- I tried to give myself a 1940s hairstyle... it did not go as I hoped.
Update: I kidnapped a granny a made her tell me her hair styling secrets. She screamed "I just used a comb!". I tried it out and it worked MUCH BETTER than brushing with a hair brush. Thankful to granny, I let her go. She's doing fine.
I think.

I thoght I was the only one who experienced the horror with velcro rollers!
Yeah, the ptsd is real.
Hahaha! SO GLAD I'm not the only one 😂😂❤️
The rollers like that are for old lady hair with old lady haircuts. Think Golden Girls.
The problem with your brush out is that you keep brushing the individual curls. You have to brush they hair all together to make those individual curls blend into one big wave. No finger shaking, no separating. I hope you'll try again and try different brushing technique because you're honestly almost there!
Thank you so much for your comment!😃❤️ I'm taking all the intel from the comment section, and I'll try again soon (with different rollers😂) Happy New Year!🥳
Rollers truly are a workout 😂😂 when youre half way through doing them, you start to understand why ladies mostly went to hair salons once a week to get their hair set haha
Right?!😂❤️ I wish hair dressers still did that (and that it would be affordable enough that we could go every week!) Thank you for watching, and Happy New Year!!🥳
I think you did great! If you’ve ever seen Rachel Maksy, she shows how she does vintage hairstyles and I was surprised how much brushing was involved and then shaping of the waves/curls.
But yes, velcro rollers can go and die in hell!
Hahaha! Yes, they can go burn in hell fire forever🤣 I love Rachel. I must have missed her hair videos 😲 I'll check it out!
Just 5hpught you might like to know about my Mums hairdressing in the 1950s. She had a myriad if time rollers, which were secured by a plastic arrow. She would use kiss curls a lot. It would take her h9urs to do in the evening and then she would sleep in them all.no wonder she was bad tempered 😂😂😂😊 if she wanted waves she had these steel gripper things that seemed to anchor in her scalpbut ended up with a nice wave the following day.
Oh my. I have long red hair too and it was very thick and naturally curly. I used those Velcro rollers once. They got stuck in my hair so bad that some had to be cut out. Throw those things in the trash. With long hair, (my hair is waist length long), I roll my hair without the rollerers. An easy trick is to take your curling iron, not turned on, and roll up your hair, slide the curling iron out of the hair roll and then pin hair in place. Now if your hair takes more than 24 hours to dry when rolled, let your hair dry naturally about 80%, and use water spray bottle to lightly moisten hair before rolling. I use a hair setting lotion which really helps with the frizzes. I hope this helps. Love watching your videos. Use some pomade for your hair. It will smooth out your curls, control fly away and makes it easy to get the brush through. Use the pomade very sparingly. A little goes a long way.
Thank you so much for the awesome tip!😃❤️ I don't have a curling iron, but I will definitely give it a go if I get my hands on it!😃 Happy New Year!🥳
This is the best advice.
If it makes you feel anybetter, I once got a curling iron that had a brush stuck in my hair. My sister helped me by spending about a half hour getting it out. She still talks to me, thank heavens. I don't curl my hair anymore. It's too dangerous.
This video might have been painful for you (taking these too small velcro rollers out looked unpleasent) but I found it hilariuos. Your „American time measurement“ made me laugh so hard. 😅
And also your hair turned out cute. You‘re always giving me strong Rose (Titanic) vibes anyway, not just because of your hair, and I absolutely mean this as a huge compliment. 😊
OMG! I was just telling my partner that Kate Winslet is the most beautiful actress ever, in my opinion. *HE DISAGREED* 😲😲😲😯😵🤯 I couldn't have imagined a higher compliment than this.🙏 Even if I don't see the resemblance, I'm terribly flattered. I think I need to go humble myself, or I'll burst😂 thank you so much! You made my day❤️❤️ thank you for watching!
😄 You‘re more than welcome, I truly mean it and I‘m glad that we agree about Kate Winselt being the most beautiful actress ever. 😅 It‘s always a bit risky to tell people that they remind you of another person. And I don’t know why but I made the same experience with men disagreeing on the obvious. 🤔
1. Ditch the velcro curlers. I don't think I need to explain why 😂 Use foam rollers or pin curls instead 2. Use larger rollers. My hair is nowhere near as long as yours and even I need to use larger rollers than what you used 3. Take smaller sections of hair. All that looseness as you got closer to the root is what caused the bottom to be curly but the top to be straight. 4. And I'm sorry about this one because it won't help you achieve a great set immediately, but...practice and trial and error. 5. Some amount of poof and frizziness is normal and accurate (if you're not Dita or an old Hollywood starlet. For those looks, I have better luck with heat sets, but am by no means good enough at them to offer advice).
Fwiw, I'm not convinced a setting lotion is necessary. It is if you want your set to last multiple days, but if you just want to style it a day here and there, you can skip it (to anyone with pin straight, hard to curl hair, I don't mean you. You should use the setting lotion).
I am screenshotting your comment 😂❤️ thank you so much for the advice! I'll try to use every single tip for my next trial and error session 😂 Happy New Year!🥳🥳🥳❤️
This makes me feel so much better! I've used all different kinds of rollers, but I don't know how to put them in or how to get that brush out! All the tutorials out there make it seem so effortless, but it's so not! Add to that the fact that my hair is chin length....you get even more poodle than you have. At least yours is still long and not an afropoof afterward! And velcro rollers can DIAF.
I cut my own. I used to use hair dressers, but I found that they either cut it too short, or they found it distressing when they cut my hair as I indicated, and they tried to style it in a modern way, and I looked ugly.
😂 It's a riot to make a hair dresser depressed about your haircut.
Your hair came out beautifully.
Ahhhh, the memories of velcro rollers. No thanks. I used to like (when I had hair long enough to curl) those bendy rollers that are made out of the soft foam sort of thing. Yes, the granny was right - a comb is much better than a brush. Mind you, I used to brush/comb and then the curls would totally disappear as though the hair had not seen rollers in the last 30 days or something. Great video.
Hahaha, thank you so much for your comment!😃🙏 I'll definitely try out the sponge rollers! Happy New Year!🥳
You are so hilarious and I love your videos. I have similar hair so my suggestion is large, smooth rollers. I had a friend that put tiny bobby curls all over my head and I slept in them. It was such a disaster. My brother also helped me comb out the snarled abomination after we dumped a bottle of conditioner on it. I truly thought my only option was quitting school at 15 years old and joining a religious cult where they shaved your head. Fortunately my Herbal Essence saved the day. You looked fabulous even after the attack of the velcro, I think the finished look was very pretty and vintage-esque.
Awww❤️ Hahaha "quiting school at 15 and joining a cult"🙈😂 I'm glad you didn't have to do that! Brothers do go through so much with their sisters, don't they?😅 thank you so much for your comment! If that's your kitty in your picture, it's gorgeous 😍 💕
I think your hair turned out absolutely GORGEOUS! ❤❤❤
This is an amazing motivational video! I am completely motivated now not to try curling my hair 😅😁
😂😂😂 that's probably exactly the moral of the story😂😂
I love you! You, sweetie are a stunning young woman👏👍👏 I used to roll my daughter's hair in rags like my Nana did for me. They are easy to sleep in.
You make great videos to watch and sit back with a cup of tea. I could tell you things as a hairdresser but I will not darling. I love your results.😍
Nana! I so badly wish you could just come over and teach me all your tricks!💔 I bet you're a treasure trove of knowledge about hair and hairstyles! I'm sending you lots of love all the way from Norway!❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
You need some foam rollers girl! I have long hair like yours and the foam rollers are very comfy to use. 👽
Thanks for the tip! May I ask what size rollers do you recommend?
@@Marlenasewing I use a 1.25 inch foam roller. I have about 20 and use almost all of them in my hair. My hair is about your length. They are a tight curl but I'll either purposefully leave them unbrushed or just take a bit to brush it out and get the look I want.
Gday Marlena. I still have lots of vintage rollers, I have to say I have not used them for some time; I feel your pain when sometimes the rollers catch the hair & pull, OUCH 😕Did you know if you wait for Spring or only keep any hair just before & or during Spring time the birds can use hair for their nests 🪆I did that only 1 Spring time 😀Do you ever watch Rachel Maksy? Rachel has made some hair vlogs 😀Thanku so much for sharing 😀💙
Pin curling, rag curlers or large "magnetic" curlers are your best bet. Your hair looks great by the way.
Oh, thank you!😃🙏I will check out the curlers you recommend!❤️
😂I laughed so hard I pee’d myself. I ❤❤❤❤ your videos - never stop being awesome. As far as the hair style I sent this video to my hairdresser bc - well I don’t know either 🤷🏽♀️😘
Hahahaha🙈 I'm glad it made you laugh😅❤️ I don't know if your hairdresser is Catholic, but I have a feeling she'll cross herself at the sight of velcro😂 well, live and learn 🙈
@@Marlenasewing a bottle of wine - ok maybe more than 1 bottle- and my hair dresser ( bc she is awesome and my best friend) and we will have you with your vintage hair style of your dreams. She’s does 1940’s hair styles on herself
Oh my god! Where are you guys located?!😍 having wine with two fabulous ladies and learning to do my hair sounds like something out of a movie 🤩
@@Marlenasewing we are in Cambridgeshire UK. Your just a ferry away 🤷🏽♀️😘
Oh poor thing, as soon as I saw you put in the velcro rollers I screamed noooo!!! They're awful for long hair, but I guess you figured that out unfortunately! I use sponge rollers, which are great for long hair too. They secret to not getting frizzy ends and to get a good brushout is to brush against your hand. Try it next time... You look beautiful nonetheless and I wish you a very Happy New Year! 🥰🥰
Thank you so much, Arietta! ❤️ could you please recommend to me which size of rollers should I get? I can see by your hair that you know what you're doing in that department 😍❤️ Happy New Year, beautiful!!!🥳🥳❤️❤️
For your hair I think you should get foam rollers with aproximately 3.3cm diameter. And use some kind of setting lotion. And when rolling try to tuck in the ends so there's less frizz...😊😊😘😘 @@Marlenasewing
I ordered new rollers in the size you recommended today😃 Happy New Year, Arietta!🥳
Thank you for the entertainment! 😂 RIP your ends 👽 but you look gorgeous anyway! ❤
The bright side of having curly hair is that when you do manage to figure out how to do your sets, you'll have it that way for eternity basically until you finally wash your hair!
I recommend foam rollers too, and on the larger side would work better since your hair already curls well. If your foam roller pack comes with several sizes, you can use the smaller ones on the bottom. Also, if you can get your hands on Lottabody setting lotion, I'd recommend that, it's amazing!
Thank you so much for watching!🙏❤️ your comment gives me enough hope to actually go ahead and try curling my hair again😃 (right after I purchase different hair rollers 🤣) Happy New Year!🥳🥳
Mesh rollers with pins or just hand pin curls are accurate for the foundation and they work really well. The mesh lets it dry faster.
I will try to get my hands on them! Thank you so much for your comment ❤️
Oehh 🫢 this was really scary!! 🫣 The sticky ones...✂️ But pfff you still have your beautiful hair!! 🤗😉
Hahaha I was so scared when the first roller got stuck in my hair!!☠️ luckily, it was only 3 rollers on the back of my head that were crazy like that. The rest was just... average painful 😂❤️ thank you for watching, and Happy New Year!!🥳
@@Marlenasewing Happy New Year!! 😄✨️🎉🎊🎊🌟👋
Wonderfully entertaining!! Lol great stuff
Glad you think so! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment 😊❤️❤️🙏
Love your videos! A couple of CZcamsrs I subscribe to have vintage hairstyle videos: Laci Fay the vintage girl next-door, and Miss Bee Townsend vintage tips. I may not have spelt all that correctly. Keep up your delightful videos!
Thank you so much!😊 🙏 I screenshoted your comment and will definitely check out the ladies you recommend!❤️
You need endpapers to keep all the flyaways together - little pieces of tissue that you fold over the end before you start to roll. 😘
Omggggg I wish I knew about that before I put those little devils in my hair!😂 thank you for the tip and for watching ❤️❤️❤️
For real not the worst i have ever seen. Also velcro rollers we all make that mistake once it is a learning experience :3
Aww, "not the worst" is probably the best compliment I could have hoped for here 😂😂😂❤️❤️ thank you, and Happy New Year!!🥳
👽 velcro rollers are evil. i have long hair, and i use fabric-coated soft sponge rollers that have wires in them so you can wrap them around the curls. they're usually cheaply made, so you have to be careful to sew the ends up if the wire pokes through or you'll be back in velcro roller-style hell. thin sections, spritz one roller's worth at a time, comb, and wrap your ends in toilet paper to keep them smooth and together while rolling. and use medium rollers for a vintage set--no wonder your hair was too tightly curled...i find those small rollers are best for the lower back of your head to give you volume. you can roller-set clean damp hair with a little setting lotion on it--that's how i do it. you and your hair are gorgeous; try a bonding cream to repair the damage, and whatever you do, please don't try to lose weight. you are perfect! ❤
You need to brush more and add pommade. ☺️ Brush against your hand.
I prefer using pin curls, it is easier to get beautiful waves.
Thank you for the tips!😃🙏🙏 I will use them for next time❤️
no expert on doing hair whatsoever but can share what i've learned - soft foam rollers or hot rollers, using the right setting product for your hair type (mine is pin straight and doesn't hold a curl so different struggles), trust the brushing process - it will look worse before it is better! there's some technique involved in brushing and smoothing out big chunks of hair, pomade helps with the frizz. And finally there are some lovely vintage hair tutorials out there on youtube :) very helpful. Good luck!
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm definitely going to try out the sponge rollers!😃 Happy New Year!🥳
you need the bigger rollers for hair as long as yours. My hair was your length until about a year ago and the small ones are too small (and take too long hahaha)
Could you please let me know what exact size of rollers you use? I would really appreciate your help😅❤️
I've got 2.5 and 3 cm, both work nicely. The other thing with those infernal velcro rollers is you have to make sure your ends are tucked all the way at the bottom. its counter-intuitive, but when the ends touch the roller and the hair wraps over it the ends don't suffer... as much. When you've got super thick hair like that (I do too!) you need to use much smaller amounts than you think... never more than the thickness of the roller - so for a 2.5cm roller you use only a portion of hair thats like 2cm - 2.5 of hair and less wide than the roller. Does that make sense? The last thing is that the higher you hold your hair when you roll the more volume you get. It's weird. I had to watch a few beauty tube videos before I got the hang of it, and then i decided it wasn't worth the effort.
PS i know it wasnt the style you were going for but i thought your hair looked great at the end.
@@Marlenasewing
Thank you so much! I ordered new rollers today😃 Happy New Year!🥳
Happy New Year! I hope it works. I dont have the patience to do it because it takes my hair so damn long to dry, and even longer if i've gelled it. I gave up and I got vintagey-midi cut last spring because It's easier for me to cope with (at least for a year or two, before i forget and grow it again)@@Marlenasewing
I pin curl my hair as I can’t do the Velcro rollers , but I pin them in a lazy way where I wrapped the hair around my fingers when it’s against the roots of the hair instead of rolling it from the ends of my hair as it takes to long haha and also harder
I don't have any advice at all, but karolina zebrowska has quite a few vintage hair tutorials aimed at beginners that might be helpful!
I have no advice, my hair absolutely refuses to curl and I feel like I've tried everything. Even when it does curl, it just falls flat within a couple hours 😢
Fortunately you're like, really pretty, so having wild hair doesn't hurt you lol. 👽
Uuuu, I bet you have the most silky, shiny hair ever 😍 (my childhood dream😂😅)
Also🙈❤️ thank you so much for your kind words and for watching!🙏❤️❤️
Nice video, love your style, thanks for sharing
Thank you so much 😊❤️ Happy New Year!🥳🥳🥳
I think it turned out cute anyway😊. Maybe in the short ends on the front you could put (I think they are called) hair alligator clips to form the wave and keeping it on it's place, after that a lot of hair spray tends to do the trick. This info comes for what I've seen others do and told me, but, my real experience is similar to yours 🫣🤣. Vintage hair is it's own beast to tame. Foam rollers are better than the Velcro ones that I know for sure 👍🏻
I'm ordering alligator clips right away! 😃 thank you so much for watching and for giving me some pointers.❤️ God knows I need all the help I can get😂
My hair is like yours, it takes everything literally!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 your comment is the best☠️🤣 Happy New Year ❤️🥳🥳
Happy new year to you too, I wish you alll the best for CZcams , may you get many thousands of subscribers in the coming months, you deserve it, your content is clever and amusing.@@Marlenasewing
Happy New Year! 🎉 Yeah, velcro rollers are only a good idea until you have to take them out. Maybe the ones you used were too small for your hair after all? You could try pincurls, they are not so painful to take them out.🤞
In the end practice helps! It will get better! 💪
Thank you so much!😃 I will definitely try again, but with sponge rollers 😅 Happy New Year 🥳🥳❤️
@@Marlenasewing Wish you all the best! 👩🦰
Instead of brushing with a brush, try using just your fingers? But it might just be your hair texture, as well as the length. And...IT WAS HOLLYWOOD! They had all sorts of stuff that we normies didn't have access to. Like hair stuff. But your hair is GORGEOUS, don't kid yourself! You look very Raphaelian!
Oh wow, that is an amazing compliment! Thank you!😵🙏❤️ and thank you so much for watching! Happy New Year🤗
I'm so sorry, the velcro rollers belong in the bin 👽 However the hair looked nicely curled and pretty. Hilarious video😂
Try blowdrying your hair straight then using hot rollers. That worked for me but inly one time and i coupd never recreate it 😂
Ahhh, I didn't invest in hot rollers yet, because I thought it'll be a disaster and I won't use them more than once... but I kind of want to give them a go anyway😅 are they so hot that they might scorch fingers, or are they just warm? Also, what size should i get?😅 I'm sorry for all the questions, but I.NEED.HELP😂😂❤️
@@Marlenasewing the ones I got are by Conair and there are 4 of the 1 3/4-inch rollers and 8 of the 1 1/2-inch rollers. They get pretty hot but they're not dangerously hot. I use heat protection gloves that came with my curling wand.
Love this!
Mrrerry Chistmas!
🤣
🙈🙈 and Happy Nyu Year!
While your hair looks amazing, if you want softer waves, you have to have bigger rollers. They should have all sorts of sizes at Normal without it costing an arm and a leg. GODT NYTT ÅR!
Aahhh I didn't see that Normal had them! I'm definitely going there tomorrow 😃 GODT NYTTÅR!!!🥳🥳🥳❤️❤️
Since your hair is naturally curly they should stay longer. Next time pls use foam rollers and setting lotion! Your hair will look so cute
Look up how to tie your hair with strips of cloth. We used to call it doing our hair in "rags".
Will do!😃 thank you for the tip🙏❤️
I have wished for hair like yours all my life. Mine is straight and fine and won’t hold a curl for more than an hour.
Grass is always greener, right?🙈 we're such funny creatures. 😅 I was watching a few tutorials and in one, a girl with very silky smooth hair said that it was easier to curl them after damaging them a bit with hair dye😅 I guess it doesn't sound very appealing but her hair still looked nice and shiny to me.
Love your usual hair. I think long curly hair is the worse to manage so you're at a disavantage there. Washing hair is overrated.
"Washing hair is overrated" is probably my new favourite quote 😂😂😂❤️ I will embroider it and hang it up in the bathroom 😂😂
Go check out the glambasador she has natural curls and will also explain the science of a wet set. Use pillow rollers or foam rollers or pin curls. Make flax seed setting lotion. your ends may be problematic no matter what mine always are.
Thank you so much! I will try out the flax seed setting lotion😃❤️
I am assuming you need to do pin curls or just use curling tongs as your hair in naturally curly.
👽 Jessica Kellgren Fozard has several great tutorials: how to curl your hair/vintage sponge roller tutorial. * Rita Hayworth, Veronica Lake, Lauren Bacall & a few others I think as well as some great tips if anyone is looking for good tutorials on CZcams
👽 Couldn’t find a green alien. Sorry. I’m also sorry I laughed.
Haha, thank you so much for watching, and Happy New Year!
I tried using brush rollers in long hair and it was a NIGHTMARE! They tangled in my hair and I had to tease the strands out, one hair at a time. I was very close to solving the problem with scissors! There many be some video tutorials on CZcams...
Sounds like a nightmare, indeed 🙈🙈luckily, I only messed up a few rollers on the back of my head.. but the rest of the rollers were still painful anyway☠️ thank you for your comment, and Happy New Year!!🥳🥳🥳
You look like Rose after the titanic sunk and I think that this is a good visual presentation from the last 4 years
I guess I deserved the title of a girl who survived a shipwreck of the century after not washing my hair for a week🙈🤭 but honestly, I wish I looked even 10% like Rose on her worst day. She's the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen in my life 😍
Where you’re going wrong…. First you need to use proper setting lotion - the stuff ‘old ladies’ use. Second, find a book that shows the curling diagram - if you don’t curl in the right direction it won’t work. And, third, probably most important, you need to apply heat - women would sit for hours under a hairdryer hood - watch any 40s/50s film with women going to the salon. A short blast from a hairdryer isn’t enough. Your curlers are also all much too big for the style you are trying to create, curls have to be much tighter because the weight of your hair will stretch them out. For the ultimate upper arm workout, you could also try using rag rollers and leaving them in overnight (wrap your head in a shower cap to generate some heat) and don’t use a plastic brush!!!!!! Natural bristles only! Ever! Your hair will thank you!
✍️🤓 I'm taking notes! Thank you for your comment 🙏
Use flexible curling rods.
I tried them and didn't like the process to be honest 🙈 I had to use a lot of product to keep them in place, and my hair was drying forever. But thank you for your comment ❤️ Happy New Year 🥳
I think i also have rabies 😂 Maybe all girls with long naturally curly hair have rabies 😅
Hahahaha 😂 this needs to be researched 😂 thank you so much for watching and for your comments!🙏❤️❤️
As a hairstylist of over 40 yrs you have no idea how much & how loud I'm screaming at you NOT to put those tiny rollers into your hair. 😧😨😱 Velcro rollers are the devil! I used them once & never again. PLEASE horde some smooth plastic rollers (larger ones for your hair length, texture, & thickness) & try again. It takes practice, but I know you can do it. I have faith in you. Just remember that in order to get a desired result you must use the best utensils at your disposal. Some women even used to use toilet paper rolls.....once the toilet paper was gone of course. 😂For what you used you did excellent. You just need to get better tools & practice. If you wish to sleep in your rollers, buy you some good foam rollers.....again, large size. Instead of starting at the very end of your hair, move up a few inches, roll the short end onto the roller, THEN proceed to roll to your scalp. Will make your life so much easier. Much respect from East Texas in the States 💖💖💖 OH!!!! And I think your hair turned out adorable! Maybe use some bobby pins to place your bang more to the side. But for what you had to work with you did AWESOME!!!!
Omg! Hahaha! I think I could kind of telepathically hear your screams🙈😂 I wish you could come over and teach me how to do this❤️ thank you so much for your comment. Sending you a big hug from Norway 😊
I like your videos! ❤ maybe you can make your upcoming videos with less effects. I think it would be more fun and calm to watch your videos with less effecting! I looking forward to see your new video!
Noted!🤗 thank you so much for your feedback ❤️🙏
👽
Aww, double thank you!!🥳❤️❤️❤️🙏
😠 'promosm'
Maybe you should just look in the mirror and realize how very beautiful your hair actually is.
I do enjoy watching your videos, but your language is quite offensive in my opinion. I realize it is my choice whether or not to continue watching just as it is your choice to speak as you wish, but as an older woman, I feel it detracts from the videos.
This is @rachelmaksy meets @MicarahTewers and I'm here for it! ❤ Love your videos! 👽
Oh my goodness 🤯 what a compliment! I have a lot to learn before I feel I deserve it, but it still made my day!!😅 Thank you so much!!!🙈❤️❤️❤️❤️
