Whispers of Pastel: A 1950s Hidden Hairstyle Gem

[@kiyoto6569]

I still can’t believe this was the 1950’s, it’s so futuristic for that time! I love learning new things about the era! 😁

[@LaurenRennells]

They really got creative at that time. 🌟

I dyed my hair green a few weeks ago and now it's a nice pastel shade - good to know that it's a trend during this beautiful space-age era!! 💚

[@poulinewehbe8372]

Wow, what a huge effort collecting all this information! I highly appreciate it. thank you

[@T0bei]

When I first went pink, I worked at a grocery store, then at a bank... And so many older women would compliment my hair, tell me they wish they were brave enough to try something like that (in the most genuine way). I always encouraged them to try it!

[@cynthiamurphy3669]

I have to say these pastels shades are a lot less jarring to the eye at least, softer and definitely a step up from the harsh "Halloween" colors that have been around way too long. I remember some of those Roux shades from the 60s(?) Love seeing those jewel shades on the darker-haired ladies also.

Really enjoy your videos! I'm super excited about going white with age. No better foundation for super nice pastel hair! I'm gonna be such a badass granny ♡ Dame Edna all the way!

[@Animefan300]

I need pastel pink hair now.

[@LaurenRennells]

Right?!

[@NokneesLooney]

😢 My grandma used that Roux haircolor between colorings. Took me back. Miss her and her Bozo red hair, lol.

[@LaurenRennells]

Thank you for sharing! I always think about my grandma when I am working on something that used the same beauty routine she did.

[@Teddykins]

Hi I use to use Roux Fanciful colours they were brilliant to use and gave good coverage. I started setting my mothers hair when I was Nine years old and she use to use Auburn Hint Of a Tint by Inecto!! I am now 68 and really love your Channel. I get called upon occasionally to do" Vintage" hair styles but thats what I was trained in but you never stop learning in this industry. Thanks 😘

[@LaurenRennells]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@wendynordstrom3487]

Well done video, Lauren! I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Who knew they were doing these colors way back when? Thank you!

[@LaurenRennells]

I focused on the 1950s, but it was a thing in the 20s and 30s as well!

[@HurricanePixie7]

🎉🎉🎉This was so enjoyable; thank you for sharing!

[@LaurenRennells]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ricprodri]

Amazing and interesting video, would love to know a little bit of platinum, ashy and white tones through the early years of hair dyes.

Awesome, thank you!

[@Dizzyknitsandcurls]

Loved everything about this kinda missing my colorful hair now

[@LaurenRennells]

The great thing about hair is how we can change it. Or wear a wig…

[@judietallman]

What an ADORABLE video. :)

[@LaurenRennells]

Thank you! 😊

I’m completely fascinated, thank you for sharing your research. How did they not destroy their hair back then with the bleach? I remember getting my first bleach job in the early 90’s as a teen, in an expensive salon and boy did they ruin my level 5 hair… it was a horrid light orange/yellow brassy, and they didn’t use a toner to my knowledge. I had saved up my money for so long lol. A couple of months later I went back to brown, my tail between my legs 😂

[@LaurenRennells]

Good question! They actually kinda did ruin their hair if they bleached it too far past their natural hair level. This look was a lot easier for women who were already natural blonde.

[@ALT-vz3jn]

@@LaurenRennellsahhhh now that makes sense! I always wondered how Marilyn didn’t ruin her hair, being a natural brunette. Although I think her hair had a golden undertone? She didn’t have all that red to get rid of.

[@7peacefrog]

I love your youtube video's, but I do have a question I am older and trying to go for a 1950's hair style and had straight hair and not sure what kind of cut to get. What would you suggest? I like your hair cut, but do you have straight hair (when you don't roll it or do pin curls? Thank you for any help

[@hyacinthlady]

Are you being served? Britcom from the 1970’s features Mrs Slocome who has a different color hair each episode /blue, pink, purple etc

[@TotallyDolls]

I think the colored hair looks so much prettier because they still style and present themselves in a very neat way. Nowadays, most people will pair their colored hair with face piercings and tattoos. I mean, if you think that is pretty then fine but personally I think that is a bit off-putting.

[@katarinatill4713]

[@jaccaj1626]

Its so funny how super conservative people always flip out when they see a person with an unnatural hair color. It's like: dude, this has been going on for eons! Your Grandma probably wore their hair that way. Lighten up. Its gonna be okay🤭

[@cynthiamurphy3669]

Not always. I'm 70, conservative, and my grandma did a dark auburn for years which looked great with her dark eyes. My own mom was blue eyed and bleached her hair platinum for years. I "frosted" my hair for years but happily quit coloring when I hit my 50s since I actually like my gray hair. But no thanks to the ugly harsh greens and oranges, sorry, would never call those flattering to anyone I've ever seen wearing them. To each her own, though.

[@5phany5]

Still think these colors were rare to see in public.
