Hello and welcome to my channel where my videos show & share some of my knowledge of hairdressing, working on mannequin heads. From the retro and vintage setting techniques, through to wedding & party hair up and onto razor cutting with the latest techniques.
In a way you’re right!! . This was part of a “ retro hair” series of training videos I was asked to do. When people wore their hair like this in the 1950/60s they would have left it in place for days, possibly even a week🤭. As with any style that requires backcombing they would have brushed the hair in the opposite direction to the way it was first done to remove and it would have come out quite easily. So very different from any hairstyle today 😉.
The sponge things are actually hair pads, you can buy them ready made or they’re quite easy to make yourself with some extension hair, teased and rolled in some fine hairnets. The pins are heavy hairpins available from wholesalers or a Superdrug store. Hope this helps 🤗
Thank you so much for your kind comments. There are about 45 “how to” videos on my channel, from vintage & bridal to a few razor cutting ones. I hope you find them useful & enjoy them 🤗
Hi, they are called bungee bands. They’re basically an elastic with hooks either end but you could use normal hair elastics with a hair grip/ bobby pin threaded through each end in the same way. Hope this helps 😊
You are fantastic. I couldn't remember for start, how where etc. I am tired of straight limped, hard looking straight hair - to me it doesn't look 'styled', nor sophisticated. Thank you for sharing, your knowledge.
Amazing 🤩 I was looking for a tutorial close to Shirley MacLaine’s hair in what a way to go 💗💗💗 I made a metallic brocade dress and want to style it 60s for a wedding I’m going to tomorrow 😁
Hi, I make my own by back brushing & wrapping false/ extension hair in fine hair nets. The style is definitely achievable with out the bumps if you have longish thick hair . Hope this helps 😊
Thank you. I did it as part of a “ vintage/ retro “ set of training videos I was asked to do. I never actually wore it myself but when I started hairdressing it was surprising the number of clients that asked for it. 🫣😂
What a great job! Never seen a more simple demonstration of the beehive that looked this good. Thank you! I honestly would love if you could do the messy/wild/loose version of the beehive. Like Anna Nicole Smith ❤❤❤ Awesome job!
Thank you for the great comments.😊 If you go back into my channel and click onto the playlist for 1960s roller set, you’ll be able to see vids of messy “Bardot type” hair dressed down and up styles. Not quite Anna Nicole Smith but very similar and could be adapted. I hope this helps 🤗
That's cool and sad. Cool in that it's such an intricate skillful style that woman these days and in future I don't think would have the time or skill (or inclination) to regularly do anymore.
Thank you for thinking it’s cool. 😊 I agree that that it’s not a relevant hairstyle for these days. The videos are a teaching aid series that I did on retro/vintage hair skills for a group of students, here in the UK.
Hi talented Lady! I am a retired nail tech from the 80s and 90s. You are so good at what you do. I adore, always have, 60s and 70s hairstyles, I'm in my late 50s so I don't know how good this would look at my age! ( plus I need a facelift haha!) My sister and I have this exact hair type
It’s hair padding. I backcomb some false hair and wrap it in fine hairnets to create the different shaped that I need. You can also get/ buy nylon bun pads and pull them apart to create the shapes. Hope this helps 😊
Hi. If you see in the video, I left the very last piece of banded hair out of the twisted front hair. Then I moved to the back hair and twisted it, pulled on a fine strand at the end of the twist and pushed the hair upwards towards the band and secured it with a few pins. It’s a really simple technique with a little practice. Hope this explanation helps 😊
Love love love the look, you worked that hair so effortlessly and it looked amazing. My bestie wore this style last night for new years eve, you have me pumped to attempt to do this. Almost 30 years as a stylist and I avoid updos like the plague, watching you do this makes my wanna try although will never look that on point. Great job.
@@bellalegosi7850 Thank you for your lovely comment. 😊 I used extension/ faux hair which I backcombed and wrapped / rolled in fine hairnets to create a pad. I find using these instead of the nylon bun rings more versatile as you can twist them to any shape you need. I hope this helps.
Hiya! Just found your channel and I’m in love with all your vintage styles! Are there any setting lotions you’d recommend for wet sets? Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I used a mix of strong hold mousse and blow dry lotion from the Mood range of products on this style. I sometimes use a “ retro” style setting lotion that I picked up in my local wholesalers. Hope that helps 😀
