If I see a girl with blue hair my first thought is "she has an artsy personality", meanwhile if I see a well dressed girl who's a nazi I will think she's an abnormal freak eventhough those people where everywhere in the 40s. I guess it's also related to what you've been use to see growing up. For someone who grew up seeing only natural hair colors, hair dyes are weird, but if you grew up being used to see people with pink hair, your brain wouldn't even notice it much

    I’m a hair stylist. Women are SLEEPING on vintage hair tricks. They’ve been lost to time. I want them back for all of our convenience. Throwing your hair into a pin curl set, or some rollers while it’s wet, is the BEST way to set curl into hair. It is most permanent. Especially with a good gel or moose, it’ll last longer than thermal curls. Also, the styles they create can be brushed into a number of the most fabulous hair styles the world has ever seen. And they’re SO EASY. Bring back convenience, bring back the wet set.

      I'm young and I do this! I twist my damp hair a little and get the most beautiful beachy waves, leaves my hair smelling like it was just washed too, or makes my perfume last longer. I get complimented more on my "wild" look than with other things. (I know it depends on hair texture and your own possibilities, but I really recommend to style it a little damp because my hair is really thin, so it adapts quite easily).

      I actually only wash my hair once every 7-10 days, but i bathe about 2-3 times a week.
      And i often have my hair in 40s styles, and when i do i wear a cap as well, and although i nvr put my head directly under the water, my hair still looks 90% the same.
      When i wear my hair in older styles, such as 1800s or 1700s, or before, it normally doesnt change much either...
      BUT if i have a more modern style and try it it normally has changed ALOT.
      I believe its cause older styles are MEANT to last unless ur hair gets soaked.
      PLUS all the dry shampoo used in between washes helps make it stay put, i dont use TONS of hairspray, just a bit, even on 40s styles, but the little bit used helps.
      But sometimes i dont even use it.
      Its about the way u care for it and style it.
      But this IS a very possible thing.
      ALTHOUGH we clearly saw her edges get wet, so that would still be wet.
      Although an easy fix.

      Oily hair does require more washing, but I agree with you as I have dry hair. Try to leave the natural oils alone and let them build up a bit. The shampoo companies used to say lather, rinse, and repeat (i.e., use more product!). That would only be necessary if your hair is truly quite dirty. Daily washing, except if you really need it, will ensure that your scalp will stay too dry. It's an individual thing. I easily go four days or more.

Not only do I wash it every or every other day, but I blow it dry that much as well. I have very healthy hair. My hair dresser is actually amazed how healthy it is from how much I wash & dry it. It’s just THAT oily that it moisturizes it plenty even tho I wash it so much. I wish I didn’t have to wash it all the time, it’s actually a pain.
