Part of a series on Mad Men style, you can find the accompanying articles and a MAD MEN DRESS UP COMPETITION all at www.superkawaiimama.com Come on over and join me there!
You are STUNNING
You have such a great voice when you speak; I like it very much ... as much as your tutorials
hey
im sorry this kind of doesnt have anything to do with this video but i LOVE this kind of music
can you give me an idea of some famous people/bands, or anything to look up for this kind of music?
Thank God a DIY tutorial with a girl who doesn't have an irritating voice! I hate how these other girls have the squiky voice and how they insist on yelling (as to become MORE annoying)!
I have wavy shoulder-length hair and I got it to work by first blow drying my hair straight and then rolling my hair in hot rollers, using hairspray generously between each stage. After brushing the curls out I followed this tutorial and it worked like a charm. And I am by no means skilled at doing hair!
Oh goodness! I love Mad Men style and have been incorporating it into my day-to-day wear and went all out for Halloween. The tutorial was sooo easy to follow and my hair looked really good -- I'm going to keep practicing so the next time it will look great! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I'm glad to make you laugh. Intercontinental laughter doesn't happen often enough.
LOL that made me laugh, I'm thinking, "Wow your curls were so big you had to move the fridge out of the way?!" Don't worry, I type like that too.
Glad to hear it is working.
I'll start experimenting with the curling suggestion. Yesterday I tried it the way you exhibited in the video, it worked out fine, I just had to put my fridge out of the way, and style them last.
You don't have to. I used mine as it is long and helps to hide the pins at the back. You could curl your fringe under and separate into a part for something nice.
what does one do if they have bangs/fringe? do we still section out two parts like you did in the front, to secure the hive?
Awesome job! I'm in cosmetology school and we are having a updo competition today, and I'm going to try this!
You're gorgeous!
Thank you so much! Your video is perfect and will cap off the costumes of my friend and I who are going with a whole group as Mad Men style secretaries, with only one Mad man. We will certainly be the smash hit of the party. Thanks again, and I will certainly look at your other videos!
seriously that really easy well thanks so much hun
It is a long rectangular silk scarf. I've just given it a twist in the middle, then tied it at the bottom underneath the hair. Nothing fancy really.
i love this style but im curious of how the bandana is tied in the begining of the video 00:22
OMGTHANKYOU!!!! I'm doing some Halloween type things as Joan this year, so this rocks!
I love you,you look very classy original,and you look like came from 40's or 50's,I meen your face and features,I adore you.Even your voice is innocent and lovely,God bless you darling
Strawberrykoivintage did a loveley beehive style w/ her shoulder-length hair using a 'homemade' bumpit much like kawaiimama's in her Amy Winehouse vid. I haven't tried it yet but it looks quite simple.
Just to update - I got myself some Bumpits this week via eBay and will be doing some new tutorials with them in the coming weeks.
I'll have to look into that. I haven't heard of it here in Australia, but I might see if I can find an equivalent product for friends.
That all depends on your skill level. The other option is creating a smaller pouf with those Bumpits things.
I LOVE YOU!!!! Your tutorial is awesome!
But I´ve got a little question: do this work for wavy shoulder lenght hair? Mine heaven´t grown as long as yours for months and I´d love to try this hairdo!
you know what hair spray works fabulous with these updos? the untie tricky lite. it's half hairspray half wax and it works wonders for keeping updos in place!
i have super thin hair so it's hard to use lots of product and this stuff never fails.
Interesting blog. Read a few other of your blogged posts and I have to say it is getting a daily habit of mine to keep coming back looking for new stuff lol. Keep up the very good work.
