How to set your hair in rollers || 40s/50s hair setting routine || A Guide to Vintage Beauty

[@colleenwilliams1452]

I was born in the 1940s and I remember 1950s well. It makes me smile as I remember the time so well. It is so different today. My mother made her own clothes from, and sewed my clothes. I used to wear stiff petticoats which made my dresses stick out, especially doing rock n roll. I still have records of Elvis Presley, Pat Boone, and many others. I have clothes patterns and knitting books from the 1950s. I would sleep in my hair rollers so it looked nice.

I found your channel a couple days ago. I just have to say that it is extremely pleasant and calming to watch your videos. They bring happiness and peace and at times little giggles. You show the sweetest moments with your babies...all children are babies to me even after they are grown. Much love!

" frizz is historically accurate"!! Love it!! 😊... Ive always had 80's frizz.. ive finally embraced it. Looks good 👍!!

[@WithLoveKristina]

The 80s are totally in right now, too!

[@richellmcknight446]

The secret to getting rid of that is a good leave in conditioner, a comb and hair pic( do NOT brush it!) , and a diffuser! I STILL have my 80's hair at 52, long and loose curly, and I used to spiral perm it, so trust me, this WORKS!😂❤❤❤❤

I have cowlicks like that & used to be so self conscious of them. Lately I’ve been trying to learn how to embrace them!

[@WithLoveKristina]

Hah I had NO idea I had cowlicks there till I got a haircut once as an and the lady commented on them 😂 the back of my head is none of my business 😤🤣

[@GracefullyUnraveled]

@@WithLoveKristina I only knew about mine because after my 3rd baby, one of them started turning into a bald spot & my middle child pointed it out! 💀

I have a peignoir set from 1964 it is white and it includes a night gown and negligee. This was a shower gift to me from my mother when I got married. I have kept it in a cedar chest for many years, too small for me now but I still love it. Barbara

[@chyrlwillis9422]

I just found your channel. I enjoy all of your content. I was born in 1955 so i remember the 50's. Your hair is right on point. Many of the ladies I grew up with styled their hair like yours. To get your hair to flip under, brush from underneath and flip your wrist toward your neck just at the end. Hard to describe. I'll look for some vintage movies that show actresses using the trick. ❤

[@lindaloo6951]

You have gorgeous hair!

[@beckyowens2586]

I very much appreciated this tutorial. I've been struggling with training my curls to do the classic wave and curl under. I wear hair toppers due to some thinning and hair loss and they're naturally straight, but my hair is curly. It's easier to style them properly because, well, they're not on my head lol. I do the front up and back so I can do pachuca style victory rolls when I want, but the rest is curled under. I've always wet set my hair in a bun to train my curls because they will start a revolution and absolutely NOT do anything remotely attractive, but now I'm thinking that some kind of under bun or three might be the way to go. I've tried doing a wet pincurl set, but it always just frizzes out in the end and I get the kinks from the bobby pins. I will certainly look into pillow rollers. I've used foam in the past and they're so dang uncomfortable. I tried hot rollers once, turned out very very 70's lol. Still keep them though, never know when you need to look like Farrah lol.

[@riggs20]

Love it! I’m not quite brave enough to do the U-cut yet, but I’m going to try the wet set anyway. Thanks for explaining it in such a clear and fun way. I can’t wait to try it! 🎀

[@richellmcknight446]

You did a lovely job😊❤❤❤ You need to separate those curls by hand or GENTLY with a pick so you don't rip that brush through, you will just break your hair like that! I have LONG naturally loose curly hair, and i used to do a spiral perm in it, before i figured out it was actually naturally curly if I worked with it right😂 This is the best method to keep from breaking it, i NEVER EVER touch it with a brush, only a comb/pick/ fingers. I know you want the brush as a setting tool, but separate it gently first, you will save your hair and it will stay thicker😉🥰❤❤❤ Also, the Aussie spray gel is really the BEST product for holding curls- its light to the touch but holds well- you could spray your hair with the gel and wrap it, you'd probably get better results 😊❤

[@heidischultes2956]

Great hair great style 👌👌😍

[@margaretkur8161]

I have long hair below my shoulders. Wavy on top half and curly on the bottom half. I'm more interested in getting the top half to be wavier. I live in SWFL and my hair tends to frizz in the heat & humidity. It's quite thick. Now that I'm retired it still puffs out for a day or so after my shampoo even in AC.

[@richellmcknight446]

Ditch the brush, first of all, don't use anything except a comb, a pick, or your fingers- use a lightweight leave in conditioner when you wash it and a SPRAY gel, like the one the Aussie makes- also use a diffuser on your hair dryer, tip your head over and dry from tip to root upside down, with the diffuser, then flip it over and finish 😊❤

[@ricrussell4413]

I saw that your husband wasn’t on board with the vintage life? But I’m sure all the other things you do into todays world for a fabulous mommie and beautiful and classy style…cooking and cleaning and make a home healthy and happy! Keep it up love, Kat

[@WithLoveKristina]

Haha no?? I’ve never said that! Someone asked what I’d do if he *wasnt* into it so that’s the thumbnail of a video, but he likes vintage too! He likes my style and his own style ranges from 50s to 80s depending on the occasion.

[@thetimelesscostumemaker1266]

Your hair turned out lovely! I am glad to hear frizz is historically accurate because I have been doing my hair in wet sets for years with out issue until I hit menopause a couple years ago. It doesn't matter how I curl it or the products I use now my hair comes out frizzy, and the more I brush it the worse it gets. If you find anything in any of your books about menopausal hair I would love to hear about it.

[@richellmcknight446]

The brush is the problem- I have long curly hair, I NEVER use a brush, only a comb, a pick, and my fingers! Also a lightweight spray gel, like the one from Aussie, is the perfect finishing product, along with a diffuser on your hair dryer!😊❤

I'm a Baby Boomer. My mother wore her hair like Elizabeth Taylor and Queen Elizabeth II in the 1950s until the late '60s. Then she went for a more modern style, teased and sprayed, done in the salon every week.

[@kandacek63]

Try brushing under your hair in the back so it curls around the brush.

[@IGaveUpEternalLifeForCoffee]

I’m wondering how you deal with your hair getting oily between washing? I have to wash my hair every day. I’ve tried training it to go longer between washing with no success. It never adjusts. I’ve seen old videos from the era where they wash their hair once every two weeks!

[@WithLoveKristina]

I don’t really get oily hair so I can’t help out here I’m sorry! I have a pretty dry scalp and only need to wash my hair once a week. My mom also has really oily hair and she hair had to give in and wash every other day. But this kind of routine isn’t too hard to do 2X a week if you wanted to!

[@mcwjes]

I get oily hair and do vintage curls. Before I go to bed, I hit my curlers with hairspray. In the morning I use dry shampoo and a lighter hairspray. The combination of the two seem to soak up whatever oil trying to form. I get a good three days on one setting. It is a lot of product, but it's still got a good shine.

[@richellmcknight446]

You use a product to soak up the oil from your scalp- fine clays, baby powder( preferably without talc), or even cornstarch- you put it in at the roots and gently puff it into your scalp then leave it for awhile, even overnight, and brush it out. That's the only way I know to actually rid yourself of the oil without washing it😊❤

[@Xxxxxx19-p1c]

Just what I’ve been looking for! But I think my hair is too long.
