Pinup Hairstyle -Billy De Vorss Inspired

[VintageGodess10]

Can you do a Lois Lane tutorial? Some more ways to dress up your ponytail in a cute pin up way would be nice. Some more updos for spring and summer for the hot weather. Where I live gets super hot like 105 in the summer. I will post videos of myself doing my hair when I can. I learn a lot from you. Thank you.

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@VintageGodess10 I have a high humidity hairstyle with a ponytail option and several other options as well. Since my hair is short right now, I can't really do any now but please check my pror videos. :)

Do you have naturally curley hair? Because I do but I want my curls to look like yours after the curlers come off. If I go to sleep with curlers in (when my hair is wed) will it still turn out with those 1940s curls?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@slideshowgurl No my hair is straight. But yu can try these rollers and see what you think of the finished product. It's all about practicing diffeerent techniques on your own hair...

[Moominskii1985]

You are amazing!!! I'm going to spend much of tomorrow trying these out! Thanks for the inspiration!!! :D x

[MissGoldenDreams13]

@LisaFreemontStreet: I love Billy DeVorss! I think he's one of the great unsung heroes of pin-up art.

[margun88]

I have been drewling over your hair for three days now... I'm really inspired by your videos! (And they're not as slow as some, good thing.) You must put a lot of time and effort into making them! Thanks for sharing!

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@margun88 Thanks so much!

[debbiechickie5]

Your makeup is FAB here!!

[dida079]

sooooooooo cute :)

[purclassic1]

I did this hairstyle for halloween and it worked perfectly! I guess when ur a 40s fanatic you'll do anything to get that look right:) Thanks Lisa I love how you get ur styles so perfectly:) Ive watched every video you've uploaded:)

[sujuteukie]

that is such a cute do~!!

I love all your videos

you are truly AWESOME~!!!!!!! =D

[KateQueen1989]

cool!!!

[wonderfulfuckyou]

You have the perfect features for the pinup look... I however am half Greek and half Persian...

It's a very exotic look, and I'm aware of how to exaggerate it.... but I'm very much in love with the pin up looks. It just doesn't fit my features... but I'll keep trying.

I love your videos.

[Loverloft]

Is there a difference as to which is better, pillow rollers or sponge?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

Pillow rollers are more comfortable to sleep in but I don't recommend using them on towel dried hair because it takes forever for the hair to dry. The sponge roller is more porous and therefore dries more quickly. Not this time, of course. :) However, the curl is very similar.

[V1RGY81]

yay the dancehall crashers!!

[TheLatinwoman]

Hi Lisa, I love your series of videos, you are really talented .

I was wondering if you have any idea of how to keep the curls nice while you are sleeping (and without scaring my husband). The thing is that I love the pinup look and my hair is curly, but I wake up looking like Albert Einstein!

Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

[LisaFreemontStreet]

Sleep w/ a silk or chiffon scarf over the top tied loosely. :)

[Jenbug123]

i wanted to know if you have a vid talking about different types of ways to curl your hair and why... Thanks!

[LisaFreemontStreet]

No but that's a good idea. I'll keep it in mind. :)

[Mofinchfinch]

ugh my hair always does that. it literally does not dry when i put it in sponge rollers. i have super thick hair and it always turns out like that, so i just stick with my heated rollers instead.

[LisaFreemontStreet]

Mine usually turns out well, as can be seen in other videos. I jsut didnt wait long enough this time. You probably need to be putting less hair on each roller. That will allow the air to drift all the way thru to the sponge and dry. :)

[Jenbug123]

awesome vids sooo beauitiful... im so excited to be growing my hair out! ha ha I always cut it short because I don't know what to do with my hair... this is so fun and beauitiful!! thanks!

[foxyfrithy]

You always look ace. I like your cute way with the tutorials and I'm super jealous of the results. Red or Blonde - you look fierce!

[ViNTAGExLACE]

it's awesome! :) looks like the original barbie!!! :D

[rmcanetta6]

I really loved your hair when it was blonde! I miss it! =] Love your videos, you are GORGEOUS!

[LisaFreemontStreet]

me too...ah well. :)

[mylulu2]

Iove DHC! ....he wants me back, teehee!

[fudgemallowdelight]

love that colour- really suits you. great studd, carry on teaching us!

[SatanTheCat]

Who sings this?? It sounds so much like either Dancehall Crashers or Franceska.

[LisaFreemontStreet]

It is the Dancehall Crashers...actually the last song is their 'title' song. ;-)

[aliejvoyce]

First of all, I must say I love all of your tutorials - totally fab and super easy to follow! I do have a question though - I have short hair and want so bad to try the pin curls, but I'm afraid it would look like a big poof ball after brushing it out - any suggestions?

Thanks for all of your wonderful vids, I really enjoy watching them!

[LisaFreemontStreet]

See Myrna Loy and Norma Shearer...both achieved pin curls w/ shorter hair and yes, there is a hint of 'poof ball' but that is what trial and error is for. See what works for you...see where you need to place more hair in the pins...use a pomade to tame it. I'm pretty sure you'll find something that works.

[RockabillyLovin]

thats great that style is beautiful you got skills

[LisaFreemontStreet]

Thanks! I love to practice anyway. :)

[RobynEstelle]

You are wonderful.

you have inspired me to actually do what I have always wanted to do.

much love,

Robyn.

[LisaFreemontStreet]

[SEBwear]

[fiercie23]

This is such a lovely little 'do! I'll definitely have to try it out :)

[JennDeVille]

I love yr tutorials it makes everything so much easier..

[pinkgenevive]

Loving your tutorials. Can't wait for my hair to be long enough again so I can start using them! Thank you for making these; I always thought it would be impossible to recreate! =)

[LisaFreemontStreet]

If you see one you really like, send me a message and I might can help you tailor it to shorter hair. ;)

[xkendallx]

This is the hairstyel that I'm going to have for prom. I'm making my own dress out of a vintage 1948 pattern, so I think this will be perfect!

[LisaFreemontStreet]

I'm flattered ! Make sure to send me some pictures. :)

[ASHLEYtee22]

i love how you did the "topsy tail" im gonna start doing that.

[AnzacGal]

I love your hair colour. Is it natural?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

Naturally enhanced by Manic Panic...haha. Does that count? Alas, my natural hair color is dirty blonde...I think. It's been awhile since I've seen it!

[brokenhearteddoll]

I love this series of videos you did! I'm actually going to go out and get some sponge curlers tomorrow to try this look. Do you think it would work just as well with my crazy thick hair?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

It should work fine and you'll have more volume to work with! But if it turns out too big or if you don't like the results, just keep practicing w/ different ammounts of hair per roller, a different level of 'dampness' with the hair to begin with, or rolling in different directions. Good luck!

[brokenhearteddoll]

I just wanted to let you know that I tried this hairstyle yesterday and I loved it! Thanks for being such a cool retro inspiration and keep up the good work :)

[LisaFreemontStreet]

Yay you! I''m thinking about trying it tonight when I go out since it's all rainy outside.

[ellaneza]

lovely! as always! i have pillow rollers too n i tried using them, but it's so difficult cuz of my layered hair. can you do a tutorial on using pillow rollers? please?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

It's easier to use pillow rollers on damp hair and sometimes, you may need to soak the ends even more to get them to stay put while you wind the curl. But I have found that the curls are very forgiving and even if you have to work the loose pieces in sloppily, as you roll, the curls still turns out just fine. :)

[Sandydarlin]

Can I ask about the music??

[LisaFreemontStreet]

SOITENLY! The music is by one of my favorite California Ska bands, The Dance Hall Crashers. These two songs are from their first record...:) 'He Wants Me Back' and "DHC"...

[christinatron]

Sooo cute! :D

[Elolinona]

So pretty! And it looks so easy. I'm gonna try this out! :)

[theKiraLouise]

so simple and cute thnks=]

[DolledUpMisfit]

I am just so impressed with all of your tutorials.

[LisaFreemontStreet]

[LisaFreemontStreet]

Thanks so much for all your sweet comments, guys!
