- Hello, lovely people and welcome
to a highly requested easy vintage hairstyles video.
This video is sponsored by Kerastase, featuring some
of my absolute must-have Kerastase hair products.
I'll be linking almost everything I use down
in the description below, unless it is a vintage item,
in which case I will let you know.
(lively music)
Now, vintage hair is my thing.
For those of you who don't know,
this is not at all how my hair grows from my head.
My hair is completely straight, dead straight,
straight as a ruler, straight as a Roman road,
straight as attempts to think of straight things,
not my sexuality
but through a combination of sponge rollers,
a small amount of water and some Kerastase hair mousse
and also sleeping on them overnight, this is what we get.
So if you'd like to know how to curl your hair like this,
you can in the card up here.
However, the five hairstyles that I'll be showing you today
can be done on either curled hair or straight hair
and they are all perfect the start of term looks,
whether you're heading back to school yourself,
whether your university term is starting,
whether you are a mom on the go,
who needs a quick look in the morning
because you like to look nice on the school run, okay?
You don't want to just be turning up looking haggard,
which is sometimes how I feel
when I get up in the morning
and see my face in the mirror, haggard.
Also, does anyone else find
that they dress their child impeccably?
Always looks amazing, always looks lovely
and then you just...
It just doesn't always,
you don't always look as good as your child.
Why does he get to look so good?
Number one, make it all
about the scarf with the front fringe roll.
This look is probably my easiest go-to look
in the mornings to add a touch
of vintage style to any outfit.
It makes you feel fancy even when you just rolled out
of bed five minutes earlier and you're already late
and eating breakfast whilst also trying to get dressed.
It works with straight hair, as well as curled
but if your hair is naturally very, very straight,
then I would advise sleeping
with just a single roller in the front,
which is what I do when I'm too tired to curl my whole head.
Bring out your trusty Kerastase Laque Couture hairspray
for a long lasting hold that will set without stiffness.
Genuinely excellent anti-humidity effect, by the way.
Moisture and curls are not friends.
We're rolling in the front of our hair
to create a little pin curl at the front,
securing with one pin at the bottom of the curl
and hiding the other pin under the overlying hair,
really trying to hide your pins.
I use matte pins so they don't shine and catch the light.
I highly recommend searching for those over anything else.
They may also be called blending hair grips.
(hairspray hissing)
Then we grab our lovely silky scarf.
For this particular look, we need quite a small scarf
and something thin as we'll be tying it
under our hair as the headband and it flops down.
I'll link to a couple of options in a pinned comment below
and you can also find them on my Amazon storefront.
(lively music)
Number two, the world's easiest fancy bun.
Okay, I completely set myself up
by calling this the world's easiest fancy bun
but you'll see what I mean soon.
This really is quite a neat way to put your hair up
once you've learned the trick, and it's actually good
for your hair because it lessens breakages.
Start by sectioning off a front part.
This will be your fringe.
Then we're going to put the rest of our hair up.
And I do this by separating my hair
and doing it in sections.
Yes, every time I put my hair up, I do it in sections.
Why?
Because that way I make sure I'm actually getting all
of my hair lying flat from the roots.
Brush through, twist your hair around and back on itself.
And this is the important part,
using just a regular hairpin, pin at the front, the back
and the sides until you feel secure leaving the ends
of your hair at the back
because we will then be bringing them around
and use for decoration.
Why do I call this an easy bun?
Because once you've mastered it, you can get all
of your hair out of your face quickly, efficiently
and it only takes four hair pins,
three if your hair's shorter than mine.
For our front section, we're again making a curl
but really just following wherever the hair takes me.
(hairspray clicking) (hairspray hissing)
Now, what to decorate with? A huge flower?
Maybe.
Put it at the front for a statement piece,
but at the back is where I'd really decorate this bun.
Same with this very pretty bird clip.
Hot tip, add a hair grip underneath
so it doesn't slide down.
Hair flowers, these have grips for your hair or pins
for your clothes, so they're wonderfully versatile.
Again, check my Amazon storefront for these.
(lively music)
Number three, side twists.
This look really is all about the hair,
so make sure you've got some gorgeous hair oil
on there as well if you need it
to give your hair a little bit of shine.
This look I think works great whether you have straight hair
or curly hair and adds a little vintage touch.
If you have straight hair
and it doesn't hold pins particularly well,
I would advise spraying
in maybe a little bit of Kerastase's Fresh Affair,
their dry hair shampoo.
It just will add a tiny bit
of texture to your hair and really helps.
I mean, it's also great if you haven't washed your hair, so.
If you've ever done a French braid,
this is essentially the same thing.
You're picking up small parts
of your hair, one after another
but in this case, twisting rather than platting.
Secure at the back with a grip and one at the front.
(lively music)
Do the same on the other side.
As you can see, I have a side parting
and this look is particularly cute with a center parting,
so it can work for both.
(lively music)
I like to put some pretty matching grips on over the top
of the plain ones to really match my outfit.
(lively music)
So the hairstyles I'm showing you today are kind of quick,
I can do this in the morning ones.
They aren't the elaborate,
I'm going to spend five hours pin curling a poodle looks
that I might do for a wedding as a hairstyle.
I don't pin curl my dog.
She would not sit still that long.
As such, the most key feature is your hair
and what is my number one revolutionary tip
for gorgeous hair?
Find hair products designed for your specific hair type
and thankfully, Kerastase, my favorite haircare brand,
have a huge range of products
for different hair and different hair problems
that I cannot help but shout about.
Welcome to the advert.
Now, I love vintage waves, obviously,
and dying my hair.
This isn't my natural color, but it absolutely
is not great for my deeply thirsty wannabe hair.
But also if I don't dye my hair,
then it's not porous enough to hold a curl at all.
So we all make choices.
I mean, genuinely as a child,
I couldn't even make a hair pin stay in my hair.
It just fell out.
In particular, the Chroma Gloss,
which is an absolutely essential part
of my haircare routine.
If I miss that step, then my hair just isn't soft and shiny.
So this is a resurfacing,
high shine rinse treatment that kind of starts
as a fluid and then it becomes a cream
the more you rub it.
It penetrates deep into your hair
and it hydrates and it strengthens it
and it also seals cuticles.
So I had to use hotel shampoo and conditioner two weeks ago
and I could feel the crispiness of my hair
and I'm sorry, my love.
I will never again rush to pack and leave you at home.
I'm not the only one
in my household to have had my hair life transformed
by a Kerastase product though.
So my wife Claudia has a mix of different hair types,
like 2B, 2C, 3A, wavy on the top,
loose curls in the middle, and springy ringlets underneath.
And it is so important for her hair to have the right type
of shampoo and conditioner.
Anything that tries to add moisture
in the wrong way makes her hair just like puffy,
full of body.
I mean, I wish I had her natural body
but the Kerastase Elixir Ultime is just the thing for her.
Okay?
She only washes her hair every eight to nine days
but she puts a couple of pumps
of this on every morning to feed her thirsty hair
and somehow her hair just looks better
and better as the week goes on.
It is not fair.
Interestingly, in a mark
of just how different hair types can be,
I can only put two pumps of this
on my wet hair and then at some later point,
two mini pumps on my dry hair if needed.
But if I dare do any more than that, it is done.
But what if you don't know your hair type?
Well, not to worry, friend.
Kerastase have got you covered there too
with their handy online diagnose your hair quiz.
So whether you are struggling
with excessive hair fall, that's the Genesis range.
Your hair is too oily to handle,
that's the Divalent Balancing shampoo.
It's just a whole range that works for you.
Click the link in my description to take the quiz
for yourself and see which Kerastase range
is going to transform your hair.
Also, dry shampoo.
We talked about dry shampoo enough
because absolutely dry shampoo.
Dry shampoo for all.
You have dry shampoo, you have dry shampoo,
you have dry shampoo.
Everyone have a dry shampoo.
Number four, scarf up do.
Really hides those roots?
Whoop, let's get our silk scarf
and section off the front part of our hair.
Pull your hair up and try not to knock out your hearing aid.
My favorite option for tying your hair up in a way
that doesn't damage it
and is more versatile than pins is the spiral hair ring.
Doesn't get all pulled out
if you also wear it as a bracelet.
Yes, no judgment.
Pull your hair into a ponytail.
And then on the final pull,
don't allow your hair to come all the way through
but instead trap it into a lovely bushy bun.
Delightful.
Now let's get onto the main event,
the scarf that covers a multitude of sins.
Have you not washed it in a while?
Do you desperately need to get your roots done?
Did you sleep on this hair?
I now you're just putting a scarf on top of it
to make it look fresh.
(host chuckling) Unrelatable.
I know.
Definitely not something I've ever done.
(host clearing throat)
I have a full video on vintage scarves,
which you can click the card in the corner to watch
but this is a pretty simple tie.
You can leave the ends long
or give a little bow like this,
and that is because I'm going
to show you a fancy fringe.
Optional if you don't have the time.
A tiny bit of back combing,
roll your hair underneath and pin.
Yay.
(lively music)
And number five,
everything looks better with a bow on it.
No, seriously, everything does look better with a bow on it.
Even my toddler loves bow ties.
This is probably the most complex of the five
and thus why it's the last in the video.
Take a central section of your hair,
section that in half,
back comb the section at your crown and pin down.
(lively music)
Grab a section either side and do the same.
Use hairspray liberally.
How many times can I say section?
I know.
Don't worry about perfection.
It's going to get covered anyway.
(lively music)
(hairspray hissing)
(lively music continues)
(hairspray hissing)
Take that front part and pin down
to the bottom of your boosted section.
Then decide if you wanna put a bow in your hair
or a tiny bow, or forget that you named this hairstyle
everything's better with a bow,
and put a flower on it instead.
Thank you, Jessica
vecause you're already wearing a crossover tie,
which is remarkably like a bow
because I really like both and I wear them every day.
The ends of this hair
will fall over your back combed section
and there we have it.
I love this look for being a little glam in the mornings.
