Regency card party and new hair

[blackcat452]

I had an amazing time at the Regency Card party this weekend. The food was great, there were real and virtual friends, and tons of sparklies   I rewore my white and gold dress, since I love it so much.  I also decide to do something different with my hair.  This video about 18th century curls has been making its way across LJ, so I decided to see if it works. For science.  

I could not have been happier with the results.  I had to work Saturday morning  so my hair had to be done at the crack of dawn.  But 12 hours, a long drive and mini blizzard later, and my curls were still bouncy for the party.  
It took a bit longer to set the curls, because I had to head each one after wrapping it. I wrapped a scarf around them to sleep in, and they help up pretty well.  I just wish it wasn't so wasteful, cause twisting the paper makes it too soft to use a second time. But other then that, those 18th century ladies knew what they were doing.

Even on a grainy video chat I could see how fabulous your hair was last night! How long did it take to wrap your hair? I'm curious to give it a try!

Thanks. It took about an hour, but I did go faster towards the end, and a few of the early ones fell out do I had to redo them. And I heated each one for about 30 secs.

Your hair looked really cute! And I don't blame you for rewearing that gown, it's a really pretty one!
