The 1920s Faux Bob | Three Ways

[@pas_du_tout]

My grandmother would've loved to see that this generation of young girls would style their hair this way and not consider it outdated and boring.

[@helenagutierrez284]

I think it's really pretty, and also the opposite of boring! Boring is to wear it straight and untied everyday. What I do have to say is that i get why we don't choose to style our hair. Adding to the fact that it takes a really long time, it's risky to make if you don't have at least a bit of hability With hair, and you could ruin it very easily.

[@xcca891]

How old is ur grandmother wtf

[@christinewalsh3043]

My grandmother was born in 1910. I am in my 20's.

[@theedwardianwriter]

These are so cool! Good tips for if I ever have to do a 20s thing. One of my favourite parts of Downton Abbey was that Edith never cut her hair and just sort of wore it in a bun with finger waves, and I definitely think the second method reflected that excellently!

[@magicattic]

LOL, I was saying this same thing, you beat me to it.

[@ChrisSunHwa]

Actually, you look really cute with the tight ringlets as well as the finished style.

[@mystic_mimi21]

What curling wand do you use in in the market for a one and I see you use it a lot and for a variation of styles

[@glitterstar3333]

my very straight thin hair is not going to like me practicing this every day lol

[@BinaBecker]

Very cute! These faux bobs even had a fun nickname, back in the day: nervous bobs (obviously, for women too nervous to bob their hair in earnest.) If you wanted the look but were too afraid to take the plunge and head out to the barbershop, this was the next best thing. PS: If you have a lot of trouble making the fingerwaves, there's a hack for that, too: Alternate the direction of the clips, so that some point away from your face, and others toward it. This makes sure that the dips and swells of the waves all line up neatly.

[@chenoaholdstock3507]

I KNEW this was possible, but I didn't know how! Thank you!

[@rachelfant7461]

even Rose, the younger socialite cousin has a faux bob.

[@kirstenpaff8946]

Me: Oh, that looks like Dot's hairstyle. Loepsie: A good example of this hairstyle is Dot from Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries.

[@ChrisSunHwa]

@Kirsten Paff I love that she mentioned Miss Fischer's Murder Mysteries! :D

[@magicattic]

Also in Downton Abbey. In the last season, only Mary actually makes the chop, Edith, Lady Crawley, and many others, all did faux bobs.

[@aishamalone7859]

We’ve got a twenties murder mystery on Zoom next week, how did you know?

[@Madra_Alta]

Once again loepsie to the rescue! Thank you for this! I've been trying to do a 1920's faux bob and been failing miserably! These help so much can't wait to try them! ❤

In beauty school, when we learned finger waves, it was the hardest part! They were the bane of all our existences. You’re not alone in the struggle 😊

[@melodyvoss]

OMG YES!! I hated finger waves! We used a handful of that goopy pink gel that came in a tub. You could get your full amount of hours by just working on one head of finger waves...lol I have hair to my jeans & trying to do my own 1920's hair do b4 even watching this video has been hell. Considering wearing it in a slicked ponytail under a scarf. But, I'm gonna watch this video & see what happens.

[@helenaroman1543]

Such a cute video! Finger waves are hard...used to make me wanna drop out of cosmetology school, we were required to do like 20 of those successfully before they'd sign off on us. I went to that school for fun back when I was 15 and learned a finger wave trick. Start with damp hair, douse it in styling gel. Then "mold" the finger waves with your fingers as you did, then lock them in place with the clips and once you've done your head, blow it dry... then remove the clips, then gently comb through careful not to disturb the "waves." That's what we did when we didn't have time to pin curl. :)

[@kaylacasco4438]

Thank you

[@SJ-mh7so]

Thank you for this video! My grandmother wore her hair in the first style all her life. I've tried it a few times but, my hair is heavy and "crawls" out of any type pin or clip. I'll give it another go!

[@maryintothewoods4037]

Hey I'm a hairstylist And I love all of your hairtutorials, watching them now with short hair makes ne sad xD for the fingerwaves a tip(im german and trying my best to describe it): we always made the curls in horizontal rows, the first left turn, thenn the second right turn, then repeat. This way you create a deeper wave and you just can gently push them when you brushed them through und already have your wave without forming it by hands, that the way you do it when they are wet and are actual fingerwaves. Hope it works somehow.

[@BikePretty]

Marybella I feel like your instructions are clear but my brain can't comprehend 😹 is there a video of this technique that you can recommend?

[@PumpkinBecki]

Super-cute Lucy! And those fingerwaves worked really well. I adore Dottie 😍 These also reminded me of Lady Edith from Downton Abbey xx

[@heatherb1700]

I just need someone to teach me how to properly curl my hair 😭 i can never manage it on my own

[@heatherb1700]

@Robert Gardea yeah that doesn't work. Been trying that method sinc 1998

[@BikePretty]

what is your hair texture? I have fine, straight hair that is hard to curl. I've worked out a good method and now wear it curled nearly every day

[@heatherb1700]

@@BikePretty i have thick (as in a lot of it lol) wavy ish hair but the strands are fine. They don't hold curl at all

[@BikePretty]

@@heatherb1700 Fine hair like ours is harder to curl. I have a lot of hair too so it takes forever to use a curling iron.. Instead I use a product called "Foam wrap" and a heatless curling technique. That and dry shampoo keep my style going for a long time!

[@heartofananthropologist]

OMG you look so much like my grandmother! She was born in 1903. 😊 By the time I came around she had short hair, but she always kept that same silhouette to her hairstyle.

Great video! I've been wondering how Dot can go from bob to long ponytail, since I've been rewatching the series lately xD

[@selkiemorien9006]

These looks like the time for lesser or thinner hair to shine - can't imagine that working, if you have thick hair. And it looks very cute on you! :)

[@katiej.5229]

These are so cute! I'm tempted to try this on my shoulder length hair!

[@emiengee456]

[@lenap3561]

I have tried method 3 today for a 20ies themed party, and multiple people asked me if I cut my hair (usually my hair goes down to my ass). I highly recommend these styles, thank you very much for the idea it worked great. Took like 15 min overall (i already have curls so i didn't curl my hair)

[@NeTxGrl]

I love 1920's hair and clothing styles. I think I had past life during that time, then I died and was reincarnated in the 1960's.

[@k1tkat-kate]

With the finger waves, you look like Victoria Hamilton as the Queen Mother from the Crown!

[@malekritadj4447]

first comment waaaw i'm from algeria love u soo much

[@datsmaboaaah3797]

So impressed about how we could never tell it's a faux bob for the last one! Very nice job aha I'll try your second version of it because it's a bit more subtle and could be considered as a low bun (hair going past my waist, people would be shocked thinking i cut it off........) I love seeing how you Always stay historically accurate for absolutly every era, will Always be a pleasure to watch your videos 🥰

[@MituDjakarian]

I love Dot!!! ^_^ She's so cute and I love her hair.

[@rowandawn6794]

Would this work with naturally curly hair? Or would it be better to put in these types of curls?

[@Loepsie]

That depends on what result you seek. I doubt you could do neat finger waves on natural curls (have never tried it though so don't quote me on that), but I don't see why the faux bobs themselves shouldn't work :)

[@rowandawn6794]

@@Loepsie thank you! Finger waves are a pain! I could probably just curl the front!

[@ahmadeevasu]

Oh, this is very pretty, I should try it! I like the way your bangs blended in those curls! And the video is so well-done: the music, the lighting, flowers in the corner - I enjoyed watching it from the beginning to the end! Cheered me up Thanks!)))

[@artforjoyofficial]

It is easier to make these waves when you curl a top row in one direction (around the top of head), the next one goes in an opposite direction under the first row, then swap again and etc~ so the wave get shaped naturally, very small effort to shape the classic 20-s waves.

I'm actually looking at that video not for the faux Bob part but for the curling part: i'm obsessed with 1916-1917 fashion and i can not for the life of me find and article, magazine, tutorial or anything about how they did the beehive like updos in the late 1910s,the pinning part isn't that complicated (they mainly look like French twists, psyche or all of the updos from before in the decade where i actually have a lot of articles on) but what makes the updos look "1916" and not "fancy dress 60s mod grandma" is the cutting and curling of the hair and in that video you managed to have you front hair look almost exactly like a drawing from fashion without having all of your hair cut into a glorified mullet

This video is so helpful! I'm designing hair for a show set in the early 1920's (trying to make a production work with safety procedures during quarantine) and all of my ladies have longer hair and don't want to do a chop (I really don't blame them, and definitely didn't expect it). I've been trying to find tutorials and videos that will be easier for them to go off of and use as reference, especially since some of them aren't hair-savy and I won't be styling their hair. This is definitely a video I'll be sending to them for reference! Thank you!! 💕
