Why Your 1920s Hairstyle Doesn't Look Right 

wearing a full authentic 1920s look to prom. this video helped with the hair so much! i will be practicing before the big day haha

as someone who is going to be performing in a 1920s-30s theatre production soon, this was SO IMMENSELY helpful. we won't be wearing headbands because it's mainly a work/home/court environment. my hair is ridiculously long because I prefer it that way, so a faux bob is necessary. thanks so much for making this video!!

WOW! Cherry you hit the nail on the head with your tutorial. I am a hair designer/ and stylist and work in Theatre and Film in Ontario Canada and been styling hair for 60 years and sort after for my experience working with vintage looks and working with all manner of false hair human and synthetic wigs. I teach salon hairstylist who want to transition to Theatre and Film the art of styling period hair, the fundamentals of working with wigs and creating undos. Hair setting products is a must to set the hair so it will hold the curl or wave pattern. I am a great fan of White Sand liquid spray for setting dry hair, and mousse products. There is a system for easy setting. Sectioning and clipping hair out of the way and starting at the nape below the occipital and working your way to the front. I have tricks to reduce the bulk of long hair from The occipital for shorter hairstyles.Thank you so much for your attention to detail. Keep up the good work. Bravo!👏👏👏🙏🏻❤️🇨🇦

The 1920s had some nice hairstyles. If you were living back in 1927 and walked on the street, you could see at least 3 girls with a dutch bob hairstyle in every corner. But in the early 1930s, they would become tricky to find, the flappers themselves became rare to see.

"Curl your hair" me with naturally curly hair: nice

This is so underrated for being the professional, straight to the point video that it is! Loved it and thank you for the helpful tips! I'm your 303rd subscriber!!! :D

I had a decent hunch about 1920's hair from old illustrations and photos, but this video helped me to fill in the holes in my knowledge. Thank you for this video!

Please do a tutorial on your hair . So lovely

Pincurl setting my hair before bed, and I found this. Karolina the Meme mom knows her 1920s, too. 😉

Used to have my hair like this too, just brilliant xxx

Arrived here trying to find a way to mimmic Olive Oyl hairstyle for a cosplay. Giving the fact that Olive Oyl is a flapper, and her hairstyle is SO ICONIC, but also nonesense, since she wears it like her mother Nana Oyl (banana oil = nonesense). I'm going to put this advices into action xD

Brilliant!! I really love this video, thank you:) luckily I chopped my hair short enough to qualify for this look 👀 and I’m not left forcing myself to wear extensions, hats, and hijabs 😅

love your art style

i have natural curly hair so i have a lot of trouble figuring out how to, organize them lol

My hair so long 😂 ...but look lovely when is done :D

I think I might be in over my head here 🥲

Prom is the great Gatsby and I needed neeeeeded this video 😊

Very insightful, Cheers!

thank you - i have a great gatsby ball and I am researching styles etc and I cringe when everything is mashed up together and is t costumey thank you for the tips

My friend invited me (her much older friend) to her prom which is 1920's theme. I decided to be as authentic as possible in one day. 😂 Hugely helpful! ❤️

Really interesting video and it's viola like you said the first time!😍🤣

I would go so far as to put the volume at the occipital bone rather than below it (early 1920s could be worn much higher and it travelled down by the 30s it was just under the occipital bone)

Very informative, thanks a lot!🙂

Thank you, you have helped a hard decision. Short bob here I come

I have straight hair I can manage a descent psyche knot with padding (would be better with proper wet set, but I still have to perfect it) but I would definitely not advise against doing headphone buns on you natural texture (unless it's natural black hair of any sort, it's around the time black women had access and interest in recreating textures of white people so I don't know how common and accepted it was for a black woman to wear natural hair within her community) So, even if it would help (and if your hair doesn't work for any period, I'd advise to curl your hair the way they did back then) it's not as vital as in later and some earlier decades I would even say get the right type of curl in your hair because we tend to go much looser than they did (even a sleek sculptural do may require the smallest foam rollers available on the market today) try to see what they did to they hair

There are some people (such as me) where curls don't hold. At the same time, though, I've only used the heated curling irons. The curls never stayed in my hair for more than 10 minutes. Do you have any tips for such hair?

Were turbans used in this decade?

if i have naturally curly hair do i need to pincurl it still

Yes add more Halloween 👻 now yes Halloween decorations

Love this. Thank you!

Ears, as an erogenous zone, was seen as tempting and sexy. So they were supposed to be covered.

2/3

Fishnet stockings are a no no

Are you an ISFP?😄

Your hairstyle is not out there for a 20s person. - \ German Berlin created the true fashion of the severe straight line of cut in short hair. This continued as high fashion until a refeminisation of Woman during war times especially WWII.

I feel like don't show too much. Their sowing their neck more now so they hide their ears
