[@onyxfaith]

This was always one of my favorite look on Monroe. It's beautiful on you too!

[@HowtobeFancy]

+onyxfaith Thank you! I loved it on her!

[@delsongalasinao706]

I loved those vintage curls and I like you're pink haircolor.and pink is my fave color.

[@theblackaceofspades1]

OMG Thank you for acknowledging that thin hair brushes out so easily and is discouraging

[@HowtobeFancy]

You are not alone!! It takes some adjusting, but it can be figured out!

[@cosmicjourney73]

THIS IS PERFECT!!! I've watched so many tutorials trying to find something I could do and would work for my hair type. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@HowtobeFancy]

SOOOO glad to hear that! I'd love to see it if you try it out!

[@FitfullyVintage]

love it!!! AND your glasses are the actual BEST. subbed. GORGEOUS

[@HowtobeFancy]

+Vintagious Aw, thanks lady! I'm honored 😊

[@missfraoulitsa93]

You are GORGEOUS!!! It's the first time I adore pink hair on someone! It suits you so much! Love the hair love the hairstyle!

[@HowtobeFancy]

Thank you! It's been MANY shades since then, but I did love the pink 💗

[@mereditheyusten7732]

Your hair color is sooo beautiful and striking

[@Bitty603]

Gorgeous! And looks great with the pink!

[@HowtobeFancy]

+Brittany Smith Hehe, Marilyn would have been gorgeous as a pastel-haired bombshell (but it really would have messed with her movie titles)! ;)

[@kiki77751]

She so beautiful and the hair just awesome 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼

[@uniquelymadison]

Very pretty hairstyle, it suits you really well.

[@HowtobeFancy]

+Uniquely Madison Thank you Madison! x

[@uniquelymadison]

+HowtobeFancy Your welcome.

[@christinelynn4040]

Seriously debating cutting my hair!

[@HowtobeFancy]

+Christine Mundell I have not regretted it at all!! :)

[@DaveyCass]

So cute, love it!!!

[@francescabull4816]

What a fab video! I have fine hair too so will definitely follow your video next time I set my hair! I adore your glasses too, I wonder if they are available in the UK.

[@shularorie562]

You did great. The crown gives me problems so thanks for the tips!

[@darinadavidson693]

Thank you for posting. You are a doll!

[@HowtobeFancy]

[@LindsayXo]

[@HowtobeFancy]

+Lindsay Xo Thanks girlie!! x

[@cobbytown6995]

This is extremely adorable. Thank you so much.

[@rosariocorona842]

How do you preserve the Hair style over night?

[@NostaIgiaJunkie]

Silk bonet and pillowcase. Might want to put some rollers in overnight just in case to maintain the curl.

[@SaraTheLupusLady]

You are so stunning!!! My hair due to my medical issues is a total disaster, but my dream is to have hair that will work with me as easily as yours does for you. But, regardless of your hairstyle (even when it got crazy) you are BEAUTIFUL!!! I love that you are YOU!!! I would love a full Marylin Monroe "look" from you. Hair, Makeup, casual outfit (nothing like the "normal" white dress and added beauty spot lol) I would love to see your spin on the casual Marylin. Love you always

[@HowtobeFancy]

+TheLupusLady Casual Marilyn is my favorite! And here's to healthy hair (and body) days! x

[@SaraTheLupusLady]

+HowtobeFancy Awww thank you!! She is my favorite as well. I'm also a huge Audrey Hepburn fan. Ahhhh classic beauty, just like you. Hugs, sweet girl.

[@amorphousface2401]

Where did you buy those glasses? ARe they prescription? I love your chair.

[@HowtobeFancy]

[@HowtobeFancy]

+Stacy Angel Thanks Stacy!

[@melissavazquez858]

Thanks I love this hairstyle. Where did you get your beret?

[@HowtobeFancy]

I've had it for yearrrrssss, haha! I found cute ones at Nordstrom Rack this winter, though!

[@rkkr24]

You look gorgeous 🌸

[@Luminarfeliz87]

Do you need to have a midi haircut to achieve this look ? I love it ♥️

[@HowtobeFancy]

Not at all! It is helpful to have a u-shaped haircut or just a few shorter layers at the front, but if you play around with it, I'm sure you will find what works best for your hair!

[@LisaFreemontStreet]

Trying to catch up on your videos...this is lovely! great job!

[@HowtobeFancy]

+LisaFreemontStreet Thanks Ashley! Seriously flattered!! 💜

[@cyberbrujx]

you're so pretty! love this. I'll give giving it a shot. :)

[@HowtobeFancy]

+TECHNO GYPSY STYLE Thanks girl! I'd love to see it if you do!! :)

[@kels7978]

Such a beautiful colour, how often do u have to colour it? And do pre bleach it 1st?

[@HowtobeFancy]

Hiya! I color it about every 4-6 weeks when my roots start to show. I do bleach my roots eat time - keeps everything nice and true to color! I've got a few vids on how I do it on my channel!

[@Star-ss7yq]

Best!!!

[@apples_and_orchards3205]

@HowtobeFancy Yay! I'm so glad u did this. That is my favorite look on you so far. Cant wait to try it tho I usually jst get frustrated whn I try hair tutorials lol. Btw I think I said it before but u are so beautiful! ;)

[@gpcampbell2]

I love this style and where did you get those fantastic glasses!! Just like when I was a kid. :-D

[@HowtobeFancy]

+gpcampbell2 they're from Kate Spade!

[@leehellam9719]

What colour do you use on your hair, I love that pink ❤️

[@HowtobeFancy]

I think this was Arctic Fox Virgin Pink mixed with a bit of Purple Rain and Arctic Mist!

[@inestableycaprichosa]

you are gorgeous! for how long do you leave the curls set with pins?

[@HowtobeFancy]

You'll want to leave them in until the curl has cooled all the way through. For me, that's usually about 30 mins or so but thicker hair will take a while longer. Hope that helps!

[@emochickluvful]

Where did you get your glasses from?

[@glennandvivigaming7088]

Can you use a curling wand instead?

[@HowtobeFancy]

Sure! Anything to get the curl in - just be sure to catch all of your ends!

[@glennandvivigaming7088]

How to be Fancy thank you! Love the videos you have a new subscriber 😁

[@chelseamendoza7257]

may i ask... are your glasses kate spade? theyre beautiful.

[@HowtobeFancy]

They are!

[@56Octopus]

Could you please make a hairstyle using hot rollers? Love your tutorials :)

[@HowtobeFancy]

I don't actually own any! Is there a particular brand you'd like me to try out? x

[@minathecalicocat4968]

I love it

[@kels7978]

Such a fabulous hair colour, do u pre-bleach?

[@HowtobeFancy]

Definitely! I have a few tutorials showing how I pre-lighten and color my hair if you want to have a peek around! x

[@lindaschneider3657]

Wooow 🥰

[@daniellecollins387]

Those glasses are so cute! Are they your prescription or do you just wear them for the fashion?

[@HowtobeFancy]

+Danielle Collins (daanielleey) Totally prescription! I can barely manage eyeliner without them, hehe!

[@estoyaqui4274]

+HowtobeFancy what your prescription? thank you 😘

[@TheBrittanimkrieger]

What size curling iron barrel are you using?

[@HowtobeFancy]

+Brittani Krieger This is a 1 3/4 barrel. For a bit more of a true vintage look, I'd say go for a 1" barrel! :)

[@TheBrittanimkrieger]

+HowtobeFancy awesome! One more question I have a swing bob, short in the back (my neckline) and longer in the front just passed chin length..what size would you recommend me use? I figure I will have to use 2 different sizes ☺️

[@BRNA0]

I was just wondering how would you maintain this style overnight? I really wanna try it, but usually by day 2 all my curls are messed up.

[@HowtobeFancy]

It's all about re-pinning your hair up at night! I may do a quick tutorial on this soon for you!

[@BRNA0]

HowtobeFancy omg thankyou so much! It's really hard to find a video on how to maintain it for other days aswell , so that would be extremely helpful thankyou!

[@Loungemermaid]

where do you buy silk scarves to sleep in

[@HowtobeFancy]

I usually find mine at thrift stores!

[@TheOzzky]

Pink Diamond *-*

[@LouLouiseJ]

I wish I had your length of hair! Why did I cut it short?! XD Anyways, you look amazing!

[@HowtobeFancy]

+LouLouiseJ Aw, enjoy it while it's short (but I totally understand the "why did I chop it" issue)! Thank goodness hair always grows, hehe!

[@TheAntiDoteNZ]

I hope your hair has recovered from the colouring by now.

[@j3f2c1]

hi

[@stormyweather1392]

After seeing this, I'm pissed that I cut my hair! ugh lol, maybe next year...

[@HowtobeFancy]

hehe, that's what wigs are for, right?? ;)

[@stormyweather1392]

Eh. Ive done it before, *sigh* the struggles of loving pin-up but not having the hair to do it anymore...

[@margaritam.9118]

Is it very short? You can try to do Audrey Hepburn's styled pixie.

[@stormyweather1392]

its chin length now, I cut my hair down to one inch so that I could start over. so i don't plan on cutting it till it gets longer. it looks much shorter than it is because my hair is very thick and curly. I was just looking for something ( preferably in a 1940-1960's era style)to wear for those rare occasions that I straighten my hair out.

[@kiki77751]

Just sub

[@ralithelion]

You look like a librarian

[@HowtobeFancy]

Thank you - I do have an affinity for books.

[@paxsmile]

How to be Fancy smart and beautiful :)

@HowtobeFancy Yay! I'm so glad u did this. That is my favorite look on you so far. Cant wait to try it tho I usually jst get frustrated whn I try hair tutorials lol. Btw I think I said it before but u are so beautiful! ;)

[@HowtobeFancy]

+vegangurl_253 Hehe - It takes practice, but thankfully it's just hair so it washes out! ;)
