I've been doing Velcro hair curlers and the trick is drying your hair first about 95% mostly the roots (for my hair which is wavy/curly). I also use mousse to help the volume before blow drying and hair oil. The trick to pulling them out is not doing it slow and unrolling it btw! You gotta pull it out like you are brushing your hair, one seamless pull.
Allison definitely is the epitome of comfort and warmth for the season! 🍁loving the rollers 🥰 so funny I am heading to FL and you came to my city NYC! 😅
So so excited to watch the NYC vlog, especially since I was there with you 🥲 Thank you for being the sweetest and most magical person, meeting you and Brandon was absolutely unreal and such a dream come true, I still can’t believe it happened to me! 💗
I love the subtle waves the rollers gave you! I think the more you do it the better you’ll get at it ❤ also I’m so happy to hear that you’ll be in my city (NYC) can’t wait for those vlogs!
I'm now 22 years old and I can't believe that I have been watching the amazing beautiful and talented Allison Bickerstaff since 2019 and her content is so inspiring and creative ❤️ ☕️🍂
Allison, u really have friendly soul&heart of gold! 🥰 U are really kindhearted person and very bright and assured human.Such a gracious and benevolent person,dear Allison. I really admire and enjoy in your videos, I am very appreciative❤️
Hey sweet Allison. I really love your videos and I'm so grateful for knowing you! 🥰 It's so wonderful to live in a world where there is fall but I'm starting to see Christmas decor and my mind is already excited and thinking about that time of the year 😅 but I'm going to enjoy fall till the end of the month 🍂 and your content truly help me live in the present and enjoying every single day 🤎 wishing you a lovely week full of love and happy cozy moments 🥰
Another happy, cozy, magical vlog from our dearest, Allison. Allison, you are the most loveliest soul. Thank you for endlessly pouring sunshine into our lives. You are truly very beautiful from your heart and the most precious gift to this world. May you always remember how special and deeply loved you are. I hope that you and Brandon had the best time in New York City! 💛
Your editing skills are truly amazing! Your videos are already amazing, and then you blow me away with your editing skills. Thank you for being so consistent, and inspiring me to see the best in everything:)
Hi Allison, I'm Renata, I'm from Brazil and I really looove your videos. I've been watching your videos on UA-cam (all of them) every day, since 3 months ago. I reeeeeally love them!! You're a such nice woman, brings me a peace when I need and calms me when my life is a storm. I have a daughter, she's 6, so you can imagine how non stop my life is. Rsrs I'm so thankful for God to met you here, on youtube. Keep going this incredible and inspiring woman! You make my days more happy and lively! Thank you so much for everything! Take care, you, Brandon and Palmer !! 🧡 Xo
I’ve been watching your channel for 3 years now and I’ve never watched someone so relatable. You’re so full of love and warmth. Thank you for continuing to do UA-cam and inspiring. You continue to inspire me for my channel. You’re calming and peaceful to watch during my most anxious and dark days. ❤️ God bless you and the family 🙏🏼
I was laughing so hard at the shot when you’re painting your nails and your camera focused on the iced latte! 😂😂😂 she wanted to be the star!! Love your videos ❤️
How cute is Palmer! I love your videos, they are the highlight of my day. Hope you have a wonderful time in NYC, can't wait to see all the fun places your visit. Safe and happy travels!
My fav fall dressing:Maple Dijon salad dressing 2/3 cup olive oil. 1/3 cup rice vinegar. 4 Tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard, salt and pepper to taste and 1 tsp fresh or dried parsley. Shake in a jar and refrigerate till ready to serve.
good morning 🙏🏼 morning worship and notification from Allison..... start of a cool, rainy Austin Texas morning! que Dios te siga bendiciendo Allison&Brandon!
You're so great! I've been watching all your videos reminiscing about my time as an exchange student in the US! Would absolutely love to visit Florida someday! I just know you'd love the Oregon Coast this time of the year, it rains (a lot), but it's lovely! Already waiting for the next video, here from Brazil! God bless you!🙏
Loving the rollers! If you want that vavavoom victoria secret volume and bounce, I recommend putting them in with damp hair (no need to curl before), blowdrying with them in, then blasting with the “cool” feature on your blowdryer and THEN leaving them in for an hour (or more!) Also, the angle you roll them in matters. You want the strand of hair your rolling to be pointed as high up as you roll. I hope you have fun experimenting. So so looking forward to your NYC vlog and details on that plaid jacket!!!
Allison is one of those UA-camrs that I have related to these past couple years. l’ve been watching her since 2019, now l’m 23 and I see her as a big sister. You inspire me so so much! I thank God for YOU, the motivation, & encouragement you bring to my life everyday 🤎🍂
Just wish to say again that you add to my life especially around autumn and the Christmas season! Cheers to you Allison, you’re such a bright light to many of us🍂🙌🏽💕
So when I was a kid, in the 80's, I had to wear the dreaded pink sponge rollers. My mom would put them in when my hair was mostly dry but not completely. Had to sleep with them in. The curl factor was a 12 on a scale of 10 and it lasted for days. Short story long.....time and dampness.
I love when you post! By far my number one favorite UA-camr! Love you guys and I hope you have a wonderful week! I will be going back to work tonight bc I had coviod last week. So I'm finally out of quarantine officially as of today.
I am sooo so excited for your vlog in NYC!! I'm definitely going to be grabbing some ideas from your itinerary for my first ever NYC trip next month!! Love you Allison!
Allison you can get a tape to tape the dress up versus safety pins will probably tear your dress. Its made for material. Get at sewing or craft stores. Even Walmart in the sewing sections. God Bless.
I was in Orlando on vacation last week and I went to anthropology at Disney springs and was telling my husband I was secretly hoping I would some how bump into you! 🤣🤣
I'm playing catch up on your lovely videos Allison 😊 I have been trying to find the flexible pocket book series of, The Hobbit like you have shown us. I see Amazon has the collection in hardcover. Where can one find the set you have?
Alison. Heres a weather explanation 😊..it is normal for the dry season🏜 to start at in Oct/Nov after "Hurricane Season" 🌀which comes at the end of the wet season (May to Oct/Nov)🌧. As the northern hemisphere🌎 goes into the winter months❄️, the "Westerlies"🌬 ie the winds blowing from East to West over the north Atlantic weaken, so less moist rain-bearing sea air comes to Florida. The dry🌥 continental air has more influence, expanding East across the US continent to bring dry continental air from the central parts of the USA to the Florida region (hence less rain)⛅️. I have just booked our flights to the UK for a 2 week holiday with family over Christmas.. and my sons and I each have ONLY an 8kg hand luggage bag + 2kg "handbag." But we travel and fly a lot, so have learnt to reduce what we take down to a bare minimum...but it will be a struggle due to needing cold wet weather clothes😬. Alison this was a cosy and beautiful vlog as always 😊. Loved the music choices. Especially when you were cooking. Looking forward to the NY vlog. Ps. Use only the smaller rollers, damp hair and/or spray on "setting lotion".. that will help with the curls. Your hair is long, so it is quick to pull out curls.
I love that you are reading more classic literature (especially the hobbit!!). I’m so jealous that you are getting to experience Tolkien for the first time ever!
Allison 😊you have to leave rollers in until your hair is completely dry. 😮One hour is never going to work. The slower they dry the more the curl will last. I know because I only use curlers. With natural grey hair I don’t use heat tools as they can turn grey hair yellow. Just put your curlers in on a day when you can stay home until they dry. Good luck next time. You will get good curl memory and bounce. You have to be patient. ❤Also, once you get the hang of it it should only take a few minutes to do the rollers. The curls may last a whole week depending on if you have dry hair. At night put all your hair up in a bun using a scrunchy. Or one of those plastic elastics that are curly. There is no need to use a curling iron first. Wash your hair let it dry naturally until it’s just quite damp then put the rollers in. Experiment with various size rollers to see how your hair reacts. 😊
The New York City vlog is going to be a hard one for me to watch. I live in New York right by NYC but I have been stuck in Georgia since early September 🤦♀️ I miss my home and the city so much. I would’ve loved to be there at the same time as Allison.
Hi Carol! Here you go: www.loveandlemons.com/italian-dressing-recipe/ 🍋 I forgot to add it to the description but it’s there now. Thanks for watching! 😊
I read a Tolkein biography, I think just called “JRR Tolkein” by Humphrey Carpenter - it was so amazing and that’s what has inspired me to read his works! Highly recommend!
Palmer is so cute ❤also the song you used in video at around 8:22 mins is just so lovely,can you pls tell me name of that song, I feel like listening to it,never heard it before.
@@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF In a sorts, I think to get the curl without extra direct heat on the hair itself but sticking your hair dryer pointing towards the hole of the roller (they appear large for this on camera, in my mind😆) and the wrapped hair should heat slightly with the roller??
The LOTR movies are great. I personally always think books are better then movies. That being said I have not read any of the books by Tolkein. I really really want to read them. They are definitely on my to read book list. All of the LOTR movies are on Amazon Prime right now. I absolutely recommend watching them in order starting with The Hobbit and Unexpected Journey. Thank you for another wonderful vlog. I really enjoyed seeing your New York photos on Instagram. God Bless you and Brandon.
The Hobbit is my favorite book after Sense and Sensibility and one of the reasons is exactly what you described with how detailed Tolkien is. I’ve read it about 30 times and hate the movies. Not Peter Jackson’s fault. He wanted to do 2 films but the studio made him do 3

NEED the details of that gorgeous tiered dress please!!! thank you
Love your videos
Hello Allison😊Love your videos❤ Could you please tell the name of the song🙏 I can’t find it though typed in the lyrics😢
❤❤❤do you have a link for the long striped jacket with orange in it please ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Allison for your wonderful videos keep up the good work!
You are so welcome!💕
The Hobbit movies are great, but they add a lot of elements from other Tolkien works!
I love LOTR so much, and those movies are absolutely phenomenal!
The New York City vlog is going to be a hard one for me to watch. I live in New York right by NYC but I have been stuck in Georgia since early September 🤦♀️ I miss my home and the city so much. I would’ve loved to be there at the same time as Allison.
Allison, I’ve been wondering for awhile. What length and depth did you do on your harmony sofa, and what’s the material called?
That dress you are renting 😍😍 I need it
A trick to keep the curl in is to put rollers in and spray with a little hair spray.
Thanks for the tip! :)
@@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF another tip is to run the hairdryer around your head before you use the hairspray. It will set in your look 😁
I live in New Mexico; come visit this beautiful southwest state one day. It’s pretty magical and you probably will enjoy it ❤
Oh, I would love to visit ❤
I loved your thoughts on Tolkien ❤📚!
Allison loved the vlog! what is the song called at 14:12?
The Hobbit is my favorite series!!! I grew up watching Lord of the Rings and I definitely recommend you watch the whole series!
Thanks for dis nice vlog ba ba ,have fun...
Thanks for your interesting video, but couldn't find the Italian dressing recipe link🙂
Hi Carol! Here you go: www.loveandlemons.com/italian-dressing-recipe/ 🍋 I forgot to add it to the description but it’s there now. Thanks for watching! 😊
@@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF Thanks so much!
Have a good week
It is very nice and beautiful new look 👍😊💜💖♥️
Loved this video and love the long sleeve dress you were wearing! Where is it from?
Can you link the roller tutorial you watched? 💕
I read a Tolkein biography, I think just called “JRR Tolkein” by Humphrey Carpenter - it was so amazing and that’s what has inspired me to read his works! Highly recommend!

The Lake by Pastis
NYC my city! :) If you need recommendations on where to go lmk ☺️😀Lived here my whole life
Large curlers is what I used to make my hair straight.
Love your hair in these beautiful girls, so elegant!
Have fun in NY!
😘
If Palmer sleeps in his bed by the tv what happens to his little room under the stairs? btw your awesome
Love love from Kenya🇰🇪♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️❤️🌹❤️❤️
Hi Allison great video! May I know where you got the fuzzy mic cover for your camera?
Hi! It actually is from amazon!
Allison! If you like descriptive imagery, then you should try reading Outlander by Diana Gabaldon 💜💜💜
I wonder if using a hair dryer to heat the opened space in between the roller would create more curl?
So blow drying the hair after they are in the curlers? I need to tips! 😂
I was thinking the same thing!
@@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF In a sorts, I think to get the curl without extra direct heat on the hair itself but sticking your hair dryer pointing towards the hole of the roller (they appear large for this on camera, in my mind😆) and the wrapped hair should heat slightly with the roller??
You guys went to my home town From NewYork live in Texas now
Does anyone know the name of the song that was playing while she was packing? I've Googled the lyrics but I can't see to find it
Hi from the jersey shore Allison! Your so sweet and nice don't ever change!☺ love your videos thank you!

The Hobbit is my favorite book after Sense and Sensibility and one of the reasons is exactly what you described with how detailed Tolkien is. I’ve read it about 30 times and hate the movies. Not Peter Jackson’s fault. He wanted to do 2 films but the studio made him do 3
