Vintage 1940's Beauty Routine for Women in 1948 - BW Version 

So true!

Hetalian 👀

@@RC.- Siiiiiiiii😄😄❤️

@@paulrossi4863 sorry to burst your bubbles but people totally had those in the 40s, Victorians had those, Renaissance people, Vikings and ancient egyptians had those too...

@@paulrossi4863 criterias of freakiness are subjective I'd say. If I see a girl with blue hair my first thought is "she has an artsy personality", meanwhile if I see a well dressed girl who's a nazi I will think she's an abnormal freak eventhough those people where everywhere in the 40s. I guess it's also related to what you've been use to see growing up. For someone who grew up seeing only natural hair colors, hair dyes are weird, but if you grew up being used to see people with pink hair, your brain wouldn't even notice it much

So true. I used to use expensive stuff like that. Due to budget, I switched to Ponds anti wrinkle $1.95 and Sauve. No difference at all. The Suave is actually excellent these days.

@@karinscott1241 l am a beauty therapist and the only cream that doesn't break me out is Lidls own brand 🤷‍♀️. I actually love it...

“Nothing can take the place of your daily bath or shower...”. Lol I want them to reiterate that part

Frugal and practical - my favorite 🙏🏻

PONDS COLD CREAM DOES EVERYTHING YOU NEED ON SKIN FRUCTIS OR SUAVE FOR HAIR AND HERE THAT ANNOUNCER: WASH YOUR HAIR EVERY WEEK TO WEEKS. In 2019, we wash the hell out of our hair: most white folks, that is..

I'm young and I do this! I twist my damp hair a little and get the most beautiful beachy waves, leaves my hair smelling like it was just washed too, or makes my perfume last longer. I get complimented more on my "wild" look than with other things. (I know it depends on hair texture and your own possibilities, but I really recommend to style it a little damp because my hair is really thin, so it adapts quite easily).

True my mom used bobby pins..was gorgeous..I had brush rollers then comfy pink sponge rollers..see the cute hairsetting books we all got at supermarket checkouts. Fun.

I don’t see how sitting around in curlers is convenient

@@debbylou5729 think of it this way. You roll the rollers on Sunday morning while you sip a breakfast mimosa. You do your makeup, get ready to relax for the day, and let your hair dry around those rods. You undo them, and brush the curls out, and now have perfect fluffy voluminous hair for the entire week! Would you rather that? Or spend your every morning with a blow dryer and curling iron?

@@barbarjinks8170 I’ve lived this and it sucks. Sucks so bad that dryers were invented and then it still sucked. The thought of not washing my head for a week, makes my skin crawl. I guess one persons heaven (where you only get good hair at the end of a long boring day) is another persons hell

Exactly. Product placement honestly confuses my choice.

Well yeah, they didn’t have much to work with so of course they didn’t.

Exactly

It was a time when the bottom line mattered and not whats on the left or right

@Salty Syren Thé did still extort people since many products still had things producers know were dangerous but still sold companies have always been like that

well most of them are educational videos funded by the government whereas most modern tutorials are made by people trying to sell you stuff

True now people just tell us to buy things from legit gucci or we will look like a raisin

@@inspiredby624 now that you mentioned it,,, i can’t believe i just realized about that

@@nilah811 LMDAOOAAOOAOA

I was aware of them. He's also giving bad advice about scrubbing the skin and brushing the hair (if your hair is curly--mine is--you don't want or need to use combs and brushes.

"Or more Often if needed" is what he said.

Cosmic Dancer yeah but that causes buildup which leads to hair loss... that happened to me

@@wednesdaysdoll but this is NOT AT ALL true for natural curly hair!

Me, someone who washes her hair every second day, hearing that like 👁️👄👁️

I believe their soaps were super strong and stripped their hair of all oils. If they washed it as often as we do today, they would probably have scraggly, thin hair!

Sailor y did u say attractive beauty ?

women are beautiful 😍😍😍

This is more so self maintenance rather than a beauty routine. I do feel good when I'm clean, so I'll roll with it 🤷🏽‍♀️

I cannot listen to the narrator bc he is man-splaning.

My bf always says "it is not just for your body to look good bae but for your mind too."

Yes..so sad today..all the plastic surgery..😪

Well, first of all, the cap wasn't rubber. If it were, her hair would have caught on it. And second, I guarantee you she goes to bed with curlers in her hair every night. It's trained to be that way.

But what about that beginning of her hairline that got wet where the cap didn't cover it? Would that have messed up the look?

Lol

Nope, you aren't.

her hair all smooth and silky and protected. What magic did they use back then???

And to think it was from the 1940s.

Yes. It's awesome!

For white women, none of this was geared towards black women our other women of color

@@JordanWilliams-ix2td why do people always have to bring race in-

@@JordanWilliams-ix2td black women don’t use soap or water? Brush there teeth?? Tweeze? Clean there nails? Shave? Wow… Aside from the hair care what else is different??

My grandma, who died a year ago, was still washing her hair in the sink.

@@MssBeccaSpain Bless her soul :) My grandmother in Tunisia, North Africa, didnt' have a separate bathroom in her house, but the shower was made up of a hoze in the open roof patio, and we'd hang a sheet for privacy....As babies we'd just bathe in plastic buckets....It has helped me appreciate my comfort growing up in France in relative "luxury"! ;)

It can be so relaxing to wash your hair the ‘old way’! In the countryside i would wash my hair in the sauna: the firewoods heated up some water in a metal basin, which would then be mixed in a bucket with cold water from the well. Even though it took way more time, it felt quite rewarding at the end :-)

sink works better

I don’t get it, how so people wash their hair if not in the sink??

Doll Lee ikr

Lol!!🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏

I'd rather be a walnut than a fool.

😂😂😂

No wet edges or anything. If only this was real life.

She must have put it on carefully before showering

For real lol

@@flazaydah1185 Hahaha ! Me too !

I actually only wash my hair once every 7-10 days, but i bathe about 2-3 times a week. And i often have my hair in 40s styles, and when i do i wear a cap as well, and although i nvr put my head directly under the water, my hair still looks 90% the same. When i wear my hair in older styles, such as 1800s or 1700s, or before, it normally doesnt change much either... BUT if i have a more modern style and try it it normally has changed ALOT. I believe its cause older styles are MEANT to last unless ur hair gets soaked. PLUS all the dry shampoo used in between washes helps make it stay put, i dont use TONS of hairspray, just a bit, even on 40s styles, but the little bit used helps. But sometimes i dont even use it. Its about the way u care for it and style it. But this IS a very possible thing. ALTHOUGH we clearly saw her edges get wet, so that would still be wet. Although an easy fix.

*what God had given you

@@gabriellameattray9778 some people aren’t religious...?

@@AlexSmith-qw3nl what we believe does not change the fact that God is real. He knit you together in the womb and he loves you so much. God saved me from the new age, from my lifestyle of death. He is so merciful and good. Repent and believe in Jesus! There's no love as great as his

@@voopsin8116 proof of what?

@@gabriellameattray9778 I love you ❤️

It's simply ignorance!

My mom told me that and i was scared 👀

IT DOES GROW BACK THICKER TF DUMMY💩

@@deirdrerhi it depends on some people smh...UR IGNORANT 💀🤡

Mine grow darker and thicker when I shave them. My hair is naturally light brown so I can see a noticeable difference. However when I wax and the hair is removed from the follicles, it grows back light brown and smooth.

Nobody usually needs them. I’ve heard of breast cancer survivors getting breast implants after a mastectomy. Even if they don’t need them, if they want them and they are happy with them, that’s ok. Also, a LOT of trans people undergo surgeries to help combat gender dysphoria. That has been proven to really help mental health.

@ I have no gender Where are the studies to show surgery helps?

@@deec3561 I don't have any links, but if you google "gender dysphoria treatment", looking past the ads, you'll see that many medical professionals recommend surgery for severe cases.

Because of todays unrealistic beauty standards in new "trends" (just my opinion)

40's. Not 50's.

😂

Don’t worry, trends are for the insecure. Do what you like 😊

@@matjb ;/

😂😂😂😂

Right! I cannot wear a greasy ass head of hair for more than one day 😂

I think I could get a natural mohawk by then.

@@meredithr9824 For real though

They probably suggested two weeks because shampoo in the 40s was not always PH balanced. Washing your hair too much with highly acidic shampoo isn't good for the scalp.

Well isn't that an old wives tale? The hair looks think because it's stuck together

and yet people still believe it grows back thicker 80 years later. it just appears thicker because of the blunt tip

even if it grows back thicker, can't you just shave it again?

@@ruthpangaribuan2755 Exactly!

I have literally gotten into an argument with my old roommate when they said you could grow more hair if you just started shaving it 🙃

@Miss Steele Horse shit.

@Miss Steele hell no

..and wash EVERY 2 WEEKS!

Because we abuse it with heat. And chemicals.

@@seeleygirl6178 And we do that because people who sell products claim it is necessary to abuse ourselves in this way; they appeal to insecurity to sell products.

Only it's better

Yes 😂

ARMY

Hahahaha

yeah😂😂😭

Omg, ❣️

they wash their hair every 2 weeks? ewww

@@AriaColeccionistaDeCanciones tbh it’s a battle to get them to wash their hair at all

Aw this is so cute.

I can imagine them in the home dressing up for a night out as they would then😃

comb and brush your hair thoroughly... **wheezes in curly hair**

It should still squeak. I'm just trash at it. 😔 whenever my mom would wash my hair It would be clean. I hope I get it together soon lol

@@thesecretnewbie8872 you can brush curly hair just only when it's wet.

My hair squeaks and I’m black lol

curly hair still squeeks mate

"she avoids red nail polish so not to draw attention to her stubby fingers." Is a line I loved in another vintage beauty/hygiene tutorial. Brutally honest but a good tip.

yeah, a nice time to live except for the WW2 going on 🙄

@@-2250 obviously, that’s why I didn’t mention that…

I was thinking the same! My mom thought it makes hair thicker! Shes like 42!

I heard it from a makeup artist recently i don't know where it came from because it the same principle than trim the hair ends. I still prefer sugaring tho.

I wish someone had told me it wasn't a myth lol

@Mijita Chula totally true,

Here’s the thing: I’ve gotten my legs waxed for about two years and recently switched to shaving and I can say for a fact that the hair does not grow as nice with shaving and grows quicker. When I got waxed, the hair started getting prickly after two weeks and with shaving, it gets prickly after day 2

I mean there's people who still think the earth is flat after several centuries

Well shaving hair makes the hair thicker at the end I believe, since the blade is very harsh. But overall the thickness should stay the same

its just the illusion created by the shaved end of the hair... like the hair tip is flat

They do get darker, though

I literally still believed that till like 2 years ago

Someone needs to tell the Kardashian clan that 😄.

@@katyp.2495 😜

Exactly and no man should be shaving his ball sack.

that's why I always liked the expression, "look your best". Your best. Not some other person's best of their idea of best. Your best. Cheers, Anna

@@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw you prefer someone does it for you? :P

Absolutely!

Even more so in the Edwardian era when hair was super long and indoor plumbing wasn't quite as commonplace.

That’s nothing’s compared to edwardians!

Yes, because also, that meant setting it in curlers and sitting under a hair dryer.

yeah, but they only did it once or twice a month!

Staying out of the sun is 90% of the solution!

Depends on the age and skin type as well. Someone older would require something else, to counter the wrinkles.

I thought the same about myself. lol

This is very GAY!

I wish my hair would fall like that anyway, cap or no cap!

Sian Valadian i wash my curly hair every 3-4 days, if it’s not greasy, it smells stale at the least. i can’t imagine two weeks! ick

I wish my hair fell like that right after I do it lol

Heidi Hudgins yep! I wash my hair once every two ...sometimes once every two and a half weeks. And that’s how I think my hair has always been so thick all of these years!

That is because you do not have oily hair

Oily hair does require more washing, but I agree with you as I have dry hair. Try to leave the natural oils alone and let them build up a bit. The shampoo companies used to say lather, rinse, and repeat (i.e., use more product!). That would only be necessary if your hair is truly quite dirty. Daily washing, except if you really need it, will ensure that your scalp will stay too dry. It's an individual thing. I easily go four days or more.

Unless your hair is oily

@@valeriaa5496 dry shampoo boo

@Salty Syren feels bad man i feel sorry for her

this is the year that my mom was born. amazing to see.

My grandmother would’ve been 12 when this was filmed. Hard to believe.

I wonder how old the girl in the video is today?

She looked 18-23, I would say 93 - 98

Your mother had good genes, the beauty routines were probably unnecessary lol.

Awe :( I’m so sorry for your loss.

@@maledicenttails I don’t think it’s the time

Sorry for your loss

So So Sorry :(.

I've never washed it more than weekly, often 2 weeks between washings. It's hip length and difficult to wash, so that's all I can stand lol

"Or more often if necessary"

Mine gets dirty in 2 days! 😅

Ragdoll Bunniii 🤣🤣

Fleas??? Wtf

hahaha how adorable. flees prefer clean hair XDDD

Woman had less freedom this time btw

Lol I mean hes right. Does it make her past self any less pretty? Nope.

@@korinakorinakorina I gues you're right. It was only a joke😁 my brother didn't say that, but that joke came in my head so I wanted to say it 😁

Ahaha this is great

Love it!

I’m 38 and I hardly ever see a woman as attractive as the main woman in this video. The women who were in their 20s during the 1940s were truly queens of beauty.

they chose good looking ones

Of course they have make up on :)

The lighting and the fact that it's black and white makes everyone look better. Don't feel bad.

No Maria, gay. I'm gay for all those beautiful women lmao

keep in mind its a black and white movie filmed with a potato... its basically like one of those instagram story filters to make skin look perfect...

Curling and they brushing though it. You can do it with a hot iron too.

Pin curls. Just as the video shows, curl your hair while wet. Sleep on it and if it is dry in the morning, unpin it and it will poof out when you brush it.

@@cellgrrl thx for the advice!

No straighteners and no excessive washing and these modern day chemicals these things thin the hair out

Better diet. Less chemicals.

Karen Murphy oh my I love the 60s! The fashion is my far most favorite!!

For some reason just watching this brought me back to Jr. High and Seventeen Magazine and I can just smell the Noxema and the Prell shampoo (out of the tube) or either BODY ON TAP! ha

....ohhhhhh yahhhh, the grade-school Thursday afternoon ‘film strips’...;)!

Ladies, did you wash your hair once every two weeks? If so, would it be really dirty?

Telling girls that they need to shave their legs and armpits or groom their eyebrows? That's outrageous! Can't say that anymore.

@Salty Syren All men are expected to have beards these days

Where would they show these films back in the day? A movie theatre?

@@SamuelBlack84 school

@Salty Syren not really though,plenty of men keep beards. I agree partially, we shouldn't be pressurising men to shave.

It’s a healthy way to wash your hair from the back while your face is down, It helps you to improve blood circulation in your follicles..

Lee-Ane you look like you ask to speak to the manager with that haircut.

Maybe they couldn't waste lots of shower water

I was thinking how odd to wash hair after getting out of the shower too.

Very few people had showers then. They only had bathtubs. I grew up that way. We washed our hair in the basement, using the utility laundry sink.. Big, deep sink. That's all we knew. Everyone did their hair like that. I am 71. We had Home Ecconomic classes that taught many of these things. I got a big laugh out of some of these comments. This video brought back many memories. I still use the routines I learned decades ago. If it isn't broken, don't fix it! 😅😅

Yeah..you have to be perfect, and clean. Otherwise,no man will put an eye on you! 😂

🤣💯

Oh incel. Just ignore all of the pressure that laid on them. You don't sound like anyone would like to be provided for by you anyway @topherh33

@@gggggggggggggggggg161 bruh it was a joke

I think the calm tone and lack of today's often jarringly loud music and quick scene cutaways help create that relaxing atmosphere.

I like the crackling background noise

ariannasv22 oh please sis give me a link 😓

I KNOW all the other tutorials are like “tAkE tHiS eXpEnSiVe pRoDUcT (that does absolutely nothing) aNd ApPly pLeNtY aNd tHeN aPply 20 pOuNds oF mAkeUp” all the tutorials nowadays aren’t about hygiene they’re about expensive products and trying to look unnatural

My husband uses that kind. I tried it once and it was scary. It's not light either and I was so afraid as the blade was super sharp.

It’s actually really easy to use and super safe as well. It’s also better on your skin than those plastic disposable razors, as the sharpness of the blade makes it glide on smoothly without scraping your skin (the disposable ones do. They also pull the hair). I never pay too much attention when I shave but never have a single nick.

It practically looks like a torture device! :0

OMG, I had forgotten about those razors. I used to nick the hell out of my legs, especially my shins, and many times I'd come out of the bathroom with little wads of toilet paper stuck to my legs to control the bleeding.

You let the weight carry the razor. No pressure! That's how you cut yourself.

My mom was 16 in 1948. She turns 87 one week from now.

@Adam Buentello if you look hard enough you will find those kind of people in any age and time of history. ...but this video isn't about that so don't try and ruin it by posting your stinky vomit reply.

Awww how sweet

I was born in 1948. The woman in this film looks very much like my mother. I suppose it is because of the styles then. My mother wore her hair like that. Sometimes she would put my hair in pin curls as well. I am happy that your mom lived a long life, I lost mine when she was 44 (I was 18), so I appreciate seeing these old films more than most.

@Adam Buentello .. you are full of hate, go see a psychiatrist.

I feel like there is something to be learnt from that.

woman: is a model chosen for the video because of her good skin you: is just an everyday ordinary person that struggles like the rest of us :)

Also the fact that today a person can have an identical diet and workout and be on average 30 lbs heavier than a person in the 1970s... environmental pollutants and the general effects of capitalism are far more intense now than they were in the 50s also.

Less is better using a lot is so much chemicals it’s not necessary

Each era have their own struggles too. There was WW2 in 1940s. Happiness and positive mindset is depend on our mindset and how much we want to learn about them.

the video is from 1948. sure, middle class women in USA - just like the one in the video - could have been happy, but meanwhile for example in poland and germany people were still starving and recovering from the horrors of war. so many of them had deep wrinkles and grey skin at a young age because of what the war did to them. and they had to work outside a lot to have anything to eat, the steel fist of stalinism was just beggining to settle in and soon people in russia would starve to death. i just mean to say that we should always remember the context of everything we see especially in history.

😢

It’s nobody business whether or not they got plastic surgery tho🤷🏾‍♀️. I’m all here for supporting all body types or the fact that a few ppl aren’t comfortable/confident for the one they were born with.

BTSUBLIMINALS totally agree with you. It’s annoying how people get attacked for just voicing this opinion. There is nothing healthy about glorifying plastic surgery and photoshop as it promotes body dysmorphia and teaches little girls that they aren’t good enough and need to be enhanced to feel beautiful and accepted. It’s an extremely dangerous message. Society is so hypocritical, glorifying fake unrealistic beauty standards at the same time as preaching about self and body acceptance.

No? People still get shit on for plastic surgery, yes we're more open about it but people still get shit on in general, most girl with natural make-up don't even have plastic surgery, what girls are you surrounding yourself with?

lmao i’m not using ur subliminals if u sprout stuff like this. let people do what they want. write some affirmations to be more accepting love :)
