Yeah I needed to watch something positive this drama has got me super stressed. Lol. I come on here to relax with beauty related videos and that has been ruined lately lol.
Question : who doesn't have flour? I'm not trying to be rude I'm literally asking who doesn't have flour in their home. I guess it's because I bake alot but still hahaha
Ahh thank for the shout-out, love! It's pronounced Loopsy, haha 😊 Loved seeing you try this and how differently it came out compared to mine. Also kinda loved watching you struggle with the long s... 😝 ❤
So, because Brad said something about his past life it made me think "what if the guy who wrote this was Brad in his past life and he's getting frustrated with his own weird grammar because that would be legitimately hilarious"
Totally! And then do Egyptian/Greco-Roman/Elizabethan/Byzantine/MedievalAsian/RenaissanceItalian....omg....I will bingewatch you FOREVER!!! Wait...I already do : )
My grandma was born in 1919, so she still had a lot of influence from the 1800's. She use to curl my mother's hair in the 1950's with torn strips of cotton bed sheets. She would just roll her hair up in the these rags and tie them into her hair when her hair was mostly dry, but still slightly damp after washing it and let it dry overnight. Apparently it was miserable to sleep on. But it gave her cute little ringletts like Shirley Temple.
Yeah..I' m from the UK & my grandmother was born in 1901..my own mother in 1929..I.myself had my hair put into ' rags ' a child sometimes to get ringlets..I' m 55 now & if I put my long hair into fingers use wooden chop sticker long cocktail sticks to hold the cur l.plastic drinking straws looped back into themselves make the best hair curlers that can be slept in comfortably.xx
Yeah I'm from the UK and my mother actually did this for an event that I had when I was eight... Eighteenth Centry was going strong in 199....something 😎 My mom...the super traditionalist It worked...my younger blonde waist length hair was in shoulder length ringlets...very cute 😍
Lauren Fields lol same i have such thick thick yet frizzy hair I've had 2 stylists visibly grab their hand back in pain touching my hair after using the iron on it
@@kylasaundersmiller2286 Actually it isn't even a mistake! I thought it was too at first but, I looked at the comments and some where talking about how those aren't F's at all but something different. they were used as "Hard S's" and the s we know today was called a soft s.
Brad: “I’m a very visual learner and there’s no way I’ll be able to understand these directions” Also Brad: Understands every single step even through spelling errors and old English
@@selphaenal.8489 I could read it just fine simply because I knew about the type style, it’s actually quite easy to see that. (Btw this is literally from a 5th grader)
In old English, the “s” that Brad was reading as “f” was correct. But notice how at the end of words where “s” should be there was an s. while in the middle of words there was an “f”
They actually didn't use flour they used wheat starch scented with essential oils and spices the closest and most readily available today is cornstarch which trust me is a lot better, also modern pomade is not suitable for pomading and powdering because the original were fat based, and less sticky.
"I'm gonna take more hair than they said, inch and a half because that doesn't seem like enough..." "Wow that's a lot of hair for such a small piece of paper" Lmao, wonder why that might be, Brad
Fashion history hobbyist here! Don't worry about the big hole in the back, that would usually be covered up by a massive hat. Incidentally, as a fellow gay, I feel completely obligated to inform you that Marie Antoinette once wore a model ship in her hair, with her hair itself fashioned into "waves".
I knew a person here (besides me) would be a history buff! I’d say Brad nailed it. Imagine a hair style taking 3 1/2 hours and that’s an everyday look! I can only imagine how long it would have taken to make the wig with the model ship in it. No wonder wigs were so popular. People couldn’t be doing this every few days.
There used to be a small box as part of a lady’s vanity set. It was a small round container with a lid that had a hole in the middle. I can’t remember the actual name, but it was a hair collector. You put hair from your brush in there to make your own personalized hair rat. 🤣
@@fullybakedgromlet5462 yeah... shocking, but true. I've also seen that they used candle covers, glass, hair combs, and things that looked like hat pins or broaches for "bald spots". Most of the time, glass and pins were done on "wigs" or "stuffings" made of old shedded or animal hair, I believe, but... ugh! So gross
@Saoirse Justice McKenna depending on the persons wealth, place in society, job and decade. Wigs were a huge part of 18thc fashion but only for a short time.
Lucy/loepsie (pronounced as loopsy) is one of the most down to earth and unproblematic beautyguru’s on youtube. I’m so glad she gets the recognition that she deserves!
How the heck did you manage not to follow any of the directions correctly, but still get something that looks late 18th century at the end!? The magic of pomade and powder, I suppose 😂
@Fast Paced only because many lacked proper nutrition when they were young, thus they didn't grew to their full potential, but there were tall people back then too.
@@lelisbet Exactly, they were not very much shorter at all. This was only 200 years ago, it would make no sense for them to be shorter or their heads to be smaller evolution-wise, 200 years isn’t enough time for heads to just like... get bigger, or people get taller. (But I know Brad was joking.)
I have a history with old English, so watching him struggle to read was both hilarious and gringey. Some of the letters that look like 'f's are actually 's', so it's "first," not "flirft." But even with knowing that, I'm dyslexic, so it's still difficult to read it.
madi 127 it's supposed to be first! At that time the letter s was written like a lower case f! Therefore, the word supposed would look like fuppofed! And it's so weird because they would also use the letter s in certain places! So if you are not familiar with this, it can be difficult to understand what you are reading! The English language has come a long way and it's still going!
Me, looking for youtubers to follow: No Beauty Gurus Allowed Brad: Me: Brad: Me: Me: ok I’ll make an exception for this one because he looks very polite
@@dorianthekilljoy4092 they would usually use pomade(which at the time was made from bear fat and did not smell lovely) and white powder to give that whit effect. I do a lot of studying for costume design and have to study centuries of fashion. It also majorly depended on your class aka how much money you made. The only time that someone may be so outrageously dressed as you see in the rococo fashion is when they are going to events. However everyday dress wear was simple dress and hair for the middle class.
@@dorianthekilljoy4092 the ladies of American Duchess did a fashion speak event in NYC some time back where they demonstrated live how these hairstyles are done and also busted a bunch of myths, including addressing the issue of wigs and odor and bug infestations and all that. You can watch it on Bernadette Banner's channel, it is funny and informative. They even use one of those giant ridiculous calash bonnets that protected the hair from the wind and rain.
I love when people talk about their babies responding to Brad Mondo videos. He's a great youtuber for the whole family because he is so animated and engaging/hype-conjuring, but somehow never loses his very gentle, peaceful aura. He is a beautiful angel gifted to us to cope thru with the existential terror of living so ive got no choice but to stan.
Anyone who's interested in the whats and whys of the "pomade & powder" thing (or other aspects of 18 century hair care and styling): The lovely and wonderful Bernadette Banner has uploaded a video in September of this year in which the amazing ladies of American Dutchess not only explain but also demonstrate, how and why this procedure was used. Just to summarize it in a sentence or two: The pomade was a mixture of pig lard and mutton tallow, scented with (for example) clove and citrus oil, and the powder wheat starch. By mixing those in your hair the pomade reacts with the starch and makes it expand, and creates volume and a very sculptable consistency and texture.
Elle-Iza Logan I loved that video! And also kinda shook at what a good job Brad did having none of that info... tho he obviously has an intense working base of hair dressing knowledge so that helps. This is seriously art. I wouldn’t complain if I saw this out and about...
No one: Brad reading S's as F's: "we can not be fuffed to fabricate the feperafe curlf in the centre parff of the fcalp." Wow they were bad at spelling!
Okay but, Brad is so hilarious and original, he has absolutely 0% drama (that I know of lmao) and he is so amazing at what he does and his reaction videos always make me laugh. Like lets be honest he is a perfect youtuber, like what the hell I have never seen him make a mistake in my LIFE. I mean i'm not gonna say he is a perfect human being but like hes a perfect human being. 😅😅❤❤ Stan Brad Mondo.
"Am I being punk'd?" had me rolling! Brad, I know this was frustrating for you but listening to you read the instructions was glorious and necessary for survival during quarantine. Thank you for your sacrifice. 🤣
@@KOmyself yeah, like when it said BEFORE taking the pins out (taking curls down) you must use more pomade & powder first, but he just takes them down and "blah blah blahs" over that part.....🤷🏼♀️
Ikr? I remember yelling at my teacher once "are you still speaking English?? I haven't understood anything since the page number you told us to turn to! Am I having a stroke?" Needless to say I flunked hard.
Loepsie went viral..? That's pretty cool... I saw the video, but I follow her content so I didnt realise it was a thing.. I LOVE her content, her hairstyling content is amazing, especially when she covers specific historical figures.. Loepsie is pretty fabulous, I really hope everyone interested in this kind of content peeps her channel and subs
Fun fact: The American dictionary wasn't invented until 1828, when we started to standardize spelling. Up until 1828. Everyone spelled words as they sounded.
LittleImpaler But the _English_ in _England_ have had _English_ language dictionaries dating back to at least the 13th century ᴀᴅ. And that’s only our contemporary language, not counting Middle English, Old English and beyond.
@@louisxvii2137 But those dictionaries did not standardize English spelling, until a little later. Webster standardize American-English, hence why we spell different from the English. The English gave us the words.
I love this. I have worked in the theatre for multiple years and have had to style so many wigs from this time period. It' not easy. But it's so much fun. The keeping it maintained through multiple shows is the real challenge I think. Hahahahah!
I thought he might've caught on at some point. The wording is convoluted though. It's almost too specific which makes it confusing for people who want to follow basic directions whoever wrote this was a ponce
Brad: I really wanna follow that tutorial! James Steward: First, cut the hair, short on the front, getting longer aback. Brad: I'm not doing no mullet, sir! James Stewart: Now do a 3/4 inch part in the middle. Brad: Let's ignore that...
"Am I being punked?" Brad reading this is me every time I read an original source for a history paper. Hahahaha! [History note: old fashioned printers didn't use "S" because it was illegible, so they swapped "F" for "S."]
I watched both videos and here is the entire tutorial in layman's terms 1.) Apply pomade and comb through hair 2.) Apply dry powder shampoo and comb through hair 3. Divide hair into two main sections from the base of your ear until the thumbs meet 4. On the top section: pappolette curls all over 5. Tease the hair in the top middle section until it stands up leaving some hair at the ends exposed and curled 6. On either side tease the hair, and roll into what are essentially sideways victory rolls 7. Pin all of the front section at the crown of your hair into a hair sponge to give volume 8. Braid the bottom section of your hair up and pin the tail of the braid into the sponge 9. Smooth it all over with a comb
@@kkkkit they didn't have shampoo or conditioner as we know them today. They would LITERALLY pomade and powder, brush everything out for an hour then pomade and powder again; endlessly. It was both how they styled their hair and how they cleaned it.
BRAD! You have to go look at Janet Stephen's (Steven's?) channel. She is a hair archaologist, I believe it is called. She recreates hairstyles from ancient Rome. They always come out looking so cool. I would watch all the historical videos you attempt. A lot of people love that stuff.
Yeah actually she could very well be an archeologist, us archeologists do not only study their lives and cities but also past and ancient traditions like the way they were dressed, what they used to eat...
@@MegaStellina999 depends on the part of the world you're in because in America to be an archeologist (of any kind really) you need to study anthropology with a focus on archaeology but I've heard that in Europe they offer just straight archeology but regardless of title both would find it important to know as much as you can about a culture
I suspect it is partly because Loepsie followed the steps a little more closely, and Brad just went with the first bit of information he understood. Also, it is easier to make it look smooth and polished on another person's (or mannequin's) head.
There is an excellent talk given by the ladies of America duchess (actual 18th century dress, hair and, makeup historians) where they demonstrate how to actually do a hairstyle very similar to this and it is the best video you’ve ever seen ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_kjcMIcSqVg.html
Hi Brad..I've watched this video a couple times..I recently ordered a beautiful book by American Dutchess called 18th Century Beauty..it is exactly how to style hair the way you did..they have pictures and techniques to help learn in a much easier way...they use homemade pomade and spices for hair powder and early dry shampoos but I like what you used better..I'm not a fan of buying equipment and making a mess of my house and calculating measurements..I got the book from Amazon and they also talk about makeup..look into that bc I know you'll have a much easier time with it
Ash Bath it’s heavy, not going to lie. For me, my hair is naturally curly, bordering on kinky/coily, so volume was not an issue and i did not need to backcomb or tease as much, but straightening and hair spraying it to death was a little traumatic on my strands. Over all, i’ve been as gentle as I can and my hair has stayed healthy.
C B I started singing classical music in high school, which is admittedly late for most professional opera singers, and auditioned for an undergraduate vocal performance program! Most people go on to get a graduate degree and spend time doing short programs abroad that are focused on producing operas and furthering study.
I used to be same whenever I saw these old-fashioned letters. 😅Took me ages to realize that the s is just looking like an f. But it's somehow fun sounding like the cookie monster - forry I mean cookie monfter. 🤣
Longtime subscriber, and 18th Century style is my actual interest/hobby. I got high and this randomly popped up on my feed. You made my life. Thank you. This is the content I’m here for.
BRAD!! Back then all those "f" in the words making them look wrong. That was their "s". Try reading it by switching most of the "f" to "s" it'll make ALOT of since.
Wow. How come this comment got overlooked by so many people?? Literally the best/most clever. And of course you have kermit as your profile pic. Yez iz cermet iz
Living for this comment even though I totally have to point out that Pride and Prejudice ans Sense and Sensibility are both set at the beginnig 19th century... correct if I'm wrong...
This is the first time i'd seen one of the videos Brad references BEFORE I watched his videos and I feel like Brad and I are finally connecting.... I'm crying.
Here's a video idea. You should style hair with an anime character with an exagerrated hairstyle as a reference I will keep asking until you do this lol. Nice sleeves btw
Brad this is absolutely marvelous I was watching all the back combing with bated breath! I love the look of the Victorian/Edwardian era & I think this looks just right for an 18th century hairstyle the grip & the volume & all that back combing! I absolutely loved this & I'm glad you enjoyed recreating that style from the 18th century Hairdresser it is incredible the language they used back then it was difficult to follow I think you worked very hard & I'm sure that original Hairdresser from 1800's would of been well impressed with your efforts! If I had long Hair I honestly would love you to do my Hair like that! I'd love to see you doing more vintage styles like the 1920s & 1940's in fact any decade!
