As someone with adhd I have always had trouble following tutorials on how to do my hair like this. I also have naturally very thick hair. This was easy to follow and VERY detailed. Will be using this video so I can start practicing!

[@TheGlambassador]

I’m so glad it was helpful for you.

The best wet set tutorial for my OCD personality! TYSM

[@TheGlambassador]

Aaww thank you. I’m curious, what about my tutorial was so helpful for OCD? I’m just curious so I make sure I I can understand how to continue to do my tutorials in a way that is helpful to people. 🥰

[@yetta1944]

@@TheGlambassador Just the fact that the set is linear and understandable in the way you move ftom section. The camera angle was also very helpful because we're able to get a full view of the entire head. Also, explaining in detail how you section each part of the head makes it easier to understand. Hope this helps as much as it helped me 😊

[@TheGlambassador]

@@yetta1944 very much so, thank you for sharing that with me. I basically thought to myself “how would I want this explained to me and how would I like to see it done”. I’m so glad it was helpful for you.

[@amandamckevitt7890]

I agree this was soo helpful!!!

[@alyssa-jadelynnebutlin7778]

The first net was a sleep or slumber net, the second one was a triangular setting net , generally used at a beauty salon before placing you under a commercial beauty salon dryer 😊

I didn’t realize your hair was so long. It was nice seeing your hair straight and down in a couple videos. I have such a good feel for the cut now.

I wish I knew this back in my High School days.!

Purrrrrrrfection of a set!!!

[@TheGlambassador]

Thank you!🥰🥰🥰

[@Anonymous-fb1qu]

I am absolutely in love with this tutorial, it’s the best one I’ve found yet! I just recently got back into dressing vintage after a few years hiatus and am looking forward to trying your methods the next time I set my hair, I think I’ll get my best results yet! Thank you for such an awesome tutorial

[@TheGlambassador]

I'm so happy to hear that.

[@booth333]

I am loving all of your videos. You are such an inspiration! I do have a request: Can you help us with vintage etiquette, as in do we need to remove our hats if we wear them out to a restaurant? Say when you go grocery shopping, do you actually wear your gloves or save them for a "date night" situation? I have so many questions! I don't want to feel out of place and be improper! Congrats on your move to Austria! (I'm from the DC area too!)

[@TheGlambassador]

This is a great idea and something I've had on my video list for a while. Let me know what specific questions you have and I'll be sure to put a video together for you.

[@Findingsuitcase]

Thank you soooo much! You’ve been so helpful. I did my first set last night and it didn’t come out whatsoever but I’m glad I found your videos to follow along to! 😊

[@TheGlambassador]

Keep at it, it takes time to figure out what works and to build the muscle memory. Remember too that hair has to build the tension memory of the curl as well. You'll get there.

[@lesleyoneill6064]

You make it look so easy!

[@TheGlambassador]

I have had years of practice, but with time and practice it really does become easier and easier.

[@Yana.Polyanichko]

Awesome 👍 Thank you, Christine! I am looking forward to your video about brushing it up 👏

[@angelicagrills7123]

I want to first say thank you for your videos and blog. I have 3b curly hair and have always wanted to try vintage hair styling, but constantly failed. This time around I found your videos and another girl with curly hair as well as a few ladies with coily hair and it gave me the courage to attempt again after 6 years. My hair is a bit long (almost past my bra) for most vintage hairstyles, but I have great spring and shrinkage HAHA. I followed your tips and did a similar setting pattern. I normally use homemade flax seed gel so I even used your recipe and made my own setting lotion. After 3 attempts I started to get the hang of it, but failed at the brush out. I thought maybe I just can't brush my hair out as much as the other gals. This time I think I cracked the code for my hair. I used both the flax seed setting lotion and my homemade gel for extra hold, but this time I really gave my hair plenty of time to dry (almost 36 hours, I wasn't going anywhere so didn't care that hair was in foam rollers) and even used a dryer bonnet to ensure it was completely dry. WOW! Big difference when brush out time came. I used a little avocado oil on my hands for the take down of the rollers, but the real game changer for me was your tip on your blog about products and tools. I had used different pomades with lack luster results. This time I used my husband's Brylcreem for the same reasons my husband stop using it. For him it was too greasy, but for me it added the extra shine I needed so my hair looks glossy and not lifeless. Thank you so much for the tips. They really work and I learned a lot about not quitting, keep practicing and being patient.

[@TheGlambassador]

I'm so glad my videos have been a help to you. It takes some trial and error to find what works for our hair and I'm happy to hear that you are getting good results. Keep it up!

[@Lana_Burton]

Perfection ❤ i curl my hair everyday with iron curl its damage my hair so much and it take too muuuchh time omg... 😮 You are so stunning. Love from France 🇫🇷💋

[@deborahkessler1092]

Another fabulous video. I loved the music you selected for this one as well. Thanks for all you do.

[@TheGlambassador]

Thank you very much!

[@elenavthorn]

This is how I do it but with hot rollers then pin curls - this is what I want to try though to save my hair from heat! Thank you for the video 🤩 especially homemade flax seed setting spray…just what I love to hear 😅

[@TheGlambassador]

You're so welcome!

[@TildaJubeault]

Dear Christine, Thank you so much for this vidéo! Your technique is so perfect!!! I do not always succeed in my loop ! It falls out quickly because my hair is thin and straight. I think maybe I need to roll them up when they're really wet. Thanks for the demo! 😊 Matilda.

[@jonahandthewolf]

Our hair looks similar when wet!

[@AnnGoodall-y7m]

Absolutely first class tutorial, I've been doing a wet set for a few weeks now, really getting the hang of how to do it. Did one yesterday, and I have curls and waves today, so delighted. Pleased could ask you, do you have evening clothes that you wear when you go out for the evening, ( not a black tie do) but for maybe dinner, theatre, cinema out with friends etc or do you wear your day clothes. ( You always look fabulous) Can't find anything in my books about this. Many thanks.

[@julieputney4317]

Very helpful and easy to understand ❤

[@TheGlambassador]

Glad you think so!

[@nicholejohnson-p3q]

Beautiful…Where do you get all the vintage clothes.. thanks

[@Fany_ND]

Just amazing Christine 👏🏻👏🏻 You are such a pro! 😊 Your technique is impressive 😍 I love watching your hair tutorials, however, I'm experiencing some health issues and my hair is not in a good condition... It can't resist the traditional ways as it used to do 😢 So I'm trying to find alternatives to get my usual look but in a "gentler" way. Tysm and have a wonderful week 🤍💋

[@suzybausch8587]

I wasn’t sure what you were trying to avoid in terms of layers up front. And how does starting half way up prevent whatever it is you don’t want? Thanks for such a thorough tutorial!

[@TheGlambassador]

When hair is layered or even cut at an angle like mine, the ends are different lengths. That makes it hard to take the roller all the way to the end to start rolling up. The shorter layers don’t get incorporated onto the roll as easily. So starting half way up the shaft makes it so all of the hair gets incorporated onto the roller together and then you can grab the longer strands and wrap those around to roll it all up as one piece. I hope that clarifies it for you.

[@Missmoon1993]

Thank you! I can’t wait to try, I’m hoping for a Rita Hayworth style & my hair is somewhat longer than yours, would we use the same concept with just a larger roller?

[@TheGlambassador]

Yes, I would use a larger roller and roll the fringe back and down instead of off to the side. This will give you more volume in the front section.

[@Missmoon1993]

@@TheGlambassador thank you very much!

What kind of bonnet dryer do you use

[@TheGlambassador]

When I lived in the US I used a self contained unit similar to this Conair one, amzn.to/4eAYSgs I really liked it and it served me well. I have a bit of a different one here in Austria, but it's essentially the same.

[@judythomas1969]

Where did you get your mesh head scarf? Love the video.

[@TheGlambassador]

I bought aa box of new-old stock hair nets at a flea market and this is from that lot. I had given away some to my Patrons. They are pretty cool.

[@thelouisfanclub]

You make this look so easy especially sectioning and doing the back of the head lmao I ended up with the whole of the back of my head without any rollers 😂😂😂

[@emmsue1053]

Just practice, its like most things "new" you. Gets easier.

What is the size of the black sponge foam rollers you use on your back and on your sides ? And where you buy the pillow rollers ? Thank you ! ❤

[@jbowen828]

My hair is very long. I’ve tried this once but it still wasn’t dry in the morning. Will this look the same on long hair?

[@TheGlambassador]

A wet set typically needs at least 24 hours to fully dry, it won’t happen overnight. Depending on how long your hair is you might need a bit long to dry or you can try using a bonnet dryer to speed up the process.

What is your flax seed recipe?

[@veganvintagegeek2.089]

I am going to put this here in case anyone else is experiencing the following: Hi, I noticed when I set my hair wet or dry. When I shower with a shower cap on my head the underside of my hair is always wet. And I learned the reason being that I wash my face in the shower, and I have to put my face under the water while tilting my face to the sky, it causes water to seep into my shower cap. In order to prevent that from happening I will have no choice but to wash my face at the bathroom sink. Which is not that bad of an option, I do have a facial brush I use to wash my face with, and I take a damp washcloth to my face to remove any soap.

[@novaface]

What do you to with your hair while in the shower? How do you keep its shape? 💗

[@TheGlambassador]

I just use a shower cap to protect it from the water and humidity. The wet set is how the shape is maintained.
