SharktopusMilk: Fun fact about Prell: due to its high alkalinity it can actually perm hair. Reference: I am a licensed professional cosmetologist and did this as an experiment in beauty school when we were studying the chemical process of perms. Prell is definitely not as strong as actual perm solution, but when applied to wrapped hair, processed, and neutralized - it will “permanently” although mildly change the shape of the hair.

GhostlyImage OfFear: I remember being fascinated as a small child by the TV ads for Prell in the early '60s. They would drop a pearl into the glass bottle of green Prell which would very slowly sink, to show how rich the shampoo was.

Cynthia Barker: I used Prell back in the day. There was a shampoo called Agree. Anyone remember that one? Also Flex by Revlon.

Cherie Vivian Peronetti: As a little girl in the 60s, my shampoo was Prell. Brings back fond memories. Love your videos.

Michele Bowen: I wish some of these products would go back to the vintage packages. I love just how pretty things used to be packaged. Vintage Vibes Forever!

Debbie: That 'vintage' Prell bottle is probably from the 80's. It has a UPC on it, those didn't become widely used until the 80's.

Mia: Does anyone remember the Faberge Organic shampoo that had wheat germ, and honey in it for soft silky, shiny hair.

Dixie: Queen Helene also made Mint Julep clay face masks, too. Smelled and worked great!

Jade Strawberry: I used Prell and it was good for greasy teenager hair. Also used Breck, Halo, and Faberge Organics. Your vintage glass bottle of Prell dates mostly likely post 1978 because of the UPC bar code on the back label. Still a very cool find. Hope you're doing well.

Stacey Gallard: My mom use to wash me and my sister’s hair with Prell! Then when my sister discovered the cool Clarol Herbel Essences in the 70’s we both wanted to use that shampoo!

Sherry K: I used Prell as a child. I was born in 65. My momma used the Dippity Do and the hair spray. I also use Queen Helene products. I love the cocoa butter facial scrub and the cream and lotion, also in the cocoa butter formula. The cream comes in a big tub. I think it's 14oz. I'll have to try the cleanser. I just love your channel.

micro-babe: I'm a hairstylist and I love vintage stuff. That Queen Helene hair cholesterol was used a ton when I was in cosmetology school as a mock relaxer and mock hair color for practice. And Mason Pearson is legendary! I'd love to have one for myself and eventually for my kit as well.

RebeccasRoses: I love your video. It sure brought up memories. I remember the Prell bottles were glass when I was little. We had a porcelain bathtub and my mother gave us the bottle and took it away because she was worried we would break the glass bottle on the tub. I remember Dippity Doo. My mom went to Beauty school in the 60s so she really used it on me. She put in rollers with the Dippity Doo then I sat under the hair dryer. The hair dryer was sooo relaxing. I also remember her using Alberto V05 on my hair. The good old days. <3 Stay safe and well!!

Melissa Joy Artistry: Wow I gotta say your channel is growing faster than I've EVER seen on youtube!! You have a one of a kind approach to your vids that's intimate, along with the vintage aspect which many ppl love. I have no doubt you'll reach a million by the end of the year if you keep this up:) Hope you are doing well & thanks for still uploading despite what's going on

Rosé Chardonnay: I remember Prell! They still sell it it's actually a good shampoo for oily hair. Great video!

J H: The Queen Helene Mint Julep mud mask is also pretty awesome!

Mia: Vo5 hot hair oil treatment used to come in little plastic twist off caps. came 3 in a box.

Maryann Lockwood: What a lovely distraction these videos are! i still use prell shampoo. We had it when I was a little girl as well. the last time I used the hairspray you showed was about a year ago when we were in France. I had forgotten my travel size hairspray and was able to buy a small can of it in a pharmacy. I haven’t used that brand in years but it was familiar to me so I grabbed it!

darlingmoon: My mom used VitaPointe hairdresser on my sisters and I. It is very inexpensive at beauty supply stores. Its formula has changed but it still a good product.

Cinders Molloy: I always pre-condition once a week with Elasticiser. An amazing product as are all the Philip Kingsley prescription products. I have used it for years and for even longer I have been using Vitapoint. It is used also to smooth your hair after styling, not just the ends but all your hair, gets rid of any wispy bits and leaves a lovely smooth finish, particularly on a vintage hairdo. Not a big user of hairspray but definitely have used Elnett

Lolas World: Does anyone remember Pantene shampoo before the brand became a drug store brand? It was green and the smell was amazing. It was sold in department stores like Marshall Field's circa 1960's.

Wendy Muir: Anyone else remember Tame Clean Rinse? Or Breck shampoo?

sassiebrat: I grew up in the 50s. My mother used a conditioner/detangler called Tame, and it was fantastic. She also used VitaFluff shampoo (not sure of the spelling anymore); it came in a jar, not a bottle, because it was THICK; you had to scoop it out with your hand. I remember loving the smell! Even if you can still buy these products, they are not the same. These companies have changed formulas.

IslandMarigold: Vintage skincare products next? Noxzema is a seriously underated product!

Dagmarina Quagmire: Prell smells so good. My other favorite smell is the original Coppertone suntan oil. I think I would buy these products just for the smell.

barry jones: I remember my mother had used Dippty Do, it was a pink jell I believe, also, do you remember luster cream shampoo? Thank you for your videos

Lipstick Zombie: I think Palmer's is a vintage brand as well. I remember my US-based aunt basically smuggling Palmers, Queen Helene and Noxzema creams to bring home to relatives.

L01 J: I still use Queen Helene skin and hair products. It's what my mom bought for us when I was younger and it works today.

‘MaDonna Fitzgerald’: Have you ever heard of Fuller hairbrushes? Fuller was founded in 1906, and there used to be someone called a Fuller representative that used to come to your door and sell these hairbrushes. These hairbrushes are so good to the hair and make the hair look so neat and shiny. People have used these hairbrushes for decades, and they are still available on Amazon for a little less than $30.00. Also, do you agree that Prell smells very similar to White Shoulders?

Cathie R: I remember Prell (very green shampoo) and the smell was amazing! But be careful using it, my friend's sister-in law dyed her hair blonde (years ago) and then sometime later shampooed her hair using Prell and her hair turned green! LOL Also, I remember Dippity-do!

Muchelle Eaton: Oh WOW I haven't thought about Dippity Do forever . That takes me back to my childhood, my mom used to set my hair with that every Saturday night. She would wash my hair, and set it in curlers with Dippity Do to fix my hair for church on Sunday morning. I hated the entire process. The curlers were plastic and killed my head all night, and I couldn't sleep for the pain they caused. When curling irons became all the rage in the 70's, it was my ticket out of "curler hell", oh happy day lol. My mother curled my hair with the curling iron (I remember the first one, it was purple and white) until she dropped it and burned my neck. Then I said, no more, I will do my own hair. Oh, the struggles, but I miss those days. Thank you so much for sharing this, it was sooo great to remember those days . Stay well.

Lori’s Place: I remember Prell from when I was a kid. The commercial showed then dropping a pearl into it so you could see how slowly it dropped through the thick shampoo. We used Dippity Doo too!! Memories!

Jenny Dumenigo: A maison Pearson brush will last a lifetime I have had mine for 32 years my grandmother had hers for more than 70 years.

Sarah Ferenc: I’ve used Prell as a clarifying shampoo. It’s basically dish soap. But it does the job, lol.

S Homer: It’s so fun to see the tried and true products for hair.

KathysBeautyCareChats: The vintage prell bottle! omg my mother used to put dipping do in my hair! I thought elnett was new! loved those! You do such a great job and loveeeeee the music!

T Rae: I remember being fascinated with Dippity Do and the bubbles that were all through the jar. We only ever had Prell shampoo and Johnson’s Baby Shampoo growing up.

BionicBear: I noticed that your vintage style Prell bottle that you believe is from the 1950s actually has a barcode on the back label. From what I remember, it’s been about 10 years since I was in school for Graphic Design, but if I do remember correctly barcodes didn’t come into common use until the mid 1970s. So anything with a barcode likely isn’t older than that. ‍♀️ ... Btw, I love your videos, especially the ones like these where you show vintage products still available today. Thank you for helping others to connect with the past and our elders in a tangible way. It’s always cool to see pictures of the products they used, but actually being able to use them yourself is like stepping back in time, if only for a moment. So thanks again for helping facilitate those little magical time travel moments.

Vincent Balducci: Thank you so much for this!!! I’ll be showing this to my cosmetology class I teach! As a hair dresser I use peel only if there is stubborn color after using a color remover! It’s a very strong alkaline shampoo. We used Queen Helen back in school their cholesterol was one of the big game changers for damaged hair back in the day!

Blue: How about the VO5 hairdressing in the metal tubes! Love your channel so much!

Mary Lou: OMG! I remember Prell! LOVED the smell of it! They used to sell it with a fake pearl inside, which I loved to watch it slowly go up and down when you moved the bottle. I also used Dippity Do! That stuff works if you don't want your hair to move!

Clarisse Fricks: Laura, you should also do videos reviewing these products, the ones you used and what you think about it, if it works and all that! I would love to see that❤️❤️

JamieGee: Revlons Flex Shampoo and conditioners were amazing! I had waist long hair from high school throughout college and these products made hair smell and look incredible! Up to about 10 years or so ago I was still able to buy the shampoo on Drugstore.com. I keep hoping it comes back but Revlon isn’t interested in retro anything except lipstick, they even ruined my favorite fragrance Ciara by changing the formula I presume to make it cheaper.

Emily Gilbey: I have really dry frizzy hair and am a hairstylist and I honestly love vitapointe and Mason Pearson brushes. You can't beat them still!

Britney Castillo: Always wanted to try Dippity-Do btw loved this video was very interesting to know how old some of these products are✨

catmama54: Wow really brings back memories cause I’m 65 and used these products. Prell was great to use if your hair color was ever too dark, would strip it right out.

California Glo: I used Prell in the 60's. My late father used the Three Flowers on his curly hair. This video brought back wonderful memories.

Spirits of Fashion: I remember Prell, as we used it growing up. I also remember setting my curly hair with Dippity Do and giant pink plastic rollers to straighten my hair!

Penny Pike: I still use Prell today and I love it!! I work in a factory so Prell helps clean my hair and scalp from all the sweat and dirt. It also prevents my neck from breaking out on my hair line

iluvmyboba: Sis, you are good. You always manage to find some amazing vintage products. Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time.

Debra White: This was so interesting Laura! I forgot all about Prell!!!!!! I remember in high school I tried it but was very drying on my hair

Jaynene Ewing: I tried Prell somewhere around circa 1970, because I loved the emerald green color. It made my hair feel like straw and it went straight in the garbage.

Wendy F: I love vintage because some remind me of my childhood - I haven’t heard about Prell for so long I forgot about it. I wonder if the hair conditioners are good or better than stuff today.

Teal Chastain: Prell is still around?! My grandma used that stuff. It's a wonder Prell didn't burn the hair clean off her scalp!

KATHLEEN MACDONALD: Prell is a great body wash. It contains ammonia so it is really strong. I also like it for my hair. It gets so shiny.

Jill Padelford: You missed Tame from the 70s. It made combing out my hair after shampooing much less painful.

Rebecca Davis: Used to use Prell shampoo all the time! Loved the fragrance !! In fact, Prell used to make a concentrated version of this shampoo that came in a tube just like a tube of toothpaste. It was great for traveling because it hardly took up any space and because it was concentrated, you only needed a little bit to completely wash your hair. I wish they still made this in the concentrated tubes again.

Joanna Scott: I just discovered your videos and had to subscribe! I used Prell as a kid and still have a bottle just for the fragrance. I have used Elnet, but don't care for the smell. Love your videos!

Yaelra R.: Growing up using Prell, it was basically detergent. Would make your hair so frizzy.

Sharon Smith: I've used hair cholesterol and it's very good for dry, damaged hair. love your videos.

Michele Pohl: My mother washed our hair with Prell as kids and I continued through high school, and I also used Dippity-do when I set and wrapped my hair to get it straight.

Elizabeth Ramos: I was born in 1971. I remember that Prell shampoo had the little pearl in it. I noticed that it no longer has the pearl. I still love Prell shampoo and still use it. My Dad used Tres flores pomade on his comb over. Every time I smell Tres Flores it reminds me of Pop's.

Sara Zink: I remember Halo shampoo. And I loved Prell when it came in the squeeze tube. Many other old timey products can be still purchased at Vermont Country Store.

TessTN: I remember the 'pearl in the bottle' Prell commercials, too. I also remember how mad my mom got when 5 year old me took a real pearl from her broken strand and dropped it in her bottle of Prell! Vintage packaging is great, but I have to say that I'm not at all nostalgic for glass shampoo bottles. They didn't mix well with wet, sudsy hands and cast iron enameled bathtubs. OUCH!

Mai: My mom used three flowers on her hair when I was little, such a nostalgic scent!

Laura Samat: My mother always bought Prell for the family to use,. When I hit my teens, I really hated that my hair, which had been curly when I was little, was frizzy and not silky straight like all of my friends. Then one time in science class, the teacher showed us how to check ph levels with a strip of treated paper made for that purpose. Prell was one of the samples we tested in class. Let's just say I stopped using Prell immediately and Mom never bought it after that!

Susan 88: I remember using Dippity Doo with curlers. And I use L’real Elnett hairspray all the time. The best!!

Lavinia Marigold: My mother worked for P&G for 40 years and I remember us having Prell shampoo and it was in a tube. I can smell it just thinking about it. I used Dippity-Do in the 80's but it was a blue-green colour. I never saw a pink one before.

Rebecca Foster: I just loved Irovy shampoo and conditioner. It smelled so good!!

Native Virginian: Nothing feels better on your scalp than natural bristles. Relaxing! I have a Crabtree & Evelyn natural bristle hairbrush I bought for $40 25 years ago. It’s in great shape, still feels good. They all seem to cost a fortune these days.

mary torres: How about Alberto v05 hairdresser? Love these types of videos and background music. Avon used to have shampoo and conditioner in a pink plastic containers. It was the best ever but sadly they don't make it anymore. I also love Flex and wheat germ oil and honey shampoo and conditioner. It was very popular

Mermaid Gma: From the 1970's - Short and Sassy had a companion product Long and Silky. I LOVED that conditioner, but they quit making it. Used Johnson & Johnson Baby Conditioner for years, but they quit making it.....

Shadow Claw: I showed some of these products to my grandma who was born in 1949 she actually remembered them and said she used some of them! I thought it was so freaking interesting!

Robert Gwisdala: I alternate between Pantene, Herbal Essences, Aussie, Dove, Suave, Tresemme, Head & Shoulders, Prell, Pert, Alberto VO5. I shampoo and condition my hair twice a week. Pantene, Aussie, Prell, Tresemme, used to be sold and used in salons years ago! Fun fact!

mrinalini devi: Yardley brilliantine hair pomade! My mom used to use it, and now I do.❤

Dumplin D: I remember dippity do. My sister still uses prell and sweats by it. Definitely going to try that brush , a good one is so hard to come by. Thanks for memorie lane.

Patti Werts: I ❤️ everything Queen Helene!

Wanda Turner: What about protein 21? I think that was so awesome! My hair felt like silk and shined so like a star! I loved it!

Patricia Como: I love prell I've used it , love the body you get with it great product

Cara F: I love Queen Helene products. I haven’t used the cholesterol hair stuff though I don’t think it would be good on fine hair.

Natalie Angelo: YES VITALIS MY DAD USED ,,,,SO FUNNY TO SEE ALL THESE PRODUCTS THAT WERE AROUND FROM WHEN I WAS GROWING UP IN THE 60S

Mary Clark: My aunt Rosella used to always have Prell in her shower. This was in 1979/1980 when I was around age 5. Every time we went to her house I would go in her bathroom and smell the tube of Prell shampoo. It's funny because I don't remember what shampoo we used in our house :-)

Yvonne Barash: Anyone remember Lemon-Up? It had a plastic lemon on the top of the bottle and smelled amazing.

lovemutts: I tried finding the V05 hot oil treatment recently. It was big in the 70s but I wasn’t able to buy it. It was really nice.

Zoe Oneeva: Love the Seinfeld episode that mentions Prell, Jerry is joking with Elaine that he shampoos his hair with Prell and it’s cleaner than hers in effect because she uses the shampoo you find in the Health food stores.

Fidato Resource: I used Queen Helene Cholesterol back in the 1980 s when I was doing crazy things to my hair. It made my hair super soft! Enjoy!

Mariane Culek: When I was little, in the early 70's we used Prell and Herbal Essence...both green and in glass bottles! I can remember the commercial ditty for Vitalis! "Heads start turning to (or with?) Vitalis

Aynge Mackay: The smell of Prell brings me straight back to my 80's childhood. I love it.

Kashmere Love: Fun and great video thank you. I remember Prell when i was a kid it was great shampoo. Wonder if it still is. Yes Queen Helene Cholesterol i have used as well. All there products i like.

Katie Wray: I used to get Vitapoint when i lived in England, I forgot all about it, it was so many years ago! Good stuff that

Texas Tea: Ive seen the Pearson brushes for sale in the Vermont Country Store catalog. My grandfather used Tres Flores his whole life =)

Megan Williams: I don't recall ever seeing "Prell" on Australian shelves ( I'm nearly 60). That vintage Prell bottle looks similar to the old "Loxene" bottles of the 60s (Lox disappeared sometime in the early 80s). My late Grandmother and her sister used to use Dippity Doo in the 60s.

Susan Mitchell: Glad to see it in your video. I still use Prell and think it’s the best shampoo out there.

Janna Watson: Johnny Carson : “ Dippity Do. What forms on your dippity early in the morning?”! I loved Aqua Net Hair Spray. Probably the best for the flip :)

Regina Kasakevics: Boy do I remember Dippity Doo! I had very curly hair as a child. I was little in the sixties and my mother would slap this stuff on my head, especially on my curly bangs. She would comb it straight and tape it down with pink hair tape. I then wore a soft bonnet dryer for an excruciatingly long time since gel slowed down the drying time. I remember it came in pink and light sky blue. It had a pleasant light scent which I always enjoyed. Of course as soon as she ripped the tape off my bangs my hair would quickly boing back into curls. She never gave up trying to straighten my hair with it though.

Wendy Muir: You can still buy Wella Kolestrol. Company dates from 1880, and Kolestral first hit the U.S. Market (under the name Kolestron) in 1945. Elizabeth Taylor was in their early advertising. V05 original hair dressing was developed during the 1950s was first advertised on television in 1955, and is the number one hair conditioner in the United States today.

Diana West: You can still buy Body on Tap shampoo in Vermont Country Store- It is more watery, and quite harsh, by today’s standards- I mix a drop with my moisturizing shampoo, and it does smell nice, and seems to help clean my hair ! But always condition well after

Megaladon Rock band: I used prell and my mom used dipty do to set curlers in our hair when I was little!

Molly Edwards: I have a mason brush with the bristles they are amazing I love it so gentle on your hair
