLY miss being able to do the vintage styles.
