I Tried to Recreate 1940's Hairstyles

MAKE THIS A SERIEEESSSS

[@rachelmaksy]

😊😊😊

[@whossoul]

That's exactly what I was thinking! I loved it!

[@sharonhughes588]

YES!!!!! What a fun and great thought!!! Really enjoyed this...thanks!

[@TheNemesister]

I Agree. This was one of my favourites!

[@phoenixwillington7329]

Karolina Żebrowska I totally agree 😂

[@erikaserika]

The first one looked amazing! Also, it would be fun to see you take an old photo of a family member (like a grandma) and recreate it down to the fine details!

[@rachelmaksy]

Omg what a good idea!!

[@raraavis7782]

Shaina Erika That’s an amazing idea! I recently looked at old family pictures with my sister in law and I was amazed at how much I look like my mother when she was young. She even had a similar taste in clothing as me, it seems. I have a picture of her in a canary yellow jumpsuit that’s exactly the kind of ‚in your face‘ garment I love 😎

[@tortthesnort6759]

I've done this with old pictures of my grandma! She and I were always close, and it was cool to see how similar we are!

[@showfallen]

i want to see this!

[@rachelmaksy]

Hullo hulloo! A couple things: 1. I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH THIS so let me know if you liked it! and 2. The volume definitely would have been easier to achieve if I had teased my hair, but because I knew I was doing multiple hairstyles (and because I suck at it and always end up snarling my hair), I decided not to. Okay das it I love youuUUU!

[@annakathvd2203]

losing the fight with gravity - vintage hairstyles in a nutshell :D well at least for me

[@LizVonVillas]

Rachel! A lot of ladies used rats to achieve volume. You can make them with hair from your hairbrush so they will match your hair and hide better :) I have some and they do indeed look kinda gross haha but they work! And not as much teasing necessary!

[@rachelmaksy]

Yeeep! I know hehe, I just wanted to see if I could do these with just my normal hair but am definitely gonna use some in my next go-around!

[@LizVonVillas]

Aw darn. I had meant to say "I'm sure you know about them" but I got too excited and submitted my comment too soon! I loved this video and I would absolutely love more. You've inspired me to try some different styles!

[@whossoul]

I loved it, please make more!

[@morgan32]

I don't know how vintage beauties could do some of these hairstyles before work or school, I feel like it would take me four hours to get ready in the morning haha. Great job, i'd love to see more!

[@rachelmaksy]

Right??! Same hahaha! I see some really glam yearbook photos and I'm like DAMNNN GIRL

[@fragmentsofanusha]

Maybe they did fancy styles specifically for yearbook day.

[@whossoul]

I think a lot of it is practice. I've got hair looks that I have done so many times it takes me less than 5 minutes to do now, and people see and ask how long it took. There's lots of similarities between different 1940's/50's looks, and it's all about learning how to work with the curls and create rolls. Once you have those skills down, all the different looks are just about how you arrange things. Like anything, it just takes practice, and eventually it goes a lot faster.

[@Carpathianpixie]

I think most of them used a bucket of pomade or a whole can of hairspray to keep it together, lol

[@MamaMOB]

Great name!

[@emmadrazkowski4775]

if i brushed my hair that much after curling it it would be dead straight after about 3 times

[@Catbirdmom2]

It’s the wet set. Brushing is the key. You brush and brush and brush. It’s what gets the curls to meld. Then it’s teased and brushed more.

[@natasha-ut7si]

My hair does not curl, no matter what. Brushing it would make it straight again.😫😫😫

[@TherealHRHMarissa]

My aunt would wet set my cousins’ hair in foam rollers and it would still go straight quickly. So I can witness that there are rare exceptions.

[@charliewise2988]

omg same its so annoying XD

[@TheBusyJane]

I have hair like that. The answer is styling cream! I use one from Andalou Naturals and now have the curls of my dreams. Sun Bum has one that was recommended to me but haven't tried it yet. Lotta Body makes setting lotion which is supposed to be the best, but they're not cruelty free and I am. Set hair damp, applying cream to each section as you go. In the morning brush to your heart's content and style. My curls last until next wash if I reroll them dry at night or soften into waves after a couple days if I don't. You can also spray each curl with a little light hold hairspray after you take the roller out but let dry completely before brushing.

[@WithLoveKristina]

Second style: I think you needed to start the roll at a different angle. Starting it at the side means you’ll have looser hair there, because... basically your hair will sit at the angle you roll it. So rolling from a side angle means most of your poof will be on the side. If you start from straight up it MIGHT work better. I have to test this but I *think* that’s how I’ve made those kinds of rolls successful before. Not done watching. Brb with more comments. Hehe I looove this video already.

[@rachelmaksy]

Maybe, I like how it came out though haha. This was just for fun ❤️

[@WithLoveKristina]

Haha, I forgot to add I like how it came out too! But, if you ever do it again that might help make it easier to deal with. I just know my hair is super particular about how it's rolled and certain angles mean they never turn out right.

[@karlsmcjarls]

when she said, "I'm sweating" all I could think of was the line Penny said from Hairspray, "MY MOTHER SAYS IM NOT ALLOWED TO PRESPIRE"

[@bubblerose292]

Lol

[@lunalimi9798]

Do you have a movie referece for every situation

[@rachelmaksy]

YOU KNOW IT. 😎

"I look like Kenickie." Made me crack up - another great video, Rachel!

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahahaha just need me a hot rod and a douchey attitude 😂

[@whossoul]

I know it was hilarious! Personally I was living for the greaser look on a glam girl!

[@dianabuck7310]

I liked the Duckie reference even more.

[@littlepeachbunny9564]

Was just at a vintage fair yesterday in Glasgow and omg one of the venders had the most stunning perfect victory rolls i think ive ever seen, meanwhile my hair was a floppy beehive mess 😂

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahaha I feel that! 😂

[@littlepeachbunny9564]

The Pinup Companion thanks for making me feel better bout my floppy do 💖😂

[@fishy527]

Omg where was the vintage fair in Glasgow?! I didn't know that was a thing we did lol

[@littlepeachbunny9564]

Jordyn yeah they have them every year in the briggate, look for them on facebook!

[@fuckwit107]

Hello fellow Scot!

[@BionicBinary]

I'd love to see you do a cosplay of Lady Tremaine from Cinderella.

[@rachelmaksy]

Hehehe the original bad biottcchhh

[@adrianachong9029]

Also the last one was giving Queen of Hearts ♥️. Vibe ala Bonham Carter.

[@hurraynature7449]

I love this. You should make this a challenge for other vintage KZbinrs. Have them try to recreate hair styles from pictures that they don't normally do

[@SuperMsPharmacy]

♥"There's a science to this, and I don't know what it is" love that. Totally my life right now.

[@sirenelectric143]

You trying these new hairstyles is literally me every time I want to try something new with my hair...and very getting viciously reminded of why I stick to my routine and my old ways 😂

[@MAKEOVERGUY]

You may know this, but I think having a comb-out brush from the era would help.

[@cocoacutie3338]

GIIIIIIRL i smell a viral video! This was such a good idea!! Also.....I presented that picture of Betty Grable as a reference for my desired prom hair circa 2010....when my hair was to my hips. Needless to say, 14 year old me learned that wasn't going to work out pretty fast 😂 My victory rolls were the size of my head lmao

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahaha oh no!!! 😂❤️❤️❤️

[@helenavanhoutte7272]

Stopping with studying because the Queen just uploaded. Thank you so much for this stress relieve and being such a cutie.

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee awww yay!

[@littleharpist7478]

simplyme I also am watching this lovely video during a study break! I hope your studying is going well 😘😘

[@helenavanhoutte7272]

Mim Osa better than I thought it would, hope yours is going alright 💓💓

[@honestlynope6599]

Oh my goodness, so many giggles! You did better than I ever could! My hair is either flowing in the wind, in a pony tail, or messy bun! Loved your video, as usual ❤

[@rachelmaksy]

Heeehee thank you my love!

[@ShirleyShortcake]

Love the ace Ventura reference 😂

[@rachelmaksy]

Hehehehe ❤️❤️

[@hummbird69]

All the 80's references/comparisons were totally awesome! ;)

[@backgroundcharacter2615]

I love the old music that plays in this, it’s so relaxing and I feel like I’m time traveling I love how you do this!

[@nomorelittlemonkeys]

I busted up when you broke into song like Ducky from pretty in pink!! One of my faves! You are hilarious! Perfect for Monday morning!

[@rachelmaksy]

Hehehe he's the best!!! Thank you my love!

[@matthewhood7844]

As I watch this Monday morning five years later, i agree.

[@hcliffy124]

As tricky as the second hairstyle was at doing, it looked so good in the end!! I think the real champ in this video is your arms for not going totally numb on you. 💪💪 I feel like after trying to do one ponytail my arms are trying to give out on me!

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you so much my love! And oh man I'm pissed I'm not BUFF after this 😂😂

[@dedbaka]

I love how you're so into vintage while being in the "know" about modern going ons....I was not expecting a Steve Harrington reference, and IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT. 👏🏻😅 (Glad to know we all love Steve.)

[@subscriberswithoutanyvideosexp]

the first one looks so damn good on you! 😍

[@rachelmaksy]

Ahh thank you lovely!!

[@subscriberswithoutanyvideosexp]

your welcome, sweetness!

[@MolliLostInMakeup]

The duckie reference I'm crying yes

[@rachelmaksy]

Hehehehehe

[@elle-iza]

"I'm just gathering all of that hair in a general shape." Jep. That pretts much sums up my atempts of styling my hair very nicely. :)

[@DanielleStJohn]

My two unsolicited cents: in that last style, I feel like maybe letting those front bang-area curls be a little floofier might help to balance the hugeness of the sides. Almost like doing the poodle/Lucille Ball style you did the tutorial for, but with the side front areas being in those most victorious of rolls. Regardless, these are so neat and I absolutely agree with Karolina - SERIES YES PLZ.

[@sheilas1283]

That was hilarious! I love all your little asides and, of course, Frodo’s ‘comments’ are priceless! 😀

[@rachelmaksy]

Hehehe thank you so so much love!!

[@ClashexGames]

You're the perfect mix between classy and a downright comedian! I'm 16 and I want to dress vintage and live a 40's lifestyle so badly but I can't yet because I'm broke and because of high school. You're an inspiration to me!

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee thank you so much my love!

[@jadef2771]

The Steve Herrington intro 😂😂👌

[@samsamalakasam]

you probably know this already, but, victory rolls are a lot easier if you tease and spray it with like one spray of hairspray for some "grab" it so you can basically just shape it to whatever shape you want and smooth it after. It also gives something for the pins to hold onto and makes it a little less precarious. we did a whole course on vintage styles when I was in beauty school =) also, when combing them out, start at the ends of your hair and work up, don't just go in from the top. It only snarls it more and causes breakage. It also sets the tangle more if you get it wet. so gently combing from the bottom up when dry will get it out much faster and easier =) I found your channel today and have been binge watching it. I love you and your style. I've been trying to add more vintage style into my wardrobe for a while. I've always been drawn to the 40's and 50's kind of pinup style dress and hair. =)

[@desiraegarcia8015]

I am shook. So many hair styles with amazing first time tries! 🤓🤗

[@rachelmaksy]

Heeheee thank you my lovely!!

[@marygustavson7219]

I like looking back at your older videos, seeing how far you’ve come along, and how much easier long hair is to work with!

[@mineldenizkalntas1072]

I think that I'm in love in your hair!

[@rachelmaksy]

Hehehe why thank yuh!

[@isabelc.betancur394]

[@holocoffin]

I enjoyed this so much and because you don't try to be perfect and you have fun with it, you make vintage styles look more approachable and less intimidating. Let's face it, back then they probably had just as much fun and trouble getting their beauty routine together because we're all human! Thanks for sharing!!

[@lailinshale]

"There's a science to this, and I don't know what it is!" LOL

[@nancymills1884]

I have so enjoyed this. My Mom would shampoo her hair at work, pin curl it not brush it out until the next morning. Once I turned 12 she had me doing the pin curls. I recall all these styles... and I still love the class of them.

[@merej9292]

Hi, I'm new to your channel and I love your content! Since back-combing wasn't an option for this video, I was thinking that you could make a series out of this, attempting one style at a time so that you can really give it your all. I would watch it! 😊

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you!! I kinda like doing a bunch of styles all at once hehe! I think next time I'm gonna use hair rats so I can kinda skip the backcoming but still get the volume 😊😊

[@merej9292]

The Pinup Companion that's a great idea! I'm horrible at doing my hair, so I appreciate videos like this. Thanks for getting back to me !

[@janecheer]

I thought I was watching just another hair tutorial but then I laughed till I started crying, and when I started crying, I hit the subscribe button. Rachel, you're a gem! Greetings from Russia :)

Heehehee aww thank you love!!!

Thank you beauty! ❤️

I just love going back and watching your older videos. I had a tough work week and came upon this gem. I laughed so much. Thank you.

[@theavidpatient]

Ooh girl! Love that you sit around trying new hair styles. I do that as well! Thanks for making another video. : ]

[@rachelmaksy]

I don't do it nearly as much as I should! Thank YOU lovely!

[@johnreynolds6074]

I'm amazed how well you were able to replicate the styles. Makes one appreciate what my mother's generation went thru compared to the generations since 1960. Nice video

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you! It really puts things into perspective!

[@Hikejunkies]

Yaaay a new vintage hair video!

[@rachelmaksy]

Ahh thank you my love! and did you SEE the Duckie hairstyle? Doesn't get more 80's than that so I feel you! Hahahaha

[@emmacole1857]

I suggest doing bigger sections and rolling not super tightly! The Freckled Princess has a great foam roller tutorial that helped me a lot!

[@Hikejunkies]

The Pinup Companion haha my hair was much worse than that! Hahaha!😂But I don’t give up. Tonight I will try again🤗

[@Hikejunkies]

Emma Cole Thankyou! I going to watch that tonight! 🤞🏻

[@octoberghoul31]

You look so amazing! Please make a series out of this video, with hairstyles from the 30s, 50s, 60s, and so on. Love xoxo

[@rachelhaney7401]

Loved this video! The last one was my favorite.

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee thank you love!

[@elyjhaannewolfe833]

In browsing old articles and bits I have found that many victory rolls would be filled with hair collected from the hairbrush warped in a netting, or a full extra braid. I hope that helps. This video was really fun!

[@rachelmaksy]

Yusss! They're called hair rats and people used to make their own hehe! I wasn't really going for complete accuracy here, just wanted to mess around 😊

[@katecancreate1053]

Back combing would be so helpful in these helps fight gravity and undesired fluff :) not helpful when doing multiple styles n one go though 😘 xx

[@rachelmaksy]

Totally! That's why I didn't do that, also I'm horrible at it 😂😂😂

[@katecancreate1053]

Absolutely brightened my day in any case you've inspired me in so many ways pursuing vintage fashion and having the confidence to wear it daily x

[@katecancreate1053]

The Pinup Companion practice makes perfect I have the luxury of being a hairdresser and practicing on others the easiest way I find is to hold one clean section and comb directly down remove the comb and repeat, less snarls and knots that way but alllll the volume!

[@rachelmaksy]

I gotta try dat!! Thank yuh!

[@greylarkspur]

Haha, I commented on one of Karolina Zebrowska's videos about how cool it would be to do something like this a few months ago, and here you are, reading my mind and making the day a little brighter! As usual, you look fantastic!

[@rachelmaksy]

Yussssss I love her!! Hehe thank you my love!

[@Jadeikens]

I’m crying 😂 this is me every time I try a different style 🤣

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehehehhee😊

[@juliejay5436]

I think that from all the videos I have watched, my absolute favourite is the one you look like Carrie Fisher, like, so crazy similar that I actually thought you were Carrie Fisher herself! That was incredible! Considering you do all the work yourself without makeup artists, hairdresser, designers, etc it's even more impressive!

[@ZzUchihaYurizZ]

Can you do hair from the edwardian time? please

[@rachelmaksy]

Hehehe I could try!!

[@jeremiahgabriel5709]

This human is lovely and hilarious. And learning about vintage hair is always informative (as well as assorted movie references).

[@lisaanderson2900]

DUCKY!!!

[@rachelmaksy]

HEhehe the TRUE STYLE ICON!!

[@kgs42]

Last one looks really nice and stylish. Lots of very swish and sexily elegant updos around 1944-45, seen in films, including combined with turbans.

[@-honeydew-]

I had to leave 6 min after you posted this video, so I watched all of it in 2x speed

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahaha omg that's amazing 😂❤️

[@-honeydew-]

The Pinup Companion thanks 😆

[@aprilshowers6752]

My mother still does her hair 1940's style . There is a slight trick ( or more precisely a underpin to them) probably forgotten now. The hair is cut in a layer at the front , so that it is shorter than the rest to enable the curls and waves to sit properly. Most of us now haven't got that and hair dressers have lost the knack of doing it.

[@rachelmaksy]

That's how I get mine cut! 😊 it's called a middy!

[@mommahinkle3648]

You should make a 1950's housewife video please please please 💖💖💖 you remind me so much of myself haha I'm just as joyfully awkward and in love with the 40s and 50s 💖💖💖

[@missminnievintagious433]

Yes, more of these please! Great fun. Some backcombing would definitely have helped but you did have lots of hair styles to try so teasing would have made the brush out between dos a right pain!

[@andizana]

[@angelbelle717]

😂 you’re adorable

[@rachelmaksy]

Heeheehee thank you my love!

[@missalanaroxx]

The trick to ,all those styles is back combing, also the way you set the curls.

[@autumnbranscome1741]

I just adore you, you are so dang cute

[@rachelmaksy]

Ahh thank you lovely!!

[@CherryGryffon]

For the second one, the pomade/sticky gel/spray would definitely be the make or break. From what I've learned over the years, they would extend the hair like you did right before curling on your finger, and either the hair, or their fingers, would be coated in pomade. That would hold ALL the hair stiffly together while they curled it, so it looked more crisp :D

[@rachelmaksy]

Totally! My ends were super frizzy and fluffy from the curls so it would've definitely helped hahaha. I'll just keep it in mind for next time I try it 😊

[@CherryGryffon]

Totally! I'm in love with your stuff, and considering the lack of pomade, I think you did a stupendous job!

[@catiaborba6539]

This was soooo much fun! You should make it a series for sure, try a few different decades.

[@carolinasassenach8535]

Love this idea! The second look was my fave. Classic 40s to me. If I tried these, I'd look like the Bride of Frankenstein circa 1935. Natural curls and paddle brushes are arch enemies! Thank God for flat irons. Love to you and sweet Frodo ❤

[@fourjays2002]

I love the fact you don't make it look simple and show the struggles

[@zhoratrope5180]

Loved this!!!This would definitely make a cool series! I've learned over the years that teasing is good for volume and a smoothing comb is excellent for making everything, well....smooth. XD I know you didn't tease your hair because you were doing multiple styles, but definitely get a smoothing comb if you plan on doing more rolls or anything that needs volume. It's the best thing I own when it comes to vintage hair styling!

[@rachelmaksy]

Totally gonna try it next time! ❤️❤️

[@smarties5454]

I loved all of them! I’d love to see both 30’s and 20’s styles. You always make me laugh! Can’t wait for more.

Besides having my hair down and putting it in a ponytail, there’s basically nothing I can do with my clumsy as i-don’t-know-what hands. You nailed those amazing hairstyles!!! I enjoyed the video very much. It just made my day. 😊❤️

I tend to be in this habit where I like a video when something makes me smile or laugh and that happened like within the first 10 seconds with the Stranger Things 'Nailed It' bit. I think my favorite though was the Ducky/Kenickie hairdo! This was so much fun to watch! I would love more videos like this

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehehe thank you so much my love!!

[@quirky_trickster_dot]

I was watching your video last night when my husband walked in. He said you reminded him of a very beautiful pinup model and that he can actually picture your face painted on one of those planes like in World War II or whatever. I then showed him your page name and he said it was perfect. We both think that you are an absolutely beautiful lady and we love watching and listening and laughing with you. Keep it up, from a fan in Indiana

[@rachelmaksy]

Ahh oh my gosh you're the sweetest!!! 😭❤️

[@lhachril2629]

Rofl! That was awesome. I loved the Winifred Sanderson comparison. That was right up there with the Big Foot brows. Lol. Loved this video. Thank you for the laugh and the fun hair styles.

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee thank you my love!!

[@katiewright6354]

This video is vintage life.😂 Thank you for showing the struggle of trying to recreate these amazing hairstyles. It was so fun to watch.

[@sassafrasandlemons1634]

I know a lot of the gravity defying hairdos were achieved using rats nests. These were at first bundles of teased hair sewn over a pad to increase the volume of the hair. Later they were foam pads in the color of your hair. You did an amazing job though using just Bobby pins. As always, loved your video!

[@rachelmaksy]

Yes!! I know the last lady deeefinitely used one or two in that style, hahaha. I think I'll try using some next time around! Thank you my love!

[@latelierdelafleur6799]

You did a great job with these, and I think some of them are more flattering than you give yourself credit for (though when you're used to particular styles on yourself, I get that it's hard to gravitate away from them). I'm truly amazed by what you're able to achieve with no backcombing and little to no product in your hair! As someone with like ten hairs total, I'm tres jealousse!

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee thank you so much my love!!!

[@mems6896]

I love how many references you could fit into one hairstyle

I had so much fun watching it! My hair is naturally curly in a way that if you don't brush it for long it starts to curl itself into a nest, but if you do brush it, it looks puffy but straight. So the only brush ever that didn't give me any pain at all was "tangle teaser", I can't imagine how people use regular brushes now, I think of course it might work differently for everybody, but definitely is worth a try, it changed my life :D I don't have enough words to describe the difference that it makes) Also, it's not at all a critique, you did an amazing job with those hairstyles, but it might look better if you sectioned your hair with a sharp end of a flat brush, just because people at that time really cared about accuracy and it looks more cohesive with their hairstyles) but I loved it anyway, thank you so much!

Oooo I'll look into that brush! And yeah I thought about doing the sharp part thing but then didn't really care that much, hahaha. If I was wearing these out I'd put in the extra effort but I knew this whole process was gonna take a while so I just skipped it 😂
