So, before we begin here's a list of things you might need.
Setting lotion (this really is good stuff and works better than modern gels and sprays) although there are some good heat defence styling products on the market that hold and protect.
Amami is still available for about £2 a bottle (in the old ladies section of superdrug, you know-next to the hairnets and those funny curlers that look like something from Ann Summers* see pic to top left!)
A big tub of hairgrips and hairpins
Sponge bun rings (about £2.99 from Claires accessories) which you need to cut (to make a long 'rat' this is to create a roll at the back of your hair)
Dinky curlers (can be found on ebay, try 'vintage curlers' it usually brings them up. Other makes are Lady Jayne and Ariel.
These are just the basics! but a good way to start.
A hood hairdryer is also handy, it allows you to set your hair and dry it thoroughly without blowing your 'do' away! I bought mine from Sallys hairdressing supplies (in most big towns) You look damn silly in them...but they work. I look like Frankenstein in mine. Fact. *see top right for Hood Dryer. (loads on Ebay)
