hi
wow i'm actually making a video
that is
incredible because the last time i spoke
to you was like
oh my god i'm going to have to kill the
pirates
shut up i honestly don't know what's
wrong with these thirds because they
were literally silent
until like the moment i pressed the
record button so they kind of know
that something's going on here yeah
anyway you might remember that the last
time i spoke to was like an uh exactly a
year ago or maybe a bit less yeah so
here we are today and um i thought maybe
you would like to know what i think
makes a very
authentic vintage hairstyle because i've
seen lots of girls wearing really cool
like vintage clothes but they didn't
really know how to do their hair and i'm
not saying i do because i clearly don't
but i've noticed super pros doing it
right and i kind of know
what
effect people should be going for but i
don't really know yet how to achieve it
so this is not going to be a tutorial of
of any kind i'm just going to kind of um
point out some things that i think are
important in making vintage her steps
the period i'm talking about is like 19
well let's say 20s to to the end of 40s
to the beginning of 50s let's say i'm
kind of talking about that vintage
style
um which i think is like between 20s and
50s okay so firstly i think this is the
most important thing is
you have to curl your hair i mean you
can achieve some of the vintage
hairstyles without curling your hair
but there is always going to be a
difference because women back then
always
curled their hair and they didn't
necessarily use
like curling irons but they basically
did like they set their hair
la la hurl throughout the night or
throughout the day so they basically
would walk around with those stupid like
curls
um pin curls usually
oh my god
i broke something in order to achieve
some like really complicated hairstyles
so you have to curl your hair if a
woman's hair were not curled
she would usually hide them underneath a
scarf or a really elaborate hat or a
turban this is what kind of stands out
the most because you can clearly see it
so basically what i advise you to do if
you're going for a really authentic look
is set your hair in
pin curls for
buttercloth so many hours in this video
i think i think this is like the
essential thing even if you're doing a
style where you think well you you won't
be able to see it anyway like how can
you tell that i haven't actually done
anything to my hair
but you can clearly see that because if
you curl your hair it's going to to like
move in a completely different way so if
you for example if you're going for a
victory rolls look it's going to look
completely different and we're
completely different if your hair has
been curled before because it's just
going to be much easier to get that to
get it in in a certain shape just go
google or like search on youtube some
some pin curl set videos or i don't know
you can use
rollers you can use hot rollers you can
use like foam rollers there's so much
stuff that you can use to achieve that
look and it's really not that difficult
i mean
well maybe it is the first couple of
times but when you get used to it it's
like kind of really simple and sometimes
i'm really too lazy to to like curl my
hair and i'm trying to say that by you
know
doing some other stuff that i think
might cover the fact that my hair is
straight but it still looks
bad
that's that's my cat trying to get in so
i better leave so many animals in this
house
the second thing is the texture the
hairstyles like hairstyles why am i
pronouncing it that way oh my god
because
hairstyles back then they had a
completely different texture it's kind
of hard to explain what the texture is
but you can clearly see that if you look
at like old photographs or movies that
hair
looked different and it's also because
women used to wash them in a different
way they wouldn't use like
usual shampoos they would usually like
uh wash their hair with like a
soap or something and then they would
brush it in a different way with a
different brush and everything so it's
like we would probably never be able to
achieve the same look unless we really
followed all of these rules closely but
it's something to think about so if you
find a way to achieve a
you know a certain texture then i would
say go for it because it looks pretty
cool okay the third thing is
that's my cat are you done so the third
thing is
the hair looking messy so for example if
you have 1930s hairstyles which are some
of them are really frizzy so this is
something that you can't really achieve
if you don't know how so you can't
really go for a messy look
thinking if you just the messy hair it
will look right because women back then
did certain things to achieve the messy
look but it wasn't actually messy it
just looked messy but it was very
elaborate and very precise so if you're
going for an authentic look never use
shortcuts like never go for
your own solutions because we don't know
how to do it and you really should trust
some experts that that invented the
techniques back then because they
clearly knew how to do it if you get a
hair right
basically oh my god can you stop walking
on these bags you're making noise the
truth is if you get your hair right and
your outfit is kind of let's say
average your whole look is going to go
way up because for some reason the most
important aspect of well i i'd say one
of the most important aspects of your
um vintage look is your hair so if you
get your hair if you nail your hair you
most likely would also nail your outfit
with that because if you get like let's
say an average looking h m blouse like
the one i'm wearing today your hair is
going to make it look vintage even
though it's not if it kind of resembles
what women wore back then your hair can
make it look vintage it really works
like that it also works the other way
around so if you have a really cool
vintage piece of clothing but you wear
straight hair as i've seen so many times
on instagram i was like why why are you
wasting an opportunity to look really
cool just because you didn't have time
to set your hair i mean obviously i
don't i kind of understand that because
i'm too lazy to to set my hair every
night i do it like once a week if i if i
have time but it's also such a waste you
know so what also makes vintage
hairstyles um authentic at least to me
it's like headwear and headpieces that
you wear and you attach to to your um
head
you know flowers
headpieces
cool hats turbans scarves spouts you
know all kind of decoration it not only
helps you look authentic but also it
kind of helps if you're having
a problem let's say there are some
places on your head that you wouldn't
want people to see like you know bobby
pins sticking out it it happens if you
have that problem head pieces or like
headwear is a really good idea to hide
that and still look cool another thing i
kind of lost count but i think it is
number four
or five but it is about bobby pins so
basically of course you're allowed to
use bobby pins because that's what women
did back then but please don't show it
it's really difficult i know and it's
also really important to to actually
hide your bobby pins i'm not really good
at doing that as you may have noticed
because you can kind of see them up
sticking out in the front but hiding
your bobby pins is a really good way to
achieve like the offense often often
i'll just write it on screen
off your hair
i can't really see if i'm still in the
frame because i had to remove my glasses
so that you wouldn't be able to see
this thing reflecting in them
i just noticed my hair is totally uneven
and by the way
here is a good thing about vintage
hairstyles and that is if you do it very
well and if you spray it properly it
will probably last like three days
and i'm not kidding you like if you
don't brush it every single night if you
just sleep in it as i do which is
probably not very good for your hair but
it's good for your hairstyle it will
last for like three days i basically
made it yesterday
morning
and then i slept in it and it's still
there
i think i forgot to mention to you guys
what i'm doing right now and where i am
like okay now i'm in my room but
generally speaking i'm like in scotland
starting film so that's pretty cool and
that was partly my decision after seeing
like the crazy success of the
beautiful through the decades film so
basically i'm studying in scotland which
doesn't make it easy to to film anything
because i'm kind of well i wouldn't say
i'm that busy but
my head is focused on other stuff rather
than than youtube which i'm not really
focused on anyway
at any time i was thinking maybe it
would be nice to actually start filming
stuff more regularly playing really oh
so many art well i hope you liked this
one which was kind of chaotic because i
don't really prefer myself
i was more like trying to come up with
stuff during filming which made it very
difficult because i'm not a very fast
thinking person so um i hope you enjoyed
it and i wouldn't say subscribe because
i don't really care but um watch the
next video if it ever appears on this
stupid channel um
yeah okay that's it bye
