I super appreciate that he's teaching HER how to do it instead of doing it himself. It's one thing to have a stylist handling it all for you. It's another to do it yourself and have to correct the way you're holding a curling iron in the mirror.

[@MR-zz3zb]

he brushed it way too much. lmao

[@TSD0416]

+Markeiya Olive He ruined the gorgeous curls with over brushing them and that last waxy product he used.

[@LAMSCHICK0104]

I like how they show a client doing the techniques and him correcting her. It helps you learn how to teach a client.

[@TheAkki1997]

The model is sooo pretty and such a sweet voice aw.

[@carlossandoval483]

cake loverxxx

[@pronitabarua6241]

Oh my she looked like an art piece. Beautiful. Makeup subtle and so was the dress and the hairstyle.

[@Hollywood0792]

She's adorable and I really like the fact the he gives her the chance to try on her own the hairstyle! Lovely! :)

[@BriLineFilmEditor]

omg dont rip her head off!!! hes so heavy handed

[@lalaishappyyy]

ikr XD so violent

[@karmatrain8502]

I find it hilarious that all these products were "needed" to achieve a style from over 75 years ago.

[@AM-gn3qk]

Shana Stone were none of them were existed hahahhah

[@Ninasim123]

Here in my country they used malzbeer to hold the hair...lol.

[@mumblesandwool1243]

Its a tradeoff. As someone who does authentic 40s and 50s hairstyles daily i can tell you they used products back then too. They sure settinglotion, beer or sugar water and pincurl clips to pincurl their hair and then some teasing and lots of hairspray. This method saves time (depending on how fast you can pincurl, your hair dries and how long the brush out takes.. It takes longer for me to curl my hair with heat because it doesnt respond well to heat) although you do lose some of the accuracy in the finished product. Also hes a hairstylist and showcasing products. Theres nothing wrong with using alot of quality products to get a certain lookwhen yoire not confident in doing the traditional method

[@LilyOfLife]

@@mumblesandwool1243 is right. Furthermore, appreciate the evolution of hair styling. Products are added not only just for marketing purposes but simply by demand, whether it is to enhance or refine or improve upon and make the process more efficient.

[@Perfectproposalsweden]

Its just Advertising

[@angelface1S]

her voice is soo cute!!

[@loveschamber]

I like it better before he brushed it

[@natalyababiyy]

Totally agree

[@KayDe271]

I was saying the same thing it looked a lot better before he brushed all the curls out.

[@jodavo22]

Aunielle Neal I thought exactly the same 😉

[@surajduttadutta3196]

A

[@hollyclem1123]

Same!!

[@MJforever5690]

It was looking so good until the end.... then it all just disappeared lol

[@DeathLord1996]

i screamed when he brushed it. he could've ran his fingers through it or used a wide comb.

[@lalaishappyyy]

same!! >_

[@RK-lk9zk]

he brushed the curls so hard that she freaked out lmao

[@75vasso]

why does it seem so easy when you watch, and when you do it yourself, it 's nothing like that at all?

[@nothincoolerthanatex]

75vasso she has really healthy and maluable hair

[@EideJulie]

For the ones unsatisfied with the brushing out: I understand your rage, but if he didn't brush it out, it would just be curls. Period. The modern-retro, 1940's look IS this wavy, brushed out thing. A bit Veronica Lake (unless you do the tighter, over-night curls ofc.) I do agree that the balm makes it too greasy near the roots. But other than that, this looks like a REALLY easy 1940's look, instead of the hours and hours of pincurling. + The bumping cheat-trick near the roots: New trick there!

[@triciamssensensensibility3350]

I like how he lets her try each step as well. Very pretty style and technique.

[@Timetravel1111]

Love the vintage the wave, classy look but my favorite part is the when she’s actually doing it then she’ll want to try to do it again for her hair in the future 1920s 30s was fantastic

[@pamhanson03]

Beautiful look on a lovely, charming model.

[@nezzy003]

omg that girl is soooo pretty she would look stunning in everything and every hairstyle

[@delsongalasinao706]

I love the retro 40.s curls .

[@fatinaattieh128]

The way he explains is super amazing

[@coreyanderson1457]

I will say though, John Frieda products are very good. I loved their Sheer Blonde. They used to have this deep conditioner in the Sheer Blonde line that they must not have anymore that was AWESOME. I wish they still had that stuff.

[@melstevens957]

Just lovely! I NEED to try out this tutorial with my karmin clipless curling iron. I hope to get it right

[@AnnathePiana]

I miss the Spun Gold hair pomade so much! It was really unique as it had a shimmer which complemented blonde hair.

[@TheMonkeywobbler]

Beautiful hair and Jake seems lovely!

[@cma9841]

All these people commenting clearly do not know how to achieve a 40's look. He brushed it out because that's how you achieve a veronica lake-like wave. Should he have left the bobby pin exposed, no, but he nailed the look nonetheless.

[@butterfly123417]

it's not really a 40s look because he said "trying to get that up to date look" when he was brushing her hair ..

[@minimaru4810]

live_laugh_love3755 actually he said "up-to date kinda feel" there's a difference honey .. He nailed the retro look end of story.

[@mumblesandwool1243]

Its true brush outs are a part of vintage styling but in my opinon he brushed it too mixh. That style is lucky to last 3 hours. With a wet set you can brush it out to that ppint and it will still hold but heatstyling doesnt last as long so you want to brush out less. The quick brush he did made it accurate and once he started brushing more, he gave it more of a modern feel. I myself prefer a more vintage look since i do pincurls daily to get a histprically accurate look but its personal preference

[@ladya123]

This is my favourite of all the hollywood curls tutorials I've seen!

[@BebeLush2]

Gorgeous! I love this.

[@ilea-us2gs]

Sooooo gorgeous, I loved it!!

[@crzytwilightlvr]

I like how they had the model herself do it as well!

[@melreh5799]

Omg this is one of the nicest one I've seen so far

[@wittysophisticate]

Love this method!

[@5050TM]

Totally agreed! Without the brushing there would be no point in calling it retro. Also, these tricks will save loads of time when I can't sleep in pin-curls

[@angellohector]

She's gorgeous and what a lovely manner about her!

[@gharamalsnayyan4446]

That guy looses his accent then it comes back

[@BaNaNaNzZ]

Such a classic look. Thank you for uploading this tutorial. Why do so many people always have to make snide comments like they're the best hairstylist? You wouldn't be watching this tutorial if you knew how to do this, now would you?

[@amandalilienthal93]

I wouldn't exactly call them curls...more like "slight retro wave."

[@SophieHughesMusic123]

this looks soooo easy xxx

[@MizztressOfSpices]

I really like Emma's lovely manner as well...poor her when he starts brushing in a crazy way not even being considerate to her! Didn't like that part...hair is delicate! The hair looked way nicer when just being released...did not like the violent brushing technique!

[@lucozayn2675]

lmao it was funny, she was like why tf is he breaking my neck

[@veronicacibils696]

What is the model's name?? Pleaseee if some on e know, tell me

Amazing video! Was wondering would it affect the result if I used hair conditioner as I wash my hair?

[@justbeyou1239]

[@freddiemercury4880]

“To give it a much more ‘up to date’ kind of feel”, I thought that these were RETRO curls!!!😡😡😡

[@VikkiZero21]

100% agree xx

[@MnAino]

I like this very much :D

[@FranceVintageAmour]

[@k.suliman8539]

Perfection

[@kaguilar9989]

That is 100% true! While watching it I was thinking that it looked better before he brushed out all the curls

[@jessiaes1074]

I LOVE

[@apurvarajput6428]

Wow very good

[@jnour6597]

very classy

[@cici382]

C'est magnifique :)

[@addicted2taylor]

Catchy tune

[@playwaters]

The model Emma is soooo cute!

[@RylieisAwsome]

I would just do the uprooting thing and the parting because I think it looks good that way

[@user-hu9ns2wm8i]

I like it

[@carrotseventeencarat17]

Her accenttttt😭🔥💞

[@naomisteemans5952]

It looked very good without brushing it so harshly... and in the end it just looked greasy. So many products, bleh. Shame, she has very nice hair.

[@TheAmandakev]

that looks fucking awesome.

[@dahliassalvias7972]

I don't know why everyone is freaking out about the hair brushing. The final look he had was the look he was aiming for which is more delicate waves, if he wanted big crazy curls he would have done it otherwise.
