(suspenseful music)
- Oh God, your hair is on the thing now
(laughter)
- Hi, I'm Chloe and welcome to Bizarre Beauty.
90's edition.
This is the show that I try weird internet products,
so you don't have to.
(lively music)
(meow)
So Today, I am living out a childhood dream.
YAY
Back in the 90s, I'm old.
I really really really wanted one of these things.
Do you guys remember this?
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe not,
Cause you're probably like 10.
So back in the 90s, in the early 2000s,
I feel like these was a lot of beads,
braids and twists and ribbons that was super popular
to put in your hair.
I have no idea how to do it myself.
But, this thing did it for you!
This is kind of thing that like every girl wanted
at their sleepovers, and I never tried one.
Not even at someone else's house.
At you can see from this picture,
you put your hair in the machine and it twist it for you.
(terrified music)
I don't know about you but that sounds terrifying to me.
But you know, I'm willing to give it a try,
for nostalgic reasons.
So apparently, you can create a 100 dazzling hair style.
I don't know how that works,
wonder if this one bead counts as like one hair style.
I just realized that there are actually two
different attachments.
One, is like this circular weird Tim Burton thing,
that like pulls
(beeps)
through.
That wraps your hair I guess.
This things look like it can be kinda complicated,
I'm a little nervous.
It does say one-handed activation here though,
so that's encouraging because,
if I can do it with one handed
- [Lindsay] Well also, isn't it mean for kids?
(chuckle)
- Also it is meant for children.
So let's open it.
This is As Seen On T.V so you know it's good.
I love the colors,
You get two different ribbons with it,
you get beads,
and then these little neon
situations to tie the twists.
Now, actually probably read the instructions.
There's like a million different instructions.
I don't want to read it all.
Alright, I'm going to try the original,
which is this one first,
it wraps your hair in the ribbon.
I feel like I'm about to set up a sewing machine.
(elated music)
So it says get this thing,
take the lid off.
Place small thread into devices,
this is literally how you set up a sewing machine.
(jazz music)
I think that comes through here.
Nope, is this it?
What am I doing?
That's not it.
(fast fowarding)
(dropping noise)
I'm pretty sure I've done this right, but here we go.
Place stands of hair through center of threader.
Where's a nice long bit.
You're like, doing this.
Press knob down, is this a knob?
So am I suppose to go up or down?
Oh my god, I can't understand this and I'm adult.
- [Matt] No, I think you're supposed to go down.
- So I have to start at the top.
This feels so,
doesn't work has it?
- [Lindsay] What the (beeps)
is going on?
- What the (beeps)
is this!?
My hair is no longer through the middle.
I'm being a complete idiot right now.
I understand the point,
but I don't think that I am learning quick enough.
I guess this is just for hair wrapping,
I don't really want a hair wrap,
I want a twist.
So, I'm gonna try the braiding thing,
which looks even more horrifying.
How can children do this?
They are just left unsupervise,
to just rip their hair.
Press down on cover to reveal hook.
Ohhh, So it says to put a stand of hair,
oh, I need two stands don't I,
Because of twisting.
Goodbye hair, it was nice knowing you.
Is this too big?
Who knows.
This is quite hard do it on your own,
I will say.
This is why it's good for sleepovers,
if you have friends.
Place a stand in hook.
Okay, so then it caught.
Do you start from the top again?
Matt, you seems to know.
So let's start from the top again.
- [Matt] I would imagine you start with the bottom.
- Oh, it seems to be facing down in the picture.
There you go, facing down and then you just,
GO!
(bell ringing)
Oh, it comes out
(beeps)
I guess it's done?
And then you can place a bead,
and then we gonna put it here,
And your beautiful hairstyle is complete.
I think I need to do another one,
where I continue.
But, it seems a little scary so I stopped.
But now, I am an expert.
So I am going to do it on this side.
The hell is going on?
Now it's just mangled.
It just mangled!
Look at this!
(booming)
Alright, you know what?
I am going to have one more attempt at this,
and I have to perfect 90s looking girl to help me.
Lindsay, come on in.
Hi, look at you,
you fit right in.
Look at this ecstatic.
(90s music)
- Here
- I'm scare
(laughter)
I don't think,
I'm just wondering if it easier if I do it on you.
- Yeah
This literally the three instructions,
that I'm giving to you.
- This is terrible!
Let's do tiny pieces.
- Tiny
- Teeny
Tiny
- Ugh, I feel like I'm at the salon.
- I mean, I don't think they do at the salon.
(laughter)
Wait, I like the hooks.
Those are nice.
- Right,
But then it tells you tighten it,
and that the bit that always goes wrong.
- So, I'm making sure they not together
- Right
- And then you push it down.
- Yeah
(twirling noise)
- Oh god, your hair is on the thing now.
(laughter)
Why is it doing this!?
- I don't know.
I hate it.
(dropping sound)
- I truly feel like we're like seven again.
And we're just like mad,
because we just can't figure it out.
(child screaming)
Alright, I'm just gonna go up.
(twirling sound)
- So that.
- Okay that,
that what tighten it.
- Yeah
Is it working?
- Yeah!
- Yeah?
- Yeah!
Okay
Now put a
- Bead, bead, bead
My hand is too big
- Wait
- Adult-like, to get this open.
Am I ready for my debut as a teen?
- Oh, okay wait.
Matt is it beautiful?
- [Matt] It's better
- Oh yeah these are way better then these
*beep*
things.
Yay!
(harp playing)
(whipping sound)
In conclusion,
- In conclusion,
- Glam twirls only works
- With a friend.
- With a magic friendships.
- Oh my god.
- You can figure out how to take that out
Oh no.
- Okay,
does this work?
Kinda.
Will I do it again?
Nope.
Bye.
(joyful music)
