I Tried Using Bendy-Rollers (Finally!)⎢VINTAGE TIPS & TRICKS

[@ravenceed7614]

I’ve live and die by these rollers and have done for years🤘🏼😍 I always sleep in them, one of the only things that work amazing for my long hair. A tip for a quicker and easier style put your hair in a pony and just roll the ends x

[@MissBeeTownsend]

Such a good tip! I'll try this. I can see an easy 50s Barbie hairdo with the curly fringe in my future haha!

[@amillionangels]

Love how confident and bubbly you are in this video you absolutely killed it!!

[@MissBeeTownsend]

Thanks darling! Xx

[@callemorgan]

Absolutely loved this! Turned out so beautiful! Will have to try these now! Yes, would love to see another haircut video!🥰

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Oooo such pretty waves! I’m going to have to try these.

[@MissBeeTownsend]

I'd love to see your results Laci!

[@ashleybonanno3043]

KA-POW!! That's the curl I've been wanting for my head!! 😊

[@MissBeeTownsend]

Yes! They give a fantastic curl!

[@ashleybonanno3043]

@MissBeeTownsend I've been chasing those spiral curls since the late `80's when I was using hot rollers🤭!

[@sarahcoleman6827]

Love the format of this video! Definitely chat more haha. The speak-singing/ always making noise thing is so relatable to me and honestly I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t like it? 😂 In terms of your tutorial, it was super good and v informative as is your style, but I think it’d be really helpful to see the back of your head a little more! Like maybe a little time lapse where we just get to see that as I know when I’m trying to follow along, I always want to see where each curl is placed haha.

[@tiffytattoo2450]

This turned out amazing! I haven't had my hair in retro style for years (rocking a midi in 2014, now I'm back at butt length). You were the final straw to get curling again and living my Lana del Rey fantasy ♡ You vintage girls on the KZbin are all phenomenal, super stunning :)

[@tbagsmorgs]

I LOVE bendy rollers! But they are so uncomfortable to sleep in. I usually will roll my hair in them when it is damp (works best for my hair) and then before bed carefully take them out and then put like the soft rock’n’rollers in so it’s a bit more comfy :)

[@SummerAlleriaWindrunner]

Thank you, I have rollers but no other way to curl my hair- and I wanted waves! This helped me out.

[@lovely.dissolve2272]

i really liked this grwm video, much love ☺️

[@MissBeeTownsend]

I'm so pleased to hear that! Xxx

[@janeodee1677]

I have to use less on the back of the head so I can sleep but otherwise always good. and I have waist length hair, they still curl it.

[@TheGabygael]

I use foam rollers in the back it gives it more structure and it's more comfortable to sleep on also I set it up in the morning so I can take it off in the evening if I want to

[@casandrac6268]

I have been using them and I love them ❤❤

[@noreenphillips1923]

I will be definitely be trying these!

[@MissLorenaWood]

Didn’t know these existed, thanks for the video. I have long hair and think these might be the jam for getting more hair per roller so i don’t run out of space. I get dents in my manicure too! I do mine in the morning so they don’t get grids from my sheets. Noticed it more when I switched to vegan/green polishes but think that’s an okay compromise.

[@ravenceed7614]

They work sooo well for long hair🤘🏼 i’ve used them for years. Lots of different ways you can use them too😍

[@MissBeeTownsend]

I hadn't thought of that but you're so right about the natural polishes. A morning routine is good. They can dry over coffee! Yeah the bendy rollers are definitely good for long hair! And the curl lasted well too fyi!

[@Moonhound1111]

They look good brushed out. I’ve stopped using hear on my hair and using rollers instead

[@saramedina7299]

I've been using the twisty pillow rollers lately, but I've always been curious on the bendy ones. I'll definitely have to give them a go now!

[@MissBeeTownsend]

Oh I want to try those next! They sound great to sleep in....they better not be giving me a false sense of security with the name!

[@saramedina7299]

@@MissBeeTownsend definitely not the most comfortable, unfortunately but as long as you cover up with a nice big scarf they stay put all night and are fairly easy to pop off in the morning. 😊

[@MissBeeTownsend]

Well, that's something at least. I think perhaps there are no comfy hair curling options for sleeping. Except maybe rag curls...

[@Vocodes]

Oh my god please what is this divine red lip?! I've been trying to find one that will look like this, but lipstick is so difficult to buy!

[@MissBeeTownsend]

It's NYX lip liner in Natural with Luvia lipstick in Milano Romance on top xx

[@Vocodes]

@@MissBeeTownsend thank you so so much!!

[@celeste022080]

I had the chance to buy an extra 6 velvet covered hot rollers. Now, I got enough. Sometimes I have leftover rollers sometimes I have none. I do like to use them for de-frizzing my hair which is VERY thick. Then I do pin curling or use a curling iron. Unfortunately, I don't get the same outcome as yours with bendy rollers. In my case, my curls do not last. They quickly smooth out and I get a silky smooth somewhat wavy hair which is nice but not what I want. I have two types of those bendy rollers: the really smooth ones you get at the beauty supply and those inexpensive ones which are a slightly coarse on the surface. I have not used them anymore since it doesn't work with my hair. Bummer! Your hair cut tutorial NAILED with me! I basically used it "to fix" my base haircut which is not exactly a middy haircut but was OK enough to achieve vintage curls and styles. Your video improved my haircut by 200% ! At this rate, I might not need to go back to the hairstylist as I keep it the same length. Please make another video of yourself doing your haircut. Practice makes perfect and once one gets a hang of it, the sky is the limit!

[@maridanez]

Great look. Also, I love that scarf top on you!!!

[@MissBeeTownsend]

Thanks so much! X

[@alexandragatto]

I recognize that scarf from your vintage turban video haha, very versatile!

[@anastasiaroscia4792]

A new curling method I need to try. I wonder if I can sleep in it. Thanks for sharing!

[@MissBeeTownsend]

I will try this weekend! I'll leave a comment here about how it went!

[@debradowling800]

Roll up your pillow so it sits under your neck. Makes all the difference.

[@streetofdreams4538]

Oooh, you got such authentic 40s-looking waves, lovely!! Question #1: How long was the drying time? Question #2: This might sound funny, but do your bendy rollers have the "squeaky" pool-noodle type of foam, like styrofoam, which are the typical pound/dollar store variety, or are they the smooth, grippy sort of foam you see in the more expensive ones like Conair? I'm wondering if you were actually able to get such a pretty set from the cheaper ones!

[@MissBeeTownsend]

Hey! The drying time was about an hour, but it was very hot and that almost never happens. Haha. And they're smooth, but I only know this sort as they're the only ones I've touched or seen in person, so I'm not sure. I got mine from the pound store so they're cheap (£1 per pack of 8).

[@streetofdreams4538]

@@MissBeeTownsend Thanks! Haha, yes, I miss how quickly my hair would air-dry in the summer. I'm looking into getting a modern bonnet hair dryer to speed up things and leave my hands free. (Edited to say I found out vintage hair dryers up till the 70s or so contained asbestos (!!), so I would only look at getting a modern bonnet dryer. Also, I think you have the better quality smooth but grippy foam rollers, which makes sense. Hope I can find some for a reasonable price here!)

[@rodentary]

Side note. Did u make ur shirt out of a scarf? And if yes tutorial plz. 😁 looks like the perfect summer top

[@MissBeeTownsend]

I did! I have this tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6aud4F5iqqAqqs but i should do an update.

[@TheGabygael]

My mum is a former hairstylist (specialised in alkaline permanent from late the 70 to the early 90)and when i bought my hot roller set she told me to get at least two sets (there're 10 in a set it's stupidly not enough she always told me that a full set of curlers should be around 30,that way you can accommodate most heads) and i didn't hear her at that point and i figured that it's a full set and it would be silly to take several, so now i have 10 sad little rollers that i have to compliment with a curling iron (unless I do a late 60s thing and only curl my ends)

[@MissBeeTownsend]

Man, they gotta start selling sets of 30! Hot roller sets these days are the worst!

[@Gingagirl]

Ugh, perfection

[@msgigirogers1559]

Do you know how to do Maureen O'Hara's curls from The Quiet Man? I cant figure out what type of curlers to use, or how to do it😁😂 any advice? I'm trying to dress up as Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen's character) for Maureen's 100th birthday

[@MissBeeTownsend]

Hey! Those gorgeous fluffy 1940s curls can be achieved with both pin curls and sponge rollers. It's largely about the cut tbh. She has a definite long midi cut, which is why it sits like that. X

[@msgigirogers1559]

@@MissBeeTownsend thanks a heap!!! What type of haircut do you have? I'm so not in the beauty world enough 🤣😂

[@ughlucky]

Did you just gently brush the curls out or did you do something extra? The way the ends curl in looks so beautiful :)

[@MissBeeTownsend]

Hi! It's a full vintage brush out. You can find many on my channel for different vintage styles. This one is linked in the description as it is an IGTV tutorial. x

[@MissBeeTownsend]

Hello Anuschka! Always lovely to see your name pop up in my notifications!

[@violetsidhe]

Miss victory violet is amazing and a trained hairdresser. I think I need to try bendy sticks . I wonder if they come in smaller size as my hair is not as long as yours.

[@SorayaOnTheTube]

They do! Poundland might not have them, but primark often do smaller - and bigger sizes

[@MissBeeTownsend]

They're all the same size, as far as I know. I don't think you'd want them smaller tbh. They already create very small curls. On short hair it will be much curlier because the weight won't drag the curl out of the hair. Hope that helps xx

[@MissBeeTownsend]

Really!? Ok. Good to know! Thank you for correcting me!

[@SorayaOnTheTube]

Vintage Tips & Tricks with Miss Bee Townsend However I think you’re right, the standard size you can find in Poundland is the right size for most sets, the small ones are nicer for different eras and the bigger ones almost give you a 70s curly blowout

[@violetsidhe]

I will go maybe to the New Zealand version of poundland lol

[@Tashi-tect]

now I want some bendy rollers

[@TheGabygael]

Until you know how to use them they hurt like hell(if too tight it pulls if not tight enough it hangs heavily) and you won't get a curl (the material take forever to dry and the shape tends to look more like a wave than a curl) but i managed to get it to work once for a soft 80s look and they gave me the coolest messy wave ever (i have flat baby fine really shiny hair so it gave a nice contrast and 80s wet sets look surprisingly edwardian, i can make an gibson bun ranging from late 1890 to early 1920 that looks convincing in ten seconds, which never happens) for earlier styles i prefer using brush rollers they give me the most accurate looking curl in my opinion

[@denisegore1884]

I only use them on the top of my head for sleeping in and pincurl the rest. I find they dig into my head. My next experiment will be knitted hair rollers - when I get the time to make some.

[@MissBeeTownsend]

Oh! I wish I'd heard of knitted rollers at the start of lockdown 😂
