Trying Out 5 Heatless Curl Methods! 

I literally loled when she said that 😂

Leviosaaaaaah

Same 😂 I loved this video

5 times isn’t even the average lmao

the fishing thing got me laughing out loud, had to tell my kid. laughed while telling. how did rachel keep a straight face?

yes!!! i second this finger-combing or wide-tooth comb recommendation :)

I concur. Going further take some styling cream for curly hair, use sparingly, and use your hands to break up the curls. The cream will cut down the frizz.

I had vicarious stress from the hairbrush 😂

Yes! Fellow curly girl here. Most of us never use brushes on dry hair

I was under the impression that it depends on the size of the curls, too - like, the little straw curls were unforgiving (I really loved them pre-brush, though), but the bigger curls looked neater when brushed out. Also I read somewhere that natural curls shouldn't get brushed out, but "hand-made" should, although I don't know why?

@@renarde_0173 Curls need friends to look like curls!!! Rachel just doesn't want that vibe, she wants the uniform wave look of the 40s/50s.

@@renarde_0173 Brushing out naturally curly hair can get frizzy and tangled real quick, especially when they are tight/coiled curls! You can kind of see the result of that when Rachel brushes out the straw curls as compared to the looser ones.

@@lynt.8269 So it might be because natural curls are usually of the tight/coiled sort?

@@Tazzie1312 That's a sweet phrase! I often have the problem that some of my medium-sized curls disintegrate quicker than others (curls loosing their friends), so I resort to brushing because it minimizes the difference and the "mad witch" effect - Maybe I haven't figured out the right hair product use yet (gathering a lot of tips in this comment section)

This made my night Brian!

You never know when niche knowledge will come in handy… :D

@@user-qv4np3ur5w she is a healer. feel better soon : )

Hah, same! Watched Grav3yardgirl try some frankly outerageous options for curling; I mean, Cheetos??

I as a girl just shaved my head and will watch content with you that Not apply to be Brian you are a legend

It didn't get any better from there either... 😭

Came to say exactly the same thing. 😁

That was the tightest brush ever as well 😂 finger combing would help too

Yes. I felt like that everytime after she took her hair down. Brushing takes out all of the curl and just frizzes it out. Which Rachel seems to like a little bit of, but it was very obvious the tighter the curling methods got.

Literally every time she picked up the brush. Oh my gosh never put a brush through curls.

I think she prefers the poofy/frizzy style that brushing them out brings. Think of her normal curler set and 40s brush out

@@LCSharp yeah, but brushing it like that damages the hair a LOT. I also recomend a comb or even a wood brush, never metallic or plastic, and she also should start by the ends and comb gently the way up to the roots.

Denman brushes are a god send.

@@steph_lopez D90L

@@RebecaCabreraAbad agreed.

What type of brush would you recommend?

@@bowenarrows7819 Keeping in mind that I am working from past observation (my mother stopped doing hair around 20 years ago), what I most remember being used for brushing out curl sets was boar bristle brushes. You can probably use a paddle brush or cushion brush if that's what you've got, but technique is important. I remember her brushing from the underside and using her other hand to support the hair, then smoothing the top layer. You can probably find some good vintage hair tutorials on blogs or youtube channels that focus on vintage/pinup style that will explain it better than I can.

Amen! As someone who also has natural curls and a hairstyling mom.

I have wavy hair naturally and although the brushing wasn’t the nicest the waves still came out vintage, even though she wasn’t gentle with the brushing. So idk what you’re talking about Also keep in mind that vintage hairstyles DO require brushing out curls. And yes with a type of brush that is similar to what she uses. Just look at some vintage videos from the 40s and 50s and you’ll see.

I know I have done many hair in mane time some types of hair curl different than others one thing I like about Rachel she is real transparent and no fake my kids are glue to your programs Rachel.

It’s just for the 40s/50s look 😂 I know today brushing curls is a huge no

@@TheKnallkorper that’s true! I can’t help but wonder how damaged hair was in that time from all the dry brushing of curls 😂 thank god for modern hair care products.

@@theardentarcher likely not very damaged as people with wavy/straight hair are not brushing AGAINST their natural hair pattern with a straight brush, but instead brushing towards their natural hair pattern.

I have naturally curly hair, but once I’ve styled my hair straight, brushing it does not damage it further than whatever initial damage straightening it might have caused (which is extremely negligible damage, anyway)

As someone who always wanted to have curls (having thin straight hair), and having chem curling now(no brushing them out!), straightening always looked harder for me...and also what's that with straightening already straight hair, hmm.. :D

I know, right? Can't just call us out like that.

Same here dude

Practically needs a warning - "sorry, just gonna remind you of the reality that two years of this nonsense has gone by"... It's a mood. Definitely a mood. Anybody else need a hug... - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

Yup

Came here to say the same thing. A bristle brush is also much more gentle on your hair. Plus a little hair oil or styling product on the ends will help the curls too.

Yeah I have naturally curly hair and watching her take a brush to the beautiful locks made me want to cry 😭

good knowledge, wish i had it before i decided to foam roll my short mullet hair and it came out looking like the paper straws

I heard somewhere that there is a difference between brushing out natural curls and "artificial" ones? Why would that be?

@@punkinwriting Thanks for the tips! Do you put hair oil on before rolling or after you taker the rollers out?

I love Viv! She's pure sunshine!

That one was amazing! But the length of time it took her to do it though... The bath robe curls here were like Viv's rag curls, very Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm

I love that video. Although I almost think the in-process look is cooler than the final result. Very sci-fi warrior queen.

I was just coming into the comments to say this, but I was like "I should do a word search first!" :)

Everyone should go check out Viv Hair Therapy, she's a joy. A literal, actual joy.

when you brush it out U gotta use a wide wet tooth comb it works a thousand times better

The crossover event of the season

Glad there is a top comment mentioning this. Rachel - if you want some more volume and more of a "wave" effect with sleep-in braids, finger comb or use a super wide toothed comb; use just a touch of a reasonably priced detangler, divide your hair into sections, firmly hold a section of your hair near the roots without pulling the hair away from your scalp, then begin combing from the bottom . As another girl with long, unruly hair I can attest that this works well. I don't wash my hair very often so I opt to braid it every night and it never fails to look cute messy in the morning, and after taking the braids out, looks elegant throughout the day. It's my go-to also bc I can't stand sleeping with anything digging into my head. Even a soft robe belt tie thing would keep me up all night!

Same! She threw me there. My great great grandfather was a Freemason. 🙂👍🏻☮

Came to comment this!

omg same lol

She typically does vintage hairstyling which involves brushing out curls

But I agree, these aren’t like mid-century hair sets so it was kinda ehhhh

Get yourself a nice wig for now! =) Hell, get a few, it makes it easy to change up your style!

This had me burst into laughter. I use a plait down my spine, but I could see this inner image of a random woman vigorously waving her hair about to loosen the braids! (Comb girl here with brush later in the week when it's straighter)

They should be renamed to Twi'lek braids or something XD

She did cut her fringe 😂

You should see me. I get bored, then remember the effort it takes to even remotely get close to anything interesting with my hair and give up. ROFL. I did having a pixie cut once, so glad I came back to hip length hair. Just wish it would grow longer but it has reached its terminal length. :(

Double reference 👌✨

Nice one. 😂

Yes! That's my go to as well! So much easier than shampooing.

When I would dye my hair, I'd the same with my traditional 2x weekly conditioner. I'd have to use a higher end one so it was typically better than any that came in the box. Even when I used the purple a few months ago, I used the conditioner to help be gentle on my hair. I also have gone natural in the last 6 or so years and let the grey shine through. Added benefit was the tub didn't seem as stained as it did when it was just dye and shampoo.

Oooh. Cool. I would love to try henna but my hair is pretty dark, and I'm not willing to use bleach. Oh well.

Maggie Robertson: in the 80s, my hairdresser would use henna on my very dark brown hair. I loved the eggplant highlights you could see when in the sun!

Yes. The priest whose head turns all the way around. “Piece of cake. Piece of crumb cake.”

Yay! I'm not the only one who caught that!

Thank you it was killing me! I could hear the soundbite in my head exactly, but couldn't place it. I knew it had a Beetlejuice kinda vibe though!

Darn it i was thinking Marv from Home Alone for some reason? Now I wanna rewatch Casper...

Oh that's very cool! I hope you have fun

The bathrobe and french braid are my favourites for masculine looks because they're much softer, but all curls are super fun to play around with, so enjoy!

Cool! Congratulations on winning the giveaway! 👍🏻🙂🌹☮

This comment made me so happy idk why

Okay just finished the video-I cannot imagine doing all that work on your hair 🤣 I tried to do sponge rollers on my very short chin length hair and got tired! However, if you ever do, I’d love to see the curls loosely split up vs brushed out, because you have such gorgeous hair and I can totally see the paper straw curls being loosely split up looking like Shakira curls/A possible Claudia from interview with a vampire look!

I agree! Rachel is the best 🥰❤

Yeah the op did that method with the straws.

Do you find the flexi rods hard to sleep with? I'm a side sleeper so I'm afraid to try them.

@@jgriffin9084 in my many desperate attempts to get them to work for me I've never found them uncomfortable to side sleep on

@@jgriffin9084 I found some that are made of this softer foam Rachel's normal rollers are made out of and they are not uncomfortable, although they still have a wire for stability inside. Since I have quite thick and long hair, I still have to use some of my harder ones and I try to use them on the top of my head, so they wouldn't disturb as much. You surely would get used to it and see what works best for you!

@@jgriffin9084 as long as you don't roll them too tight by the nape, your ears, and forehead they're pretty comfortable. I didn't have issues as a side sleeper

i love your username!!

I am sure she could make it very entertaining.

@@reginafetty6374 correct I'm sure it would be comic genius 😉

I luv setting my hair in bobby-pins. My mother wrapped it in rags when I was a kid. Two feet long shreds if cloth I had to manage holding them all together under my little hand. Ouch, my little arm! I'm a natural redhead. Old, but still red. My hair needs some revival. Revisions? Help! 👩🏻‍🦰 Be kind to your hair, young ladies, and all with your hair health. It ages for some very fast, if we naturally damage it enough. Imo. But what do I know. I'm a Boomer! I think I'm gonna luv the new house! I luv'd grandma's! Sorry it had to be sold. Breaks my heart, but that's the way things go. 😔 So much of life ahead of you! Enjoy it! A wise mother once told her sons to keep a piece if their hearts for themselves. ☮🌹👍🏻👩🏻‍🦰

@@nyclady27 Rachel has done a henna before, you can find a video on it. Looks helluva messy, so I haven't tried it, lol ! I find the less I mess with my hair, the better it looks ! Lol! And the bonus of being older is that gray hair is STRONG !

@@m.maclellan7147 I've seen that video. I luv her technicolor red hair. My kingdom... well, I'd give something to have my youth back for a spell again. No gray for me. Most redheads go from red right to white. I got some of them. But not highly noticeable because of the blonde. Technically, I'm was a brand new copper penny 1953 strawberry blonde. Now it's so thin and brittle. But I'm attemting to make it at least look shiny and healthy. Ugh! Anyway, nice to meet you. I can't wait to see Rachel's new home! I hope she brought lots of grandma's house furniture! 🙂👍🏻☮🌹

I hope Rachel sees one of these comments from her curly friends- I think it would help a lot!

Omg YES. I love RM but every time she brushed her curls with a drug store hair brush I died inside

She wants floof, though, that's how you get the 40s/50s look

@@Meta.Empress Vintage hair kinda does. You don't get that look by finger combing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eJ4qwPVp8KA.html

The same here, I’m thinking NOOOOO don’t do it…. Shake that hair with your fingers! Oh the humanity!

English is not my first language. When you say "lo and behold" what does lo mean? 😊

@@marjoleinsmolders1630 "lo and behold" is a phrase used to describe something surprising that happened.

I'm starting to suspect my hair might actually be curly, at least a bit, could you suggest me somewhere I can find good, thorough explanation of the curly girl routine? I have no idea where to start😅

@@marabuora9547before you start anything, I’d advise figuring out your hair’s porosity (how porous it is). If it gains and loses moisture really quickly, and/or bleaches really quick, it’s probably high porosity. If it takes a few minutes to get wet and you sometimes see actual water droplets just laying on your hair, it’s probably low porosity. Different porosities need different products. Then, I’d recommend looking at India Batson and Penny Tovar. If you get not the method for a few weeks or months and you feel like your hair is just naturally looser than theirs, I’d look into a wavy hair routine. Hope this helps!

@@fibromiteready2fight809 thank you! I'll look into it😄

I'm pretty sure she's looking for a lil' frizz. It's a look

She wants the brushed out 40s/50s look though

I completely agree!

it hurt my soul

Omg same!! lol I know the brushing out is totally normal especially for more vintage styles (and it looks fabulous on her!) but especially when she brushed out the straw curls I was *stressed* lol!

And brushing it while dry also. I died a little every time. Fun video tho.

Because that's how you get those vintage looks!

Do you brush out with a wider tooth brush?

@@swish3432 sometimes I just use my fingers to brush out the rag curls, but I use a regular brush for the sponge rollers. I really should buy a wide tooth comb

100% Rachel has decently thick hair, she just needed to separate the with her fingers. I think people without curls thick our hair is a massive monolith of curl, they don't recognize how much air and space is between those curls.
