I decided to try this vintage curls look from Cherry Dollface's Youtube tutorials.
She has great vintage how-to's!
I love the way classic S waves look. And it very much does take lots of practice.
I am still practicing.
It's about neat curls, direction, hair shaping, teasing, setting. Rollers, pin curls, pinned curls, bobby pins! Lots of good stuff. Don't give up! It will take time. And these looks take lots of patience. Not really a quick look. It is involved. I think the next time I try this look, I am going to use medium length hair. Long hair weighs the curls down too much. Try not to brush through hair too hastily. You will ruin the curls. Be gentle & good luck! :)
First. Curled with a 1 inch marcel and pinned.
Hair spray over the entire head. A few times.
Cooled to set curls.
Took out the clips and combed with fingers.
brushed with paddle brush lightly. Holding the bottom of the curl while you comb & shape.
The back wasn't too great. Should have pinned. It's too long.
I added a flower and glasses.
Teased the first section of the bangs and shaped to the side.
New Year's Eve is pretty much a formal occasion. A time to wear your hair up or glam waves. Make up is usually more on the glittery side. And of course your dress is short, sexy and festive.
Here are some ideas on what to wear for your night on the town.
Dress!!
If you go with a black dress, animal print shoes and red lipstick can give it a pop.
Also love all that glitters!!! NYE you can get away with these dresses, so why not?!
These black dresses are classy and chic.
If you don't have money to get an expensive dress. I would suggest a little black dress, strapless, halter or tank style. I am sure Forever XI or H&M has lots of stuff. Actually they do. Even the glittery dresses!
Makeup!!

If you plan on doing a simple eye makeup and red lipstick. Try this trick of putting either concealer over your lips first to neutralize the color or white eyeliner!!! I am going to try this myself.
