I got my hair cut! It's a middy with no bangs and with some vertical layering as well as horizontal (I used up my nerve convincing the stylist that I really did want 10 inches cut off and couldn't tell her vertical layers were unnecessary when she started in on them). She curled it all over with a curling iron, which looked stupid, and I finger-combed it out. The last night I wet-set it and slept on it ... it looks a lot more like a fluffy Clara Bow bob than e.g. Elizabeth Taylor or Rosemary Clooney, which I think partly comes down to the fact that when most people do a wet-set and brush-out, they end up with hair that looks the way mine does naturally - on a good day, anyway - so when I do it, I get curly floof. But I like curly floof! And I like setting and taking out rollers!

Whoa, that's mesmerizing to watch! My hair definitely does not hold a curl as well as hers - it takes the curl really well, but it also takes the straightening of the brush. Although I think it might hold better than it seems right now; the right side of my hair is kind of a nasty straightish mess after brushing it for a little bit after I got home, which I initially thought was just from brushing the curl out, but it seems like the ends of the vertical layers I shouldn't have let her cut are also being gross. (I would take you a picture but my camera app is repeatedly crashing.)
