Or eyebrows 😂 I’ve seen the way 90’s and early 2000’s teens tortured their eyebrows. Up until I was about 7 (2010) it was still a major trend. Then the pencilled brows came in.
I completely agree. The hair bleaching, heat, gel. People didn't give a FUCK about the health of their hair. Or skin, they'd tan like crazy and bleach their hair. There's this girl I hate who bleaches her hair and lies out tanning for hours a day all summer. If I liked her I'd be like, girl you know how bad all that is right? But I hate her so I'm going to let her fry herself
Its like we decided to show up the 80-90s and were like... i can be weider xD WHAT were they thinking wearing pale lips and silver eyeshadow With layer tanks, a vest and a jean shirt over other pair of jeans 😭 i was kid back then, crazy that is what was "fashion"
Reminds of me Quinta Brunson saying "It. Does. Not. Have. To. Be. A. Chip! Could be, doesn't have to!" in a old Buzzfeed taste test video. I think it was the one where she and a bunch of other Buzzfeed employees tried international Lay's potato chips.
I just got a flashback. I was 14, had just bleached my hair and decided the wet2straight would be a brilliant choice to dry and straighten my hair. My dad walked into the living room and said "is someone cooking ham?" The ham was in fact the ramen noodles on my head being singed to death.
I had a wet to straight as a teen and I absolutely LIVED for that sound because it felt like I was burning my curls into straight submission. Cathartic
Oh my God, olive oil? I’ve seen people use straight eco as moisturizer but like olive oil with the hot comb!?!? did it not legitimately pan fry your hair? I’m so curious.
Remember when you wouldn't have enough time to dry AND straighten your hair, so when our hair was damp we straightened it then. And when that hair hit your face it was the HOTTEST PIECE OF HAIR EVER.
Core memory unlocked: sitting behind girls who straightened their hair daily and had ALL split ends. Not just split... each individual hair tip looked like a tiny hair brush. 😬😬😬😬
I can feel thjs video. The heat just rising up i even got a burn from the steam on my cheek and let me tell you that was not fun. But her shriek got me 😂
Born sometime after 2000 (not gonna specify for online safety reasons) but even I get flashbacks to your videos anytime I hear a sizzle and it has traumatized me
We didn’t have information like kids do know. They have way more information about taking care of their skin and hair also how to apply make up. We had to wing it lol
@nagito1473you do realize that the whole gimmick was using it on wet hair and it being safe to do so? The marketing being deceitful doesn’t make the user stupid, it makes the marketing deceitful 😂 Just like you NOT using this product didn’t make you any smarter, it just meant you didn’t use the product? Lol.. I didn’t use it either because I was probably too young but literally to this day there are wet-to-straight products that are actually safer for your hair, so no one was inherently stupid for using it, the idea was just ahead of the technology, along with the deceitful marketing.. But I guess if watching videos of someone using a stupid product that didn’t work how it claimed it was going to that a lot of people bought hoping it would, or watching them re-enact funny or stupid things they did as a CHILD, so they can have fun and reminisce with others over their shared naivety, or usually just the nostalgia of it all, because even if you didn’t do something or use something you know someone who did, and instead of watching them for that reason or just because they are entertaining, you watch them to feel superior and to tell others that you feel so smart that you didn’t do childish things as a child, then you do you Personally I get nostalgia from these because it mostly reminds me of my babysitters who basically raised me and occasionally myself/people I went to school with, and when I see a video where I didn’t do the thing, instead of feeling superior, I just am like, I didn’t do the thing? Lol.. and move on with my life Everyone’s gotta get their kicks somehow I guess and if you get your kicks and self-esteem partially from being able to say “well I didn’t do that as a child, because I guess I was just too smart” then you do you 😂 Like you literally said you feel so smart by watching these videos because you never did any of this stuff so that makes me feel wonder like why do you even watch it? Lol Besides just to feel superior? Because apparently any nostalgia is lost on you because you “weren’t like the other kids” 💅 Who again, were literally children I wasn’t like most of the other kids either, was a bit smarter according to all the tests they did on me, and at times didn’t socially do or think things most the other kids did.. but how do you get a superiority complex and I just got bullied and little to no self-esteem? 😂 Self-awareness I guess, considering if you had some more of it you’d realize why your comment rubbed me wrong enough to make me want to waste my breath, and how your comment makes you come across, which isn’t well.. Like congrats, according to you, you were slightly smarter than other kids when it came to common childhood mistakes, and also didn’t do a lot of the fun things the rest of the kids tried, and don’t get to have fun now with the rest of everyone reminiscing over it Do you want a cookie? 🍪 Like I said it seems like you already have the superiority complex and lack of self-awareness but I don’t have emojis for those 🤷🏽♀️
No oil sweetie. We white folks. We were kept in the dang dark. Except for me. I just kept my curls. Screw the hell my sister put her head through. I have a very tender head. My aunt was my hair cutter forever. Having to find hair people who treat me like someone who is just doing what I can and honestly, dgaf enough to have my long hair anymore. I cut off a few feet. Then I too it to my chin, next month it was at just behind my ears. I never want to fight my head ever again.
@@rachelt4792 Right? I brought my dang hair straightener to school especially on rainy days. My hair is naturally wavy with a slight curl here and there. Now I look at my old photos and cringe at how stick straight and fried my hair was. Yet we thought we looked HOT. 🔥
God I remember doing this when I was a teenager. I still remember the sound and smell. If only I had known how damaging it was and that I was literally frying my hair. The worst of it was I didn’t understand why my hair always felt rough and never soft. 🤦♀️
It’s a squeal. There’s a difference between a choral note and a note you can simply just scream. For it to be a choral ‘whistle note’ it has to be executed a certain way. 🥰
i was not sentient during the early 2000s but I have a very vague memory of my sister doing this and saying it helps keep the hair straighter for longer
I used to watch my white friends do this all the time and be like “omg your hair is literally burning” and every time they’d turn around and say “no it’s okay, it’s literally a wet to dry straightener, this is literally what it’s made for ” 😅😩
Oh no 🤦🏽♀️😭 I just got a “silk press” but it wasn’t no press, the hairdressers at the African salon I go to were deep frying my hair and I’m traumatised haha 😭
One summer when it was very hot, my bags got all soaked from how I had sweated. I asked my friend for her straightener, she gave it to me, and when THAT sound came from my wet hair, she looked at me all horrified. I looked back at her and said "no, it's fine, don't worry".
I remember hating my curls and straightening them any chance I got and even wished on Christmas that I’d wake up with straight hair. Now that I’m older and have watched people do anything to get curls, I’m proud of mine. It’s something that makes up who I am. It’s wild and unpredictable like me. Sure, I wake up sometimes with either a lions mane or a balding witch’s head but we’re still cool, my curls and I.
I would die for a big mess of curls. I own every kind of curling method and have used product that say it will make my hair curly lol like wut? I debated getting a perm at one point. We are all beautiful in our own way yet always want what we don't have. Live your life and love yourself ❤
