CURLERS

Whenever people ask me how I get my hair to look so 'glamorous' (that's a quote, not me glorifying myself) I tell them the truth. I use culers and a hairdryer, like they did all through the fifties and sixties until it became fashionable to be 'au natural'.

1. Wash hair
2. Put hair in curlers by following a pattern according to how you want the hair to fall when you take it out
3. Sit under a hair drying for approx an hour (so good for drowning out the sound of parents).
4. Take out hair when dry.
5. Voila.


Here are some stylish patterns from an old fifties magazine I bought on ebay with Haley Mills on the cover.

This is Sue Lyon-- the girl who played Lolita in the 1962 version with James Mason-- with curlers in her hair and the result.

And here are some modern stars who also do it.

Dianna Agron, Blake Lively and Naya Rivera. And yes, I do watch Glee and Gossip Girl.
