I always say they did things like this because they didn’t have the constant entertainment we have now. Constant screens and tablets. So if you woke up at 7am, and had work at 9, you’d cook a whole breakfast, and slowly style your hair to burn time! Time is why we’re all slobs now! We would rather cruise tiktok on the couch! 😂
I love how practical 40s hairstyles are because they only washed their hair once a week! Cute hair scarf? Done. You don’t know how greasy my roots are mwahaha
Eventually your hair gets used to it. I'm a curly girl and co-wash once a week, clarifying shampoo once a month. Daily shampooing turned my hair into straw (my straight haired mom didn't know how to take care of curly hair), now it's the healthiest it's ever been.
@@scarletbitch866key words: curly girl. my straight hair is a grease factory within 1.5 days of washing it when unbleached and 2-3 tops when bleached. curly hair just tends to need more oil. hair training is a myth
If your scalp is used to washing it only once a week it doesn’t get greasy tbh… I used to wash my hair every two days and it was constantly greasy but now I’ve been washing my hair once a week for a couple years and it hasn’t been greasy ever since really. It took a transitional stage of a couple weeks of course, but my hair/roots definitely acclimated pretty quickly.
I curl my hair everyday for work and it's very close to the long, curled look except my hair is chin length but I had an older lady compliment my hair and she asked if I set it overnight and I embarrassingly admitted that no, I don't. She went "Ha! Don't worry, I was the same way! All of the girls I worked with would curl and set their hair the night before and looked absolutely perfect while I curled mine right before work and if I came in with no pins still in my hair and my blouse tucked in, it was going to be a good day because I was prepared!" and it just made my day bc I think we look at vintage styles and assume these women were more "put together" and mature than we are and while that might be the case sometimes, there was always some girl flying by the seat of her pants and trying to fit in with her peers and I got to meet one just like me!
People have always been people, and harried working women have always been harried working women. A lot of the times, we only see what what people of the past wanted you to see of history, like we don’t all like like actresses on magazine covers, but I’m sure the vintage dresser of the future might aspire to that.

Lmao a lot of working women did not style their hair too much. Some of them just had practical short hair. Nor did they wear much makeup, just a lipstick maybe
@@Eet_Mia I do that nowadays pretty often. I can never get myself to get up early enough to do a full face of makeup before work, but I can quickly apply a fun lipstick on my way out the door.
I remember my grandma doing my hair like the first one and we went out to her favorite store and got me 1940’s dresses, shoes and makeup. It was the last thing we did. I love the first one because of this
The scarf looks best in the hair. I met a Rosie the riveter at my dad's senior living facility. I said, "you're Rosie the riveter". She corrected me saying she was a Rosie the welder. 👩🏻🏭. 👏🏻
Those Abco curlers were absolute torture to sleep on. My Great Grandma used them when I was small to set ,y hair on Saturday for church on Sunday. I will say though my hair still had a curl to it the following week. 😊
I was going to make this same comment!! When we were very young, mom had the ones on the lower left for her hair, my sister and I were forced onto the abco ones for church. My sister cut off all her hair into a pixie to avoid the Abco curler fate! I soldiered on and begged mom to just teach my sister how to rag roll it into sausage curls. Because of shampoo shortage, mom grew up washing her hair in Fels Naptha soap & insisted on rinsing our hair in white vinegar to get all the soap out. Yikes I still hate the smell of white vinegar 😅
It’s hard to be white and wear anything on your head these days without being accused of “cultural appropriation” 🙄 I love wearing my head scarf when my curls are a mess but I have to run to the store. I’ll just throw on my trusty scarf and I’m instantly adorable. I wear a bonnet to bed too!
@@ErinMott09 Real life people probably won't accuse you of anything. Bitter, lonely, internet obsessed AWFL's will. And they only care about what you're doing because their lives are so mind-numbingly dull that being angry is a step up.
@@ErinMott09 The headscarf look here just looks like any British land girl, off to the munitions factory 🤷🏻♀️ It’s a classic period piece, not cultural misappropriation; historically accurate appropriation 😊 Go for it! Don’t live your life scared, you’ll be a long time dead 😮😊 (I’m cancer free for a year and it’s changed my perspective 😊)
Hairnets and sets SAVED me in college. It wasnt until my hands gave out that i stopped doing it - now that I have treatment for what was causing that difficulty I can have sets again!
@@Beauty_Bot I have a condition that makes my collagen extra stretchy, and another condition that makes the nerves not work well. So those combined to create severe tightness in my pectoralis minor, which caused severe hand pain. A trigger point injection on either side helped so much.
I LOVE the pin curls! I grew up with my grandparents in the 70’s. They were very kind and loving people. Every other night, after work, my grandmother would come home and clean up, wash her hair and sit at the kitchen table and talk and laugh while she put her hair in pin curls. The next morning her hair looked so pretty. These are some of the happiest times of my life. It’s funny how as we age, we find the simplest things from our past can give us the greatest joy. ❤
I clicked here thinking about my mom, heck even growing up in the sixties the house was full of curlers and bobby-pins (I've three older sisters too). Anyway, my mother was born in '27. She went to work at age thirteen working in a factory making parachutes during the war. So yes, some factories had a salons, fact is it was during the war factories started giving breaks in the morning and afternoon outside of lunch. So, women would take somewhere around that time. About nineteen percent of the factory workers were women during the war.
When I was in junior high school in the early 80’s I would get up early and wash and dry my hair then put it in hot rollers. It looked so good. I miss that devotion to hair I once had.
Everytime i went to go visit my grandmother who died at age 80( I think) has been doing pin curls for so long lol I would go over and she would havw her hair up in bobby pins
This made me think of how my grandma used to do her hair like this way and wanted to copy her hair style for early 90s throw back.. this hair style is so pretty to look at, it reminds me of angels would wear in heaven.. ❤
a tip for the scarf, when you have the first bit of the knot tied, tuck up that little triangle in front into the knot and finish tying the rest. also, you can fiddle with the sides a bit so that none of your hair is exposed.
The most common style I see online tend to be this longer fluffy brush out look (for obvious reasons: it looks stunning and is not hard to do when you get the hang of it) but by far the most common style you'll find in period is done on somewhat shorter hair (short to medium bob) it holds a curl longer (particularly since perms were the norm) is easy to style in a clean looking manner, stays put, doesn't go in your face and can be easily adapted to your face shape
When Marilyn Monroe was still Norma Jean she wore that big curl brush out look in the photograph that started her out modeling. It's very striking and can handle a lot of hair, because women weren't cutting their hair as often either. That's why you had the Victory Rolls.
I love the long bouncy curls mixed with victory rolls or something. My grandmother, who was in her 20s in the 40s, always wore her hair in that "working girl" style. I saw a 40's hair tutorial once that called her style some sort of "shingle" look. ❤
Needs more volume on top, trust me, do a few more curls on top so it gives a lift at the roots and more waves. It's worth going to the extra effort to do a more complex setting patern and creating a cohesive wave pattern.
agreed. i love her and her videos but these hair ones really are not accurate or good looking :( no pomade, no setting pattern, and not brushing it out nearly enough :( the looseness of her attempted victory rolls really demonstrates the issues. i think with a bit more practice she could get it looking great ! i just dont love how shes acting as an authority on the subject while demonstrating things so badly :(
Thank youuuu lol i feel bad but these were not it. The victory rolls with holes in them would never happen. I think she kinda rushed it too much and just couldnt execute it well. It’s not easy doing these hairstyles, for sure 😅
@@d3adfl0wer Totally. The biggest mistake I see is not doing a really good curl set, the setting pattern of your rollers or pin curls is crucial to having a good end style and a lot of people don't realise it. A great example are finger waves, if you do the right pin curl set it forms them for you without water and gel.
Love your slip! So authentic a treasure! Please do videos using each of those old time curlers. Show us the entire gamut of old hairstylist tools for each decade, Please!! ❤ Beautiful girl!!
The updo with the hair rat is lovely! It's very interesting that is was important for morale to style your hair properly. I thought it would be the opposite in wartime, as resources would be scarce, and it would be encouraged to live simply as possible. Anyway, looking forward to your future videos.
They actually encouraged women to wear red lipstick to boost morale and called it victory red! Despite all the rationing and shortages, extra special effort was made to still produce red lipstick and it was even sent overseas to the nurses on the front line so they always had some. They were really serious about women looking good all the time lol
I used to do those hairpin curls, if you want to make them set faster than waiting overnight you can spray them with water and let them dry like that :)
My grandmother was around eight when the war ended. She always had her hair permed my entire life. So much so a month before she passed she went and got it done so in her casket (she was around 90 pounds at her death) she could look like her as much as possible.
Making a hair rat out of your own hair is genius since it leaves so much room for error and it doesn't matter... But at the same time, the thought of just collecting my hair seems SO gross. lol.
Collecting your hair was done because there were no raw materials, and you could just pull it from your hairbrush. You can buy a bun form and just cut the circle in one place as a cheap/modern alternative. Have fun trying!
Back In The Older Days- There were always vanity sets available that came in many different designs/styles/textures/patterns & textiles that also came specifically with a "Hair Catcher" container as well as a matching "Powder Jar" and/or a matching Perfume Spray Atomiser bottle... and sometimes even came with the additional matching hand-mirror/comb/brush sets, too... along with a matching Vanity Tray to set everything in the entire Sets on to display it as a lovely completed set somewhere on your vanity table or on your dresser, desk, etc... in your Bedroom or Dressing Room. The "Hair-Catcher" container/jar from one of these old vintage Vanity Sets is just simply a small porcelain, glass, ceramic or plastic jar or container with a hole in the center at top of it.... where you simply just dropped & tucked in all of the loose hair that you had removed from your brush & comb in to it after you had finished brushing out your hair twice per day in the morning & evening and when you had finally collected enough of your own hair in these little vanity/dresser containers (that helped to hide all the ugly hair in them in much prettier little jars).. then you just simply twisted the Hair-Catcher apart to get out and then use your own hair that you now had which was everything that you now needed to make the BEST color-match possible for your new "hair-rat". 🤷♂️
When I worked in a lab it could get a bit grubby so I always wore a 1940s headscarf to keep my hair clean and tidy. Much nicer than a disposable hairnet
Haha I use a similar strategy to the scarf when I haven't had a chance to wash my hair in a few days. That's when it's time to hide the greasy hair with a headband!
I was in a musical that was set in 1959 and they made all the girls curl their hair, so I used heated rollers in the morning and pin curls during the day until we had to get into our costumes
Omg thank you! Ive been wanting to get curls and not pay a bunch to go to a salon. So im definitely going to try the pin curl method ♡ Hope you take care ♡
My grandma was 18 in 1944 and she told me that she and her sisters would use rags or socks to do their curls overnight on wet hair. She kept her hair short and they showered more than once a week. They also used Vaseline for shine on their lids, lashes, and lips.
My grandmother was in her late 20s in that Era and until she died in the early 2000s set her hair in brush rollers and wore it in soft curls like your first style. This reminded me so much of her, thank you! ❤
I have such FOND memories of my grandma doing our hair like this for sleepovers. She always taught us the importance of self respect and being your best self. I hated the fact my mom wouldn’t let me have longer hair. It was short. But, somehow she did her magic and it worked! Your channel gives me the kind of nostalgia I had with her. She passed in 2019, at 98, but didn’t look a day over 70. Always painted nails, hair done and lipstick. Even on the day she passed. She told my aunts that she wanted my grandpa to see her like when she was young…when they met again!
I love the curls. It reminds me of how my grandmother would set my hair with “rag rollers” as a little kid when I spent the night and went to church Sunday morning. All of the ladies would ooo and ahh over my hair. She would just use strips of rags, that used to be a flour sack, made into a skirt or apron, then downgraded to a towel, then down graded to a rag that eventually became rollers. Nothing went to waste. ❤
I love how bouncy it makes your hair! I actually like how the rat makes your hair look the best
What 😂

My only job is to marry rich
My father has no sons so I'm the one who has to social climb for one

That elevates his status
I'd have to be naive to set that aside
Maybe that is why I introduce him to Eliza
Now that's his bride
Nice going Angelica, he was right, you will never be satisfied
Thank you for all your service
If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it
I'll leave you to it
I know my sister like I know my own mind
You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
If I tell her that I love him she'd be silently resigned
He'd be mine
She would say "I'm fine", she'd be lying
But when I fantasize at night, it's Alexander's eyes
As I romanticize what might have been if I hadn't sized
Him up so quickly
At least my dear Eliza's his wife

You could still do it! But can you spare the time now in your 21st century life?
Let's do it again! I have hot rollers!
Ahh!! I had the books for the American Girl doll Molly, set in the 1940s, and in one of the books her sister does her hair with pin curls!
The book was changes for Molly
My grandma did it every night. With dry hair. She had her little zipper bag by the couch and would twist n pin her hair up.
ohhh I remember those books! Such nostalgia
All these looks are so pretty!
Thank you!!
Everytime i went to go visit my grandmother who died at age 80( I think) has been doing pin curls for so long lol
I would go over and she would havw her hair up in bobby pins
This made me think of how my grandma used to do her hair like this way and wanted to copy her hair style for early 90s throw back.. this hair style is so pretty to look at, it reminds me of angels would wear in heaven.. ❤
a tip for the scarf, when you have the first bit of the knot tied, tuck up that little triangle in front into the knot and finish tying the rest. also, you can fiddle with the sides a bit so that none of your hair is exposed.
The most common style I see online tend to be this longer fluffy brush out look (for obvious reasons: it looks stunning and is not hard to do when you get the hang of it) but by far the most common style you'll find in period is done on somewhat shorter hair (short to medium bob) it holds a curl longer (particularly since perms were the norm) is easy to style in a clean looking manner, stays put, doesn't go in your face and can be easily adapted to your face shape
When Marilyn Monroe was still Norma Jean she wore that big curl brush out look in the photograph that started her out modeling. It's very striking and can handle a lot of hair, because women weren't cutting their hair as often either. That's why you had the Victory Rolls.
I love the long bouncy curls mixed with victory rolls or something. My grandmother, who was in her 20s in the 40s, always wore her hair in that "working girl" style. I saw a 40's hair tutorial once that called her style some sort of "shingle" look. ❤
The springy curls look so cute and fun compared to the modern straight-ironed style.
Nah straight hair is more a thing of the 2000s
Now trendy hairstyles are very voluminous hair, 90s style, the butterfly cut is all the rage
@@Eniramoi yeah shags are very popular online, i even cut my own 😌
@@EniramoiI think she meant flat-iron curls, where you use a flat-iron to curl your hair. It definitely gives the curls a different look
@@adelineboswell6791 I'm not sure...
I enjoy doing half up-half down but they don't work that well in my half curly/half wavy and all very frizzy hair.
My grandmother used to do her hair in the first style whenever she went out. I always thought it looked so classy 😊
Needs more volume on top, trust me, do a few more curls on top so it gives a lift at the roots and more waves. It's worth going to the extra effort to do a more complex setting patern and creating a cohesive wave pattern.
agreed. i love her and her videos but these hair ones really are not accurate or good looking :( no pomade, no setting pattern, and not brushing it out nearly enough :( the looseness of her attempted victory rolls really demonstrates the issues. i think with a bit more practice she could get it looking great ! i just dont love how shes acting as an authority on the subject while demonstrating things so badly :(
Thank youuuu lol i feel bad but these were not it. The victory rolls with holes in them would never happen. I think she kinda rushed it too much and just couldnt execute it well. It’s not easy doing these hairstyles, for sure 😅
@@d3adfl0wer Totally. The biggest mistake I see is not doing a really good curl set, the setting pattern of your rollers or pin curls is crucial to having a good end style and a lot of people don't realise it. A great example are finger waves, if you do the right pin curl set it forms them for you without water and gel.
Love your slip! So authentic a treasure! Please do videos using each of those old time curlers. Show us the entire gamut of old hairstylist tools for each decade, Please!! ❤
Beautiful girl!!
I’m a ww2 re-enactor and I really appreciate videos like this! “The Long Big Curl look” is what I always go for when I do my civilian impression!
Omg u look so nice in all of your vintage outfits ❤👡👗
First one looks the best
The scarf is so chic I love it
My grandma had the old metal curlers from the 40ies. I loved to play with them 😢
I LOVE the first one❤
They’re all great. I actually think the 40s had some of the best hairstyles.
and the coolest shoes
These looks had a resurgence in the late 1970s. They were fun.
I ADORE THE FIRST ONE??? its so pretty!!!!
This is very useful! I’m about to be in production of White Christmas and have been looking for a tutorial 😄
The updo with the hair rat is lovely! It's very interesting that is was important for morale to style your hair properly. I thought it would be the opposite in wartime, as resources would be scarce, and it would be encouraged to live simply as possible. Anyway, looking forward to your future videos.
Looking good with less! Things are grim all overr but take pride in your appearance! That kind of attitude!
They actually encouraged women to wear red lipstick to boost morale and called it victory red! Despite all the rationing and shortages, extra special effort was made to still produce red lipstick and it was even sent overseas to the nurses on the front line so they always had some. They were really serious about women looking good all the time lol
I used to do those hairpin curls, if you want to make them set faster than waiting overnight you can spray them with water and let them dry like that :)
My grandmother was around eight when the war ended. She always had her hair permed my entire life. So much so a month before she passed she went and got it done so in her casket (she was around 90 pounds at her death) she could look like her as much as possible.
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Making a hair rat out of your own hair is genius since it leaves so much room for error and it doesn't matter... But at the same time, the thought of just collecting my hair seems SO gross. lol.
Collecting your hair was done because there were no raw materials, and you could just pull it from your hairbrush.
You can buy a bun form and just cut the circle in one place as a cheap/modern alternative. Have fun trying!
Back In The Older Days-
There were always vanity sets available that came in many different designs/styles/textures/patterns & textiles that also came specifically with a
"Hair Catcher" container as well as a matching
"Powder Jar" and/or a matching Perfume Spray Atomiser bottle...
and sometimes even came with the additional matching hand-mirror/comb/brush sets, too... along with a matching Vanity Tray to set everything in the entire Sets on to display it as a lovely completed set somewhere on your vanity table or on your dresser, desk, etc...
in your Bedroom or Dressing Room.
The "Hair-Catcher" container/jar from one of these old vintage Vanity Sets is just simply a small porcelain, glass, ceramic or plastic jar or container with a hole in the center at top of it....
where you simply just dropped & tucked in all of the loose hair that you had removed from your brush & comb in to it after you had finished brushing out your hair twice per day in the morning & evening and when you had finally collected enough of your own hair in these little vanity/dresser containers
(that helped to hide all the ugly hair in them in much prettier little jars)..
then you just simply twisted the Hair-Catcher apart to get out and then use your own hair that you now had which was everything that you now needed to make the BEST color-match possible for your new "hair-rat". 🤷♂️
Women running their workforces, running their households, and still spending hours to look perfect. We really are epic.
I’ve personally always loved the silk scarf look!!!
For me, definitely number 3. It looks really sophisticated and elegant. But other ones are really good as well
The hair salon on your factory? That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever ever heard.
Wait what’s this about salons in factories
The rope one is my first love in all of these hairstyles before and it will always will
The scarf is the ponytail with lots of hair products of the 40's. And it's so cute.
I remember my grandma still doing her hair in pin curls in the 90s. It's a fond memory I have of her
My natural hair actual looks like the first hairstyle with it's current length! Having my hair at shoulder length is so fun and it feels so bouncy
I love the brushed out first look, would definitely wear that today! 😀
Doing hair like this instead of with heat and putting it up at night and wearing scarves is probably why all our grandmas had such healthy hair!
Not me using the 40s bandana look to go to work in a factory now It just keeps some of the nasties off 😂👏🏻
The first style I have done so many times and I continue to love it
Awesome video! So cute plus educational ❤️
pin curls give me PTSD from getting my cosmetology license😵💫
When I worked in a lab it could get a bit grubby so I always wore a 1940s headscarf to keep my hair clean and tidy. Much nicer than a disposable hairnet
Can't possibly choose. All gorgeous! ❤❤❤🥰
Loved them all! Very flattering!
I love them all! Can’t choose a favorite because they’re all great for different reasons!
Definitely the scarf look ❤. And thank you for using a pic of Angela Landsbury. My fave 🥰
I absolutely love the long curls and the short hair with hair net ❤❤
Haha I use a similar strategy to the scarf when I haven't had a chance to wash my hair in a few days. That's when it's time to hide the greasy hair with a headband!
I was in a musical that was set in 1959 and they made all the girls curl their hair, so I used heated rollers in the morning and pin curls during the day until we had to get into our costumes
I love that you do these tutorials. Keep up the great work!!!❤
Having the norm be washing your hair once a week, sounds so relieving at the moment. I appreciate the styling video. Think I might give these a try!
Girl you look like Peggy Carter whenever you did that hair you slayed that
I'm a guy, but I like seeing women with hairstyles like that.❤
So pretty, I wish I could get my hair to look like this. I’m obsessed with the old Hollywood era as I call it, also the 80s/90s.
They all look so unique and interesting, but I like the first one
Omg thank you! Ive been wanting to get curls and not pay a bunch to go to a salon. So im definitely going to try the pin curl method ♡
Hope you take care ♡
All of them!! All of them are my favorite!!!
All of the hairstyles are beautiful. I really love they long curly one.🩷
The small fly away she had on her bangs when she first unrolled her curls was EVERRYTHINNGGGGG
My grandma was 18 in 1944 and she told me that she and her sisters would use rags or socks to do their curls overnight on wet hair. She kept her hair short and they showered more than once a week. They also used Vaseline for shine on their lids, lashes, and lips.
AB came through with favorite moments the episode.Great wagon!
I love the hair net look, especially the knitted or crocheted hair nets.
THE FIRST ONE! MUST READ!!!
OMG THE FIRST HAIRSTYLE REMINDS ME OF THE NOTEBOOK U LOOK GORGEOUS
The tight ringlets short hairnet look is my favorite
My grandma always used to pin curls on me because the reminded her of her childhood. I always loved it!
Those curls are awsome!!
From Lauren Bacall to the Andrews Sisters to Rosie the Riveter in 60 seconds! ❤
My grandmother was in her late 20s in that Era and until she died in the early 2000s set her hair in brush rollers and wore it in soft curls like your first style. This reminded me so much of her, thank you! ❤
I love all the hairstyles! You hit the 1940s spot on
Oh my god I just love that first one!!! It reminds me of Lorraine’s hair that she wore to the dance from Back To The Future! It’s so pretty!
Top left at the end is so CUTE!!!!!❤
I love how the curl bounce🌟🌟
I have such FOND memories of my grandma doing our hair like this for sleepovers. She always taught us the importance of self respect and being your best self. I hated the fact my mom wouldn’t let me have longer hair. It was short. But, somehow she did her magic and it worked! Your channel gives me the kind of nostalgia I had with her. She passed in 2019, at 98, but didn’t look a day over 70. Always painted nails, hair done and lipstick. Even on the day she passed. She told my aunts that she wanted my grandpa to see her like when she was young…when they met again!
Loved them all but the tied up with a scarf was very cute
Probably the first one for me. Looks very stylish in my opinion, and easy to do
The scarf 🧣 look was my favorite ❤
I love the first style! But all of them are great!
thats so cutee!! i love the first look its so fun.
I love the first and third! It's so cute❤
They’re all so pretty 😍
I love the curls. It reminds me of how my grandmother would set my hair with “rag rollers” as a little kid when I spent the night and went to church Sunday morning. All of the ladies would ooo and ahh over my hair. She would just use strips of rags, that used to be a flour sack, made into a skirt or apron, then downgraded to a towel, then down graded to a rag that eventually became rollers. Nothing went to waste. ❤
I love those vintage petticoats/slips. I wish I could get them.
love the curls! ❤❤❤
All looked so pretty 😍
The long, big curl look is so pretty, but I also like the look with the hairnet, that really looks “of the time” to me 😊
