Retro Glam

Oh the days of Glamour!

As I rush out my front door every morning, it’s a challenge to spend hours in front of the bathroom mirror to be up to par with the women from decades past. OH, how nice to be in a silk robe, a fresh cup of hot coffee, and dozens of hot rollers in my hair while I carefully apply my make-up. The retro women of the 50’s and 60’s always left the house put together, and never, ever with wet hair. GHASTLY! Ladies, what is wrong with us?HISTORY is supposed to repeat itself, so, lets repeat what the women decades ago did: TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES!

Lets start with the obvious: HAIR. Here is what you need, don’t worry the list is short.

- Large hot rollers or a ceramic iron (1 inch if your hair is shoulder length or longer, smaller than and inch if your hair is shorter). Need a curling iron or hot rollers? Check out Beauty Choice and get Free Shipping Over $50…BeautyChoice.com

- Bobby pins

- Hair/finishing spray

- Comb/brush

Now, section out your hair and gently mist it with some spray. Take small sections at a time and curl them into ringlets (Shirley Temple or Goddess, whatever you prefer). Flip your hair over and gently separate or comb. Gently mist with spray again and that’s it!

Complete your look with some red lips, smoky eyes and a natural base makeup.
