I’m a hairdresser and an educator and this is the best, and most accurate demo I’ve seen on here. People claim to know how to do the old school styles but they wind up doing a half baked version. They’re not accurate. We used to back comb those styles and spray them until they lasted a full week. Sometimes two weeks. (With a little touch up halfway through though.)
Thank you for your nice comment. You probably trained in the same era as me if you remember doing the 2week put up 😉. And getting the lacquer out at their next shampoo 😬
i seem to recall way older women getting beehives that they seemed to live in for forever. and dont think any of them went to a beautician weekly bi weekly?
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. 🫣😂
That is perfection, beautifully executed! I wish I'd seen this 30 years ago when I first started doing mannequins. Your technique was so smooth, I was marveling at it lol!
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 🤗
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 🤗
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.
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, 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 😊
Those mannequins have the easiest, most cooperative hair of anyone I know. Practicing on one always goes my way, but as soon as I try to apply these same skills to my own head, things go South. My hair refuses to work with me, has attitude and constantly spits out bobbie pins, or goes lopsided on purpose just to piss me off, or I'll get a curling wand tangled in it and have to practically cut it out. I have extra, extra thick, bra strap length hair that is tangled every, single day upon waking and after the world's worst haircut I received in the summer, has been a complete dry, grocery-sack-shaped mess! Now that I'm close to 50, my hair is dry, has a weird, wiry texture and is dull. Also, the closer I get to the mirror, the more I'm seeing all those hag-grey hairs mixed in with my fading balayage! What happened? I used to be a fox and now....I'm a middle-aged frump!
The mannequin heads are great to work on and really, I’m just aiming to show technique. It must be frustrating when your own hair won’t do what you want it to. I hope you’re having a better day 🙂
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 😊
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 🤗
The pads are just made up by back combing/brushing some synthetic hair and wrapping it in a couple of hairnets to create whatever shape you need. Hope this helps 🙂
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 😊
