Hair last week - Victory Roll Over


Hi everyone!  I got my hair done last week my hairdresser, who I have been stalking (in a professional sense) for about 16 years, asked if she could style my hair in a kind of victory roll.  I thought you might like to see the results:

I am wearing a thrifted cardigan and polyester dress

I was very pleased with the results - I have tried Victory Rolls before but not with this kind of success.  I think the original inspiration was Katy Perry:



 Or something like this:








WOW, look at  Rita Hayworth:


Definitely not inspired by this:



My hair is the one thing that I spend my money on - I may scrimp, save, thrift and scavenge for my clothes, shoes and accessories, but my hair gets the full treatment.  I started dying my hair as a teenager, usually only semi permanent, and then advanced to permanent in my twenties when the evil curly greys started coming through.  My hairdresser and I have a great relationship, she has known me for years (through various ups and downs) and we always have a good laugh while she is making me feel like a princess.  For the record, my natural colour is dark brown and I have a naturally occuring white streak in the front which has got more prominent as I have aged...if only it was elegant as this:

 Hope you are all having a good week :-)
 Bye
