Hi gals,


I have fairly long hair...bra strap length of a bit past that. I find it harder to do sets because of the length and pincurls just end up huge and untidy. Same with victory rolls. I've had a crack at all these hairdos and although I can do them, they never end up looking as nice and as neat as others. I'm reluctant to cut my hair.


Can anyone give me some tips of achieving a good result for 40s/50s hairdos on longer hair please? Pictures as well would be great! I love look at all the pics of different dos.
