Many years ago, when I was a 20 yr. old with waist length ashe blonde hair, I worked in a high class department store that had a beauty salon. One day a man approached me and asked if I would do some modeling for the visiting stylist from New York city. Sounded like fun so I went after work and let him have at it. Several hair styles later I left the salon with the most elaborate Gibson girl style I've ever seen I felt like a movie star.
What a great experience! Did you get a lot of admiring looks? Did anyone talk to you about your hairstyle?
@@adrianblack608 I guess I should have gone out on the town, shouldn't I? My family and boyfriend were very impressed. Too bad I had to pull it all out at bedtime. There were so many hair pins holding it all together I could never have slept on it! Fun while it lasted!!
@@nancyfenity9817 Aww, well at least the most important people got to enjoy your beautiful style!
Oh, good for You!!
What a lovely experience, kind of like Cinderella all over again!!!
I do hope that you got some photos taken!!!
Thanks so much for the lovely story!!😊😊✝️⚜️
@@CroixdeLorraine can't do photos it was 40 years ago, but I did feel special to have a celebrity hairstylist doing my hair. Totally unexpected, but it did lead to me doing more modeling for the store as well as at my next position at the Photography Dept. of the Rochester Institute of Technology for both students and professors. Fun when you're young.
When my sister got married, she wanted a Edwardian/Victorian look to her wedding (she didn't want the wedding to be an 80's or 90's look and wanted the pictures of her wedding to appear "timeless"). She wore a Victorian type of dress and had her hair up very similar to this. She looked beautiful.
Beautiful model, perfect for this look, and love the orange tabby, too-very enjoyable, but definitely need a ladies maid !!
Would love to see photos.
Oh, how lovely! I loved my hair when I got married--it was very Waterhouse, lots of flowers in it--but something like this would have been my second choice!!
She was so smart with this choice
@@alrad5149 - me too!
My grandmother was born in 1901 and I once asked her how they got their hair to stay in place without the use of modern hairspray, she told me they used sugar and water solution!
Oh, the ants and bees would love that, haha. Brave ladies. I know salt water texturises hair, making it thicker and stiffer, but I would imagine sugar would set better -- sticky! :D Thanks for your comment -- so interesting.
Theybalso used starch like the powder...
Mine was born in 1899. As a child, I used to watch her do her hair up in pin curls while watching tv. She had the 1920's finger waves until she died in 1996. I asked the same question and she said the same thing! Sugar water.
And in the 40's my mother and friends also used beer after washing to thicken the hair
We used soap in the 80's
Wore a "Gibson" for years....my hair was long, reached my bra on my back. You need THICK hair. Hang your head upside down and brush, pull together with one hand, straighten up and "poof" the hair to where you want it. Then take the remainder of the hair and wrap into a small bun. Secure with bobby pins. With silky, thick hair, it's easy to do. (My grandmother showed me...she was a real Gibson Girl with an 18 inch waist.
Katherine Burbott that's how I do it, for everyday use and in the theatre
I have had long hair for decades. It had to be cut when I broke my wrist. It is back, but to the mid-back not below the waist. I also bend over to style my hair. My current favorite is what I call ‘the messy French Twist. I bend at my waist, using a banana clip, gather my hair in the clip and ‘roll’ it up and fasten it loose look on top of my head with a soft Barrett. Then I move the rest to the side, brush my bangs that I am growing out to the side. And set with hairspray, Just a bit. Practice and it is quick and easy, less that 10 minutes.
@@HawkMother Why your hair had to be cut when you broke our wrist? Because you couldn't brush it?
@@Pavlinka__ Yes,
Her face is full of light, beautiful model! Perfect expression for this hairstyle, demure and refined.
Yeah thats what i though. When she smiles her face really lights up
Thank you Liv for sharing your extensive knowledge. I am a 57 year old man who is more likely to spend his spare time working on his land and yet you kept me watching until the end. So, good work!
My great Aunt Hannah once told me she used a padded felt hoop, bit like an Alice band, to get the height in her hair. I have a photo of her as a young woman with very high hair! She was born in 1889.
I wonder if she made up the padded felt hoop just to use in her hair?
Col Jackson I really don’t know but as Auntie always sewed and knitted I would expect she did make it herself. I remember she taught me to sew and knit and crochet when I was a child. She was an old lady when I was born and lived to be 99, just a few months off reaching 100 when she died. She was always independent to the end of her days.
@@lizcolton9832 wow, your Auntie sounded like an amazing lady & that's good innings, to live till nearly one century.
I remember the ladies at the ladies 'rest home's next door to our family, when I was a child, taught me to crochet & knit & sew but I took off as a teenager & lost all the skills. We don't know what we give up when we are young & want to be travelling. The words "Forgive them, Father for they know not what they do" applied to my early years, without question. (lol, possibly now too!) ... How amazing for someone born in the 1800s to watch how different life had become - my generation already had cars & TV but the internet was yet to be a everyday part of life, so it wouldn't have been the same as someone born in the days of your Auntie.
PS: I often wish I could remember how to crotchet! Not that I'd know what to make. I'd love to know how to darn too - I used to watch older people darning the heels on socks, with a hoop & that intrigued me!
Col Jackson yes, she was pretty resilient! Amazing to think how she lived through all those changes, from barely a car on the road to the roads being full of them. She was one of the first people in her street to have a telephone and a tv. She lived through two world wars. She lived in Rubery, Birmingham UK. She told me that she and her next door neighbour watched from their front gardens the Spitfires defending the Longbridge plant when the bombers came over during the war. She was a large part of my childhood, I used to stay with her for a few weeks during the summer holidays. She was very smart in her dress, although somewhat old fashioned, but then she was an old lady by the time I knew her. She used to dress my sister and I in very old fashioned trews and hand knitted jumpers and insisted we had our fringes cut short, which we didn’t much like! Lol! Happy days though. It’s nice to remember her :) btw. If I can find that photo I’ll try and post it. I have a lot of old family photos in my loft so I need to sort them out.

I love this so much. Honestly if it was practical I’d wear it all Edwardian all the time. It’s so much fun and so beautiful
Berkley Pearl if it were practical being the key phrase
Same with me(and jf my hair wasn't so short)
You can adapt it to make it practical! Bernadette Banner's video on this is great!!
Talar Asdourian yes! I love the way she does her hair. It’s very elegant and lovely. Rachel Makesy just uploaded a video about Edwardian hair too. I think I need a hair rat. So I can just pin all my hair on top of my head over a big, fluffy, donut shaped, hair rat. That might be easiest
My grandmother was born in 1892 and lived until 1991. She wore her in a Gibson type until she died with beautiful combs. I saw pics of her in 1910 with her hair done high and pretty. Always loved it. When I danced, my mom would do my hair like it too.
Wonderful. I've always thought that Edwardian fashions were by far the most feminine of all, and this young lady looks totally authentic.
Ja toll wunder schone Frisur nur braucht man dazu einen Friseur, diese schone Frau kann so im Film mit spielen .
My grandmother was born in 1900. She told me that women at that time combed their hair over bunched up rags to create height and/or width. They called the rags "rats". I guess that's why when hair is backcombed to create volume we say we are ratting our hair. My grandmother had waist-length hair all her life until she died in 1979. She held it all together in twin French twists with a whole bunch of u-shaped hairpins. She would sit at her vanity table and mirror and take all the hairpins out and brush her long hair while I sat beside her. I would pick up all the hairpins that fell on the carpet.
Or you save up all the loose hairs from your brush and create "rats".
A “Rat” was hair padding made from your own hair. My grand- mother had a dish with a lid on her vanity. Every time she cleaned out her brush she would save the
“ Rats” to make into hair padding. Thus the name.
Was the "rat" stuffed into a hair net or something? Was it woven or what? I've always wondered.
I think they felted them. Washed them in hot, soapy water over and over, rubbing the hair together until it was a single mass. Then they would shape the felted mat into the shape they wanted. They also saved hair to make art. They used to weave, braid and sew hair onto a linen or cotton backing, just like embroidery cloth. They usually made floral patterns. Blonde and ginger house guests were especially welcome and always provided with covered receptacles for their daily brush cleaning. The blondes and redheads really pepped up artwork that was nearly all either shades of browns or grays.
This is very informative. I will see if i can find tutorials to do that. It is eco friendly! And I have tons of hair to do that.
thanks for sharing! I will start doing that !!!
I always am grossed out when I have to wrench the mass of hair out of my brush, I don't think I could keep it like that
What a beautiful model! Honestly, I love Gibson Girl illustrations. It was fascinating to watch those gravity-defying hairdos come to life in these videos. Thank you as always.
The stylist too
16:40 Something straight out of a BBC period drama. She is absolutely lovely...
I have a Gibson Girl photo of my great-grandmother, Emma Jean Earp. Yes, she was one of _those_ Earps, double first cousins, once removed, to Wyatt and his brothers. It was taken upon her graduation from teacher's college sometime between 1895 and 1900. She looked absolutely beautiful in those photos.
And this is why I need a lady’s maid.
😂😂😂
😊💕Exactly my thoughts
Right... Lol
if you want practice. I can play the old aunt. I have thick enough hair to the top half of my..."fundamental" or about 4 inches below the waist.. I'd like this done.. may take much turn taking sessions.
😂😂😂 same! I don’t have the patience to do this or wait
my grandmother raised me and as a child when she'd curl my hair I'd be in awe, but everytime she'd go to brush them out I'd throw a tantrum. Get SO mad and usually said something along the lines of " you just made them pretty why ruin it!!"
This young lady had the right amount of hair and curl and the look of an Edwardian young woman. Came out very nicely.
It's very beautiful but I'd like to see how THEY did it...no hairspray or bungee ties I'm sure.
you can find a few videos about it here on youtube! The fact is that it's a little bit harder to get that hairstyle, as the shampoo was different, the hair was washed less and the boar hair brushes really gave the perfect texture for that hairstyle, something that is hard to reach nowadays without damaging the hair. I'm sure if they had more time they would have pin curled her hair, or used rags, and would probably have saved a big hair rat from her own hair!
@LMC But then you're also sacrificing volume + the classic flyaway hairs associated with this look to the weight of the water and inconsistent drying... unless you're talking about just rag/pin-curling the hair wet before styling it dry.
Hair wasn't washed so often and I imagine their shampoos didn't strip as many natural oils from the hair as our shampoos do today, so there was a natural build up of (dare I say it) grease! So it was easier to get it to stay put! Plus if you were doing this every day your hair would be 'trained' so to speak and go back into the shape you wanted more easily.
They most likely used setting/curling lotion for hold instead of modern hairspray. This was usually made out of things like starch mixed with water or even water boiled with flax seeds.
The hair bump was dead wrong, so was the bun. The hair was sectioned off and the back half was bunned like a normal bun. The front half was brushed backwards and the ends were folded under to create the volume. Unless your hair is brutally straight, you have no need for curling or hairspray or anything. Everything was held together with careful weaving, hairpins, and maybe one ribbon tie.
Now I know why when my hair was tangled as a kid, my mother and other female relatives of her generation would say: “You have rats (matted tangles) in your hair”.
Hello! My grandmother was born in 1888. She was a young lady of the high class and 20 years old in 1908. I remember seeing her combing her hair as this so many times, in the 70's, when she was already over 80 years old. She still had very long hair and used little toupees (donuts) and a lot of hair pins over her head to create the bulges, but they weren't that high. It took her 10 minutes at the most to do her hair. I liked to watch while she combed her very long white hair.
An easy Edwardian, but not Gibson Girl, style is a loose sort of bun. I would bend over, make a loose pony, stand up, and let the loose part sort of sag evenly around my crown, then make a bun or knot. A lower class, washer woman sort of big hair style, quick and easy.
bcgrote Yep, I have done that one myself- the “cottage loaf” hairstyle.
Sounds very pretty, as well, in it's own way!!
I wonder if my Victorian ancestors wore cottage loaf styles for everyday!!
They came up very poor and di
Me, too.
Yes. I picture a Gibson as having more height at the very front. Kind of forward balanced and counterbalanced by the hat a woman would wear. The style depicted was beautiful, but missed the exact mark just a tad. Not trying to be critical. Gorgeous nonetheless.
Don't you need thick hair for real Gibsons?
If you want a true reproduction product instead of the modern hairspray you should use LBCC Historical Appothocary's Victorian Hairspray or their Curl Set. AMAZING products that don't leave the same residue as modern hairspray but allow for curl definition. I love the bottle of Curl Set I bought. (I am not affiliated with LBCC Historical in any way just adore their products.)
I use their 1930s Rose Curl Set! It's true, it's an authentic recipe that works just as well as hairspray without the residue.
Any idea where to find these products?
@@sleepywagtail where can we find this product?
Are they toxin free do you think?
@@allicianpeters3595 They have an Etsy store! Look up LBCC Historical, or the shop name "LitttleBits" (yes, 3 t's). They're also on instagram
This is the most flattering hairstyle for my long thick brown hair and very square face, but I cannot manage it on my own (nor can I get my husband help me!) and so I am always trying something easier to do on my own which will result in a similar silhouette.
I do love your "two-bobby-pins-through-a-hairband" technique. I copied it for the first time today and I like it. It seems less likely to pull out my hair when I undo it later than the common way of using hairbands.
(BTW, I don't think my husband is at all unusual in being unwilling to help me style my hair. Like most men, he likes his wife to look pretty, but wants to imagine that she just is, with no effort, LOL. The older I get, the harder it is to pull off that illusion.)
It's a pretty hairstyle but it's 2019.. this isnt flattering on anyone unless you're heading to a period themed party or are acting in a production.
I have similar hair and love styles like this too, it is difficult but you can do it yourself with a bit of practice. After a while you develop a level of touch sense, I can do most styles without a mirror now because I can sort of "feel" how it looks. Have you tried twisting the sides then rolling the rest of the hair up towards the head? Rachel Maksy has a vid on it - czcams.com/video/G1gPL1MLrWQ/video.html (style at 3:09) You can backcomb the side pieces for more volume and push them towards your face to make them bigger.
katheriner10 I’ll give it a shot! Thank you so much.
Adelina.Rose You have a valid point; I aspire to a “toned-down” version of this hairstyle with less volume but a similar silhouette. I don’t want to backcomb my hair or use a “hair rat.” (What a dreadful name for a hair-styling accessory, LOL.)
Mostly I need more height. I like my bold-looking square face, but too much volume at the lower sides of my face and it is extremely unflattering.
Such an English Rose indeed 😻
I'd need a lady's maid for such sculpture for sure! And a lot of extensions 😅
Who would have predicted, a few years ago, that this fashion would come back into style in a big way? Certainly has a lot going for it...a gorgeous look...if a tiny bit impractical for every day!
well it already came back in the 70s so it's not surprising really.
I love these tutorials! Kate is a lovely model, Liv explains the technique clearly and it's so relaxing to watch.
Oh my goodness this is perfection! Brings me back to my obsession with books of this era. 💕
Yess!
Gorgeous hair on a beautiful model. And the stylist is a beauty, too, along with her adorable ginger kitty.
Amazing work :)
Also, that's just about the orangest tabby I have ever seen.
Wakeup GrandOwl: We had one just like that. The kids named him "Orange Peals." He was a stray who came to the door and followed on of the children inside.
My cat is orange and white with similar stripes and when they’re outside the light makes them look SUPER orange
Beautiful video! Since women had hair long ... past their hips, they probably had plenty to puff up (along with their saved hair from their brush). Oily hair and pomade to hold it together. They probably only washed their hair once a month...thinking of my grandmother
Wow.... what a great job on this video. Honestly, it feels like you are looking at a real woman back in time. She is not in a picture, or a movie that is black and white, just a normal woman you could just say hi to in your town. Also, the comments are great because it is actual Grandmothers and relatives that were asked about their tricks back in the day. So thank you all
I would love to see a decade by decade most popular/common hairstyles through the Victorian age. Then at the end of the series, you could do a video that shows the progression through the reign.
That would be interesting.
@8:02 They also used rabbit fur little tubular pillow type things with ribbon on each end to tie around the ponytail and then laid hair over the top to give hair volume and height much like she is doing with the modern donut
Amazing. A history lesson along with a tutorial.How knowledgeable is she. Such a soothing voice.
My grandmother was born in 1880 and wore the Gibson girl hairstyle all of her life
She would comb her long hair out, pull it gently straight up at the same time twisting around. And catching it ontop of her head in the bun. She used hairpins. Putting a curved comb in the back between her neck and bun
everytime kate smiles an angel gets its wings 😍🙏
I go to a Holiness Pentecostal Church and the majority of our older women wear their hair this way.... and our young girls will wear something similar during campmeeting...LOVE this.
I love Edwardian looks so much... They just look so elegant and romantic. This hairstyle in particular looks so much more historically accurate than the other “tutorials“ I watched online.
Would ladies do the Gibson Girl hairstyle on themselves everyday? I personally would love to wear it, but I think it would be a hassle with my thin silky hair and added extensions for thickness to make sure everything stays in place and no clips and pins are showing.
Also, how did Edwardian women preserve their long hair with all that backcombing?
Surprisingly backcombing the way we do it today wasn't as common in the Edwardian era...like she mentioned in order to get the full haired look they would have used 'hair-rats' which would have been made out of their own hair that they collected from their hairbrush in order to bulk up the hair or they would have bought loose hair in a similar colour to their own to get the same effect. Hope this helped 😊
High society women did wear styles like this pretty much on the daily. By high society of course I mean women that didn't have to work, and who had a maid to help them do their hair and get dressed :)
You only back-comb the front half, so if there's any damage, it's not a total loss. The back was still long. Additionally, backcombing without hairspray isn't as stressful on the hair. Mine is 29", I've never had issues. It's the hairspray that breaks the hair more than the combing.
Anna's Actuality ...there has been a supermarket cashier who has worn a Gibson Girl updo for at least 20 years in my town. She belongs to a religion that doesn’t let women cut their hair,so I think it is easy for her to do alone. Sheer volume for the back, and then the front is pretty straightforward..she is a very sweet person,but I know there is no lady’s maid at her house.
As someone who has tried vintage hairstyles a few times (40s and 50s), practice makes perfect. These are however also hairstyles you could sleep on. So you'd do an updo like this and if done right, it holds for several days.
So this hairstyle would be somewhat achievable for like middle to upper class women. For everyone else, a regular bun probably had to do.
This is perfect timing for me!!!! I need this for my Edwardian Alice in wonderland, so thank you very much!!
I’ve been searching for Edwardian hairstyle tutorials for the longest time. This is absolutely perfect!!!
Stunning! She looks completely stunning!
Even with the curls brushed out they look so soft, airy and pretty, I’m in awe
Very pretty! The two tier effect makes it look very nice.
Thank you , CrowsEyeProductions, for showing your technique. Cutting the hair donut in half was truly BRILL! You also have the only Gibson Girl hair video I've seen that gets the front right.
This is one of my absolute favorite channels!
I'm just gonna watch you every time I'm stressed out ! You are so zennnnnnnn
I just love this Kate! I watched like 6 videos back to back to see her changing! In the finishing poses she sometimes puts her hand to her throat (awwww) but it then BARKS the contrast between her hands and arms and her chest! Powder my girl's arms please. Her glee at some of the transformations is adorable!!
What a calming, beautiful and informative video. The model is just lovely. Her eyes are green!
That hair is amazing.
Beautiful job and her voice is so soothing!
The very definition of lovely. And the ginger cat at the end is so beautiful💗
It looks so gorgeous!!!!!
Stunning girl - Stunning hair. Nicely done.
Beautiful! She truly looked like she was from that era. I enjoyed watching this video.
Kate is absolutely gorgeous. Her hair and skin are perfection. Just beautiful.❤️
♡♡♡
Dolly Parton said, "The higher the hair, the closer to God."
This model is so beautiful and she looks sooo timeless
What a pleasure watching this was for me! I was told my paternal, quite attractive Swedish grandmother, Anna Anderson, was " a Gibson Girl". I can recall seeing some lovely portraits of her, as a young woman, with this style of dress & a similar, enduringly flattering hairstyle. While I'd always found that type of hairstyle lovely, I'd never seen the style broken down & assembled, step by step like this, so many thanks for that!
My mom had told me they'd used "rats", & did so even in my mom's heyday - when there were many interesting sculpted dos of the 30s & 40s, often designed to wear with particular styles of hats
Lol at the cat. "It sure would be a shame if you got orange cat hair all over your dark skirt."
I'll try this with my blue hair and maybe a nice leather jacket. Thanks!!
Oooh an edgy gibson girl, I like it!
@@emilyb.8219 Yeah! I tried it last week and someone said "Oh! You look French around 1700's. So Marie Antoinette" and she is actually a French woman so I believed her :p
I want pics!!!!!!
Such elegance. And what a gorgeous ginger cat!
I loved this. So interesting! Thanks for sharing
I couldn't make it through the video because your voice is so lovely and relaxing that it soothed me to sleep. Very lovely!
SIMPLY LOVELY! Thank you for posting!
Absolutely stunning! I wish I had the patience to do my hair like that! Love this channel.
I've loved this video 😍😂 this video felt me relaxing
This period was so beautiful in the astetics I love it
Love this hair style..Thank you for the tutorial. I got the very long dark hair...now I just need the lady's maid ....
She looks just like the pictures of Gibson Girls I've seen before.Good job.
Absolutely gorgeous! I would love to wear my hair like this every day!
The model looks beautiful and so does her hair, its so soft and shiny 😮😮
Imagine having to go through this every morning!
The end look was simply gorgeous.
That hair plus Chanel Haute Couture gown so lovely
🍀⚘🌷🌼🌻🌺🌹🏵💮🌸💐
This is so incredible watching this I find this absolutely fascinating It’s like reaching back into time
Thank you for sharing this ❤️
Delightful videos, both make-up and hair! 👌😍
So interesting! Always wondered about the different era's, the hair and clothing. Fascinating.
Beautiful!! And so relaxing to watch and listen, love this, thank you 💜
Iv always loved this style its so flattering
Wow, this was so beautifully done!
This is one of my favorite hair styles.
Fascinating to watch, but for those of you wanting to do this yourself, Ruth Goodman on the Edwardian Farm television series does a very creditable version of this on herself. She has long but thin hair, puts the back part up in a simple bun, then circles this with a rat/wider doughnut and wraps the rest of her hair over it to cover. Not as full or as complex as this one, but probably more correct for the vast number of Edwardian women, perfectly achievable, and a good updo for all day with minimal maintenance. (The only hair that's really difficult to do with this with is something like mine - thick, very long (hip length), heavy and dead, dead straight. The weight pulls any bulk straight down and out. I do lots of braids instead.)
It looks beautiful on the model. A very lovely hairdo! Talented hair stylist.
looks absolutely wonderful! Well done!
I love that hairstyle!
Think about it, they did this DAILY😱!!! Thank you for the terrific video and history lesson, great job!
Beautifully done. Love the ending example in full costume! ❤️
Yas! I get so happy when u put videos out, i think all of ur community that subscribes and follows u is so nice and supportive, u take so much time to make this channel perfect, it probably wont be the first time i say that🤣 all of ur cast/crew/everyone is amazing😚
Edit: she has Really nice hair too
Love these old hair styles
She makes a lovely Gibson Girl!!
I love the Gibson hair style and the lady model is Beautiful!!!!!!!
Amazing work. I loved the cat cameo at the end!
I'm in love with that blouse!
Absolutely amazing!!
Beautiful hair tutorial and love 💓 the cat and the end!
This lady has an such lovely and calming voice
Beautiful job!!!
Stunning. Would love to try this style sometime. I have quite long hair and I actually used to save and wash the hair from my brush for rats, but i really wasn’t using them and they were such a pain to find storage for. I think that the cheap braiding hair found at beauty supplies would make lovely lightweight rats if teased into a big nest and wrapped in a hair net, as it already has some voluminous fluffy texture to it! I have also straightened it and curled into pin-on ringlets in hot water for late-victorian styles.
Love this ERA!!!!!
So beautiful and elegant!
