What a gorgeous foam roller set... as a guy with longer hair , I can say that I heave never done a foam Roller set however I so do regular wet sets using brush rollers or Velcro rollers and either a soft hood dryer or a pedestal dryer . I believe in doing what makes me comfortable and not necessarily what society expects of me , my fascination with rollers and roller sets started as a young child as i would watch my mother roll her hair with great intrigue and fascination.. I love your roller set.

[@rachelmaksy]

That's seriously awesome, go you!! I'm all about breaking societal views. Everyone deserves to have beautiful bouncy hair so who cares what anyone thinks, hahaha. Yeah you should try the foam rollers! They're a bit hard to sleep on but the curl they give you is undeniable ❤️😊

[@faeriesmak]

Lance Butlin I tried Velcro rollers and could never get them to work for me!

[@Monaika13]

How did people use that much hair spray in an era where nearly everyone smoked?

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahaha I never thought of that omg.

[@faeriesmak]

DeMonika I wonder how many people ended up catching fire!

[@drmantistobboggangonzodr3961]

They were living dangerously all right lol. Maybe that was the start of spontaneous combustion cases?

[@Stuartette]

DeMonika the war demolished brain cells

[@TheGabygael]

I feel like hairspray was stronger back then than it is today so you wouldn't use that much and most people pomaded their hair so you wouldn't need as much I guess

[@sivc.29]

I'm in love with your skin tone!! and the contrast it does with your deep red hair, looks vintagely gorgeous! 👌👍

[@a.c.7511]

I LOVE the way you edit your videos, really. I couldn't stop laughing. Thank you for being so authentic and instructive at the same time!

[@rachelmaksy]

M CC Heehee yay!! Thank you love!!!

[@ginnystewart4814]

I tried this and I look more from the 80s than I do the 50s😂 Struggles of having long hair😂 It's still a great tutorial though!

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahaha awww, try brushing it out a bit more to make it more wavy! I totally get the "Dirty Dancing" hair a lot so I gotta spend a few extra minutes brushing 😂

[@janne1277]

Ginny Stewart haha same here, it looks crazy!

[@saffronbisiker]

I suggest cutting your hair a little bit and shape it into a horse shoe shape!

[@saffronbisiker]

Also keep trying. It took me a whole month to learn how my hair works. I learnt for me to get the rollers as close to your scalp as possible. It really does matter where you place your rollers. I do 4 rows of rollers across my head. 2 at the top and 2 in front of my forehead to create a nice fringe. but it could very well be different for you because i have VERY straight hair. :-)

[@ndrva]

@@saffronbisiker very straight hair hmm... care to share what types of setting lotiony stuff you use to keep a curl? im having trouble keeping my hair from just turning straight again in minutes

[@aasigraa]

once I put a brush on it, my hair looks electrocuted :'( ..... I never get those nice shiny vintage curls/waves, I can brush for 2 hours. Or it's one frizzy mess, or the curl is pulled out.

[@rachelmaksy]

Have you tried using a setting lotion? Mine helps calm down my frizzy hair and make it a little bit smoother 😊

[@alejandrarosales7836]

Run a mix of pomade and argan oil serum through the tips of the hair up to the base of the crown it should settle down

[@cyranmartin4090]

There's also a lighter hold product called brilliantine. Makes hair super shiny! Yardley London has one that smells divine and is rather cheap. And the packaging is to die for

[@marzipanmango]

@@rachelmaksy Hey Rachel, I don't know if you'll see this, but I recently tried a curl setting lotion I made myself using boiled flaxseed + water, which creates a weird gel. It actually worked really well, it's odorless and cheap, and lasted me two days! I was wondering if maybe you could try it out on video? I haven't seen anyone else on KZbin try it yet :) Love your channel!

[@isabelladgriff]

Maybe you can try a comb instead?

[@JoypeaceinJesus]

you look like you walked out of the 1940s!!

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee 😊😊

[@onnalynn7004]

Even her house looks like it...i aspire to be more like Rachel...in a me/Shawnie kinda way...lol... Who needs to admire movie stars when theres Rachel!(and a few other vintage youtubers(including 2 non vintage) and vintage instagramers(and a few non vintage!) I dont enjoy watching the more "fake" social media and holywood peeps, i like the real people like Rachel. Anywhooooooo... I adore your haaair! Keep up the fab job girlie!

[@mrsjp10910]

I know this is an old video but I love it. And this is a great compliment so please take it that way, with your hair like this you look just like my grandmother did!! She was born in 1939 so was a teen in the 50’s but her hair looked just like this and her face shape, everything!! Love it.

[@keepmecute6863]

you are stunning!!! I'm so happy I've found your channel. I've been wanting to switch to a more vintage style for a while now. my grandmother used to use those same rollers at night. and your personality is just bomb!! you go girl!!

[@rachelmaksy]

Ahh thank you so much beautiful!!!

[@genevieveisme2163]

Your video and personality are lovely as always! Can't wait to see upload more regularly.

[@rachelmaksy]

Rory Mariano Aww thank you so much!

[@yunsuuu]

The rich auburn curls are so lovely! I can't believe you can do the colouring and the foam rolling so consistently by yourself! I can't even part my hair properly lol

[@christy-anne-jones]

This was so useful. Thank you for this!!

[@rachelmaksy]

Christy Anne Jones Yay!

[@karalarson7552]

I'm trying to manage my curly hair now that it's shorter than I've ever had it. I've never used curlers before (my hair just curls on its own, but it's messy if left to its own devices). I'm excited to see how it turns out!

[@emma-kp4cp]

Love the music. I am obsessed with vintage stuff!!!! :)

[@olduglyentwife5700]

[@faeriesmak]

[@saffronbisiker]

I don't think so

[@garrulus3399]

I think I found my remedy for troubling times. I needed this so much, I didn't even know. Wholesome, interesting tutorials to try just for fun. And watch sth peaceful and calming. Thank you.

[@quirkyOverload]

Great video! I love foarm rollers. My hair is growing out of a pixie at the moment. so i do on-base curls with foam rollers all over the top of the head and pin curl the fringe and the bottom bits that are too short for rollers. its more of a 50s look though. I can't wait till my hair is long enough to do something like this.

[@Stuartette]

NatalieVintageGirl me too! I’m growing my hair out from what was long on top and shaved underneath. It’s so annoying 😭

[@sallylapradd2900]

Fortunately I have curly hair, so I can just set it semi-damp with rollers & I have curls for a week.😀 Love foam rollers.🌻

[@lanternwaste8361]

I do the same thing! I love this style, so pretty on everyone!

[@l.seabury4112]

Perfection! Going to rock this look at our annual family Christmas party. Cannot wait! Shocked faces, lol. Glamour girl all the ho ho ho way. Even Santa can't resist. Ty so much!

[@rachelmaksy]

Hehehe love it!!! ❤️

[@definitelynotalizard]

Thank you for mentioning that you use setting lotion! I've always tried just wet setting my curls and they would never look right or stay curled.

[@mastersadvocate]

I love how you curled your hair!!! My hair is almost as long as this, SOOO I'm gonna try this style!! Thanks for the cool video, and I just LOVE that music in the background!!!! Cheers! ~Janet in Canada

[@dreamingofpemberly]

Did this with a cross between a foam roller and rag roller, being its one I got from Amazon a while back specifically that you can use while you sleep with a silk hair cover while I sleep that is bandana print, it works for my thin hair, which I have plenty of, provided you curl at night with product the first night, and roll it the following nights till you wash your hair. Make sure and keep it in as long as you can before going out. Highly recommend.

[@raesmith2164]

Thank you so much. I really love the 40s and have been experimenting with the styles, but people on KZbin either do the 50s pinup style, or completely butcher the style to make it modern. BTW love the little edit parts. :)

[@edengranger4501]

This is so much easier than I thought it would be. Thank goodness!

[@moongem4489]

Kinda unrelated to this style of vintage, but the voice track in the music you used was in a song by a steampunk rock band I listened to when I was 13 and I just got strong flashbacks to middle school.

[@mrsnanmarks]

Okay it might look horrendous on me, but I am going to try that anyway :D Thank you for lovely tutorial, you look very lovely :)

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee you can doooo it! ❤️

[@marthayounger9219]

Rachel I love everything you do on your channel please never give up your dreams I love everything Vintage and never fell guilty some people just like to be critical is their nature but must of us that like you we will be with you you are not in this world to change who you are oh an by the way I love Frodo he is part of your history

[@ellenlewis9860]

Finally! Someone with hair as thick as mine. Love it.

[@mountainviewvintage386]

Aw it reminds me of going with my mom to the grocery store in the 70's/80's still in her rollers & net cap☺️so fun! i just ordered some foameys on ebay & gonna try it💕

[@22mendonca]

Just subscribed to your channel & thank you doll....How refreshing! Love this tutorial with added comic value too!😂 You look amazing. xx

[@rachelmaksy]

Aww yay thank you lovely! :)

[@jenniferlacey6974]

pretty sure you can get that setting lotion at a Black hair beauty supply store in case you need to it local. Also check the ethnic hair section

[@ariewashere121]

Yet another fabulously helpful video!! now I know what to do with my foam rollers. I'm gonna give this a go! wish me luck! lmao

[@-junk-]

So happy I found this video I saw Brooke shields with these gorgeous curls and I wanted to do them so badly! Thank you I hope I can execute it as well as you did ☺️

[@chibiloki]

Perfect! Thanks for sharing this. I still haven't got myself to retry pin curls, but I freakin love foam rollers, so this will be a happening thing. Your hair looks great and I love the go with the flow, brush, and tease of this hair style. Seems just right for my randomly moody hair.

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you so much lovely!! Pin curls don't even work on my hair anymore so foam rollers are always my safe bet hahaha ❤️

[@triniskittles_]

I’m using this style for my schools showing of South Pacific. Thank you!! This is so helpful

[@adreena456]

I've been browsing through a few hair tutorials and knew this was the one for me the second you showed Wilma! I was watching that movie last week and am obsessed with her hair! Love the video, I've just bought my first ever foam rollers and am going to try them out today

[@luciatat4084]

Just saw her last intro, today and I promise, she wasn’t lying😂😂😂😂 she was so funny in her last intro!

[@veganvintagegeek935]

In stead of a scarf you can use a hair net to help keep the rollers in, this works the best for me since a scarf slips off my head or a fabric sleep cap that is in the hair accessories/comb section of the store. I like the hair net especially in summer since it gets to hot wearing a scarf or sleep cap at night.

[@rachelmaksy]

Oooo genius!

[@fatamorgana7777]

I need some advice please Rachel: My hair is white blonde (extremely processed) but it’s not exactly damaged or very fragile, but it is prone to dryness and frizziness because of this. I have been wanting to sleep in foam rollers for awhile now but I’m paranoid that I will distress my hair from sleeping on it often and I was going to try to use the wet set technique but I’m also even more nervous that I will pull too hard on it and cause my hair to break off.. I suppose the same goes for if were to sleep in a dry set much like yours. I attempted to sleep in a dry set of rollers but I just couldn’t get myself to fall asleep with them in, even with a hair scarf protecting it.. My proposal: maybe you could possibly make a video about how you literally sleep and maneuver with these rollers throughout the night? Any advice, warnings or tips??? Thank you so much!!

[@silverfoxy3527]

Love this video :) I'm definitely trying this look. You totally rock it

[@rachelmaksy]

Mr & Miss behave Eee yay let me know how it turns out!😊

[@siouxsie.sioux.]

Does this work in naturally curly hair? I normally look like a 1980s hot mess...

[@rachelmaksy]

I think so! I think once you moisten the hair with setting lotion, it'll 'reset' the curls into the shape you want them!

[@laurenconrad1799]

You look just like the Molly McEntire illustration from my childhood! It was a historical children’s novel about a girl living in the 1945 and getting pin-curls done.

[@MChapman-tx4forever]

Ughh! So discouraged. Trying to do your style for a 40s play I'm in... Don't know if it's because I have long hair or if it's the product. I've tried this several times, and it's awful. I either brush the curl out or get waves that look exactly like the other waves in my hair. Brushing made it worse. Great tutorial, but you are a fortunate one! Your hair is pretty and cooperative, whereas mine is coarse, frizzy, and terrible. =...(

[@MChapman-tx4forever]

Plus, the creases left by the curlers ruin it further. SOMEBODY HELP MEEEE

[@TBx46]

@@MChapman-tx4forever but setting lotion before !!

You can buy a hair mask to control the frizz!💜

[@knitgirl09]

I am so trying this method, thank you!! I have tried pin curls but hair was too long. I tried a wet set and my hair never dried. Hot rollers and I think I need to let it heat up for a longer time. But this seems much more practical.

[@rachelmaksy]

Jennifer Garcia I feel you!!! I'm the same exact way with other methods!

[@allygirls1]

You and your dog are both adorable! :)

[@evaharvey840]

That reminds me of Jeanie DelPoppa's invention from the 70's, a clear face shield we used to protect our makeup (and eyes) from all the aqua-net we used back then... Dressing capes & shoe covers ect., Anyway, my point is, ppe is and has been important yet not so much embraced, til recently that is, so protect yourself as you respect yourself, stay lovely!💋

Anyone with naturally tight curly hair do you do the same method? If I brush out my hair it would be massive!!! Should I straighten it first?

Loved your video! I believe you can get Motions foaming wrap lotion at Sally's beauty, I use that and a little lotta body setting lotion mixed with water on damp hair, my wet sets usually last for a week or so

[@rachelmaksy]

I wanted to learn how to get this hairstyle since I don’t like how flat my hair is. Found your channel and I’m ready to start something new!

[@laurac.405]

I tried pin curling the other day, and just wasn't able to do it. So time consuming and hard when you have thick hair... double bobby pins, having to re-do multiple curls, etc., etc. and then not getting a good final result overnight. I still want to nail this hairstyle though... I think I'll have better luck with foam rollers.

[@amymariewilcox7324]

[@Memos_Vintage]

Hello I have naturally curly hair as well 3b on the hair scale and I have short hair and yes but you will need to use less rollers if you want it to look like pin curls only two rows in the back and that will work it will take a little longe in brushing because it produces waves look up the glambassador on KZbin she has 3b curly hare and uses hair rollers you might light her hair tutorials!

Hey just wanted to say I do the same thing to my hair too and if you roll hair going upwards to your scalp you will get more lift especially in the front, Off course there nothing wrong with the way you did it and I am glad I am not the only one who just doesn't want to deal with pin curls :P

[@rachelmaksy]

Nadine Olivier Oh interesting!! I've never tried that with rollers, I'll have to give it a go! Thank you love!

[@NadineOlivier]

No problem. I'm always excited to see others who do similar things and see what works for them. But yeah, try rolling starting at the top and rolling down towards your scalp. You can kinda see what I am talking about on my IG here : instagram.com/p/BCCTdzvEabY/?taken-by=cupcakeandtea

Another great video! First time I tried foam rollers I really thought you had to have wet hair... Well I never been so disapointed in the morning. The top looked awful, too curly (used small curlers) and the rest was still soaking wet. 😂 Now I do it on freshly washed hair, but just a bit damp.
