I picked up an awesome 1920's british homemaking magazine today just bursting with awesome ads. You'll be seeing a lot of them for the next little while :D

I love how sad and serious she looks when her hair is straight. But in no way, shape or form could that device produce the angled finger-waves in the last photo!

Exactly! Those things were a bitch to make. I remember asking my Gran about them. She said she had curved metal claps that pinched the waves into her hair after she wet it down with sugar water!

I once found a pdf of instructions for finger-waves linked from this page: http://ritasue.co.nz/catalog/hairtut.php
I didn't have to read far to realise they'd be almost impossible to do on your own head.

Here's the actual tutorial Fingerwave (http://www.vividinfinity.com/fingerwave/fingerwaving.pdf) No wonder Gran used clips!

I've always wondered how they did it...

I'm thinking that her hair in the first pic would actually look pretty good if she had some bangs.

Ooh yes, like Louise Brooks!

I'd never heard of her, I had to Google. I like her hair! May use a slightly modernised style of that for my next haircut. But I dunno if it would work since my hair's pretty thick and... em, not exactly wavy or curly, but not straight either.

BTW what is your icon from?

[air-and-angels.livejournal.com]

A webcomic about Ben from Lost, called Benry Knows Best. You can read them on http://www.theackattack.net/?cat=130 - it's by a friend of mine who prefers to remain anonymous but is awfully talented.

Oh my god that is seven hundred different kinds of adorable.

(drat it, I don't have a "squee!" icon anymore.)

Lolz at her hair/expression in the first pic

[nosyparker.livejournal.com]

She looks like a member of Interpol!

But the waves in the last pic almost give her a bride of Frankenstein vibe.

lol yes, I do see a sad Paul Banks in the first picture.
