I bought my first and only set of Hot Rollers when I was 13 (well, Mum bought them for me!). Purchased from Farmers Department Store, my Wahl Cutek Hot Rollers lasted me all the way through to just a few months ago at age 26 (although granted they […]
One of the most common questions I get is about where to start with vintage hairstyling. It can be a little daunting as it’s so different to modern-day styling and the tools you use are really important. I’ve teamed up with the fabulous people at Sable Fine Hair […]
