ROLL & GO HAIR TOOL - Review and International Giveaway!

Hi dolls!

I am so excited to show you an incredible and groundbreaking hair tool for creating vintage-inspired hairstyles! It’s called the Roll & Go Hair Tool, invented by Lauren Rennells. Lauren is an amazing makeup artist and hairdresser. She is also the owner of the vintage hairstyling store and she runs the Bobby Pin Blog. You may already own her book, Vintage Hairstyling and her Rockin Rollers (which I gleefully reviewed here).

Just when I thought things couldn’t get any better, Lauren invented this innovative hair tool that is perfect for creating pin curls, victory rolls, bumper bangs, buns, French twists, you name it! Not only is this tool useful for vintage-style hairdos, it’s extremely handy for making twirly-curly shapes for more modern looking hairstyles. Being so versatile, you can let your imagination run wild with the Roll & Go Hair Tool!

Here’s a closeup of the Roll & Go Hair Tool. As you can see it’s a fun and very unique comb with long teeth for rolling and twisting and there’s a comfy central grip for you to hold. These are just a few examples of the hairstyles you can create with the tool:

The Roll & Go Hair tool came in the cute box below........

...which also includes bobby pins and a very helpful 32 page instructional booklet filled with step-by-step guides and tips.

I decided to get rollin' ;) and tried the Roll Bangs first, following the instructions in the booklet. All it takes are 5 easy steps.........

Here I am securing the roll with bobby pins:

Ta-da! Easy as pie! Here are my roll bangs, using the Roll & Go Hair Tool:

I also tried out a similar roll, but slightly sideways

(Lauren's Upright Suicide Roll Tutorial can be seen here):

This is the result! I love how the roll turned out. It looks like a big wave <3

I would never be able to achieve these styles without the Roll & Go Hair tool!

What I love about the Roll & Go Hair Tool:

-It’s SO easy to use

-It doesn’t require any heat or water!!!

-No tangling; it’s gentle on your hair

-It has two different sized ends so you can create big rolls or smaller rolls according to your preference

-Its convenient size and weight; you can carry it in your bag and travel with it

-It’s fun!

-It’s a vintage lady’s DREAM

Also, you might have noticed that I often sport bumper bangs (also known as roll bangs) but frankly speaking, I’ve always found it time consuming and tedious creating them myself with no tools. I also often ended up making my rolls huge, much to my despair. I used to try using foam rolls but the visible spongy rolls are not aesthetically pleasing. This is why I couldn’t believe it when Lauren Rennells created the perfect tool to rescue me!

The Roll & Go Hair Tool makes life easier for all rockabilly and pin up dolls. It’s a must have for vintage lovers and all women who like to experiment with fun hairdos. I strongly recommend this revolutionary tool, ladies. You can purchase the Roll & Go Hair Tool on Amazon (click here) and at: store.VintageHairstyling.com/roll-go-hair-toll/

Thank you, Lauren Rennels for making a rockabilly gal’s dream come true! J

Minnie Mouse Inspired Look

Hi cats and kittens,

After my Elvis inspired outfits, Lauren Bacall inspired look, now Minnie Mouse is my muse??! Haha don't worry, I'm not going to be wearing mouse ears or anything! The dress I'm wearing in this post is actually a vintage,1940s-1950s style dress and it's not flared out like Minnie's. It is bright red though and there are white polka dots on the top part. I own many red, polka dot pieces and whenever I wear them, friends and even strangers call me Minnie Mouse. It could also be the red ribbon in my hair.....anyway, I take it as a compliment. After all, Minerva ''Minnie'' Mouse is as vintage as can be! She was first drawn in 1928, alongside her ~~mousefriend~~ boyfriend, Mickey Mouse.

Ciao gatti e gattine,

Dopo i miei look ispirati ad Elvis e a Lauren Bacall, ora è arrivato il turno di Topolina. Ahah, non vi preoccupate, mica mi metto le orecchie da topo! Il vestito che indosso in questo post è vintage, stile anni quaranta-cinquanta. Non è svasato come quello di Topolina però è rosso e ci sono i pois sulla parte superiore. Ho tantissimi capi rossi, a pois ed è forse per questo che i miei amici e persino sconosciuti mi chiamano ''Minnie'' quando me li metto. Potrebbe anche essere il fiocco rosso che ho spesso in testa ma qualunque sia il motivo, io lo prendo come un complimento. Dopotutto, Minnie è un icona vintage!

E' stata creata nel 1928, insieme al suo Topolino ;) Più vintage di così!

It's a little baggy in the rib cage area and under the arms but I don't really mind! There are two straps which I tied into a bow in the back, by the way.
