Vintage Hairstyle - How To Do A Simple 1950 Style Hot Roller Set.

Today, I'm going to show you how to do a simple 1950s style set with hot rollers. Before I begin, let me tell you why this set works for me and will for some of you and not others. First of all, I have quite thick hair. Secondly, it has a natural wave to it if your hair is dead straight. Please don't expect this one to work for you. You may need to have your hair permed if you plan to wear it like this quite often. Secondly, I have my hair cut into a long mini haircut. This means that it's a distinctly horseshoe shape cut from the sides to the back, but also layered, with the shortest layer coming there at about ear level then coming around and, as you can see from the front here shorter at the front and much longer towards the Back this is the u-shape. You don't specifically need this haircut in order to have these sorts of sets. Work for you, however, having layers on here that is only slightly wavy, will give you a much better result. We start by making sure our hair is tangle, free and, of course, determining where we want the part to see in the finished set. Of course, I always part my hair in the same place, we're going to take our tail comb and make sure this part is nice and clean, but sliding the tail along lifting the arrow and just dividing that out we're going to be working in sections. The front section which you'll see here I've divided with the tail comb just above the ear. I can pull that forward. This is where the bulk of the front of the hair is on me. On the other side, we do the same thing dragging down from the part at the top of the ear. As we pull forward, we can see. That'S the second front section, it's not as thick as the previous and then from the crown. We use the tail comb to separate out what will be the crown and the bulk of the hair that will be set in a downward direction. The rollers I'm using a by Babyliss Pro and I'm going to be using two sizes here, which is the medium and small, we're going to use the butterfly clips that came with these, because these work best on heavier thicker hair, certainly more so the new pins. If your hair has a lot of weight to it, you're going to need to use your tail comb not only for separating out the head, but for making sure the tails of each section are cleanly tucked in around the rollers. We'Ll start by getting a selection at the top of the crown here, make sure this is about the width of your pink or small roller, lift that directly up when we're going to roll this. We don't want to roll it downwards. Otherwise, we'll end up with a flat crown. Instead, we want to lift it right up and roll this direction. Taking our small roller, we do what's called ribbon in the hair, making sure that it's nice and flat before we put the roller towards the ends, don't try and put it right on the ends to begin with, or you really struggle use your fingers and your thumb To hold that piece into place, then, with the opposite hand, at the tail comb run the tail of the cone around the head to push the ends directly into place, then roll the roller. So it is exactly on top of the head. This is going to give you the most volume and bounce from the crown. Now that that section is out of the way we're going to concentrate on the sides. We want the sides to actually run towards the face you can make them serve their flat so that they have a wave, but in this case we're rolling them in towards the face, starting on the side, separate out that smaller section and pull it forward, so that You can see what you're working with ribbon, that section of hair out nice and flat perpendicular to the head before you get your media for size, roll up. We want to use a medium size here so that we have a nice smooth bounce in towards the face. Once again place the roller towards the ends of the hair and using the tail comb tuck those ends in nice and tight as you start to roll this roller up. The trick is in the twist here so that you roll it and the roller sits not in the downward direction but side-to-side on the head rolling directly in towards the eyes, then the cutting place we're going to death Sam on the other side. Well, we've divided out the section by running the tail. Comb throttle part right down the side to the ear and bring that section forward. This is a much thicker section, so we're going to have more than one roller, but initially we want it to roll in towards the face again so that we get a bit of spring and bounce separate this section so that you have one back piece and we Will work with this first ribbon this section out with your nice fine tail comb, then taking your medium-sized roller. We will once again place this towards the ends of the hair tuck, those tails in and roll it towards the face not up not down, but so that it is running perpendicular to the head. If you have trouble getting your curls to stay in, I recommend spritzing them lightly with some setting lotion before you roll them up. However, don't use hairspray. This will just make them crunchy, you'll notice, here that the front section of this piece on line here has a natural tendency to separate you'll, also find it because this is wider, you're going to want to use two smaller rollers in the same sorts of directions. So I'm using the small roller and the front fringe type piece pulling this out nice and taut in front of me helps me to get a grip on this before I roll it in. I don't want it to go down towards the face flat, but instead on angle once this is an angle, the clamp it into place - and it's same with this small remaining piece here, also on an angle roll it towards your face, tuck it in and clamp you Can see the angle here is like the salute style angle, rolling in towards the face with the small and medium rollers, the back roller rolls up and down towards the nape of the neck. The remaining hair is going to follow this same direction as the section this out, with the smaller pink rollers and roll towards the nape of the neck. Working behind yourself can be quite tricky, so you learn to do this by Braille. Effectively, you keep the hair, nice and taut and use your fingers to feel if those ends are tucked in and keep working them with that tail comb roll them in a downward Direction. Nice and tight around the head make sure that they stay right. On top of the roots there to give it goodly, I'm trying to show you the best. I can hear how to use this tail comb technique to tuck those ends in you can see I'm keeping a very tight group here and taking my time about it, to ensure that I get the right finished product don't give up and keep working, whether you use The small or medium rollers will be determined by how thick and how long your hair is. I like to use the smaller rollers through that middle section, knee all the way down to the nape of the neck. This ensures that I get really good, lift and bounce. The medium rollers I tend to use more towards the side sections quite an interesting porcupine effect. Really the trick to making this work is allowing good setting time putting the rollers in and legging for half an hour, really isn't adequate. The minimum amount of time I want to lay phasing would be one hour. The rollers need to be stone-cold before you take them out the longer you can leave them in the better. The result so kick back and relax. Let your rollers cool down before you take them out now that we're ready to take these out. Remember that we're not pulling them out of the hair, but rather living them gently drop into the head. We don't want to break this. Curl allow the rollers to simply roll out of the hair into the hand. The triptych turning these curls into something gorgeous is how you brush or comb out. If your hair is very thick and naturally quite curly use a bristle brush. If it's medium is this sort of brush, I personally like to use a nice wide toothed comb for this dudes, because it won't freeze the hair and it won't break the curls out. What I'm doing is gradually combing those curls together and actually putting them around the hand to make them nice and smooth. This is how we want the finished look to be rather than a wild curly effect. Learning how to use your hand to roll your curls around is one of the tricks to getting these 50-cents looking perfect. The way that we get them to sit just on the shoulder and curling is by how we roll this around the hand. If you decide that you don't really want the smooth look, but instead much more loose, curl use the tail comb to separate out those curls. After you've already giving them a good kind of truth, because I, like mine, smooth and flat around towards the ear, I lift it up. I'Ve driving around my hand and place a bobby pin just above the ear. This helps solve. Is that section cut and i can smooth that towards the face now we work on the main section, i'm using the comb here to both lift and curl that around then once again using a small, bobby pin just at the temple. This helps give that lift to the fringe area, use your comb to smooth away any flyaways at the frontier and also feel free to use a little light. Smoothing serum the back of the section - that's often quite tricky for people. What I like to do here is just that kind of little underneath the bottom. This will give you more volume and also allows you to smooth the top layer over that that kind section. By doing this, you get volume smoothness and you can see the way the wave will sit when it's finished once you've done this and you're happy with the way you can hairspray this into place, see how the curls have given us a nice s fan here now That we've combed them out, of course it wouldn't be finished off without a bit of a flower in my wardrobe, so I've just added a little bit of an orchid on the side there. It gives it a really classic look. This is kind of look.
