Hi, it's me again
Wait oh, it's been a while. I just don't know how to make a YouTube video anymore
I guess so as you probably know and as you remember from my video
Which I posted in December or so, it is kind of complicated to get a retro hairstyle
done if you want it to be good, but I have discovered some ideas. What is wrong with this collar
Anyway, there are some ways however
to do it in a fast way, um and obviously it's not going to look as authentic as
actually doing some effort and curling your hair, but it's still not bad, and it's still an
Alternative for lazy people and for people that don't have time to still add some retro --what am I doing?--
accents to your everyday look-- everyday look?
What am I, am I a fashion blogger now? So, I was-- I was actually thinking-- where's my phone? Oh my god
Oh it's here--
I was thinking I would measure the time it takes me to make each of the hairstyle
So you would kind of know how long it takes to make them. Oh my goodness, so stressful. It's probably the most uncomfortable setup
That I've ever done
Like for video because my mirror is like a hundred miles away
[singing part of "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by the Proclaimers]
Just look at the sectioning here because I used to do it somewhere here, and then it didn't work, so just remember this bit here
When you do it on your own. So I'm basically just doing a ponytail
And that's it, that's the first hairstyle. So, usually you should use like a comb to section your hair
But because I've lost mine. I'm just gonna use my fingers instead and
like take sections of my hair and backcomb them-- again you should use a comb for this, but mine is
in my friend's flat right now. If your hair is like really heavy, or doesn't stay in place, you might use your hairspray
Well, here comes the hardest part, so what you want to do is put your fingers inside it
Doesn't really matter how many fingers depending on what you want to do and
just twist it around the fingers
And then what I do is I just take the fingers out and
Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Oh, my god, it's really good!
And then what you do is you pin it in place but you do it inside the swirl. Oh my god
You can't really see anything, can you? So it's like
You just push the pins inside so you don't start here
Cuz it will flatten it
And they don't really start here cuz that would suck but you do it sort of inside you might have to use a couple of pins
Not just one
The thing is my hair is kind of dark um
And I don't think you can see a lot
How long did it take me? Four minutes-- not too bad like if you're, if you're in a hurry
I guess that's pretty fast. What I like to do is, because I hate my ears, and I don't really like it the fact
that it's like really flat here what I like to do is take a scarf or like a bandana or anything-- this one's pretty cool, though
It's like
1950s
Fabulous, Las Vegas, so what I do is I
Fold it in half
And then I just twist it, which is not something very complicated I guess
but if you want to see... So I put it underneath my ponytail. And
I put it-- Oh that's better. Now you can actually see something
I put it behind the-- the thing and then we just tie it in a little
bow
Okay
I feel like the light is making me look like a zombie. So anyway, this is the first one. It took me four-- oh
what is wrong with this collar?? So never mind, it literally took me five minutes to do it um
What do you have to do in the end if you want it to hold, to like stay in place for the whole day you need
to spray it, but I'm not gonna spray it because I'm gonna do something else in a bit
See, the reason
I don't leave my hair like this is because they're straight and it kind of takes away all of the retro
effect. Here is what I like to use and it's basically like
a big donut
Like that one that you use for your hair. It's like cut in, just cut in
not in half really. It's just like cut in the middle. Now I'm gonna do a middle parting
Hopefully? Cuz I can't see anything and now I section my hair so the front
Stays like this
Uh, what I will do is I'll just tie it in the back, so it doesn't come in the way. Where's my hair tie?
Now these. Um you can actually do it a
Couple of ways you can basically do like
tiny rolls
that I'm not really good at so I'm not doing that, what I'm doing is I'll just
Twirl it like this and do something like that, but first I need to tease it. Oh
That's a perfect section, well done me okay, and it's done
[no audio here, the video has audio problems]
[singing] Put the blame on me
oh
That looks fantastic so what I'm doing now is I'm using this and I'm gonna
Ugh this is gonna be difficult, so I'm gonna do it somewhere here
And then I'll just twist my hair
Around it to cover it all. What you want to do is you want to keep it in sort of like a u-shape?
[no audio here, the video has audio problems]
Can you actually see anything? I can't see anything like I don't know I don't even know if that looks good
So this one is pretty similar. We're just gonna do a different thing in the back so what happens here is again
We section the front section
Section the front section?
So I'm just doing a ponytail again now these two
I'm doing the same thing as I just did but I'm not back combing it at this time
So nice outside, and I'm just
[audio cuts out]
So what I'm-- what I'm doing is I'm actually redoing the ponytail now because I want these guys to catch in
And now once we have a ponytail, we're just kind of digging in the ponytail.
We're making like a small hole right before the hair tie
Putting the ponytail inside the hole
And tightening it
Okay, so this is-- kind of reminds me of Beauty and the beasts to be honest like if I had more volume here
Agh, eriously
I'm just I'm seriously. I'm just gonna pin this in place. Okay another song for you guys to guess
[Singing] Hold tight hold tight hold tight [Polish??]
Okay, now here comes one of my favorite looks which is for really really lazy days. Middle parting preferably but you can actually do it
with a side parting too but I
Like the middle parting because it it actually looks like nineteen forties
Okay, so what I'm doing now is I'm putting it behind my ears like this
And basically, I'm gonna do like a very messy
French twist you're not gonna see it anyway, so it just needs to stay in place really doesn't need to be anything special
[no audio here, the video has audio problems]
I'm putting it on my head like this so this bit is supposed to stay sorta where your nose is
Now catch these two. Hehe, I can't even see myself
Okay now you can you can actually do it in like a couple of different ways but
What I like to do is, first
I'm using pins to sort of keep it on my head so I'm pinning it in place at the back of my head
Now I'm taking this and putting it in backwards, and I am tying these two on top of it
And now these two guys go underneath
[no audio here, the video has audio problems]
Do you like it? I think it's the last thing I'm showing you today these are all
Pretty simple they need, they obviously need practice
It's not like you do it and the first time you do it it
Turns out ok like it took me a while to figure out how to do this
You might have to watch the whole video in slo-mo to kind of figure out what's actually happening, so if it doesn't come out
Right the first time you do it, don't get discouraged because it takes time and practice
I'm still struggling to kind of figure out how to do some of these
But I think these are nice options if you're really lazy
Or if you don't have a lot of time, and you would still like to introduce some retro elements in your day to day
"Looks." So yeah, I think that's that's it, BY--
