This. The daily styling is why I let my hair grow back out. Everyone told me short hair would be so much easier, but for me it was much more work. For people who style their hair anyways, it might be quicker on shorter hair, but for me the "let air dry and put it in a bun"- type of person, it was a nightmare.
YES! I had the same issue when my hair was short (had to style it every single day) and now my hair is long again and I don't have to style it if i don't want to. So much less maintenance!
Yup! I’m lucky enough that my hair gets slightly wavy/soft curly in the morning if I put it in a braid overnight. No extra styling needed the next day.😅😊
The flipped ends just happen in this length because of the shoulders- I had this as well when my hair was short and straightened. The easiest solution is keeping the hair above shoulder length or slightly longer. However I do think it looks cute on you :)
You totally had Evie from the Mummy vibes before you changed! So cute! I'm so hesitant to cut my hair shorter for your exact same reason. The bottom flip out is my worst nightmare. But the practicality of shorter hair is calling (especially with cold weather coming). If only wash and go hair looked as cute as this vintage brush out!
As a person who has had both long and short hair, I found that long hair is much better for cold weather because it acts like a blanket for your neck! I really missed my long hair in the winter haha, my neck was always cold. I liked having short hair in the summer, because it's much more airy. Downside is you can't put it up is a ponytail or a bun that well.
The curls are super cute! When I had shoulder-length hair I would do two french braids (starting at the temples) and slept on them overnight - it captures all the lengths of hair and makes nice textured waves
I love those curls on you! For days when you don’t feel like doing to much with a long bob I really recommend getting a heated hairbrush, or a round dryer-brush to flip the ends in if you don’t like them flipping outwards💗
@@Loepsie I recommend getting a Revlon One Step. Not too expensive, easy to use and results in something looking reasonably close to a proper 'blow out'. I could never manage the whole brush + hairdryer thing, but this works for me, if I need to get ready quickly.
I think the shorter style looks nice on you. When I had a bob in the early 90s, I had to have it undercut in many layers to make it flip underneath otherwise it flipped out like your hair was doing at the beginning of the video.
I love how your short hair naturally flips up, it looks so pretty. My short hair never did that, it stayed straight pretty much. I love how easy it was to curl too.
You have a 60’s retro hairstyle. I remember getting my waist length hair cut into that style. I loved it! I do understand it’s not for everyone,but, with a 60’s makeup and your hairstyle it’s truly my favorite era.
You look gorgeous. My Mum, who used curlers until she passed in her 80s, had this exact style (it was her era). She would brush her hair at night and after the curlers but the rest of the time she combed it. The comb just flattened it and gave it that gloss.
It's very cute and it suits you very, very well. It also looks very authentic to the 30s, not at all in a grandma way but in a glamorous young-model-in-a-shampoo-ad kind of way
I have similar hair like you. And to prevent it from curling this annoying way (i feel you…),I wear it in a french braid, usually i sleep in it and next day, my hair is perfect. I do it almost every night as I found out this works for me.
Yup, the dreaded flip. It’s inevitable (or so said my hairstylist when my hair was your length) because it’s what happens when the hair hits the shoulders. The solution is to go shorter or go longer, both of which would look great on you.
I really like the way the curls turned out on you. It suits you well. The hair flipping is because of the length it has now, your shoulders make it flip. a few cm shorter should prevent it. And if you don't want to go any shorter I used to dampen my hair and blowdry (not even high heat) it inwards with a round brush. Had to do it almost daily but it was quite quick. Just a tip, if ever the scarf is to warm or inconvienent to wear, Etos sells cotton hairnets that keep my foamrollers perfectly in place for the night.
Coming from a curly kinda girl family the cut makes the hair. It is a way of cutting the hair so it stays wide and thick by cutting the under length shorter than the upper, outer hair. The hairstylist has to be a good one though. I am way too lazy to do all those curlers and sleep with it. I admire your "daredevilyness" to do it the day you have the job!
I followed your past pin curl diaries with the foam rollers last week with my short hair so I'm so happy to see this video! When i did the brush out I just had no idea if it looked good or correct lol edit- ok so i finished the video and our hair looked very similar in the end
That style turned out amazing!! Now I want to curl my hair too! You're lucky your hair goes out in opposite directions, mine just all points to the right haha
I know it doesn't help when it's not your thing, but you look really adorable with the "flip" that you get naturally 😊 Isn't it so true that we always want what we don't have!
Oooh look at you rockin' the Evie "I'm a librarian" from The Mummy look!! Those curls turned out fabulous... and I think I'm gonna need to buy some foam rollers (my hair's pretty much that length).
I think the style looks beautiful on you. I grew up in the 70s and 80s, and cut my hair from shoulder length to a pixie when I was 15 years old. I think I've had just about every length hair you can have. I always go back to short because, for me, it is low maintenance. But I've had sooooo much practice. Right now, I have a jaw length bob. I wash in the evening and let it air dry. In the morning I run a flat iron through really quick to smooth it out (I have straight hair but plenty of cowlicks). Or I use that same flat iron to put in some waves. I'll spend a little extra time and use a curling iron if I want it to look a little more glam. Having a great hairdresser who really listens to my routine and understands how to cut my straight, thick, finely textured and brittle hair helps a lot. The cut is everything if you want low maintenance short hair.
If you get your hair cut by a professional hair stylist, they can taper the ends in such a way that they won't curl up. Just let them know what you want and don't want and they should be able to get just the look you want. 👩🌟
Exactly. They may cut it shorter underneath the make it fall straight instead of flip out. I used to get mine cut that way. It also helps with the puffiness around the bottom when you curl it.
That is just DARLING! I think putting the heavier side in a victory roll or large pincurl would have been super cute too! Your short hair is making the pincurl outcome look super legit. Nicely done!!
It turned out very nice!! What's even more practical is wearing the curlers to bed. Lol. I know, I know, hubby won't find that sexy. I'm so old school, roll the hair nightly, take a shower before bed, and I had my clothes figured out ahead of time back when I worked. I'm happily retired now, don't have to roll my hair at all but hate using a blow dryer or curling iron and would only use my hot rollers if I had to hurry. I wasn't blessed with your gorgeous dark hair; mine is fine and on the light brown side with gray, and those soft rollers fall right out. I've experimented and prefer to use smaller rollers and keep my hair on the shorter side. I like curly hair anyway, and it calms down once I've done my daily little workout. I've cut my own for years because beauticians don't seem to know what to do with it other than chop it too short. So thanks, but I can chop way too much hair off myself for free. Lol.
Thank you! My husband is used to seeing all kinds of things in my hair overnight, from all the years of testing heatless curling methods 😂 Although rollers are definitely among the less charming, haha!
I think it's super cute! And what a timely video to watch upon returning home from a horrible hair appointment, where the hairdresser criticized my hair, lectured me, overcharged me, and cut it too short. Hopefully I can still get cute curls even though it's shorter and way blunter than I wanted.
My hair does that thing too, and I’ve noticed that the longer my hair is the lower maintenance it is. The trick is finding the right hair person and getting your hair thinned out and textured.
Your hair turned out gorgeous 💖 wishing my hair would grow out faster What i do after a wetset is roughly re curl it at night dry and I can get it to last for a whole week with my realy dry dyed hair When it's longer it's easy to do some more chunky pincurls to hold the curl overnight with my shorter hair I use my hair rollers but being already curled is much quicker
Short hair is higher maintenance I think. I just got a short bob yesterday from a mid waist hair. Still figuring out how to vintage curl it. Thank you for this video 💖 Much much help
You are lucky. When my hair was that length, one side curled out and the other curled in and no amount of work changed that for more that a few hours! I think your hair looks pretty that way and it suits you well :)
With the plaid blazer outfit you were definitely giving a New York business executive circa 1976 vibe. What I do to tame the curliness is use a smoothing texturizer creme. It gives a slightly sleeker look like you had later in the day. Add a touch of hairspray and the look lasts all day.
I think you look lovely with this brushout ! It has a very 1920's feel which suits your face really well ! (no matter what those face shape guides may say...)
I love it! Very Zelda Fitzgerald when you first brushed it out. After it relaxed it looks more 1930s. After you brush it out run a VO5 or a light oil to smooth the ends a bit. I also think it looks good straight. The flip out looks like you styled it that way.
My mom had that hairstyle, looks lovely on you.she always used sylvercrine in a tube to calm it down.i think you can still buy i just a couple of dabs in your hands rub together and rub in hair,gives a nice shine. Xx
I loved both on you (tighter in morning and looser in evening)! I felt like it suited you so well! Obviously, you need to feel comfortable in the style, but it was cute in the morning and glamorous in the evening. Maybe try it with a nice clip on the side or maybe a small roll? I would love to see the next day after sleeping on it. It’s inspiring me to cut my hair shorter! Thank you for sharing!
You look phenomenal in this brush-out! Honestly, like an old-timey film star magically transported into our times ;) What's more, I want it! The hairstyle, I mean. I think I'll try it if I find those foam rollers somewhere (they seem to sell mainly those stupid velcro-like once where I'm at and those are just useless or maybe I just don't know how to use them).
Omg i love it. I have shot hair as well, i have tried doing vintage style cuz i tough it was too short, now i see that i can work!!! Ill try it this weekend
When I had a bob I found the bathrobe tie method was too long and a bit of a hassle. Using a silky/satin square scarf worked, put into a triangle then rolled. Once you wrap the hair and secure with a bobble, I then cross the section at the back and then around to to top of my head and tie into a wee bow. It gave less frizz too. Loving your short hair.
I think whether short or long hair requires more styling for you depends on the hair type you have. I have very thick, frizzy hair that absolutely requires me to do curly girl when it's long, but chopping it off makes it so much more tame and I get a flattering, messy wave. I don't even have to touch it when I get up in the morning, I'm never going back! My sister has a much different hair texture though and that was not the case for her when her hair was short, she had to style it every day.
Running a damp comb through it might help it relax sooner. I also have shoulder length hair and find it suits me better. I used to be a die hard long hair fan. I have been putting aloe gel in my wet hair at night, then twisting it before bed. Then in the morning I have beachy waves that last one day.
Hi! I like the bob on you 🤩. To shape the front for a more glamour look, you can take metal hair clips and form the waves. You can also put on pomade, to reduce the frizz and soft everyhting.
I switched from robe curls to sock curls when I cut my hair off. Not a huge difference but you can flip the end of the sock around the end so it holds better. And more sections is how you get the shorter hair to go around it. I do four.
Styling pomade will smooth the curls frizziness. Just a little pea size amount rubbed on the palms and smoothed will hold the curls and resist humidity.
The cut can make a difference in how the hair hangs. A professional cut might give you the curl under you want. The said, I've the vintage looks you achieved in this video! Especially the evening one. Just slightly bigger curls might do it. I vote for more "Pin Curl" Diaries.
Love the look at the end of the day once you comb out, I wonder if using bigger rollers on the front bang section would get to this look faster than waiting for it to relax by the end of the day
I loved it!! I don't know much about styling hair but from what I remember as a little girl, you might be wrapping the rollers too tight. I had thought you shouldn't crush the foam around the clip, just lay the hair on top. Maybe that would also help the curls be a bit looser? Either way, I love it!
I like this on you! It turned out beautifully! Perhaps a clip back on one side would make you feel more confident about how it shapes your face? I honestly love this look!
In the beginning of the brush out I thought you kind of looked like Gene Wilder in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. It was funny and cute but obviously turned out great. Truly I love the way your natural hair flips up very 60s bob style I wouldn't mess or obsess with it too much it looks very healthy and flattering.
This is my first time to this channel. And I this you did a great job and it’s super cute. I agree the when bobs grow out the flip is annoying, but as a hairdresser I will let you know that it also is the way it’s cut. The way my bob is cut only flips at the back when hits the shoulder never the front.
It’d be a more modern style, but you might try doing curls with a flat iron. Once you get the hang of it, it would take 20 mins tops. I have hair similar to yours - fine strands but a lot of them and very slick - and flat iron curls are the only curls that will last multiple days on me, with no holding product either! I usually have to touch them up the next day, but that’s it.
I also love triangle hair!! Always fun explaining that to my hairdressers when they suggest thinning it out to avoid triangle hair that that is my actual goal ahhah My question with these curls and brush outs is always: how do you keep it overnight for a second day? Do you discard? Do you roll it up again?
I loved that "evening look" hair, when the curls dropped a bit. It looked so glamorous. Also what was in the spray bottle when you were rolling your hair?
