Comparing Similarities and Differences of Vintage Hair from the 1930s 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s

[@meihwadeclerk3147]

Why did it take so long for YT to recommend me your channel?! I greatly enjoy your content and smile. Your videos are well done and your explanations are easy to understand in additions to the video. Looking forward to more of your videos!!

[@Timetravel1111]

Yeah, why did KZbin K so long to recommend this? I’m watching vintage hair tutorials all the time I’m usually doing 1940s or 50s on a regular basis wetset rollers. Or watching some new way to do victory roll style. 😂

This is a fantastic video extremely informative! I notice all the time that many styles overlap the decades and I thought it was normal. I mean even from the 80s to the 90s there is some overlap in hairstyles. I remember those days!!! Also, I just wanted to say how happy your video made me when I saw the magazine with the black stylist and model. To see pictures of relaxed hair being styled back then are so close to never to be found! It has always been a mystery to me how stylists worked back then with that particular hair texture to create all those styles. THANK YOU for this little snippet you included in the video. I am so glad to finally see something!!! I have been in the lookout of magazines just to see how they did it back then!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I am now curious about how stylists worked with sleek hair textures like the Asian girl in the same mag. I am so thrilled with the pictures honestly thank you!!!

I had a friend who, like me, was in the high school graduating class of 1979. The “Farah Fawcett “(RIP) was THE hairstyle! If you were to go through my yearbook you'd see that at least 50-60 percent of the girls had the tight flip, hair parted in the middle, razor straight. My friend Beth was no exception; she kept that flip right on thru to the ‘90s, I kid you not..

I want to go back. Wayyy way back. Before all of this. To all of that. We missed something. A turn or a step. Let’s give it another try.

[@sincerlylife]

My grandma told me that’s what the rolls were called - “victory rolls”… I asked her when I was twelve if she knew how to do the hair style that looked like cream horns, LOL 😂 She used to put her hair in pin curls using what we called “snaps” at least twice a week… I loved watching her, and I have her snaps somewhere.

[@Teddykins]

Love the video. As an apprentice in the early 70s we were still being taught all the old fashion ways as a good base for hairdressing which has also stood me in good sted for my friends wanting vintage hairstyles. My mother use to have a perm called Eugene Brush Wave !!!

[@LaurenRennells]

Thanks for sharing!

[@indiabatson26]

Would victory rolls ever be seen I n the 30’s? Or 40’s only? Thank you (:

[@LaurenRennells]

Women wore small rolls sometimes in the late 1930s that were similar to what we call a victory rolls today, but they were smaller in diameter.

[@ampersandranch]

Oh trust me, Victor Vito, I can do *even less* to my hairstyle! //throws it all in a ponytail for the eleventy-billionth time//

[@2Hearts3]

Great video! Very interesting. I'm looking for info on achieving the hairstyle Judy Garland wore in her tv show (early episodes, I think). Short on top and sides, fuller at nape of neck, and upswept. Very pretty.

[@luckygirllife]

You win me as a follower by saying people make assumptions 😂 I’m here for the dry jabs ❤

[@geperstekop]

so informative and nicely presented, this will for sure help me to try a 50's or '60 hairstyle as a beginner :)

[@TheGabygael]

There's a diagram on Pinterest that makes me cringe everytime i see it that puts two 20s styles in the 20s and 30s that puts a 40s style in the 50s and has a 60s bouffant for the 70s

[@ArcherOO78]

I'd love for you to do a video on men's hairstyles from the 1920's to the 1950s . I love your 1950's look very authentic and not a todays version

[@LaurenRennells]

Thank you! I'd love to do more about men's styles. I will need to get some help from a barber! 🙂

[@lindsaydiscovers9842]

I done understand how you only have 20k subscribers. That will change for sure. Your videos are fabulous.

More to come! 🌻

[@robertcarter3768]

This is my first video I have seen and I am subscribing. LOVED this, only wish you had mentioned the Rita Hayworth style that did bleed over into the 1950's and very popular. I can't wait to see what else I will learn from these wonderful videos.

[@bouffant-girl]

I am definitely a 1950's/ 1960's Short Permed Girl!!; and I loce Bubble Bouffant Hairdos and Bubble Perms. I would like to try some of the Winged Hairstyles, And Flips❤🎉😊

[@LaurenRennells]

Good to know!

[@helenasawvel]

I visited the National WWll Museum in New Orleans about a year ago. There was a display of popular items used during the war and I remember there was a box of bobby pins called “victory pins”. It was called that to boost morale for the war effort. Women would use the victory pins to pin in place their curls. So they would start to call them victory rolls because they used “victory pins”. That’s what I remember when I saw the display. I could be wrong but it seems pretty accurate as to how the term was coined.

[@LaurenRennells]

Thank you! I have been to the museum, but it has been 4 or 5 years. When I go back to NOLA, which is usually once a year, I will get over there and find that display! I actually have a pack of "Victory Pins" I found on Ebay many years ago. Here's where I blogged about them. www.vintagehairstyling.com/bobbypinblog/2013/04/victory-pins-by-the-smith-victory-corp-buffalo-n-y.html

I'm in a 1930s depression era play. I was hoping to include some "v" rolls with a bumper bang. Would this be appropriate? I watched your video and read a bunch of Internet stuff, but and still not sure. For reference i have coarse, long, curly hair. Not really sure what i can do

[@LaurenRennells]

Rolls with a bumper bang combo would be a little later than the 1930s. One or 2 small tube shaped rolls combined with piles of curls could be considered late 1930s. 🌼

[@bouffant-girl]

I Love Your Beautiful Vintage Style 😍 ❤🎉😊

[@LaurenRennells]

Thank you! 🤗

[@magpiewench]

Thanks so much for this video! I usually wet set my hair and do an early 40s inspired the first 2 days, and by day 4, it's brushed out into something 60s ish 🤣 I have slightly wavy, below shoulder length hair with long layers

[@LaurenRennells]

It's great that you can get so much out of a set. 😃

[@SewingBea3871]

I do this too!! I love how one wet set can last me almost a week!

[@natlexx28]

I like the way you say febuwary

[@roselyncampisi822]

I love your video! It is true hair styles have come a long way. I like to do differant styles for my hair

[@LaurenRennells]

Thank you! 😊 I'm so glad you like it!

[@ShannonTitchnell]

I love this video! Thanks for sharing! I am eclectic and always mix my decades. As long as I have anything prior to 1964, I'm good! haha! I use a lot of your products and love all the work you do to bring this information to us! MUAH! Oh, and that moment in the video, when your voice when all Moira Rose, OMG, I love it! #TeamSchittsCreek

[@LaurenRennells]

Moira makes me happier than cupcakes and puppies. :)

[@jrpacer6355]

Such a art form but I find it hard to believe the every day women did this style on her own

[@LaurenRennells]

I get how it looks to us in contemporary times. They were raised learning it though. Much like they were raised sewing their own clothes and cooking everything from scratch. With practice, anything takes little effort.

[@bernest6714]

Love this! Your videos are fast becoming my favorite resource! Your website already was lol!

[@LaurenRennells]

Yay! Thank you! 🌈

[@sandrastreifel6452]

Those photos of “V for victory” parts in front, are a surprising glimpse of 1940’s hair. New subbie.

[@CeliaMorrissey]

Thank you for this! Very informative!

[@LaurenRennells]

And forever to edit, but I like the way it came out.

[@OrchidAndromeda]

I guess Veronica Lake 1940s

[@LaurenRennells]

Yes her hairstyle is the 1940s

[@OrchidAndromeda]

@@LaurenRennells Just found your channel. Really enjoying it. I miss women's glamour and femininity of eras gone by and I try to incorporate that glamour in my everyday life now… Right now I'm growing my hair as long as I possibly can and kind of doing a long medieval curl thing Guinevere hair… But I've had my share of Marilyn Monroe hair.

[@retroreceptionist7571]

Yay a new video! -RetroReceptionist

[@LaurenRennells]

I'm hoping to get these up more regularly in 2022.

[@luvnalaska44]

So thrilled to have found you on YT. This was a great videol

[@jons.6216]

Maybe people were confused by Nurse Ratchet's victory rolls hairdo in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest! Haha! I looked up the term and an image of Anne Gwynne from 1944 in a magazine called "Yank" comes up from 1944! Lastly, my favorite hairstyle in 1939's "The Women" had to be Virginia Grey's curled, coiled and twisted style as Pat, the coworker of Joan Crawford in the department store perfume counter. Just gorgeous!

[@LaurenRennells]

The Women is just the best. I’d like to do a series of videos just on those hairstyles. A few years back, I did a blog post detailing one of Paulette Goddard’s hairstyles in the movie.

Are there any 1940s styles that aren’t updo’s? If so would love to see a video on it!

[@sandrastreifel6452]

See “Victoria Lake”, her long waves and peekaboo bang, couldn’t be more 1940’s.
