Heyy, it's your grandma
So here's like a simple grandma tutorial
You just need to put your rollers in
and that's kind of it, thanks for watching and see you next time
For real tho, this video is gonna be in Polish, so switch the subtitles on
You'll manage, you can do it, like, reading is not that hard ok
Hi and welcome to
this video.
This video was made with the help of the Znak publishing company,
which is about to publish this little book
It's about Hedy Lamarr, it's called "All The Lives of Hedy Lamarr" (Polish title)
Wow, how incredible, I wonder what else it could be about
It's a fiction novel based on Hedy Lamarr's life
The book is out on the 28th or 30th of Jan
Link in the description, I think it's worth getting
So if you're interested in Hedy, who was
if you didn't know that yet, she was not only and actress, but an *inventress*
Inventress? Is there such thing?
And her inventions helped-
Let's say she made later inventors and engineers
lives easier, when they were working on the wi-fi.
She's quite a unique Hollywood persona I would say
Apart from this, her life story
is quite fascinating, so
Wow. Promotion level Karolina.
That is why today we'll try a Hedy Lamarr hairstyle.
Because why not.
Hedy Lamarr had this very distinct hairstyle
Because throughout most of her career
she wore a middle parting.
It's interesting, because in the 40s and 50s,
also the 30s were all eras where side-parting was just as fashionable
So the fact that she held on to this middle parting
and she's wearing it almost in every movie she was in, on every photograph
is quite remarkable.
That is why to recreate such a hairstyle
You need to do a middle parting
If you're not sure how to set your hair
I have a separate video showing that so
check it out in the description below
And if you don't speak Polish and are reading the subtitles right now
This book was actually published in English, as well as other languages I think
and became a New York Times bestseller
so I'll link it in the description, why not.
So if you don't know how to set the hair, what to use etc
there's the other video discussing that
Now I'm showing you this curled head
The key is to make it symmetrical, ladies and gents
So these rollers here are perfectly symmetrical,
not crooked AT ALL, right
So these rollers, especially at front, should be symmetrical
and rolled this direction.
The back should be symmetrical too,
but life verified that
I mean, it's not symmetrical
But, you know what, life's not symmetrical
Ok, let's try, we'll see what happens
The front is the most important for me, because it's very specific for Hedy's hairstyle
I mean this slightly swept up front with those
FrOnT WaVeS
By the way, here's a pro tip, if you make those curls in front
and you'll have a bun or an updo at the back,
you'll get a Jane Austen right there, hehehe
But that's not what we're doing today, back to the 30s and 40s
I must say I admire Hedy's outfits,
I know those are not her choices, because back in the day
styling stars worked a bit differently, but her outfits are STUNNING
DAMN, I mean, if I had a prom, I would 100% wear this
If you're wondering why I'm doing this Hedy look with my glasses on
That's because my lenses have died, I mean, they're slightly expired
And despite trying to wear them still and trying to convince myself they're ok
My eyes are actually dry and I don't want some kind of amebae in it, so it's safer to just wear my glasses
When the time comes I'll just take them off ok
So far it's kind of Shirley Temple, this style is like a combo,
You get Jane Austen, Shirley Temple and Hedy Lamarr in one
Okey dokey *dies inside*
When it comes to the brushout, since the video I mentioned that I'll link in the description,
I improved a bit, I mean I'm starting from the very bottom now
But also my hair has changed, it's not as tangly as it was before
and it's easier to just brush through them
So what are we actually doing right now?
We need to brush the curls so we get rid of this fluff,
I mean right after you take the rollers off it can be a bit crazy
And that's not what we want, it would be nice to have some waves here and there
Not like glamour Hollywood waves, because
the rollers are too small for that
So the curls will be small, but then when you have a look at Hedy's hair
it often a hot mess, I mean the front is nicely done
but the bottom is kind of fluffy
Unfortunately, what's typical for this hairstyle is that it's easy to
end up looking like Severus Snape
And also these vintage style sets
usually require a good 20 mins brushout
I mean, if you give up to early
you'll end up with a fluff ball, or sometimes
with loose curls, sometimes what happens is
right after you brush through the curls, their not really there
but after you brush it hehe 150 TIMES
the curls are eventually there
Because what happens is the hair is bended in all those directions
and they need to bounce into the right place together
and this is what I'm working on... at the moment
Oh, look, it's bounced here
And here it just won't
I'm gonna ruin it anyway by brushing it back
The thing about my hair is that
it's cut in a specific 1940s style way
It's shorter in front and longer at the back,
that's why you get this nice shape
If your hair is not cut this way, it could look a bit different.
It's always like this, one side's perfect and the other sucks, right?
Be it an eyeliner, eyeshadow
Or hair, one side is always worse. What did Hedy's hair look like?
Eh, it's asymmetrical too, why would I care
I took my glasses off to look more like Hedy, but now I can't see what I look like, so it's pointless
And this is a simple way to look like Hedy Lamarr
Just curl your hair and pin it up, amirite
Just to remind you, if Hedy Lamarr sparked your interest, or if you've heard about her before
and were interested in her life, this book is coming out at the end of Jan
Well excuse me, what do you have to say about the book? Do you recommend?
Don't shake the camera, dummy, don't jump
Wow, you're looking at me like I'm a moron, have you never seen someone pointing at the description
Thank you, I hope if you planned to dress up as
Hedy during this carnival season, this tutorial was helpful
In other cases, I hope you didn't get bored
And I have to confess I haven't had breakfast yet
and I'm freaking starving, so sorry
but see you sometime else.
