Automated HAIR CRIMPER! 80s are back?!

[@andemaiar]

20 minutes is not a long time for a crimping look like that! Back in the day we used to have to wait half an hour for the crimper to warm up, get a friend, sit down on the floor and get our hair crimped, one clamp at a time. My hair would take probably an hour. Then I'd have to do my friends' hair. Crimping was an afternoon commitment. This seems like a pretty cool tool. Wish it was around 20+ years ago!

[@ceebee1461]

andemaiar i was just thinking that. My mum once made the mistake of saying she’d crimp mine and my friends hair for one of my birthday sleepovers when I was younger. My poor mum was crimping heads for legit 4/5 hours. She vowed never to pick up that thing ever again after that day 😂

[@sherlock1129]

Truth!

[@lonnaproctor9547]

I remember those days ,just as you described!!

[@oliviarogersslayden3514]

The maker of this crimper would have made millions with this in the 80s! We used to spend at least an hour crimping back then.

[@ashleyheather5046]

that seems so fun but a lot of work😭

[@poppyfortea]

I bought a tiny crimper earlier this year, and I've been using it for my roots only, and on the underside of my hair. I get amazing volume on my super fine and thin hair, and it's great for getting more grip and volume for updos.

[@rubygregory1992]

I do the same with my baby crimper! It’s the only way to get volume with my thin hair.

[@josieperez1110]

There is root spray that works better!!

[@gheetolentino4038]

Its what i do too. It gives volume without teasing the hair

[@karenferrara]

I didn’t even see this and just wrote the same thing.😀

[@tanjabastigkeit2078]

In the late 80's this style was high fashion. I had the old crimper and this tool today make this look so fast and easy. My 13 year old me is jealous 😉

[@jenl.9980]

I agree! I had the old crimper tool that you had to hold and squeeze on each section. I only wish it only took 20 minutes! LOL.

[@jaqulinerathbone296]

Tanja...I'm 48 and remember when this style became fashionable in the early 80s crimping irons were only available in hair salons and it was £2.50 to get hair crimped, which was a lot in 1982 , I never watched my hair for 3 weeks afterwards to keep the style 😃

[@80sfreak14]

@@jaqulinerathbone296 would it not get frizzy by the 3rd week? Or did you have a way to preserve it. Whenever I crimp my hair I have to wash it after a week because it just looks like a dead tree by the 7th day

[@jaqulinerathbone296]

@@80sfreak14 hi i just ran some serum through it for black hair {im white though}, it was rose oil and it would put it back into the crimped zigzags again, my hair is fine but i loved how thick it looked from the crimper, i rember lots of girls in 80s had permed hair and would come in with it in a bun where it was all frizzy from sleeping and theyd rushed to school and on 1st break lots would stick their head under the tap in the toilets to put curls back in but be walking about with wet hair all day.

[@juliaguzman5132]

I think your hair looks great. Your just not used to the look. It gave you a lot of volume. You will gain more experience with time and the time it takes will become less. 5 out 5 stars. Beautiful

[@festivelady826]

I LOVED watching you do this! I think it looks fab! 98% of my 65 years, I've had a short pixie. My hair is now your length (it took me 3 years to grow it out). I've never crimped mine, but I love it on you. You are so talented with hair!!!

[@andie83]

Well I think it looks good and 20min is GREAT for crimping, I want it, I'm sold!

[@pkirkey6932]

70-ish granny here. Thinning hair is a fact of life at my age. I have long, fine thin hair. I can crimp all my hair in less than 20 minutes. The crimps last 3 or 4 days. Crimped hair holds fancy braids and chignons far better than uncrimped hair. I use a heat protectant first. I love mine.

[@jamielynn217]

I crimp my hair at least once a week and this thing is a game-changer for me. Took less than 10 mins yesterday when it usually takes me 30 mins with my regular crimping iron!

[@Fyrn33]

Could you crimp under top layer of hair only near roots to add volume for thin hair?

[@jeng254]

It actually look cute on you. Doesn’t look dry but probably looks different in person. Love your videos!

[@Montse3070]

Omg...I use to crimp my hair all the time.... stated by plating my hair in 80 or 100 plats! 20mins is not that long are all.... this tool is amazing how it rolls your hair thru!!!!!!

[@lilliegraham1088]

That is really satisfying, because I used to have a normal crimping iron and it took forever.

Looks great! also makes super voluminous braids

[@lagatita1623]

I have a pic of myself from 1992 rocking crimped hair! I think its cute on many people. Still like it better than stick straight grungy look. The automatic crimper is awesome.

Love the come-back of crimping! 🤩 Looks great on you!

[@karenferrara]

I just bought the mini bed head crimper as a dupe for voloom which is 120$ I paid 12 $ with some sort of promo. I love it !! Use it on the under hair just like voloom Yesterday wore it down looked great, today an updo so puffy, right now it’s down, again phenomenal volume. As a reference I have fine soft silky hair, very hard to keep a curl. Best 12 bucks I’ve spent on a hair tool in a longtime. And I’ve spent a fortune on hair tools lately because I’m wearing my hair longer since quarantine I haven’t had it long since I used to wear it feathered like Farrah faucet, I’d been a Lisa Rinna style for as long as she has been. No more, I’m now a long haired old lady ..there was a bright side to lock down.

[@amyleighxoxo]

Omg I love the look! I think it’s just because you have a middle part that you didn’t like the look

[@consciouscommunity3897]

Mila you could crimp the underside and flat iron the top dude and you’d have crazy volume! I have very flat hair. It would give me volume.

[@shellbellexx3]

Maybe it’s because I grew up in the late 80’s and have a deep love for that decade but I love the look of crimped hair. I love it on you as well. I used to have a Conair crimper set that had a bunch of different, interchangeable plates : a small crimper, a larger crimper, a heart, a star and a circle that would leave imprints in your hair it came as a set with a curling iron that had removable barrels and each barrel was different. It had a triangle, one that made these awesome hybrid curls ( was my favorite) a spiral barrel and several sized barrels to make tiny to huge curls and if my memory is right it also has a tapered barrel that back then I never used. I loved those 2 tools. I got it for Christmas in 88 and had it until it finally died somewhere around 2004. My mom said she paid like $20-$25 for the entire set. I would pay 4 times that to have that set again.

[@stephanaeon]

Have you checked Amazon? I've seen some curlers with like 5 or 6 swappable barrels and also the crimper tbag has different plates too

[@stephanaeon]

Conair impressions is one with the star heart plates but I can only find it by itself

Looks fun

[@alyssaduong6485]

I have extremely long hair so crimping it looks nice on me, and I also think it looks great on you!

[@Siouxz84]

Just for reference you can use it with the Ion logo up. Look at how you’re holding it on the second half of your head, and with that in mind just do the reverse on the other side with the logo up. If that is not clear, don’t hold the handles toward the front on the first side, hold them toward the back like you did the second side, then on the second side hold the handles toward your face. Idk the exact names of the parts for reference, but I hope that helps.

[@milenadjordjevic7305]

I need volume, so it would do the job for me...if I have no idea what to do with my hear, a braid or two along with this....I would try it. Thanks!

[@EileenHagerman]

I think some good alternate applications for this tool would be to either just crimp the under layers of your hair for added volume or crimping a few random sections here and there as part of a more complex teased-up, big-hair look.

[@MartiDeBord]

This is perfect for cosmetologists who use crimpers for updos. Such a time saver.

My hair needs a break in the winter and I'm going to try use it this way more often. I wonder if there are any tips for drying with cool air vs with heat.

[@xChaosReignsx]

Thanks for the video! I just received the same one... i love crimpers but definitely used to the traditional 90’s ones - if i had not watched your video i would have not known the correct way to hold this iron because the instructions really don’t tell you much (like you said) - you probably know this already but if you do not necessarily like the “crimped” look but have fine hair/want more body etc. if you crimp your hair fully than go to sleep on it, i notice that the crimps are pretty much gone but my hair is super full and textured 🙃 xx

[@stupor_mundi]

This is really cool 💖 I only wish you could reverse the direction of the rotation to make it more convenient on the opposite side. There are many cool hairstyles, updos and braids that incorporate little sections of really defined crimped hair like interesting accents of texture, and they look up to date and fantastic rather than having the entire hair crimped. You could show us some of those hair styles and braids interweaved with crimped sections, they are so pretty 😍

[@jamielynn217]

stupor mundi I have this, all you have to do is flip it over for the opposite side. One side you do window up, and the other window down!
