Victory Rolls: Attempt #1

Gosh, I love victory rolls! I thought to myself on a Saturday night. The boy is in the living room playing video games and I'm puttering around aimlessly. Why don't you learn how to do them? I thought to myself. Really, there are so many great tutorials out there. I'm particularly fond of The Girl With The Star Spangled Heart's video. So I gave it a whirl using a comb, a hand-me-down dollar store hair straightener, hairspray and bobby pins.

I have naturally curly hair which refuses to cooperate on good hair days and has full blown tantrums on bad hair days so first we partition and straighten the hair:


Next we grab then end, carefully make a loop and roll that loop up. Pin it to your head and voila!


Ok, maybe not. Let's try again. Voila?


Maybe 1/2 a can more hairspray and a dozen more pins will help...


Well, I tried.

This has been victory roll attempt number 1. I believe I'll invest in a brush, a better straightener and perhaps a curling iron before I try again.

Stay Saucy,

Miss Scarlet
