Vintage Hair For Beginners - How to Create a Retro Look

[@Whisperkissper]

Wow! What a beautiful idea- using your own shed hair for volume. Thank you so much for sharing this and for not being weird about it. I've been sad to have to throw away my hair that collects in my brush and this makes me happy again. xx

[@LiveCollegiateShag]

Solitaire ❤️ thank you for not being weird about it too 🤗 people are normally grossed out by their own hair but it’s much better than using the “hair rats” on amazon that are plastic and one size. I’ve found it is the best way to help me with all styles and I’m so glad you’re going to try it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ataraxia5808]

Haven’t even watched the whole thing yet, but my god, THANK YOU. I’ll be real, I really don’t know jack about hairstyling (I don’t even know how to braid). I love some of the 30’s and 40’s styles, and I’ve been wanting to try one on myself for quite some time! Seeing all these other “easy” tutorials where people just flawlessly apply all these unsaid techniques left me in absolute frustration; not to mention, my hair is super fine, straight, and hard to work with. I know it sounds ridiculous, but just understanding how to do a finger roll has greatly improved my confidence and will to go further. People like me need more of these seemingly obvious and simple tips!!!

[@c.b.ryerson3681]

ok, love the hair. BUT CAN WE TALK ABT THE CRACKLING FIRE AND COLLECTION OF BOOKS PLZ?!?! ❤️❤️

[@selitaswipes8795]

Love the tutorial! My late aunt had hair rats. It was a perfect match for her hair.

[@mathisawesome618]

my god, her hair in the beginning is all i want

[@EmmaRiddle543]

@Jerry Nicolas You’ve said that before on a completely different video.

[@LeticusArt]

19:20 Actually, it does matter. Thank so much for sharing. Many victory roll tutorials show only how to style the front. Half is down. Rolling and pinning is such a great solution. ❤

[@donnafaust4130]

The night look is exact...my great grandmother and grandmother did that...but slept with a night scarf so it wouldn't fall at night. 😉😍

[@jennyhernandez9859]

Yay! Love your collegiate shag videos and am very excited that you have a KZbin channel. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@LiveCollegiateShag]

Thank you! And thank you for taking the time to comment! I really appreciate that. Look forward to more and let me know if you need clarification on anything.

[@lillian5142]

I am a dancer just beginning to learn the swing and the shag and you are such an inspiration! Thanks again for you amazing videos! I definitely want to start dressing with a more 40's inspired look!

[@LiveCollegiateShag]

Awwww this comment made me so happy! Thank you for taking the time to leave it and make me smile. Vintage paired with swing dancing is amazing. If you want to know how to get super affordable vintage message me on Instagram and I'll tell you the secret.

[@Sandersdma]

Thank you for sharing how to properly 50's pincurl your hair up. Great tutorial! Great idea using your own hair for volume, i have thin hair so I appreciate pointers in how to maximize my volume.

[@justme7777]

They were called night jackets! Grandma ALWAYS wore them! They didn't have central air heaters back then. At night the fire would go out and it could get horribly cold! My grandma was a hair dresser. At night she would ALWAYS use 2 Bobby pins on each curl when making pin curls, crossed over into an X. 2 pins makes for a much tighter curl. Setting lotion works MUCH better than moose! It's available at any beauty store. It also drys faster then setting with water or damp hair.

[@AnnLeiSoCal]

Love your ease with pin curls. I do want to try them for future Dapper days at Disney. I esp love the half up, half down at 12:25. Love that and use at "rat" hairs... didn't know there was such a thing. 😅😊

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

I had watched a video a while back where a woman with super fine hair (like mine) did the same thing but with cheap hair that comes in packs at Walmart. She would make somewhat flattened balls of it & put as much as she wanted into knee highs & tie it off. She would then pin it with bobby pins. That way, she could get as big of a 'bump' to add to her hair-do as she wanted :) Being that the hair was in pantyhose, it is easy to wash too.

[@theodoranevessimoes9756]

Your hair in the intro has strong Ally from The Notebook vibes. Love it

[@LiveCollegiateShag]

Thank you! I love the Notebook!

[@Giannaena]

Perfect video. Thank you. Love from Greece 🙂🌺👍

[@margot3552]

Excellent tutorial!!! Loved it!!! Thank you so much!👏❤️

[@singitloud310]

I find that less brushing before the pin curling gives a more voluminous curl once it’s set

[@kathleensmith4853]

I have been trying to do rolls for years and it has always been a pain. This is the best way!!!! Thank you!!!

[@BanDanaGramma]

This is the best tutorial I have seen on vintage hair so far. I am feeling empowered -- hope It works for me! Thank you, with love from BanDana Gramma ❤

[@khaleesikimber7380]

Omg this is so much easier!!! I got it right away thank you!!!!! 💓🙌🏼💓

[@LiveCollegiateShag]

Yay! Perfect! Let me know if there is anything else you're interested in seeing.

[@amandacowgill]

Love the scarf!

[@kathydebernardo3459]

I need your hair for it to work. I need 2 more years of hair growth. Yours is perfect!

[@Gaspard420]

Omg you’re fabulous 😍

You're wearing a bed jacket dear. Good job 👌

[@mathisawesome618]

Thank you very much for this Video!

[@warrior_9726]

Definitely doing the first part and leaving my hair down and bumping the ends

[@Thebreakfastpianoproject]

Love how far you’re going, I will spread this around Lindy in vegas!

[@LiveCollegiateShag]

I would love that

[@Nolasusan1]

Try using 3” U Shape hair pins sold thru Sally’s or Amazon.

[@merrysmith3638]

What is the best setting lotion and hairspray? Thanks

[@julialmartinez1613]

Loving the outfit. Can you share your sources

[@LiveCollegiateShag]

In this video I'm wearing vintage. So just the thrift store and vintage shops. I know... it's the worst answer when you want to find the same thing but that's the best thing about vintage, they are normally one of a kind. Their are some cool facebook groups that sell vintage and it's at much better prices

[@kateanneadams]

I know it’s random but where did you get your music from?!

[@amandakruse6136]

Love the technique! How are you securing the curl??? Is it bobby pins??

[@LiveCollegiateShag]

Yes I try to use just one bobby pin per curl and then I come back after and add more if I feel any aren't secure. The more you put in, the more they stay because you're slightly overlapping them :) hope this helps.

[@poetmaggie1]

I don’t like Pressurized spray cans, what else works?

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

My hair is incredibly fine but halfway down my butt :) Any ideas for a vintage everyday hairstyle with all of my hair up?

[@carollynn674]

Would love to know how exactly you made your “hair rats”. They look like they’re rolled into same size pieces.

[@shannimarie1857]

I tried this repeatedly. Granted, I have a to the shoulders bob cut, but still, it's difficult. The rolling is hard.

[@courteneydisley3050]

Can I achieve this with short hair ?

[@mrslomeli9353]

In her older years, my grandmother had short hair and still pinned it. If you can twist a curl, you can pin it.

[@suefergusson5351]

ahhh!!! those bldy, pincers, my hair just slips out of between my fingers, I can't even get 1 turn of 2 fingers 😫, maybe if I wait until my hair is a little dirtier, had it baliaged 2day, super soft, having been washed several times with quality salon shampoo instead of tacky supermarket brands. practice, perseverance, frustration, grubby hair, mind u i didn't have any mousse or product to put on first, mite try the cheats way and use hairspray for stickability to fingers, then try rolling it, after all they didn't have mousse back in da 40's

[@LiveCollegiateShag]

I know it seems hard with slippery hair but you can do it (It really shouldn't make a difference how slippery your hair is - though it might make it harder to learn :) My fingers slip sometimes too, you just have to move through the actions at the right speed to make it work. Pinch the end of your hair with one hand, place your other finger and when you start moving the pinched hair, let it start slipping through your fingers right before it hits the "tightly pinched hair". The idea is to trap the end before you roll up. It takes a lot of practice but you'll get it :) promise. xoxo

[@aimeemcnallycblw]

What is the approximate size of your scarf?

[@LiveCollegiateShag]

I just took it out and measured it :) it's 29" by 29"

[@kim7990]

Where can I get a hairbrush like that?

[@LiveCollegiateShag]

I'm glad you like my vintage hairbrush! You can probably find one on Etsy pretty easily. I found mine at a thrift shop and love it. I just did a quick search and found one just like mine for $8 "Vintage Goldtone Vanity Hair Brush"

[@kim7990]

@@LiveCollegiateShag holy cow... 8 dollars for that nice hairbrush? I wish I can find it in Indonesia 😥😢

[@erinb4237]

The trick for the back is to make your boyfriend do it

[@jhoanarodas8862]

I wanna do this but I have bangs

[@moniquepoole9965]

my great grandmother called it a bed jacket

[@katewells-gonzalez404]

It’s called a bed jacket

Te ves preciosa !!!

[@metalheadlass9868]

No I have to explain why I keep my own hair in a cookie box

[@tibitaylor]

I believe you are wearing a bed jacket.
