[@rolom3]

Would love to see some 30s content, I feel like the 20s gets so much attention since it's the jazz age and the 40s also does because of WWII and the swing era. But ppl don't really get the 30s... for example how did the style transition from no waist to small waist. The hairstyles too!

[@annicat648]

Especially because the early 30s seemed really wild in the Weimar Republic.

[@eleanor_disintegrated1141]

@A C it was really wild because it wasn’t the Weimar Republic anymore. Weimar Republic was mostly just the 20s, and for a while (before the Wall Street crash, 1929) it was actually pretty chill. But then the depression happened, and hitler used that, so the 30s was just straight up hitler. (So technically the Weimar Republic ended in 1933. Shit went down that year.) lol sorry if this was annoying or you knew this already, I just had to

[@eleanor_disintegrated1141]

@A C but yeah the 30s were w i l d right?? super interesting

[@annicat648]

@@eleanor_disintegrated1141 Oh, true, it's coming back to me now. It was definitely still a wild time, just for different reasons I guess. As much as the depression is a really difficult and sad era, I find it interesting the resourcefulness and creativity that was incorporated into fashion.

[@eleanor_disintegrated1141]

A C absolutely, yeah. Must have been horrible, but it’s really interesting how people reacted to it. I know a lot about hitler’s rise to power since I have to study it for school - however, I don’t know much about the fashions. Would love to see karolina do a video about it

[@annahill99]

Exactly... this is why as a girl with curls all in the 3 range I never really try vintage hair styles, lol. It's ironic that most vintage hairstyles require straight hair to be curled, but don't look right with natural curls, which means if you have naturally textured hair you gotta go the extra mile of blowing it out THEN curling it THEN styling it. It's kind of depressing

I used to twist my sides down like your last suggestion & clip it or put the bottom in a low pony. Loved the simple upscale look in just minutes. But def can’t lay down & keep it looking fabulous. Lol. Thank you.

[@JasonLeeIsAGod]

Wow...I haven't thought about anyone "setting" their hair in ages! My great-grandmother used to set her short hair in a ton of pin curls with Dippity Do on all of them. She'd wrap a do-rag around it & in the morning pull it all out & somehow floof it up & make it look good. I was always amazed how she did it & how so many Shirley Temple-like ringlets turned into a good looking hairdo.

[@berlineczka]

One possible solution (which I tried on my lazy ass wrt skincare, esp. skinmasks) is not to wait till midnight with your evening toilletries. Do it at 8 or 9 p.m. and do some other things you do before sleep (like watching a series or doing things on the Internet) already in your evening attire. It still doesn't work for me all the time, but it works more often than it used to.

[@taritangeo4948]

@@FloralAndFire she admits right in the video tha she heatstyles it from time to time, thats not really as little as possible.Well, I mean unless you compare to peeps that actually iron daily and change hair color bi-weekly.

[@sarysa]

This video (especially the early parts) reminded me of my grandmother, who was at her fashion peak in the 40s and early 50s. These vaguely resemble some of her earlier photos, but she eventually switched to permanents. (which I remembered oddly when you said "too lazy to set") This video resonates with me because through her, I always associated the 40s with those harsh permanents that not only had an awful scent (that could also seep into wallpaper, permanently affecting a room's atmosphere), but could actually result in *hair loss* if applied improperly. I was turned off from that decade's realities due to those factors. Seeing such elegant hairstyles done with no pre-prep or even chemicals is kind of literally a breath of fresh air.

I have absolutely no interest in vintage fashion, hairdos or makeup but I’m thoroughly enjoying your videos😂 I’m a history grad though and because of that I appreciate that you oftentimes show what the working class women used to wear and what the historical context was for various styles of women’s clothing, the practical aspects of fashion and the everyday lives of the women who wore them. Great content!

Real question, how to have a vintage hairstyle with real thin hair xDD Like I look at you and my hair is like.. 1/10 of your hair xD I mean its still interesting to watch tho

You can try back combing or hairpieces ☺️ You know, those flat ones that are attached by little clips - it needs some practice but can work wonders! And if not, there are always wigs - @neciashairstyling on Instagram is a vintage wig magician 🎩

[@emiliah2853]

Honestly I feel like doing vintage hairstyles is sometimes easier with a bit thinner hair... I've got thick hair that is impossible to backcomb and doesn't hold curls so I just can't get it to work )':

I really like to use a bit of dry shampoo, it somehow makes the hair more thick and easier to backcomb. :)
