December Aim. Midway.

So my aim this month is to try and set my hair more often and to try out my setting lotion. 

Well. I've cut my hair again so it's neater now, and I'm in Scotland now visiting. My godmother was a hair dresser, so I'm hoping she'll have some setting lotion tips for me! 

So far I've set my hair twice. Which to be honest is a bit of a failure!! 

I've been having baths in the mornings so haven't wanted it to be set all day for no reason. I've taken to pin curls and pony tails for an easy retro look. 

Or victory rolls for a bit of instant glam.

In some ways I'm pleased I've done a lot more to make my hair look more vintage styled so far this month, but I would like to get this pin curl thing down!! 

It worked reasonably well the first time, but I did fairly big pin curls so it was wavy and lost it's shape quite fast. 

The second time I did it, I tried to make them smaller, neater and tighter. They certainly stuck close to my head when I took the pins out! They didn't keep too much wave when I brushed them through though! 

I had quite a lot of volume and a reasonable amount of wave. I was told I looked very twenties, which I guess is the result of the shorter hair cut. 

I have no pictures of it as I was (as usual) terribly late getting ready! 

Next up. Setting lotion!

P.S. got any setting lotion tips? 

December Aim!

I decided the other day to make up little icons for each month to post on my Instagram using photos taken in that month the previous year. (and maybe even prior to that!)

It was mostly for me, as I love doing my Instagram round up posts, but can never remember where one month starts and finishes. 

Then as I was posting it at two am this morning, I figured why not give it slightly more point. So my monthly aim was born! 

The great ideas you have in the middle of the night!!

My aim for this month is to try and set my hair more often. To try out my setting lotion and to figure out a good basic set for my hair at the moment. 

I love the way rollers come out but I get frustrated with them sometimes. 

My pin curl sets are never the same! 

Sometimes I get lazy and just do plaits. 

I run out of time and use heated rollers. The curls never last though. And I look like a total idiot for half an hour. Huge clips sticking up off my head! 

So basically I'm going to aim for more of this:

Resulting in beautiful neat curls. 

And less of this:

Crazy curls with no rhyme or reason to them! 

So, Go December (!), for good hair!!

Jo :-)

P.S. got any aims this month? Got any hair tips?
