Trying Wild Hair Tools From History 

Worse! She used a thin toothed comb. It would've looked nice if she just used her fingers to separate the curles. It's as if she was trying to make it look bad.

Agree 100% with both of you! I have thick and curly hair and I dont often brush it bc it makes my beautiful curls all frizzy🤪 I use my fingers to brush it!

I was thinking the same thing, she ruined those curls lol

Well, if she's doing hairstyles from the time those things were invented they would've been brushed out. The knowledge of not brushing curls has only been around since maybe the 80s, even naturally curly hair people brushed their curls out before then. Now if she's just using the tools then doing modern styles, you'd be correct then that she shouldn't brush out the curls

@@aeolia80 I suppose you are right about that. Maybe she was just demonstrating the way they would have been used when they were invented.

Yeah and the thing is she is using these tools , which were meant to create those vintage styles, and the thing about vintage (and I mean 1920s-1960s) hair. Is that you are suppose to brush them out, until you get the desired look. The problem for the majority of the video is that the person is only combing/brushing enough to seperate the curls which will seperate them into a frizzy mess In the vintage community, it is taught that you continue brushing your hair (along with including small amounts of i.e. of pomade) until you get the desired look you see in vintage pictures or magazines. Since generally with wet sets, there is no fear of brushing out the curls If you see old videos of hairdresserd back then, not only would they brush the curls out vigorously. They would also manipulate them to get the desired finish look. Like the old hollywood waves or a more fluffy look (like the hair of Rita Hayworth in the 1940s)

Also don't brush from the top down! Start at the bottom and work out the knots below, before going up. Or you'll have a tangled and painful mess. I can see the tell tale damage to her hair from not doing it right.

Yes! No brushing it!! Without the right product it will not have a good result. Should only separate with fingers

300% agreed. When she took out the COMB to start combing her hair... I KNEW it was a bad idea. 😥

My hair will not hold curl, period. I've tried heat, wet/damp wrapped around something until it was bone dry, nothing. I've had a professional hairstylist curl my hair, after insisting she could do it, and within the hour my hair barely counted as wavy. Back in the day when teased big hair was the style? That wouldn't stay either. The only thing I haven't tried was expensive products, like shampoos, conditioners, styling products, etc. Basically, if I couldn't get them at Walmart, it wasn't happening... Mostly because poor, as in I grew up poor and am still that way. Anyway, the whole point of this is the OP said that their hair doesn't hold curl with so maybe they have some tips?

That's how I've seen it done for short hair 😍😍 I tried when I had a pixie cut & failed 😂 but I had a 3 barrel crimping iron that helped me fake it lol wasn't as good tho

TRUTH!!!!

I don't think she understood the goal of the Marcel look!

Should have used a wide tooth comb.

What products did your grandma use? Wet or dry hair? Please help, I need to know as much as possible! Thank you a lot. Edit: Or if your grandma used some no longer available products or you don't remember, what would you use now? Thank you for all the info you already gave in your comment.

@@teya5430 They'd just curl my hair after a bath when it was still wet, but towel dried, so not sopping wet. Then I'd sleep and when I'd wake in the morning they'd be dry. If they were still damp we'd use a blow dryer but that was rare. In the morning we'd just use hairspray. Nothing fancy! Now when I use curlers, once they're out I add a little bit of gel at the very top just to make sure I don't have flyaways when I'm styling. And I usually just use a cordless curling iron I got on Amazon. It curls my hair in 15min or less, I use it in the car on the way to work sometimes. It has different settings and temperatures. I use the lowest time and lowest heat, I curl it for half of the time (it's 8 seconds, I do 4) and then I brush out the curls. They naturally fall into a pinup style and I just add a touch of hairspray in the front and on top. Then the curls will stay nice for 2 days. The second day they turn into a more relaxed beachy look. Hope that helps!

When I was little I had those ringlet rag curls when I was a bridesmaid. We did them the morning before the wedding. They were so cute.

Love foam curlers. Rags are also great and easier for me to wear over night. I already have wavy and curly hair. I just use curlers to enhance and shape.

@@JBunny7482 Thank you very much

What does it look like after? I always wondered what that brush was for when I was little!

If she had left the hair as is after removing from brush, then it would have looked like it was supposed to.

Boy oh boy those were my bangs from 7 th thru 10th 11 &12th grade same bangs just not as tall. Lol I still fix my bangs in a toned down version as what she called "mall bangs" I can see why she called them that hanging out at the mall was all the rage. I guess I would call them the big bangs of the big hair bands!

We used to call the people who wore their bangs like this pouffers

Where I lived the crimper went out of style by 1981, the "mall bangs" ( a name given way after the fact) we simply called them teased bangs...cause that's what they were, started around 1985-86 and the jacket was pure early 90s. Lol love how they spanned the decade in 1 look

crimping was still a thing when I was a kid in the early 90s here in north texas... and everyone had poofy poodle bangs haha

@@KatherineRoseArt wow...lol I lived close to NYC so we stayed on top of the newest trends

Since generally with wet sets, there is no fear of brushing out the curls. On top of manipulating it, you can see for example in the first product, you can see the wave starting to form near the roots. If only she did not just comb through it so few times and actually manipulated the hair to form the waves.

I've never heard of that! I'd love to see it. I imagine the wet hair seeping through the bag to break the piece in half tho, so I wonder how that works 🤔 my bff is half black & opening her own shop dedicated to textured hair, I wonder if she'd like to try that (she grew up with the white side of her family so only learned how to care for her hair since we've been like mid 30s, we're 40 now, bffs since 12)

@@JBunny7482 Hi, You towel dry the hair until damp, it's not dripping wet when you roll up your hair. I've got baby fine thin hair, but a lot of it. I might have made it all night with the paper rollers if not for the fine hair. So use bobby pins to secure it if needed. I only lost 3 overnight, but in noticable places. And probably because I'm an active sleeper, I roll over a lot. Just twist the hair then roll up around the doubled over bag strips. Leave the strips about an inch wide, and at least 6 inches long. So cut a few 2 inches by 6 inches and see if that works for you before cutting out all of them. Hope this helps clarify things for you. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵🙂✌️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊 🌎☮️🕊️

Lol by hand with gel in beauty school! me too!!! I think we had to do at least 1 while taking the state board too

@@mplight2941 oh my goodness I can't imagine doing them for state boards! But I did have to complete 20 full heads of them to graduate school.

THIS! But my teacher flawnted the fact that there was a tool but we needed to learn the hard way and then the "Easy" way.

I know right! Lol

Except when the lock arm thing keeps breaking off when you're trying to lock it cuz you put too much hair and you have to reroll that piece 😂

You have to pick the right size. You can tell by the size how tight the curl will be

Well the thing about those 1st couple of products is that they were meant to do vintage (and I mean 1920s-1960s) hair. And in vintage hair you are suppose to brush them out, until you get the desired look. The problem for the majority of the video, is that the person is only combing/brushing enough to seperate the curls which will seperate them into a frizzy mess In the vintage community, it is taught that you continue brushing your hair (along with including small amounts of i.e. of pomade) until you get the desired look you see in vintage pictures or magazines. Since generally with wet sets, there is no fear of brushing out the curls. If you look at old newsreels showing 1940s-1950s hairstylists. They would vigorously brush the curls, on top of manipulating and styling them until you get the desired look. Since that is how you get those Old Hollywood waves or a more fluffy look you see for example what Rita Hayworth had in the 1940s

Yea, I think the wrapping of the hair might have been different and had better outcomes.

Yeah I find that weird also. Since the thing about vintage (and I mean 1920s-1960s) hair. Is that you are suppose to brush them out, until you get the desired look.

Sleeping on those bristly ones was awful! I also remember accidentally stabbing myself in the scalp with the little pink plastic pins that you poked through them to get them to stay 😆

@@autumnmiller9225 oh yeah, I forgot about those!

She was off by a decade, and those bangs weren't made by backcombing and she used nowhere near enough hairspray!

Amazon

I never saw a ball brush or the resulting thing she did with it. Before or after the brushing.

Me too 😂 used them couple weeks ago... The horror 😂😂😂

I've seen them for sale online in all kinds of online stores

Jealous❣️ I always wanted those barbie rollers!!!

She might! Just kidding. We all know her hairdresser is in charge.

Where can I get them?

@@wangarireginah try the beauty supply stores you never know
