1950'S Pinup Hair Tutorial - Wetset And Styling A Bob With Fringe

Hi everyone and welcome to today's video. So today I'm going to be showing you how I sit and style my new haircut, so I've only recently had my hair changed. I cut it into a pretty blunt bulb with a fringe as well and had a completely dyed green. So I'm very excited it's been about two weeks or so, and I washed it a few times since yeah. Here we go so to start off with I'm just brushing my fringe to the side and trying to create a side parting with this new haircut, I'm wearing it as a fringe with a center parting. At the back. I have a lot of trouble, brushing my fringe to the side and getting a fringe in the first place, because I have a pretty extreme cowlick. So I'm just running some sitting spray over it, I'm starting with dry hair and I'm just trying to dampen it with the sitting spray. It'S a diluted sitting spray, I'm not actually sure what brand it is, but mister Flossie parts brought it back for me from the UK. So this is actually my first time using this with Slash sort of competition rollers with the pins. I usually stick to foam rollers or al, occasionally: pin curl it either with pink curling clips or um just bobby pins. So it's a bit of a learning curve. At the same time as trying to curl my hair, there are a lot of sections I kind of have to read: go over and do a few times, because I'm figuring things out, as you can see here, it's quite difficult for me to incorporate my fringe into These longer sections I'm rolling up, because I've got more of a blunt cut, the hair, the top nearest. My fringe is the longest so incorporating the teeny tiny bits into it is a bit difficult. I'M taking the hair up, it's probably not a 90-degree angle, I'm taking the hair away from the head. Realistically, it's maybe 75 degrees, but you want to be able to get some volume in at the roots from just the seat itself and here just sort of fiddling with that, but trying to make sure it's curled it's hard, because my French is quite short. So the sitting sperm I'm using is about our 1 to 1 dilution with water. I didn't want to dilute it too much, because this is more of a sort of fast stick. I was just doing it on the day, not sleeping in it. I left it for a couple of hours, so I wanted the setting spray to give a really strong hold the sections I'm taking are about half an inch to an inch deep and then maybe a couple of inches wide. I want narrower sections that I can roll across the whole body of the roller with foam rollers. I would usually go with foam rollers. I'D go, maybe an inch deep and then I'd sort of do more of a square section to roll. It'S mainly because my foam rollers are a bit larger than these. I think these might have had a diameter of half an inch at the tip and the ones I tend to use 5/8 of an inch or an inch to an inch and a quarter. I'Ve had a few sizes and it sort of varies depending on my heel ends when I buy new ones and I sit with different sized rollers. So I'm rolling all of the rollers down, and this set usually I'd kind of mix it up and do a few different angles, but I wanted sort of quite a cleanly rolled pageboy sort of style, so just one of them all to be swept under. I really like these rollers. I think that the pins make them a lot more secure as this so long that you end up pinning through your first roller and hitting the one at the back as well, really locking them in place. So I've got these four different kinds of rollers. I think they look about the same size, I'm honestly not too sure if there's a difference between them, as I was just given them, I'm still putting different colors in different sections of my hair, as it shows our piece here and it's the kind of thing I Would do with my foam rollers anyways it's! You know, it looks a bit nicer. So here is the finished set on my hair. My camera actually died, so I couldn't show you everything, but honestly it was just more of the same rolling rollers down it under. As you can see, a few of them have loosened off in there one of the back is barely clinging on. I had them in for a couple of hours, while I sort of doing things around the house, they did get a bit jostled, I'm just removing them. One by one, starting at the centre back and working my way up, it's a lot easier to take out rollers from the bottom up. Otherwise, you've just got here tangling in two rollers you're trying to pull underneath there and that's just yeah. If you're new to sitting your hair, definitely pull them out from the back and then sit from the top down. I found these relatively easy to take out of my hair as well. There are a couple of rollers which snag a bit, but for the most part it was pretty easy. I definitely wouldn't use this with the roller on here. Much longer as it's just far too small ended up sitting a long week with these rollers and it just really didn't work out. There were sections of here. I ended up having to cut out because they just got too tangled it's nowhere near as bad as like. Velcro rollers, but it's still just because it's sharp plastic gripping into them instead of like against soft foam. So usually, when I take my rollers out, I get you know that chili temple sort of looked like these really tight curls, but I found with these. It was a bit more sort of rough and all over the place, it's more about Bellatrix Lestrange kind of vibe, especially with the hair color as well. So I'm just running my fingers through it doing a bit of a finger brush just to see where areas are wanting to go making sure there are no not separating it out blending the curls, so I'm taking my trusty paddle brush for this. I always brush out my sets with a paddle brush. Now I used to use one of those. You know, white tooth Denman comes that everyone recommends, but it just wasn't doing for me what it seemed to be doing proved real one else. I really like a flat paddle brush because it just smooths everything into place quite quickly and really shapes those waves, or at least it gets the waves into place for you to shape them more or define them more later on. So the hairs got a really nice amount of volume. I liked that about these rollers. As you can see, I am having a bit of trouble with this big sort of section. I I did struggle with it with the seat. I found it was just too much hair and it was too thick on one side next time. I would definitely kind of stick to sitting my fringe and then doing not so extreme a side part. I might even just do a middle part and maybe have one side tucked behind my ear, so I'm quite happy with how the other side is shaping out just moving it down with some hairspray and using the back of a teasing brush. It'S not easier to smooth hair out with the back of a brush. If you use your fingers, the hairspray does tend to stick to it and pull some hairs up, so I'm just shaping the bank now brushing it out and then and using sectioning Clips to get that sort of pageboys bump in the back. It'S really such a beautiful shape and it does just clipping it and hair spraying. It will make such a difference to how the back of your set looks. The French ended up, really beautiful, which I was really happy with. I wasn't had no idea how it was going to go. I don't think I've ever. I haven't had a fringe for probably 60 years and when I did have a fringe, I never they say I always just kept it in sort of a bitty being style. So I had no idea how sick my French was going to go over yeah. I ended up being quite happy with it, so I'm taking out the clips and then just popping another one back and as I'm trying to get this hair, that's weighing down the side. More to the back, so I'm just brushing it rec spraying it and then clipping it into place to make it sit, and it gives me a lot more time to focus on kind of hand, moulding the curls at the front and shaping them as I go along. I'M just making sure to hairspray and lock into place a bit, so I'm happy with, because if you don't do there, you may have a bet, you're really happy worth move on to something else, and then you brush against to your bumper and it's ruined. I would always work on my hair kind of section by section by section being happy with it and then spraying it out so here I'm just bumping up the back kind of reinforcing that shape and spraying underneath it getting it to really hold that place and they're, Not being quite happy with it, it's more of a sort of late 50s early 60s, you know Betty Draper from Mad Men when the curls were becoming a little bit looser. It wasn't so kind of tight and defined curl. It wasn't. What I was expecting would happen with the set, but I am really happy with it, and here is the finished. Look, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I was a little bit concerned about the fringe because I didn't have it cut and just sort of a BT being things where I intended. But it's got such a great wave and I'm really excited for it, and hopefully my hair will stay sit for longer. Since it's got bleach, so it's just a little bit more textured. I usually have Dinge straight here and I've been dying it black over dark brown for a number of years. So it's just a bit too smooth and hasn't got enough like grip or teks. Just so hoping this will hold a lot better. It was really fast to do as well. So I put my rollers in with just a sitting spray diluted and I let it dry for about 2 hours before taking them out, and it was completely bone dry, totally killed, which I'm really thrilled about I'm also using a new type Roller that I came in Used before these sort of Swiss competition rollers, which you put pin through so these actually belonged to my Nana - and she recently gave them to me, so I'm super excited to try them out. I really love that you can get a stick done quite quickly means, if I don't want to I'm gon na, have to sleep in foam rollers overnight. Mine are quite a bit bigger as well, so I think I can just wake up early pop these and do a quick spray and then get about my morning. If I'm going out and sitting my hair thanks so much for watching, I hope you've enjoyed it and I hope you've seen that you don't really need a super like vintagey cut to Missy style of vintage. I'M not really a fan of a MIDI that layering doesn't work on me. I prefer a blunt cut and I'm really really impressed with how this turned out and stoked with the fringe as well. So thanks so much for watching I'll see you next time.
