finger wave

on a related note: one of my bridesmaids has pretty short hair. not boy-short, but short. one place suggested that she get a 1920's style finger curl, and it would cost the same as a blow dry - $40-50. although she doesn't have asian hair, it is pin straight and very resistant to keeping curls. they just said they'd use a lot of gel. another place i called said it take a really long time, it needs to set for 2 hours and it's $$$ expensive. so what's the difference? is the first place literally just blow drying with their fingers and a bit of product while the other place sets it with dozens of curlers?

i love the one above the best, and the blythe doll one with a little curl of long bangs across the front, sleek right behind it and curls and volume at the back and tips.

it depends on what she needs really... you can buy a 4000$ jacket at holts or search for the perfect one at value village.. right.
