What Makes an Authentic Vintage Hairstyle?

[@coralaisly]

I've been a hair stylist for years. I got into hair because of vintage hair styles. Over the years I've collected dozens of vintage books and magazines that explain how to do hair styles. The main thing I always tell people is "PUT THE CURLING IRON DOWN!" Rollers, rollers, rollers. Always use rollers and or pin curls. Set your hair as part of the winding down process before you go to bed. When you wake up, you'll thank last night you for helping you out. The second thing is hide your pins. Pins are Loch Ness Monsters. It's vital for your hair's mystique that they just about never be seen. The third thing is that victory rolls are essentially partially collapsed cylinders. They shouldn't be able to be seen through. If you are looking in the mirror and can see the wall behind you, that's a barrel curl or a pin curl, not a victory roll. Victory rolls are closer to slinkies or sometimes cones than soup cans with the flat bits chopped off. Watch an old movie from the 40's or 50's and try to replicate someone's hair from that source if you are having trouble. 99%+ of the time that 23 year old girl on Instagram has no idea wtf she's doing and then it's just the blind leading the blind. I'm not being mean or judgmental. I say this because I've spent countless hours collecting and studying vintage photos and manuals and recreating what was done back then. Actually look at pictures of Veronica Lake, Rita Hayworth, Hedy Lamarr and Vivian Leigh. They had different looks but they had common threads. If you follow what they did (or rather what their hairdressers did), it's actually not difficult at all to accomplish an authentic, convincing vintage style that will stay for days. It's mainly styling gel, setting lotion, u pins and working with the motion of the curls instead of against them. The hair needs to flow like water. I keep my hair very long and often wear it in longer adaptations of vintage styles. At night, I comb out each section, massage the scalp a little and pin it to its base in a curl just like it was on the roller, but laying down. This gets done while watching KZbin videos or a movie, so I'm not sure how long it takes, but not long. It takes me 5-10 minutes to lazilly take the clips out of my hair in the morning, which I do while still sitting in bed with my eyes half open and Netflix playing. Then it takes maybe 2 minutes to pin it or put it up and then I'm out the door. If my hair weren't long enough to sit on it would take far less time. It's super easy.

EmileeArsenic that's very useful, thanks! What do you think about modern "vintage" hairstylists that use the curling iron before they set the hair in pin or barrel curls? I'd say if you don't have the whole night, it's an acceptable and fast alternative that often gives strikingly good effects if you know how to do it well

[@coralaisly]

It depends, really. If you're only going for a show it might work, but the thing is that the curl you get from heat styling is very different from the curl you get from set curls. Heat styling is incredibly damaging, even if you do it with heat protectants, and once that hair is fried, it's done. Damage, despite what you see in so many commercials is technically irreversible and must be cut off. Even things like keratin bonding and such are temporary and eventually come undone. If you want to wear the vintage styles with any regularity, heat styling is a really bad idea. The reason I say stick with rollers is because it really does stay better by a long shot. There really is no good substitute for setting the curls. Using a hood drier is a faster alternative than over-night styling in a pinch. And authentic looking finger waves with a curling iron? It's one of those things that can be done, but someone who knows what the real thing looks like can almost always spot a rush job. When the other method is better suited for the job and doesn't carry the same dangers (like burns or damaged hair), why risk it? If you apply styling lotion and roll while damp it doesn't take a super long time - significantly less than rolling sopping wet. When hair dries in a certain pattern it's far more likely to stay that way. Without a doubt every time I've seen curls fall in a hot studio during a photo shoot or after a long day it's because heat styling was used and the hair just couldn't keep its shape. In these vintage looks, or really any updo, the curl is the foundation, and like when building a house, if tons of short cuts are taken on the foundation, you're probably going to have a bad time. And at the end of the day, when you're trying to pin it in place, if you use the oldschool method and know how to roll properly etc, the hair will pretty much work with you, and you won't have to coax it anywhere near as much as if you use a curling iron. I typically stay away from this word, but in general, when I see stylists trying to do vintage (not retro) looks with heat tools, it comes across as lazy to me. They should really know better (and I know I taught my students better when I was a theory teacher), and if they're worth their salt, they know they're sacrificing quality for speed. I tend to assume they just do it because they don't like doing finger waves, wet sets or pin curls, which is common for people who've gone through beauty school. I don't totally understand why that is, it's a gorgeous technique and in this case it really is the best tool for the job. Maybe I'm just a purist haha But you asked what I think, and there it is haha

[@rinwesley3092]

EmileeArsenic do you have a website or channel I can check out? I would love to learn your technique. Or any suggestions for sites?

[@coralaisly]

Rin Wesley What specifically are you interested in learning? I've had the idea of starting a youtube channel devoted to classic, vintage and antique styling techniques and whatnot for some time now. To be honest, very little of what I've learned I've seen online. I assumed it was that way because people weren't really interested in learning the older ways since fashions change and a lot of older techniques are less popular. Usually I find these things as part of antique sales, or from retired hairdressers who worked in the 30's and 40's. I assumed it was that way because now most people like heat styling so there hasn't really been much of a market for it. Maybe I'm underestimating the interest?

EmileeArsenic I'd definitely watch this kind of material! I'm always watching old movies and ads and swooning over elaborate hairstyles, wondering how they were made and wishing someone showed me how to recreate them. Most of the tutorials nowadays are modernized or simplified in some way

@@taritangeo4948 It means having your hair curled to start with. It doesn't sound like much until you actually try it, but having set your hair at night and starting with flowy, floofy curls helps tremendously when working with hair and changes the game. If your hair is flat and straight, it will lack volume and so will the hairstyle. Proper taxture helps to work the hair in the proper way like it was done back in the day.

[@AnnaJackson50]

I wish I could know how "normal women" looked like back then I mean women who didn't had money or time to style the hair When I look for a vintage style they only show hairstyles with lots of curls and hairspray and thousand of bobbypins What about girls like me, who got up late and run to school or working place ?? XD but still wanted to save the hairstyle ?? Loveee Anna :3

YuukaYoghurt as surprising as it is for us nowadays, not curling your hair was so unthinkable for those women that almost all of them did it, rich and poor. I used to believe that some simply gave up because they had no time, but to be completely honest, I've seen and studied a lot of pictures from the 1930s-1950s and I've only seen a couple of women with their hair undone, majority of them young. I believe it was a matter of "honor". walking around with your hair straight - especially when you were a grown up - meant you were very untidy and made you unattractive. what shocked me most were ww2 pictures of women being taken from Jewish ghettos - and I noticed, despite the severely harsh conditions they were forced to live in, that all of them had their hair done. what's also worth to remember is that they didn't have to do it everyday, usually once a week would do the trick. some would also do perms. I myself have some "cheating" hairstyles that I do on my lazy days :D headwear is also saving my lazy ass all the time.

[@miapendragon5931]

Domowa Kostiumologia Though most people curled their hair, it didn't automatically make them seem (to society) as unattractive or ugly if they didn't do so. Women with very long hair, for example, would often simply pin it into styles, if you get what I mean, rather than actually using curlers or pin curls. Especially in the 40s with the war effort, less women bothered to curl their hair, and instead simply tied it back, braided it or put it under a scarf. Also, the 'vintage roll' does not involve curling, and loads of females just pinned their fringe/front section of hair back in a sort of poof thing (not good with hair in general, no clue how to describe it!!! 😂). Sorry if this made no sense 😂

[@Jumping-cholla]

YuukaYoghurt when you get more skilled, you're able to pick up the styling faster. Practice makes perfect. Setting hair at night has always been my godsend, as well as hot rollers. Another cheat is using "second day hair." Unfortunately, most of my own family photos even show my great relatives and before with curled hair. It's a product of the time. The ones that didn't were farmers and they just tied their hair back.

[@AnnaJackson50]

thanks a lot for the answers!!

[@tiffytattoo2450]

YuukaYoghurt I'm from Germany and I'm always stunned that our "Trümmerfrauen" (women who build houses from ruins after 1945) had their hair done while working in the ruins. There is video footage of that. Wondering about my own lazyness tbh =D

+Vampstors50 Elliott "The funny thing is I have natural waves so you'd think curling irons would work?!" "...mine is so straight and hates holding any curl." You two clearly have completely different hair types. I don't know why you'd think what worked for you would work on dead straight hair when you have curly/wavy hair. Unless you use a texturising/sea salt spray or shittonnes of hair spray, pin-straight hair *will not* hold curls, simple as that.

Also, short/medium hair is your friend! From 20's-50's, there are so many great simple styles like bobs, pixies, etc., and most women didn't really wear their hair long past their shoulders for convenience. So many styles *can* be achieved with long hair, but are simpler and even more accurate with medium to short length hair. (Disclaimer: that's "so many", not "all". There are still long hair styles, for sure, but you will find your life easier and have a lot more styles to choose from if you keep it shorter. This is coming from a girl with hair at least two feet long in a pony tail.)

I have naturally curly hair, so this video is good news! I also think the right tools are key.

The thing with texture... my grandmother told me that women back then only washed their hair once a week. The rest of the time they used powder shampoo or just brush the oils off or redistribute. That is why they had the sheen or shiny look to their hair compare todays' over washed, over-processed hair. Also, "dirty" hair takes in the hair color more readily and makes it last long, which is why root touch-up are done and not overall redying the hair that is colored already. Which explain why they had more hair back then too. You look at todays' hair it is flat, dull, very thin and in some cases severely damaged. BTW, I went without washing my hair in two weeks and the hair did this magical thing... the dirty and oil got wiped off by the brush. O_O I do have to wash my brushes constantly, but better than overdrying hair due to washing it every two days or so. After washing the hair, It than took my scalp and roots to be oversaturated with oils in two weeks. Whereas, before doing the two week no-poo technique I had to wash my hair every three days due to how oily the scalp would get. I also noticed that leaving my hair go without shampooing every two weeks that my hair grows thicker and healthier. Who knew. I do use conditioner at the tips in-between the shampooing to moisturize the tips and two days before washing day, I would use lots of oils on tips and midway of hair strands.

[@TiffanyHallmark]

As a hairdresser, I have many hairstyling books from the '20s through the '50s. I love trying to replicate what was done so many years ago when stylists actually styled the hair to stay. Using Brilliantine(mineral oil or petrolatum) for some shine and hold. Also lacquer as hairspray. Their hair really would last a week.

[@smellylorenny]

Are you referring to the ragging effect for hair ( 2:07 ). Basically you tie your hair while it's wet into little knots with old ripped rag pieces, usually sleep with them in overnight, and then the next morning when you take them out you get sort of ringlets/ curls. I had to do this when I was little because I was dressing up as Shirley Temple for a dress up party. My hair was already curly but it gave it the sort of tamed ringlet look.

[@Cinderbloom]

I will actually make a defence for the people not setting their hair - they might simply not be going for a true vintage style. A lot of more vintage cuts are incredibly flattering on the body, or they have a certain style which is lovely. But they may not be going for an actual vintage style, or even like the hairstyles that people wore back in the day.

A couple of things to note. There are plenty of 'vintage girls' out there like me and Ive seen plenty on Instagram who arent trying to achieve a fully authentic look. They are just taking and mixing aspects of vintage styles they enjoy. Also for many (myself included setting my hair simply isnt practical even if I wasnt disabled) I have a lot of hair which even hairdressers take about 40mins min to set. Wet sets take literally days to dry, dry sets drop in hours and look authetic Id need to travel hours to get an authentic cut so its just not practical. My grandparents who had poker straight hair like me would have had theirs permed and had access to specialist hairdressers who knew how to create/cut for vintage hair which is something that simply isnt an option for modern women.

As a Swing dance person I have gone to vintage hair clinics and they literally had no idea what to recommend to me because I have naturally curly ringlets. If I remember correctly I think the lady asked me to straighten it and then come back so that they could teach me how to put it in pin curls or rollers. XD I just told her no offense but if she didn't have any hair styles for curly haired people to teach I'd just take a refund, which she did give me without any hard feelings. I did eventually learn some vintage hairstyles for curl haired people just not from any clinics... from good old KZbin!

It's awesome to see that you are back!

[@gill426]

I saw Ginger Rogers, I clicked. :) ♡ My homegirl, she was so, so beautiful. Thank you for that great video and generally the awesome channel you're running. It gives me hope for our cultural future.

What I often recognized when I was looking for "1950s Fashion" in the internet is, that the pictures just show the ROCKABILLY Style: Petticoat dresses, long hair, Victory Rolls, High Heels etc. And everytime I think: "This is NOT 1950s fashion!". When I wanna dress vintage some people directly say: "You look like rockabilly". And I'm so sick of that because Rockabilly isn't my thing. "Rockabilly" and "1950s fashion" is NOT THE SAME. It's the same with 1920s. Black eye shadow, red lips, dresses and head bands were not put on during the day. It was a Party outfit, but the dresses looked different than most people think. And not everybody was wearing Finger waves or dark Make-Up. (Sorry for my english).

[@draalttom844]

Id like to correct, it is a 1950 fashion, an art one, not casual

[@sekar_exe]

Me, someone with naturally wavy hair who don't need to brush my hair everyday when I heard that vintage hairstyles can last for 3 days: 👁️ ᴗ 👁️ I'm gonna do it

[@istinapravda7956]

oh may THAT MAKEUP is WOW!!! eyeliner is gorgeous

[@ellie6192]

you're so rad. my friend introduced me to you and i love that you know so much about vintage fashion. i feel like whenever you post a video you're like "here's what i did and it's wrong so take a lesson from me" I learn so much from you and your trials

[@MrsAnnlyne]

Hello ! I iron my hair for many years (unfortunately) ... now i always use PIN CURLS and it's true pin curls are the key for real vintage look ! Thanks so much for your video really really good !

[@em01455]

This is amazing

[@gill426]

Welp, I have straight hair up to my hip and I'm not willing to cut it, so the struggle is real! 🙄😳 But I'm getting better at this. I'm currently trying and testing with rag curls and that is bringing kind of a good result, better than with foam rollers so far. I'm sure I'm gradually getting better at it and when my hair gets a bit greasy, I braid it and put it up as fashionable as possible, which also works nicely. :) Thank you so much for your tutorials and example, I so love your channel! Greetings from Germany! :D

[@azureswan8489]

Świetnie wyglądasz w tej fryzurze!

[@SchoolRumble4ever22]

Alicia Vintage Love your cute vintage style!!😊

[@AliciaVintage]

OhSoVeryKawaii Thank you :))

[@samanthasanford2742]

You're gorgeous and give good advice, but don't worry about your pets. I honestly found your shouting at them way more distracting than any noise they were making.

[@TheGoldMikey]

Happy to see you back! And i think it would be great if you'd start posting here more stuff, even if im not trying to look vintage or sth its just very interesting for me to read or listen about that.

[@fatalrob0t]

Not all women curled their hair. Well... not in pin curls. Veronica Lake had wavy hair and kept her hair really long in comparison to other women. Not to mention some women still didn't cut their hair in the 1920s or the 1930s for various reasons, such as religious (A lot of Catholic women didn't cut their hair). I say if you want to go authentic, look up something that looks about right, try it out, if it doesn't work, look for styles that are older. My hair doesn't curl, though it keeps waves decently, it's ultra fine and I have a lot of it that is very long; I have the kind of hair that women in the Victorian era would have adored. That being said, I pull my hair up in a few braided styles, which have been around for ages.

[@2Sparrows4aFarthing]

Yes!! I have the same ultra fine hair which I'm growing back out (below shoulders now) I'm thinking about going for a "Gibson girl" style as with a little discreet back combing it will work great with the texture. Back when perms were a must (the 80's) my hair was soooo thick and curly with a perm - it would hold any style with ease! I've tried to get my hairstylist to give me a perm recently, but she says either perm or haircolor, not both. At this point in my life my hair looks drab without color - so no perm for me :( I really wish perms would come back-all this straightened hair I see everywhere is getting old. It's been what? A decade of straightening or more? Ugh, can we move on please? And those half assed "beachy" waves that have been around forever always lack something in my opinion.

[@fatalrob0t]

Diane Dianna Danna lol well, I get waves when I braid my gair. that's about as far as my hair will go toward curls.

[@sinclairethomas8197]

Your blouse is so beautiful! I love the color.

[@Annica1983]

Thank you! I'm finding this super important so I'm instantly sharing the video with my swing community in Czech Republic :)

[@PowerToolsofJustice]

I would love a tutorial on your hair in this video!!

[@tiffanybrown4432]

and heart the eyeliner people try winks and just make them too long but yours are so chill

[@brendafarmer3584]

Love Your Channel!! You are So Pretty and I Love Your Videos about past styles! I was a teenager in the 60's and early 70's. We didn't have a shower so I had to wash my hair in the bath or kitchen sink. My hair is Very Straight! I always set it on the pink foam curlers to give it bounce! When the Short style that was flatter at the front, and back-combed at the back came in, that really worked for me! I probably spent more time on my hair than a lot of my friends back then. But, I Definitely know what you mean about curlers or pin curls!! My mom pin curled her hair for Years ! Grandma B 🐝💕

[@elirchi9214]

You sound like such a sweet person

[@melodyofpsalm9468]

It's Ok Karolina...I like the sound of birds, so to me, it's beautiful background music! LOLOL!

[@gboo7563]

Alot of hair styles from the 20s, 30s,40s and 50s required a permanet wave to get the curl effect and style desired . It was the fashionable back then

[@nina1522]

You really do look like a beauty from a bygone era.

[@naomic.141]

[@AnyaCanet]

Your channel is the best thing ever happened to me, on KZbin.

[@greatboredompineappl]

Mid 20s and late 50s on straight hair was worn by some women, but for the rest of the time period the hair is curled.

[@VintageGirlMemories]

Your skin is flawless!

[@meliss298]
