Husband {formerly known as DH, or Dear Husband ~ but I am not sure if anyone got the reference of the initials, so now he is just Husband. : D } and I were going out yesterday night so I thought I would try a Victory Roll hair style for then as I had all afternoon to get it right.
Turns out I just about needed all afternoon because Victory Rolls are not easy!! > < Plus, I do not think it helps to have layered, curly hair. : S Anyway, please excuse the amateur hairstyle; I definitely need to practise more.
I love this old building ~ the details and style is fantastic. It is just up the street from the hotel we are staying in. When Husband and I were walking past it one evening I said I wanted to loiter in the doorway. He knew exactly what I meant ~ outfit shots!
Perth has amazing architecture tucked away all over the city; I often stop just to look at the wonderful detail that you do not find on the buildings in Canberra. Our city is too new. : ( Still, it is nice to travel around and find that sort of thing else where.
Close up of the Victory Rolls. I only did two ~ one on each side, but I pulled my fringe out before I did the left hand roll and let it curl in front. I think that it suits me to have loose hair around my face ~ I do not like having it all pulled back, so I will probably keep doing my hair this way when I do Victory Rolls.
Although I might have to figure out something different if I decide to pin the back half up too. ….Hmm.
Also on my list of “To Try” is pin curls ~ I am very interested to see if they will work in my hair with it being so curly already! I would love to find a way to set the natural curl so it does not frizz after one day, so we will see if pin curls are the answer.

Top ~ Valley Girl Skirt ~ Thrifted Shoes ~ Betts {These are my sensible maternity shoes…}

The victory rolls look great! I watched that video, too, and I just know it would take me about six hours to do the same thing. I have no idea how she managed to just wrap the hair around her finger, then move it a little before it suddenly turned into a victory roll. It was amazing. I think you've done a great job with your hair.
ReplyDeleteThat building is the perfect backdrop for the photos, too. Such gorgeous tiles!
Thank you Katie. Yeah, trying it myself; it is really hard!! I mean, seriously, Fleur just flicks and twists and voila! Beautiful Victory Rolls..... Maybe one day it will be that easy for me too. Maybe!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is so lovely, I adore the tile work. : D
Ooh, I love the skirt...the ruffle at the hem is so pretty!

Thanks V! The lacy ruffle is a rather nice detail that you don't see that often. : D And thank you for checking out my blog...!
