Can I just say that the model is so pretty and she has some of the most beautifully colored eyes I’ve ever seen on a human being. The Victorian look really really works for her
Oh, this brings back memories of when I was in cosmetology school. I had a mannequin head with human hair. I found a book with hair styles from the 1800's and I made them all. My classmates though I was weird (this was back in 1981). Then I had a book of the big hair styles from the 60's and those were a bit more challenging but I enjoyed working them out. I love how this hair do turned out so lovely. Love, love, love it. The trick with the bobby pins and elastic was a real good one. It seems this would cause less damage to the hair and with sufficient hold. I recognized you from the last video. You lovely girl you. Thanks for the video.
I'm really looking forward to the 1990s. "Women often used foundation 4-6 shades too dark for their skin. The most popular eye look was a silver shadow to the brow and dark eyeliner. The women wouldn't remove their eye makeup daily so they would eventually end up with 3 eyelashes. The hair would be twisted back from the face and secured with iridescent butterfly clips. The look was completed with a baby pink crush velvet spaghetti strap mini dress, black platforms and a teddy bear back pack."
😂
Lmao
This video was very relaxing. I didn’t want it to end.
It's unintentional ASMR.
What would be nice is some more general information on how women did these styles without modern tools like heating irons, hairsprays, etc.
Otherwise a really nice video, I'm looking forward to the rest :)
as far as i'm aware, they would've used rags to curl their hair overnight
@@Lic021 They had curling irons back then, but they were made of cast iron. I don't recall how they kept them warm. Maybe they used the same way the warm their feet with a heat stool or bed coal pans. Nevertheless, they did have them, non-electric, and unpractical. Rolling their hair in rags was better. ;-)
@@chelinfusco6403 over the fire/oven
They did have curling irons made of cast iron, which had to be heated over a hot plate, which was in turn heated over a fire. It did not work well. In fact it was pretty ordinary for women to burn their hair off entirely using primitive curling irons, so wiser women would have used a variety of wet-set curling methods, such as rag curling, braiding, and pin curling. There was also a second method of heat curling, which involved heated tongs, which were pressed around hand-shaped curls wrapped in paper--this was the method that came into vogue in the 1770s and the direct result was that the 1780s had a fashion for short, frizzy hair--because their hair was so fried that long, smooth hair was no longer possible. Pomatums made of beeswax and animal fat existed, and they stank to high hell, so that they then had to be heavily perfumed to mask the scent. There were also a variety of herbal hair rinses and oils available to help hair grow stronger and healthier--and some of them, like castor oil and egg rinses, work well enough that a lot of people today still prefer them over modern products.
Also, headgear. A lot of that gorgeous hair was not their own. Poor women would sell their hair for money, and wealthy women would buy it and have it fashioned into extensions and pre-styled hair pieces that they could just pin on for a quick and easy hairstyle, or just to help fill out the hair they didn't have (possibly from having burnt it off.) They wore hats outside and, until the end of the Victorian era, they also wore caps inside except on formal occasions (and sometimes even then) which helped preserve hairstyles and conceal any untidiness.
ALSO, keep in mind that the style shown here (and in most other historical hairstyling videos) are styles worn by the upper class. Y'know. People who had nothing better to do than sit around sipping tea while their maid of hairdresser spent an hour on heir hair. One of the defining characteristics of pre-20th century fashion was that it was that it was accessible only to the rich. Ordinary people typically wore much simpler hairstyles--most of the time, they just pulled it back and threw a cap on it.
@@charliehockett5774 I'm glad you mentioned the fact that it was upper and middle class women that had fancy hairstyles as many people forget that the working classes couldn't afford or had time to do their hair elaborately and wear nice clothes. I wish more of these tutorials would show what the working classes looked like in different time periods as it's a part of history that is often skipped over as people don't want to be reminded of their hard lives. Thanks for sharing your information as it's very informative.
Kate has a lovely face, darling freckles, clear eyes, nice hair -she looks just perfect, really.
It's like a backwards mullet...........Party and the front and business at the back.
How do lower class style their hair? How do the different classes take care of their hair? Did they use a type of shampoo? Conditioner? I'm so curious! And looking forward to more of this series!
I think poorer women would plait their hair and then pin up the plaits? with a cap or bonnet or scarf over the top
shampoo and conditioners as we think of them today weren't used, but as there were potions for skin, there were also potions for hair, for making the hair smoother. however, most of the maintenance came from daily brushing (to distribute natural oils from the scalp) and keeping it covered most of the time to avoid it getting dirty
or just a bun. it's hard to find evidence of course but I've looked at a few photos of women in slums and it looks like theirs is in a bun or pinned up plait, and one of a poor woman making clothes with her hair in a pinned plait which forms a circle around the back of her head, like a crown braid but further back
I do know they used eggs to wash their hair. Believe it or not, egg whites are good for the hair. Have you ever used mayo to repair dry-damaged hair? Try it. I don't know if they used a vinegar rinse or not, but apple cider vinegar makes a good hair rinse and fabric softener. ;-) Augh, my head is full of useless information. Sorry.
@@chelinfusco6403 do you follow the curly girl method by any chance? :P
@@chelinfusco6403 I appreciate the information in your head. The mayonnaise helped repair like 3 years of bleach damage from my hair!
Kate has gorgeous eyes. I'm jealous!
Well done! Liv has such a calming voice and I love how much detail she goes into when explaining. Kate has such lovely eyes and is a gorgeous period model for these videos!
I can't wait to see the Edwardian era, as I'm making an Edwardian outfit now!
Honestly, I can't wait for the day you guys cover ever single decade's style of dress. This was lovely! :D
I love you
I love kate
I love this channel
This channel is a time portal
Please create more content that takes us back in time.
Also i love the historical event reference format of your vids.
Wow! The hairstyle looked a bit strange to me at first, but once she was in the dress it made so much more sense! Such a lovely look.
The addition of the comb in the back of the hair is very nice. Along with the dress which is so lovely on Kate. A very nice look. Thank you for showing this can be done.
you guys should do a sort of “Gone with the Wind” inspired getting dressed video! like, southern fashion in the 1860s (is that when it was set? i can’t recall)
faith moir yes they should, its called the Antebellum South
I find these videos absolutely fascinating and Liv has such a lovely voice, engaging, calm, informative. The BBC should snap her up!
This tutorial works better on nerves than a thousand ASMR whispery videos. I'm totally relaxed! Beautiful work, too 😍
Kate is very pretty; big eyes.
Can’t wait for more!
The model is full of patience and charm.
I don't know why I kept thinking of Blanche Ingram while watching this. Please please please, people, will you try to do a Charlotte Brontë themed video the way you did a Dickensian and for Mary Shelley 😅😅
What a beautiful model!
I’m rewatching this cuz it’s so calming! I’m supposed to go to bed but I’m watching this instead lol.
Edit: and here I am again at 10:30 pm
I really enjoy your videos. Especially getting dressed in the different centuries. You girls must have so much fun doing this kind of work, and always getting to wear those gorgeous dresses from many years back.
oh, I need the version without music!!! This mua's voice is sooooo sooooothing!!!
Wow. Once again another AMAZING video, i love the ones when u feel like you can get involved by actually trying it which is also very interesting to see how it feels for a fancy dress party or something. You all r very inspiring.
Absolutely gorgeous! The model, the hair, the tutorial, all of it just gorgeous!
She's really lovely!
Very much enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing it!
Your voice is so soothing!!!! And this whole look was so pretty! The makeup suits her beautifully! So natural. You get an idea of how complicated the hair styles were as well. Loved this video!!!!♥️♥️♥️
Listening to her voice was so soothing! Fantastic video and narration
This is a lovely work. My compliments to the artist and the canvas!
Oh my god how pretty that looks!! Model looks snatched straight out of a period film!!
I really love Liv's voice. She is so relaxing I could listen to her talk all day.
I love these videos they’re so calming
Very pretty. Your model has gorgeous thick hair. I have fine, thin, pin straight hair and I'm so glad I didn't live then as I have a hard enough time now trying to make it look thick. Thanks for sharing your video and a bit of history.
P
This is awesome! I can’t wait to see more!
Absolutely lovely, Liv!
I went to a Dickensian Christmas ball in full, traditional costume (had to rent the gown and accessories) and had my hair done up just like this! My regular stylist really enjoyed (re)creating it for me. It was such fun and a wonderful memory. We had rehearsed traditional dances from the era, in the weeks leading up, and even the desserts served during the intermission at the ball were of the era and it was held in a building ballroom of the era.
What did the combs, brushes, and other tools that they used back then look like? That would make for an interesting compliment to many of these videos. I bet our modern tools make it faster to do these styles. (I've read about hair being done, in historical novels, and they talk about using hair curling irons that have been heated in hot coals!)
This video was wonderful I really enjoyed the beautiful music that really helped to set the tone
Belladonna is still used when opticians and eye doctors need to dilate the pupil, but in much more controlled doses.
I love these videos! Can't wait to see more from the 1930s and 40s.
I love this! Thank you so much. As others had said, more information about how the hairstyles were done historically would be fantastic. At the same time, I adore that you are using modern (aka faster and probably better for the hair) methods in the video and on your lovely model so I can try these styles on my own without having to spend a whole day working on it or feel the need to use a leave-in conditioner the following day to fix the mess I made. haha.
When it comes to the curling iron it is rather accurate. But of course it wasnt one run by electricity. Ruth Goodman ( historian and reenactment, one my know from Victorian farm etc) stated in her book "How to be a Victorian" that people would use iron wands, that they would heat in an open fire to curl their hair. It is imaginable that it was very damaging for the hair and that it was no uncommon for curls to get fried and ripped from the head.
I do this hairstyle now kind of but curl the hair away from the face and put the back section in a clip, very pretty and elegant! Wonderful tutorial!
So beautifully done. Very interesting. The lady doing the tutorial has such a soothing voice. It made me feel quite relaxed . The history of makeup and how they did their hair is fascinating. Would love to see a tutorial with other classes. Thank you
Kate’s hair looks so soft :o both ladies are so lovely 💐
That hair plus classic Valentino gown so breath taking. 💖💙💚💛💜
Love the beautiful hair styles.keep up your beautiful works doing hair.
What a wonderful video, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
It's so pretty. I love how soft the curls came out, and the lovely comb in the back. I think one could still pull off this style in modern times.
Do a 1860s southern belle “getting dressed”!!!
Suits her very well, really lovely model
Can you please do a getting dressed in the 1860s video? It's one of my favourite decades for fashion.
Such a soothing voice...
Beautiful work! And a fantastic, simple to understand, tutorial! :D
Thanks!!, Thank you sooo much, It really helped me a lot to get dressed for my French Revolution skit. 💖💖👍👍
Love this hair style it's pretty for a wedding prom or a 🎄 Christmas or Valentine's Day ball.👗👠💝
So excited for this series! I would LOVE to see more period methods for styling but I also see how modern techniques may make this more accessible for some. I reenact at an 1840s fort in Vancouver, Wa so an earlier Victorian ‘do would be neat to see but styling secrets from ANY decade, or century, would be very exciting. Also, we have many youth volunteers so we would love to see something on children’s hairdressing. Keep up the fantastic work! ❤️
Girls in Victorian times often used to wear their hair in lose curls. In the evening maid would put some water on their hair after brushing them, and then wind the strands of hair on the pieces of white cotton textile, forming so called "rug curls". Girls would sleep through the night with these "rug curls" on, and in the morning maid would carefully take away the textile, brush hair a little bit, and sometimes put the ribbon on the girl's crown. On many pictures of Victorian period boys also have curls, but shorter, than girls. If many girls could have their tresses down to the waist, boys were sporting locks to the shoulders.
For Christmas Yes, that's right! We curl our hair this way all the time. Although, we know them as "rag curls." Which always seemed intuitive since rags are used to form the curls. I'm curious, do you have the origin of the term "rug curl"?
@@petuniaandpoppy4615 I guess, ladies were just using rags, thorn into pieces, for binding their curls in place over night :D And somewhere it was pronounced&written as "rugs", and in somewhere else,- as "rags".
Beautiful work ❤️
So interesting! Your model is beautiful!
I could watch it all days
Fascinating. A lot of work to produce this look.
Belladonna was also used to dilate their pupils- basically giving them that "Wide eye look" of stimulation- A.K.A" bedroom eyes
Wow her hair is so pretty, especially when it's up in the style! It's kind of funny cause the last video I watched of yours was the Dickensian Christmas one.
This was so relaxing. I loved it. :)
Thank you, for this. I dressing up as a Victorian Black Veiled weeping bride for Halloween and this is helping me a lot
You do beautiful work! I’m new to your channel, and I have 35 years experience and I am def learning from you. I love the Gibson Girl.
lovely video!
Kate is a perfect foil for both the hairstyles and the clothes..she has such a petty fave and beautiful eyes 😀
Ive always wanted to learn how to do hairstyles like this. I love lot of old hairstyles and wanna learn how to do them all.☺
I love the video❤😍😍
Beautiful✨
Lovely hairstyle
I noticed a lot of comments about wanted it to be more natural for the time era but we have to remember some of the method were more time consuming and/or damaging to the hair. So it's just being replicated with modern items for less time and I don't think it so bad. It does look like vintage pictures I have seen of this hair style.
It is very true that some cosmetics from this period were poisonous, but sources like "A complete treatise on perfumery" by P.Pradal of 1864, remind us that some ladies used rice powder and also starches for their face rather than more toxic materials (the latter I haven't seen in this source, but others from the era). As for the "red paints", while he gives one recipe with cinnabar, an extremely toxic mineral, he mentions how that recipe had gone out of fashion. Pradal mostly talks about using carmine, which is used in cosmetics today. It comes from a beetle (and is not vegan friendly). In the "white paints", he talks about how some druggists of the time used lead (and he says they also "introduce poison to the animal economy" which is pretty cute) , but others used talc. Today, the FDA claims talc is "safe" for makeup and the like. So, I think it is true that some toxins were making it into the makeup industry at the time, but from what I have seen, most people were very aware of toxins and generally stayed away from them, not only in avoiding makeup, but in using safer alternatives that are even used today and have been used for a rather long time. Nevertheless, this was really fun to watch and I think I should watch the series now.
Peace!
Edwardian hairstyles please!
its amazing!!!!! i love it))
She has an ancient face. Breathtaking. Perfectly fits in any era form the past!
This is so satisfying. It makes me sleepy.
Lovely video - I very much enjoyed. Thank goodness I didn’t live back then - I have super thick, straight hair that can’t hold a curl for longer than 2 minutes. I can’t imagine going to all that trouble, getting in a carriage to go to an assembly and arriving like I was pulled backwards through the hedge. And that’s before even doing one dance. I’d be no belle of the ball, that’s for sure!
Same, just same...
Great video!
There is something mesmerizing about this woman’s voice.
Lovely. I'd like to recreate some of these historical hairstyles but I'm afraid I don't have enough hair for it. Might be time to invest in some good extensions, though finding ones that match my hair colour could be difficult.
Very good.
I enjoy these videos but ...if you're doing an 1860s look, why would you leave the freckles uncovered and put on rouge? What's the point in doing the look of the time if you .... don't do the look of the time?
Why is Liz so relaxing? 😊
Thanks so much for posting this! I am a civil war reenactor (1860's) and I find this type of video (period correct hair and makeup) very helpful. Can I also just say that Kate is already so gorgeous she hardly needs any makeup.
I always wonder if it’s possible to do such hairstyles with natural curls without straightening them first? Love your videos!
My granddaughter of 2 months is your newest fan. She was very fussy and after I put on your video about 5 minutes she started relaxing and smiling. Thanks Liv!! 😂
Wow!
Listening to this whilst sewing is so relaxing, beautiful video as always
Awsome!!
Wow Live Free, she is so beautiful and gorgeous
I get more asmr from this girls videos than any asmr-tist ever 😂
From the side this model looks exactly like me without makeup and it freaks me out 😂 great video
The model is making me miss having my hair long 😭 Amazing video as usual
How would the ladies actually pull these styles off? What would they use?
Lovely hair, makeup, and model. 💕
You have a lovely voice Liv! Shame you don't do ASMR videos :)
