100 Years of Hair Styling Tools | Allure

[@SLilley-jd8rj]

This just became an ad when it got to 2010s

[@happyfacefries]

The probably literally are. Brands pay people like Allure, Cosmo, etc. to showcase their products

[@minzy5857]

Came here to say this! Got to the end of the video and thought, “oh, I’m watching a commercial now! tricky stuff, Allure!”

[@RosaRodriguez-kz9tz]

@J .S wtf are you talking about??? Aleast with straight hair you can do more different hairstyles unlike curly hair.! But curly hair is cute. But I rather stick with my natrural straight hair! BTW it isn't boring

[@RosaRodriguez-kz9tz]

Lol yea

I liked now ur likes are 999

[@Famegonna9999]

You did the sixties and seventies and didn't mention afros

[@dwils1994]

I noticed that too. Maybe it was because they're focusing mainly on styling tools? All you really need to style an afro is a good pick. Idk tho.

[@ht1ps555]

True but I guess they where just focused on the tools for hair.

[@sam7r4833]

afros doesn't need heat styling tools i guess

[@crhartilsitfifan]

@@sam7r4833 well it can be achieved without it but a blow out required heat and a pick.

👁️

[@Yoachan]

How do you go through the 40s and 50s and not mention pincurls?

[@foreverdead1248]

Because it has nothing to do with the hairstyles and everything to do with the hair tools

[@Kubulek17]

FoxyWhite they mention bobby pins but not pins for pin curls

[@Hevynly1]

@@foreverdead1248 There were tools to make pincurls, such as the Pro-Curler.

[@jujubee463]

Or how women styled their hair to work in the factories? My grandmother was a Rosie Riveter, and I have pictures of her and her friends with their hair wrapped up.

[@billythecat7169]

Maybe they forgot..?

[@nellyf7848]

That is honestly some of the worst vintage hairstyling I have ever seen, I wish for a hair centered video they had put more work into the authenticity and overall appearance of the looks

[@beargio]

Nelly F agree !! The 80’s were really big hair with curls and strong highlight ( fancy colors ) not really a good representation

[@darktalesmystic]

None of their videos are very accurate lmao

[@Mashkablue1]

Completely agree. There are so many authenticity issues with each decade they covered.

[@desireepetitdemurat8660]

I completely agree with you, the 1920s part is terrible, and the one for the forties is frankly ridiculous.

[@RandeT73]

Totally agreed. A quick Google search would have given them a bit better info.

[@achanwahn]

Rag curls have been around for about 2500 years, but yeah, we'll attribute that to the 1930s...

[@babydoll004]

You know these are just styling tools, not hair styles....

[@Jill_of_trades]

Evidence?

[@Poptarts123ism]

I guess you could say that's when they got super popular again.

[@TheGabygael]

@@babydoll004 that's what they meant, rag curls as in the action of putting rags into you hair to have ringlets

[@TheGabygael]

Also bobby pin wherent used for gibson hair because they were only commercialised in the 20s for *bobs* because they're *Bobby* pins to style your *bob* hence the name

wow the quality of these videos have REALLLLY gone down hill, its almost embarrassing looking at how much they skipped over and how inaccurate allot of these are.

[@isabellalouise212]

Gibson girls in the 1920s? Lmao Where are the pin curls?? The victory rolls?? Love the inaccuracy in this and all the other “100 years of...” videos

[@candeladiaz3107]

Isabella Caddy The roll the girl had on the 1940s recreation is SO PAINFUL to watch

[@isabellalouise212]

Candela Díaz I had to pause the video for a second to mourn

[@foreverdead1248]

In a video about hairstyles, not a video about styling tools

[@isabellalouise212]

@@foreverdead1248 If only! haha The hair videos are even worse though, and the styling tools are for the hairstyles. Pin curls are a styling tool, the only hairstyle I mentioned was the victory rolls. Just as Mervin clips were the base for finger waves, pin curls were the base for so many vintage hairstyles. It's just sad that they weren't even mentioned, despite their use throughout decades.

[@isabellalouise212]

Hawaa Sarwary as per said in my above comment: “the styling tools are used for the hairstyles” these iconic styles were shaped by the tools, such as the mervin clips or pincurls-thick clips, even rag curls. (which, I was glad to see, but again, wrong time period) This was the norm for many women for decades, and although it’s not as popular anymore, people still use them. It just seems odd that they weren’t even mentioned. You’d be hard-pressed to find any of these items in the average person’s home.

[@historicalfashion1514]

The Gibson girls were not in the 1920s!

I love that as soon as it got to 2010 it became an ad lol

[@breadgirlie5730]

[@jacindabezaldo5714]

Gibson Girls were in the 1910s. No mention of marcel irons? The hairstyles in this video are historically inaccurate and frankly look downright awful. If you're making an informative video, at least get the facts straight.

[@shellseathemermaid3838]

THANK YOU

[@Soprie]

Yes, as someone who studied fashion history, these videos are so bothersome. 40's didn't even cover victory rolls, and the 70s haircut had NO layers. That wasnt farah's hair at all

Guys some constructive criticism, this video seems very lazy.

[@mooka415]

Angela Dorau how?

[@ananyasahay]

How

[@LPSWeirdCow13]

That's not really constructive criticism but okay

[@adorau88]

LPSWeirdCow13 Okay. You’re actually right. Here is some constructive criticism: This video topic really peaked my interest and the idea behind it was great. I do think however due to some historical inaccuracies that the execution comes off a little lazy, in my opinion. Ultimately my singular opinion does not matter and many will disagree, but as a subscriber and a fan I thought letting you know my opinion through constructive criticism might help you improve your videos in the future. I am still a subscriber and I still likes the video.

[@audreymalerich4290]

I just want to know why they didn’t hire an actual retro hairstylist many of the looks are inaccurate, for example foam rollers from the 60/70’s leave the hair in very tight curls.

[@jlinsky]

I get how Allure wants to keep these cheap and clickbait-y, but there are amateur vintage hair and makeup KZbin videos done at a fraction of Allure’s budget that are far more historically accurate and fun to watch

[@hippyelise1]

My Mom in the 80's used to make me rag curlers! My baby sister hated them and had pink sponge ones...love it :-)

[@dumpstercub2902]

The 2000's were basically what would happen if Florida decided to take over all of American and Canadian, Australian, some European and Some Asian fashion for an entire decade.

[@cadaver6665]

The Gibson girl hair was totally gone by the 1920's! First you talk about the bob and then change it into the breadloaf hair. And that didn't look correct in any way. It's supposed to be smooth and symmetrical with only a few strands PULLED out if one wishes to. But in the 1920's women either cut their hair SHORT or pinned it to look like a bob. Wtf is that 40's hair too.

[@budahbitch]

Might be the models hair causing issue too. Not all hair can hold the styles and I'm sure the stylist didnt get a model choice or they wouldnt have used them.

[@rebeccaartemisia96]

Lillian Ghoul Gibson girl hairstyle it's not so difficult to achieve, you can even search for KZbin tutorials and do it by yourself. Rag curls aren't difficult either, but you have to have them at least for 4 hours or until they completely dry because you have to apply them on damp hair. Women used to sleep with they rag curls or hair curlers on, so in the morning the they had they curls ready

Your text scrolls by WAY too fast. I am not a slow reader by any means, but I cant see the style and read the text. Your editor needs to slow down the speed like 25% especially for the 2000s/2010s.

Okay that sounded rude but I get annoyed with super slow videos and fast forwarding to the next part is difficult while it's easier to simply pause. I'm sorry :)

[@slvrangel22]

I teach reading and thought it was a bit too quick. You want to be able to read the text and then actually see what the individuals in the video are doing. They could have put up the text and have the models like frozen for a second and then proceed. Give the viewer enough time to read and then watch the models in action. There were also a few spots with unnecessary text and that could have been more concise.

Bobby pins are a variation of traditional hair pins, designed to hold back part of a short hairstyle. There was a trend for short hairstyles in the 1920s. "Gibson Girl" hairstyles and other long-hair updos were (and are) achieved using traditional hair pins. The traditional U-shape hair pin is so old it has no recorded inventor.
