"the supposed influence of a charm upon the eyes, making them see things as fairer than they are: fascination, enchantment, witchery; groomed beauty and studied charm."

Flick Me
I did a crazy flicking set last night, I say crazy because it was just one of those things, you just do what you feel, not really following the rules just throwing caution to the wind and making it up as you go along.
Basically I thought, I want volume on top, I want it to flick out, but I want it to look shorter than it is.
I used the larger rollers on top, set on base, to create scalp lift. Notice the front is off base, behind a backwards shaping which is held in place with curl clips, as I wanted to create some depth for the fringe.
Smaller rollers on the sides which were to create the shorter base for the longer hair to sit on.
Finally some pincurls, facing up the head, at the bottom, just for the hell of it really.
I brushed out each section using a round brush pulling the flick out the way.
I did a load of backcombing around the crown for volume and at the fringe for stability. I also used a couple of pins to pin under slightly at the back.
Here’s my Bobbie inspired look
I don’t think this was the ideal set for this, I’ll probably mull over some adjustments for the future.
I decided to brush out more for a longer style, more of an Ann Margaret, I pulled some of the fringe out and brushed back, and reduced fringe volume by brushing through and flicking out the tip, and I pinned back one side behind the ear.
This in’t the ideal set for the style, I will do another set that’s more sensible for it in future, but it works ok.
It’s been snowing here again, and there’s a wee bit of snow sunshine coming in the windows, which gave me a bit of photo lighting for a change, which was nice!
Hope you get some good flicking done this weekend folks.
