I like that the girls ask questions and he gives a legitimate simple answer! It really seems like he is willing to teach and makes it appear more personable and do-able at home.

[@gtran7]

I absolutely love it, for years I have always wondered how the hair of the models in the magazines was able to style their hair to appear full volume and a shortened length. Thank you so much and for sure will be my new and fav hairstyle to wear definitely.

[@Suzie1231]

the model is absolutely beautiful

[@heathert200417]

I like how you have her do some of her hair. I wish more stylist would do that.

[@jenpot25]

Just perfect for night/evening occasions and the red carpet....awesome work bravo

[@Makeuploveculture]

OMG shes gorgeous!!! And her air color is what makes me want to go blonde!! It' like the perfect blonde

[@ladydiora]

U shall be called the angel of hair from now on

[@Jojobean666]

They never did their hair like this is the 50's. This looks like "Oh I'm hammered and I feel like putting mayonnaise in my hair and standing in front of a leafblower."

[@LEMONSareGREAT97]

it looks better from the side but it still looks great

[@elsamillan2808]

Todos tus trabajos son bellísimos.quisiera algún día poner mi cabello en tus manos

[@okshua]

I love how he's interacting with the model. Not alot of hair stylists let the model do thier hair.

[@loveschamber]

Sometimes hairstyles are given too much complication to style. In reality I could have scrubbed my head on the pillow to achieve that look. lol yup & and done :D

[@barringtonstanley]

I think its amazing! the hair is good as well

[@dandyarts83]

amazing!

[@MarinaMrls]

[@Breebeautyx]

[@urgurlsaysay]

Wow, L O V E this! Very classy, I think this look is timeless, in a Jackie O kind of way, thank you for showing the how to, :)

[@angelfiga]

[@beenajariwala7096]

[@rorritaa.8913]

[@mudinhjsfvjs]

[@moraimamora]

[@AnthonyFresno]

Very Hollywood Elegance

[@snzv96]

So amazing like a lions fur!

[@Beautycircus]

i dont understand what he did in the last part of the video...how has he done the finished hairstyle?

[@jessicalouisemusic8467]

Her smile at the end seems to say, "Ahaha! As soon as I get home, I'm taking this out -.-"

[@MsDragana07]

This is amazing. I love it :D

[@cannibalmonkey13]

Maybe it's just cause I'm not a hair person, but. I think the final result looked like shit :/ sorry. The 60's one was great tho.

[@savannalogan7948]

It looked great. If ur not a hair person why r u watching these videos?

[@cannibalmonkey13]

im watching these videos to learn more about hair, and even with my lack of ability I can see it CLEARLY looked like shit, the fact you cant see it shows you're even LESS capable than i am.

[@savannalogan7948]

No some people in the 50s liked messy hair so u should learn more history and learn that hair is not always made to be perfect

[@rebsrebs13]

she definitely looked at the crew at 1:11 to check she was getting her lines right

[@diabl2master]

she looked better just after he took the pins out than at the end

[@Hippidippidora]

He likes the word section

[@venusstardust]

What sort of cut does the model have??? I have really long hair all one length would that work with this??

[@ashy1098]

I like how the models aren't zombies

[@shockz18]

she is so hoott

[@Kriiispy]

@Massy012 I was literally just going to respond saying that. It looks great at this point.

[@tiinnyy1]

do you use the product on wet hair?

[@ruta88]

I like Emma. She hat a very sweat voice

[@baccanalus]

Looks nice but it looks more 80's than 50's.

[@SamBamSpam]

@HavocMissy I don't recall stating that it was the entire worlds opinion? Just wondered if anyone felt the same

[@bubbles02010]

well, I think it looks lovely ' _ '

[@gabrielaperez6609]

Can anybody tell me the color hair of the model??? I tried many salons and they can't get this color.

[@HavocMissy]

@SamBamSpam thats your opinion... not the whole entire worlds.

[@tina363]

i tried this and it doesnt work its so difficult to do the pin curls and my hairs long so even when i managed the pin curls it didnt sweep back like hers did just hung there so maybe u need short layers in the front lol

[@mariadelacruz3831]

fierce

[@fentsur]

I'll double that, listen for the word 'basically'.

[@xOPINIONATEDx]

I think it looked better with the pin curls left it :L She's so elegant and beautiful though :D

[@Hrobbiex]

She looks like Amanda Holden, THUMBS IF YOU AGREE!

[@RylieisAwsome]

What type of haircut does she have?

[@KimAnnee4]

isn't this song on Bratz Rock Angels Movie? yeah, i kinda would know this stuff&i'm almost sixteen:/

[@Hrobbiex]

[@17143972290]

[@sanjidaakterbdjsr]

Hi there, are you familiar with "HAiRator" yet? Simply do a Google search. On their website I found a great and pain-free body hair removal method that requires no more shaving or waxing. Actually, that method has been presented in Vogue and other media. This made it easier for Cindy to have long lasting touchable skin. It might work for you too.

[@TheLyndsGirl]

literally.

[@21350ctw]

And literally

[@Massy012]

Looks better at 3:48

[@helloitsmeitsme16]

You know when you just got done running a mile and you have all kinds of stray hairs out of your ponytail? 4:01 is what i look like when im done running a mile.

[@cintiqlover]

lool it's not the bratz theme is more upbeat and has a few different instruments. i should know im 14 and i still watch the series

[@lucygirl4926]

Waaay too difficult for one person to do....unless you have arms like Gorgeous George!

[@tatianameh5996]

One that looks horrible two that is NOT 50s style at all three that is NOT HOW YOU PIN CURL!

[@rktn13]

His eyes are like =_=

[@RoxieRoulette]

More 90s than 50s I'd say...

[@BunnyRainbow]

He says the word " section" 13 times

[@taibaalajemi2160]

Does anyone else think that the final look makes her look like shes been electricuted?

[@Jantv81]

No, its reminiscent of the way women wore their hair in the '50s. Short, big, with soft curls.

[@jenelle105]

lol i thought i was the only one who didnt like it

[@latifabinfaris3221]

كشه اي اميزق اي خربطان

[@MrSkinnyWhale]

Looks like Nicholas Cage.

[@jacksvoice]

I can't believe the dreadful vent brush he uses, the bristle cut offs at the base just drag and break the hair. #Denmanventbrushmadefromasinglepieceofhardenedrubber

[@martamatuszewska6549]

Sorry but you are a very good at doing hairstyles dedicated to our times. Don't try to convince others that this is how people looked in these decades because it's something completley different. You're not a retro hairstylist. Take care.

[@gymnast1537]

Tf..

[@miragebeautysupply894]

Most time I find KZbin commentators to be really simple-minded. It's obvious that the hairstyle is it's creating at home hairstyles that's why he's teaching her. Why would a teach her a complicated hairstyle, that she cannot recreate. UK trained stylist and rigiously trained...I bet you none of these comentators below can get employeed by John Frieda representing his company's multi million dollar brand. The hairstyle looked like a bodified bevelled bob. And yes in the 50's this style did exsist. Michaelle Obama replicated similar hairstyle (when everyone thought she cut her hair...when in actuality she did an updo in the back)and the media reported the hairstyle as a sensation throughout the entire US. 70% youtube commentators are the biggest sh*tslingers ever I swear. The sad fact is that less than 1/16 of these comentors have a friggin clue about what the topic they are negatively commenting on. If they did, then they wouldn't be on KZbin watching a professional hairstylist teach a tutorial. If you dislike certain steps of the tutorial then omit that step and stop being some damn negative. Or better yet why don't you make a video tutorial showing us how's really done!

[@highonlife1426]

whats wrong with guys eyes?

[@Ishana_Intuitive]

This is 80ies, not 50ies.

[@kataylyst]

omg.....blonddddde....pin ur hair girl..GEEBUS

[@srnickooo]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 wtf

[@rebsrebs13]

>.< he looks like that.

[@xcutthroat69]

Omg was that real? Because it certainly looked horrific!

[@mariyariaz1]

bet she hated it aswell..

[@SamBamSpam]

Does anyone else think it looks horrible?!

[@genie121]

Oh please Mr Frieda - Do you really think thats easy to do ? by your self at home? hands will get tired, the hair rolls will be messy, who is going to do that twist pony tail thing you did at the back? and who will pin the rest of my loose hair at the back?

[@moemeimei]

Looks really bad.. I don't know what the stylist is thinking..!!

[@brickellcarri]

This is so ugly

[@astaliini]

To be honest I think that looks rather awful o__O I mean, I look like that if I fall asleep with damp hair and have a tough time sleeping.

[@wowza191]

Puts years on her to be honest, I didn't like the hairstyle much.

[@HelenaBlack80]

I wouldn't pay tuppence for that hairstyle. And what was he smoking to think that is a 50's style!?

[@rodastbury5413]

That looks awful!

[@JGKV531816]

Wow.... That looks like shit... I could do better while drunk with my eyes closed

[@jacksvoice]

...but I like the concept. Just badly executed.

[@SamBamSpam]

But it looks horrible, so why would you want to recreate it?

[@j1mb4rt0n]

hair sucks but she's smoking

[@HavocMissy]

annoying repetitive music in the background. girl is pretty but hair do isn't anything special.

[@IlkaWaffy]

she is such a beautiful model but this hairstyle is awful!

[@LadyVenomWay]

Its looks a giant mess

[@lBabiiJ]

its ugly ild rather 1950's pin curls

[@drschellokovic]

This is LITERALLY the most ridiculous "50's updo" I've every seen. It is not 1950's at all and an updo? Ugly.

[@elise0100]

it just looks like a hot mess ;S

[@perth45]

IT LOOKS bloody awful..........WHAT ON earth is John Frieda thinking in allowing this to be on the world wide web????????
