Autumn mists....mellow fruitfulness my arse!




We all know that Autumn brings nothing but damp weather and that means.....Frizz.


The curse of the modern woman!


Snoods are a godsend taming the back of the hair but don't bung it on like Ena sharples pulling it to the front of your head! I was in North Yorkshire at the weekend and the abuse of snoods and hairnets was appalling!


Think Vivien leigh in 'Gone with the wind'...a snood is a dressing for the back of your hair! you must add height at the front. A centre parting like Vivs will only work on a slim face really, for chunkier Madames try a roll at the front (a pompadour) or two soft rolls.....(not baps)

Take this lady here in the B&W photo. A genuine wartime photo. Her rolls are actually more like loose twists. Secured with a few pins they work better on longer heavy hair. Have a fiddle on these long dark nights, you might get a satifactory result.
Thats all for now mes enfants!
