I Tried WILD Hair Gadgets from the 90s (WHAT were we THINKING?)

[@SPW1031W]

As a fellow 90s kid, I didn't realize how much I needed this video. 😂 It brought me so much joy. 😊❤

[@kate1618]

so much this. I never had those (except for the spiky head band for a very short time) but knew all of them.

[@MJohannaS89]

For the hair slap bracelet thing, you sandwich the hair between the two parts then use that to hold it while you wrap (think curling iron) then twist the slap bracelet into shape

[@Miakaniimo]

Were about to comment that. I remember them being fun to play with but not wear outside the house XD

[@Lynniebug]

This! We use these for perfect ballet buns on my girls!!

[@ItsJustLisa]

I had the fabric and wire versions from the late 80s. You rolled the hair up (over or under) and secured the bun by twisting the ends together.

[@jmwblue]

I came to the comments to say this, but knew in my heart it had already been said.

[@hk316pea]

I was yelling at my tv “ that’s not how you use it!” 😂😅

[@sweetness371]

Not only did I have the Topsy Tail... but my parents bought it for me from the infomercial! I remember feeling so cool that I had a real "as seen on TV" product.

[@Lizmacleod324]

Yes the spiky hair band unclasped they always have

[@jillianburke2]

Yes I was going to say that too

[@ellisarandles9186]

Yep, always unclasped, I probably still have mine in a box somewhere 😂

[@krysb25]

I still have a few of mine! Every once in a while, I pull mine out and wear them again. I have always loved the look and mine are fairly comfortable.

[@brandi524]

Yup. You left it closed to put in and opened it to take it out but mostly you were lazy and tried to just pull it out.

[@CheriJ11]

⁠and as someone with curly hair, it always got caught in my hair, tangled it up and caused a painful mess!

[@nitsirkroy]

Omg the video on ur insta of doing Caroline’s makeup as just a lil kiddo and then for her wedding had me in tears 😊

[@kimbee3083]

Banana clips in the 80’s was my jam!😂

[@tinaraulerson7510]

I had the topsy tail, the hairigami, and the headband. So many memories. Now you just need to really throw back with the 'sleep in them all night' curlers and my school hair experience is complete.

[@kileyradovich7618]

Lo is literally glowing!!! She looks so gorg! And honestly i think rachel should wear her hair like this all the time its so cute

[@nitsirkroy]

There were so many moments where I could see you look in the mirror and see yourself at like 12 and just feel pure glee …. Love it!

[@amyshull8263]

As a 44 year old woman, I love this video SO much!

[@StilettoPunch]

The bun one sandwiches the hair at the end, then you roll it up.

[@mariannetaylor4549]

Came here to say this.

[@_rockseeker]

I was born in 1990 and this absolutely brought me back! I had the flat iron/crimper and the twisty thing! I wanted the hair jewel stamper so bad. This whole video is giving 90s girl who came back from her tropical vacation and I love it lol

[@ErinChamberlain-r3x]

Oh man. Now I need a dang 80's hair gadget video! I was a tween and then teen in the mid-late 80's We used to use this thing called a banana clip and oh man. So, so cool. I actually wish those would make a come back.

[@Kayla_Kimbrell]

Can we all get together with a ton of blow up chairs, all these gadgets, and a ton of barbies and collage stuff and have a sleep over?! Pleeease!! I NEED a good girly 90s slumber party in my life!

[@nez82]

As an 82 model this made my heart so happy! 😁😍 When you said puff paint a core memory was unlocked!!!

[@WinterIsWelcome]

Thank you for asking… 😉 Loved the nostalgia of these hair gadgets. The topsy tail still comes in handy for me for doing more elaborate updos….

[@kcjr2323]

I was born in '71 and have 90s babies. I have used all of these at some point in time. This was such a fun episode. I want you to use the crimper and do your whole head for a video. 😆

[@DreamweavrHairDesign]

The twist/rope braid is VERY easy to do. You just twist both strands to one direction and then twist them the opposite direction. So twist them to the right, then cross them over each other to the left. The crossover ensures the twist stays twisted like a rope. Hopefully that helps

[@shae113]

yes! My family couldn't afford the tool, but we saw the commercials during Saturday morning cartoons, so I figured out how to do the twist braids by hand!

[@DreamweavrHairDesign]

@@shae113 that’s awesome

[@cydvicious88]

8:55 THAT! Holy moly that brings back memories!

[@Hallie-v4v]

I remember all of these! I loved the topsy-tail tool but I put my ponytail through it first then poked it down and pulled through. I used to have super thick hair and that made it work for me.

[@user-zt2sr5fh4c]

Congratulations Caroline!! 👰‍♀️💍🤍

[@karenprinz5987]

This was THE best blast from the past ever. Made my day!

[@Kattleyah]

I rarely comment but this video was so wonderful. The memories. I only ever had the Topsy Tail, but always wanted the Crimper. Please do more of those. Doesnt have to be hair related, but I live for the 90s nostalgia.

[@lynnbidlack5978]

Not only did we cut out magazine stuff for our agendas...we also seemed to use colored duct tape and wrote song lyrics everywhere....ahh the 90's were such joy!! Please do more 90's inspired videos to bring back my childhood

[@nataliehamer2930]

oh my goodness I remember all of these hair gadgets! Also, the scrunchies with the fake hair to give you a messy bun. Those were the days

[@kristanricketts]

I was a "vegas valley clogger" (i legit clog danced in those windbreakers the kids have as a costume nowadays) but one year, I think for our Disney performance, had a claw clip pony and a scrunchy one like you remember. But I was a "sun in for hair, baby oil for skin" raised by a cali beach bum dad (i sure miss him) so the hair would always be a drastic color difference than show hair 😂 but it'd only start when the clearly fake hair peice started 😂😂😂 That hair peice is still at my step-mom house, I think lol

[@caroleberreur9585]

The twisty machine!! 😮 OMG I wanted this so much. Refused.😢 so I had to learn to do it manually (not difficult actually). 😅

[@caroleberreur9585]

For it not to come undone, you twist two equally divided sections in the same way (so not twisted towards or away from each other), THEN, you twist them together but towards each other/away from each other. It holds! 😅

[@jhallsy3]

Lo looks so beautiful! She is just glowing! Loved this video, the nostalgia lol 😆

[@moniquefrank8533]

I used that twisty thing on all my Barbie’s hair before I learned how to braid. I always called the pony tail looper a topsy turvy like what Low called it. A big thing I remember was making friendship bracelets with embroidery string. There was also a way to make them in your hair and they would stay all summer until you cut them out

[@scjayne6652]

The 90’s is the reason I now NEVER have my hair entrapped in any torture device. Our parents were not kind to us on photo day.

[@lkm763]

I still have my original topsy tail and still use it to do a cute bun thing with my hair if I want a change from a French braid/claw clip look. I always get compliments when I do it.

[@lisafowler5245]

I did indeed live through it. Once as a teen with the one that braided with beads. Then as a young mom with little kids. Seeing it through their eyes - magical.

[@michellea.9853]

OH MAN!! I know all of these!!! 😂😂😂 I can still feel some of these and I absolutely have some hidden in boxes. LOVE THIS VIDEO! Thank you for the memories!!!

[@SingerBabyJay]

The 90's!!!!!!!!!! ❤Love ❤love ❤love!!!!!! I was definitely using some of these things for sure 😄👍 So cool!! Thanks for doing a video like this! Very nostalgic ❤ Congratulations on your wedding Caroline!!! Many blessings ❤

[@karenlol2690]

Yes please would like to see what dress you chose for the wedding

[@tiffanymoore3182]

I still use my Topsy tale but that accordian hair band with my preteen curls was a nightmare. It didn't stay on my head like promised (no headband does, my head must be weirdly shaped)

[@jleighwolfe]

I also have a head that absolutely refuses to hold any kind of stretchy headband. Slide right off.

[@sabrinadavis8355]

Girl, the vertigo i got when you said "puffy paint on jean jackets" 😂❤

[@QueenOfTheNerds515]

I was an early 90s baby and I still have my topsy tail. I feel like all of us wanted that braider/ hair wrapper so badly. I remember wanting it for Christmas but never got it.

[@julieschinkel]

Crimpers were really big in the 80s. I had one and always crimped my hair until I got an 80s perm 😂😂😂 I had one of those topsy things too and still do have one (not the original I broke that one 😂). Banana clips were a huge trend too but you needed a perm or shorter hair to make them work. Again 80s but they spilled over into the early 90s. So many memories!

[@missmaxwell7893]

This is as exciting as wanting the Clarissa explains it all telephone 😂😂 thank you for taking me nostalgically back 😅

[@thumbsarehandy.]

12:56 I unironically used my old Conair Quick Wrap within the last 6 months. 😂 I LOVE that thing - I used it all the time back in the day.

[@naomimallory]

I totally used the topsy tail as a 90s kid ... and still use one multiple times a week on my own kids 😂 They're actually really great for feeding in the synthetic hair or ribbons into styles!

[@stephaniejenkins4163]

This is one of my favorite videos from you!! Maybe you could do a vintage series…..gadgets, kitchen gadgets etc! ❤

[@kellyj528]

This was fun to watch! Yay for Lo being back!

[@iamkateo]

OMG that two second shot of the 2000s agenda just brought. me. back 😂

[@rogueshadows4664]

I love how Lo and Dibs both said "give me 14 right now" but in different videos. Lo about the hair gems, Dibs about the dyson hair product XD

[@Holly_hamigakiko]

Loved this! Butterfly clips!

[@QueenKarissa]

Loved these 90s products, this was such a fun video!! What about a 2000s one, like ‘bump it’ era items?

[@Laurel608]

I only used the ponytail topsyturvy thing but I really enjoyed your and Lo’s reminiscing!

[@jamiejazz8194]

I had a pink crimper and tons of banana clips. Oh and my fav, my John Caruso steam roller set, also in pink. And I was a permed hair gal with bangs two inches high 😂. Do you remember the Trapper Keeper binders?? Best binders ever! And the Braun butane curling iron 🤣.

[@jordynp917]

Born in '91 so I definitely felt nostalgic for most of these gadgets but never actually owned any of them! I think the topsy turvy was before my time though because that one was brand new to me!

[@loonybinreject]

Oooo. I think my crimper back in the day was an in between size. However ive seen a resurgence in crimping but a microcrimp to increase volume in the roots or to give more grip when doing braided hairstyles.

[@amandaheath5219]

I had the hair twister but it was Mary Kate and Ashley brand. I also had their straightener that had normal plates, crimp plates, wavy plates, and velvet plates.

[@kittykat8110]

I swear, between you, Hopescope and Mia Maples. My childhood heart is always happy during these types of videos. 🥰🥰🥹

[@dundonoz]

LOVING THIS! fancy hair tools were out of our reach - although we bullied mum into buying a topsy tail late one night & used it every single day!

[@heathermiller1759]

Did all those for my daughter. She is 31 now and always talks about them. So going to show her this video, she'll love it.

[@BreezyRenee333]

I can feel the hair ripping out of my head 😭😂

[@danskerenflomme]

The fliped ponytail would be perfect with a pretty claw clip 😍

[@jacyandjasonweaving1945]

Fun tip - use the smallest topsy tail to wrap a ponytail in hair. Put the hair into the hair tie (band?) and then slide the topsy tail pointy side down into the actual ponytail holder so it’s hanging out with your hair. Then take a small piece of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around to cover the tie. Then thread it through the loop on the topsy tail and pull the hair back down through the ponytail holder. Easy way to dress up a pony. I use mine once a week. I love that we’re cool again.

[@heathersplants5708]

As a girl born in the 80s, I remember all of these, and yes, I still have quite a few of them, actually most of the ones you showed, lol. And yes, the loose comb headband thing did come apart back then.

[@donnaburnerslone]

As a retired Hairstylist, I love this video & have used these products many times. Use to use my daughter as my Guinea pig 😂

[@Cassmede]

Incredible to see these are still made!!!! I didn't get any of these sadly. But I had the hair spike headband. My god. I found one from my childhood recently and still sooo painful. HOW DID WE WEAR THESE ALL THE TIME!!! I have super thick hair like Lo but dang they sucked

[@heidie8760]

Had that crimper, the topsey tail, and the brown plastic head band in the 80s. I don't remember the hair band opening then, either. Fun video!

[@LollipopsNFists]

I was in grade school in the 90s and this def brought back memories. I wanted a crimper soooo bad lol but I did have the twister!

[@CrystalFier]

I still have my hairigami from back in the day! Still use it when I need a pretty updo. Also I bought a twist machine, similar to that one, a couple of years ago, just for an easier way to style my curly hair. There's definitely a learning curve to using one again, but it does make doing a full twist out a lot faster.

[@kimplumb2456]

The threader is meant to wrap around the hair entirely and not do a spiral or a tinsel. It meant to slow you go slowly down to wrap all your hair under the thread.

[@jleighwolfe]

I used to thread wrap my hair manually. I always did it friendship bracelet style, where you knot it around the hair. Kinda wanna bring that back rn

[@ohwhatmarvelousthings]

Omg the packing tape collages! I did that all the way through college. No shame.

[@idontwantyoutoseeme2087]

'91 definitely had the crimper but in purple! Had the handband weapon but mine did come apart but I still kept them together anyway lol. I don't think I had any of the others but I remember watching the infomercials and wanting them lol. My mom did get me the fancy parting comb though!

[@Pamela-su1hh]

Oh my goodness, this is giving me flashbacks! Also, I’m now thinking longingly about my Bedazzling days..I vote you do a testing 90s toys video!

[@Waterflame]

I still have the original, red, Topsy Tail!! I stopped using it when I cut my hair short, but I will never give it up!!

[@MakeItMagical27]

I’m 29 and I still wear some of these 😂 topsy tail is great!

[@JessieCaskie]

Topsy tail thing. The booklet that came with it. I remember it when I was little girl!

[@luvtinamc]

I had the twisty hair thing. I loved it so so so much!

[@xoxostaci]

😂 “many of these I wanted for Christmas” … me too Rachel, me too. #80sBaby

[@julieanderson1179]

I have two daughters and I did their hair with all of them, brought back so many memories with my girls😊❤

[@kristencavallari5490]

This made my 90 kids heart so happy 😂

[@chasitym.4949]

The bun maker is my favorite. I used that all the time for my kids for dance. You put the hair in the middle, roll it up and snap it to make the bun

[@sallycain3716]

I have just bought a fixed hair band with the teeth on and hair clips have been huge in the UK this summer. I loved my crimper in the 1980s!

[@carolinec5010]

I used to love hairigami! I have really thick hair that's very "slippy" so it was great at keeping it in place. I didn't realize it still exists and will probably grab one now.

[@km3534]

Tell me you're a fellow yinzer without telling me you're a fellow yinzer 🖤💛🖤💛

[@Melymelymelmel]

I 100% had the hair twister threader and used it ALLLL the time in elementary school. The threader is to do like a hair wrap. You would go slower when pulling down and the thread wraps pretty tightly. My Dad would leave me leave them in for a few days and they would still come out pretty easily

[@ForeverTrueLove49]

Im pretty sure i laminated *everything* with packing tape in my youth lol! I still find myself sometimes when I'm crafting for the fun of it... 'oh, ill just cover it in packing tape, it will stay and be waterproof' 😂

[@bmarissa1399]

I was living through you both! I remember all these... My daughter is 10 and I actually want to find one of those hair twisters for her. ( and me😉)

[@melanieross7950]

My favorite hair gadget ever as a kid/teenager was the Conair geometrics. It was a curling iron that did crimping, spiral curls, triangle, curls, straightener, and I think it even had an oval shaped tool. I honestly regret ever getting rid of it! I believe that styling tool was more like late 80s because I had it when I was in middle school.

[@jenniferp7640]

Just relived a lot of my 90s! And I always wanted that twisty thing!

[@leolacampbell8736]

I loved the topsy tail and the crimper. I wanted the hair twister thing, but never got it

[@DaniGreenfairy]

We couldn't get the topsy tail where I live so my grandma made one and it worked just as well 😊 I still have the comb headband! And yes they always opened.

[@amandabkayb]

I came here to say this. We used a straw and stapled it together! Still effective.

[@cassiaprice5741]

Wanted the Topsy tail so bad but parents wouldn’t get it for me so I made my own with craft pipe cleaners! Worked like a charm and didn’t cost a thing!!

[@jackielou26]

I still have and use the topsytail! Love that thing!

[@natalias.1561]

LO IS BACK we missed her so much

[@DanielaMiszezun]

The spikey hair thing... yes!!! Stabbing with that was a bit painful and fun.

[@kittykat8110]

I topsy ponytail thing was one of my loves! But then I just learned to do it without the stick. Lol

[@lindsyehagens1373]

Love this. Definitely still want the twisty one and my 3 year old would love it if only her hair would grow faster!

[@HobbitzMoth23]

Welcome Back Lo !!! 🎉😊

[@GracefulAnswers]

Memories! I never had any of those except the topsy tail (still have one!) as those were the JAM! My mom thought my hair would tangle with the others but now I want that braid thing! I remember the commercials! So many fun colors and tweens on the screen giggling. Just $19.99 plus shipping! (Insert 1800 number) lol what a fun video! I could see your joy!!

[@olkak3416]

Even though I'm from Europe and was born in the 90s most of these was my dream as a kid. So many memories like getting ready for some party, at that time you would rock with a hair like that

[@dorianmeyette8560]

The 13-year-old version of me was squealing with delight when you got to the hair twisty thing. I always wanted one!!!

[@nightflower5164]

3:14 oh yes those headbands hurt. You could look into those zig zag metal headbands (not plastic), they're wayyy more comfy and give the same style. They don't hurt either! I love mine. Look them up! :)

[@hannahdonor4670]

The Conair Quick Bead commercial lives rent free in my head 😂

[@heidibigelow2278]

Loved this. Your amazing blast to watch. 🎉

[@christinel3629]

THIS WAS THE FUNNEST VIDEO!! ❤❤

[@rondaks3757]

You and your daughter are going to have a blast with this! It makes me wish my daughter was younger, Lol.
