How I Maintain My Vintage Wet-Set All Week!

Hello Darlings! I've been meaning to make this video for a while since so many of you lovely viewers have asked how I keep my wet-set on a day-to-day basis. So, here it is! This has to be the easiest part of vintage hair styling, wrapping it up each night only takes about 20 seconds, no joke! I hope you enjoy the video and find some useful tips to help prolong your own vintage wet-set!
Lots of love,
Sage Xx

I enjoyed watching this video. I had a not so good day and was a little depressed and when I saw your video popup on my phone I got excited. Thank you for making my day better today. :). I love your hair (fringe) in front. I like the way it curls and falls on your face it's so pretty. I had my hair cut like yours and for some reason when I curl it, the front doesn't look like yours. I must be doing something wrong.

Congratulations on your KZbin plaque!! Much deserved. I recently discovered your videos and have binged watch them, lol. I’ve always always loved vintage looks and all of the glamorous eras. You’ve inspired me to finally go out and buy some authentic vintage clothing 🥰🥰🥰

[@WithLoveKristina]

Yaaaaaay congratulations on the KZbin plaque!!! That’s so exciting! Also, it’s encouraging to see someone who can’t or doesn’t make their wet sets last a full seven days but redoes it or just doesn’t… bother 😂 I never could figure out how to make my curls last more than 3 days!

[@SageLilleyman]

Thank you Kristina! 💕 haha somedays I just don’t even bother with my hair, too much effort! 😂😂

[@amberloomis4817]

I love your style and how you wear vintage pin curls so beautifully. As a hairstylist I love the style and wish it would make a come back. I also only wash 2xs a week, you should try using the dry shampoo before bed. I find it absorbs oils and sweat when we sleep better than trying to brush it though same day. Love all you do.

[@raraavis7782]

I just started practicing wet sets. At chin length (with layers...sighs), it's still too short, to really to something with the result - but I figured, I could just as well start practicing the rolling techniques now. It certainly takes a lot of practice, to get it right.

[@jessicacanfield5408]

I am from the U.S. and I was a little shocked seeing you in two layers and one a sweater because we are so hot in Virginia in August. haha i am going to get used to your different seasons from ours.

All of your styles are adorable! I think the ponytail is my favorite.

[@cak8132]

Congrats on the You Tube plaque!! Well deserved. Your videos are instructional as well as entertaining and great fun.

[@kaylalee7861]

Such a nice idea for keeping curls a long time. My hair is wayyyyy too long to hold more than 6ish hours, but after watching this is considering cutting my hair 🤔 congrats on the plaque!!

[@DieAlteistwiederda]

My hair goes to the middle of my back, definitely too long and heavy to stay curled too but I've also thought about cutting it shorter again. Videos like this one are definitely a big inspiration for that.

[@kaylalee7861]

@@DieAlteistwiederda glad I'm not the only one, lol. It's a struggle for sure, but long hair can be nice sometimes too.

[@Ellaodi]

This is so great!!! It didnt even occur to me to put a hairnet on 🤣 for an evening out you could even just leave the hairnet & scarf during the day and brush our fresh before your event!

[@gypsywolf2061]

CONGRATULATIONS! for your KZbin award! I watched this video with a smile as remembering how I bobby pinned my hair every night during my teens. My thick hair was always flexible & bouncy yet stayed in placed. Wish I had thought of the ideas you now use day-by-day. And oh, I learned to open the bobby pins with one hand vs teeth (my mother insisted!). Took a little practice, but I felt like I had won the bobby pin Olympics! 🤗

[@Fauxrising2022]

Hi! I’m making the leap to vintage hair 😊 I love your haircut and your fringe piece 😍 what kind of vintage haircut do you have? And what do you tell a modern stylist, who doesn’t know vintage, how to cut it?

Did you have to 'train' your hair to look so perfect after running the brush through the curls when you first started? Like how you have to train the part in your hair etc... when I brush my hair out post curls it instantly separates and frizzes out

[@paganspixie]

It's the type of brush she's using. Older brushes like that were made to go through curls without ruining it. I have naturally curly hair and I'm lucky enough to have a brush my great grandmother used. It calms my curls without frizz and gives it a softer look.

[@ashlingsmith2256]

Congratulations on your numbers 👏 I suspect they'll keep growing, make room for more plaques. I adore your vintage fashion and hair styling vlogs and am longing to see how nails were cared for and worn during the different decades as well as the different jewery pieces that were worn and how. Your research is beautifully done and well, I'm looking forward. What can I say? I'm addicted. Cheers!

Oh my Sage this is so wonderful. Love all the hairstyles but when you where the hair scarves they are my favorite 😍 have you seen Mona Lisa Smile? It is my very favorite movie. The pony tail style reminds me so much of the styles in that movie. This makes me want to run out and buy foam rollers and a huge pack of Bobby pins!

[@marabanara]

I totally have the same cream cotton knit cardi from Princess Highway 😍😍😍

[@louisedavis7524]

Congratulations on your award 👏 for all your hard work. The pony tail is so cute. This is a well thought out video with so many options for maintaining your hairstyle. Hope study is going well.

[@angelicagrills7123]

Loved your video. I laugh at myself though because your nighttime routine is my daytime look. I have 3b curly hair and a mother of 3 small children. I fake the vintage look using my natural hair texture just with a hair net and bobby pins. I do not brush out since my curls frizz and never brush smooth even if I have taken the time to foam roller my natural curls to relax and make them more consistent.

[@Laranchinha]

How hair should be washed? Only with shampoo? its not getting very dry?

[@desireeb4278]

So excited for you and 100k! 🥰 My hair is almost to my waist but your tutorials make me want to chop it all off so I can do all of your cute styles!! I alsolutely love your housecoat/bathrobe. Makes me think of my Great-Grandma. 🥰❤

[@BronzeTheSling]

Same! Mine's an inch past fingertip but I've always wondered if this style could look good on me!

Don't know why, but I never get these combs to work. I will try the combination of pin curls and foam rollers that you showed in another video.

quick question- what can you use in place of a hair net? I have shower caps, silk scarves and a silk bonnet. Would any of those on their own work just as well as the hair net at preserving my set while sleeping in your opinion?

[@estephaniavecin561]

I'm so dying to do this to my hair. BUT my hair is super long like it reaches down to booty. so I havent come across a video about vintage curls my hairs length. would this be possible for me to do with my hair lengths?

Do you have any suggestions for ppl who can't sleep their hair pressed against their neck?

[@SageLilleyman]

Thank you! The secret to keeping them for a few days is setting your hair damp with water or setting lotion and then using HEAPS of hairspray after you brush the curls out! xx

[@smolsews3760]

What's your recommendation for wet sets? At the moment I just use setting lotion on dry hair as even just leaving my hair down over night it will still be damp the next day haha Also please give advice on how to sleep in rollers because it is the most uncomfortable thing I have ever experienced

[@SageLilleyman]

Make sure to only very lightly dampen your hair with setting lotion, If you are still finding it hasn’t dried by the morning, keep it in for at least 10 hours overnight. Haha I know foam rollers can be very uncomfortable! My advice would be to remove the hard clip from the roller and instead replace a ribbon in the foam tube and tie that up to keep your hair sets in place, much more comfy! 💞
