Hair Styles Beware (1955)

London.
C/U of a model who is displaying a recently teased hairdo. She turns to show the front and side of the curled hairstyle. C/U of a detail of her curled fringe. Camera moves down the head to the neck. Raymond - the hairstylist better known as "Teasie-Weasie" - describes the hairstyle himself. He calls it "Spring". Shot of Raymond who is incredibly dapper, styling the woman's hair. He wears a velvet jacket with silk collar, a yellow cravat and his hair is slicked back. He has a thin moustache.
Raymond places a floral arrangement around the base of the hair. Raymond informs us that "finger curls and dagger sides establish the style". The hair has highlights of Peacock Blue. The model turns to show the finished style. The model is called Claudette.
M/S of Raymond admiring another of his hairstyles. He explains that this particular lady (Pat) has a flat head (!) so he has piled up curls on top - "an Alexander fringe". The hair has shadings of Gold Lustre. C/U of Raymond combing the style into shape as he explains his hairdressing philosophy. M/S of Raymond leaning backwards to admire his handiwork. C/U of Pat, she turns her head to show the "cute cut". C/U of a detail of the hair "the moustache" - a strange little double curl at the nape of the neck.
L/S of very glamorous woman dressed in pink with pink hair to match! C/U of the woman's hands which are clasped in her lap. Camera tilts up to show her face and an astonishing pink fringe - wow! She turns her head to display the style. C/U of the model - Jean - as Raymond uses his scissors to point out the shape of the haircut. He points out that it has a "soft bolster fringe" and a "modified cubic line".
L/S of Raymond ("Teasie-Weasie") working on another woman's hair. C/U of her style which he describes as his "Sea of Waves" - he encourages us to notice how deep the troughs are. C/U of the style as he tilts her head. He has used "magenta colouring to match her green eyes" and a slight cubic effect shapes her head the way he wants it.
The "true cube" is seen modelled by a young teenager Brenda. She turns to show the style.
C/U of the model with the pink fringe - she has a floral decoration perched on the back of her head. She turns to display it ending with a smile into the camera. Narrator ends by saying: "At its best hair in the hands of an expert crowning a woman's beauty. In this way the hair stylist and artist in every sense makes his own valuable contribution to this colourful world!"
Note: for search purposes, alternative spellings: Teasy-Weasy, Teasie Weasie, Teazy-Weazy, Teazy Weazy, Teazie Weazie, Teazie-Weazie or Teasy Weasy (can't think of any more!).
There is some documentation on file relating to the hairstyles on show.

Teasie-Weasie: originator of pink hair and the first celeb hairdresser! I love him.

[@nakamasaroffy5769]

They all look beautiful 😍

[@operachild]

This helps explain why women of a certain age were always so complimentary of my hair when I dyed it various colors.

[@lewis7515]

To be honest, these cuts are dope and the women look amazing.

[@Zlervo]

They're appearance is impeccable. 😍

[@maureenkirby1207]

I'm much more fascinated by HIS hair.

[@sleepytimetaquito]

I’m into this. Honestly all of them look fire 🔥

[@karimhamed3838]

"A womans hair is a work of art"

Back then at least

[@FAIRYGIRL911]

​@@petroltrankof2667 like men have any excuse for their rat nests

[@jcaylalove8713]

So cool! Thanks for sharing! 😊🤟❤️

[@GrilledChickenRamyun]

So graceful

[@bethgiles1444]

It's a Hair Day's KNIGHT!

[@tashviparmar5294]

Wow so beautiful ❤️

[@diaryofseresha]

Look at their skin man so clear n smooth

[@TheMassacreFilms]

Cute haircuts

[@theOGLC]

The second girl reminds me of Blanche from Golden Girls

[@Dawn-Songs]

Can anyone remember the "Twirly Twink" early home perms ? We had them in the UK but not sure about elsewhere . The processing fluid really smelled awful anf the perm turned out like a Poodle 😂

[@diaryofsereshaswag]

Their skin used to be so beautiful. No filler no plastic surgery all natural

[@xolovenicole]

You believe plastic surgery wasn’t available then ? Naive

[@josenotmarichan]

oh wow i didnt know fun hair colors were already a thing in the 50s

[@mlss1229]

Why do I always find it hard to accept from others that women’s haircuts in the 50’s were fashionable and becoming.

[@smadaf]

Because it was one of the lowest points ever in the history of women's hairstyles?

[@RedEbSeb13]

The ‘moustache’ rat tail at the back was awful.

[@Maggie22002]

Still beats the “ Man Bun” that men wear today. All I keep thinking about is Aunt Bea on The Andy Griffith Show.

[@guillermoisamit7784]

Belleza

[@jackdanger6413]

Beautiful, classic, classy, daring yet demure and ladylike - concepts completely foreign to modern, contemporary females.

[@sophiarose8210]

man I’ve seen you comment the exact same thing on a couple videos now get over yourself 😭😭 how you let yourself get so upset over a natural change in societal standards weirdo

[@missthing5005]

Men lead, women follow. The trifiling, good for nothing men of today lead society and women to the shameful mess it is today

[@princesssparkle529]

I bet you also shame women for cutting/dyeing their hair. Or even just wearing the same amount of make up as the women in these videos.

[@FAIRYGIRL911]

if men were worth all of that we'd probably try a little harder

[@bluecresc5804]

Wow

[@lottiewright7674]

All of them look absolutely ridiculous except maybe the pink one 🙄

[@piperfox74]

There's enough "product" in each of these dos to burn its own personal hole in the ozone layer.

[@susanbrogan3267]

They had stiff hairdos in the 50's. The hairspray industry must have done well.

[@Dawn-Songs]

​@@susanbrogan3267I'm surprised they weren't afraid to smoke with all the highly inflammable products and hairspray on their hair . It might well have been wise to carry a small travel sized fire extinguisher in your shopping or handbag the way we carry hand sanitizers now .🤔

[@susanbrogan3267]

@@Dawn-SongsLol This is so true!

[@Just_uneasy]

The second one looks like a puddle 😂

[@lucianahelenamoreira8868]

Na vdd o cabelo puro em sí ñ tem nd de bonito. Só parece harmônico por causa das mulheres em questão serem por sí só bonitas e harmônicas. Mas provavelmente nestas modelos qq cabelo pareceria bonito

[@aedsell]

Magenta coloring to match her green eyes? I believe it should be complements the eyes. Nevertheless, I think these are all dreadful.

[@carlimarshall1035]

[@dohavename6775]

Ok but all of them are ridiculous. Mismatching curls, oddly cut silhouettes, moustache on a neck? This guy just wants to be 'totally alternative' without any meaningful ideas. He is also ridiculous in a way he treats women in the video completely as a mannequin or canvas.

[@koyotecow7102]

This was the priming for the homosexual movement 10 years later. Turning all the women into cute little boys. Fortunately it was tried, tested, and rejected by 70s.

[@sarahlouise7163]

bloody awful
