raffaellasworldI'm not sure if I want to do the full on horns, I'd rather not invite bovine comparisons to my person. However, I really love the softer version of this, the waves which kind of remind me of some 1930-40 hair styles.
Here's a link to some great examples:

There's a lady who's got a great blog of both her dress and accessories (oh, flag fan, must make one) but the roll version of the horned hair style I'm wanting. http://photos1.blogger.com/img/259/3918/1024/horns2.jpg

I'm thinking I'll have to give in and do the ratting and hair spray method. Anyone know what hair stiffening methods were used at this time? I know back in the good ol' punk era it was often egg whites or plain gelatin.
Here's a how to page as well:

I'm not sure my hair is long enough for this one though. Since I donated my hair the last time it just hasn't grown back as quickly. I do have the faux hair to add though, so I could use most of my hair to do the front and still have quite a respectable bun.

I think this is the style I'm going to attempt. I love the pearls.
So for now it's looking like:
Separate into front and back parts.
Part front down the middle.
Rat the front within an inch of it's life w/spray or stiffening agent.
Brush the front into tall waves (I'll want the outside smooth).
Put the small faux braids and pearled faux bun over the back portion (I think I'll do it high back on my head).
Pearl within an inch of it's life with the pearled wire hair pins.
Spend at least an hour trying to wash it all out after the feast. ;o
Does that sound right?
