    I think most girls who keep a hair set for days (or more) will tell you that brushing is the key to keep hair clean without a build up of grease. The oils produced by your scalp (unless there are odd circumstances, like infection) are meant with that 100 strokes of a hair brush to be distributed through the hair to keep it shiny and protected. When you see Marsha Brady brushing her hair 100 strokes, that's why she's doing it - it was the conventional wisdom until shampoo commercials told us we were dirty unless we over-washed our hair. I'm quite guilty of over-washing my hair, though! I'm apparently very susceptible to shampoo commercials, lol.

      @@anavillegas6199 - That's because you wash it every day though :P You constantly wash out the oil, so your scalp constantly has to produce more to replace it. My hair used to get greasy after just a day without washing it, but since I got used to washing it less and less frequently, I can go 4 days before it begins to get greasy and flat.

      Hahaha, yeah, a "good, brisk dusting" would not improve my health or beauty at all. My family would've come home to a frightful sight where my teary red eyes and runny red nose did absolutely nothing to bring out any natural beauty or soft lines... And they'd be left disgusted by the pile of used Kleenex and left hungry because I wouldn't have been able to stop sneezing, much less cook dinner! 🤣
      My Mama and Grandma kept fit for the longest time trying to keep up with a huge brood of kids each, though. My Grandma could've fit right into this commercial; she "briskly walked" every morning of her entire life that I knew her, until cancer took her down! Mama tried, but we really just drove her a bit crazy... And we lived in the country, where it was impossible to get to our house without driving on dirt roads, so any and all dusting was vigorous by necessity. 🤣
      As for the makeup, I think we were lucky that all of the females in my family (and most in Mama's and Daddy's) used the minimalist approach, beautifully demonstrated here (though we used less). We weren't even ALLOWED to wear makeup until we were 16, but even then, we didn't wear much, if any. I didn't start wearing it really until I started working in corporate America (Except my fun and awesome black, silver, and dark purple stuff when hanging out with friends (before Goth was Goth), but that was only for a short time).

My dad was going through some boxes he had packed from my grandmother's house after she passed away. He found a shoebox with some of her makeup from when she was younger.

    Very fun video. Yes, the recommendation to brush your hair with 100 strokes a day was common in the 1800s and up to the 1960s. As you mentioned back then they shampooed only once a week. Using a much less harsh shampoo and hair powder everyday instead. Brushing distributed both the natural hair oils and the hair powder which would pull out dirt and excess oil. Did they actually do this much brushing in the 1950s....probably not because those curl sets were meant to last 3 to 5 days. A common 1950s way to tell someone you couldn't go out on a date was that you were "washing your hair" that night. Which could be true because washing, setting and brushing out hair took a long time.

      The22726 Got it right. They had a set "hair wash" day back then, and you washed your hair with the very harsh shampoo they used back then. Every day they brushed their hair with boar bristle brushes to distribute the natural oils and pull the oil from the scalp all the way down the hair shaft. I have curly and frizzy hair and yes, brushing it like that will make it frizz at first, but if you sleep in a silky hair cap (I use a $4 satin cap from WalMart!) and brush it regularly, your hair will eventually calm down and get its natural curl back.
      I admit, it's a bit of a pain to me, so I only brush my hair before bed, when it doesn't matter how frizzy my hair gets. ;)

    I've never done the BBB (boar bristle brush) brushing with 100 strokes a day even though I have tailbone length hair, only because my hair is curly and prone to damage, but other long haired ladies I know swear by it to make their hair soft and distribute the oils. Definitely old school and I'd try it if I could! Otherwise, I love this makeup. Nowadays it's easy to forget that you don't need 5 shades of eyeshadow and a fancy brushes to just do makeup.

    • @EmmaAppleBerry
      @EmmaAppleBerry 6 років тому +1

      Diana Pinto I recently cut 13 inches off my hair it was tailbone length too haha. I found no matter how much i brushed my ends still were much drier than the crown scalp area and by the time the oil would be enough at the bottoms my scalp looked soaking wet and super shiny lol yeah didnt try that again. Although i will say when i used a towel to sort of blot off extra oil and used some dry shampoo on the scalp it was extremely soft shiny and nice... maybe if i could continue for longer until my hair adjusted and stopped producing so much oil it may work really well but idk my scalps sensitive and unless i washed it every second day at the least and just brushed my hair normally not the rapunzel strokes it would be super greasy. So yeah. I find that most people with long hair also have horse shampoo and that really helps a lot. I did look into boar bristle brushes as well but unless i seperated my hair into about 40 sections it never really got brushed but more polished and i have fine hair but theres a lot of it so its thick. I dont have curls i have straight hair but even i cant brush mine with anything but a paddle brush even the bamboo ones cant reach my scalp and do a good job. If you had less hair i suppose it would be less of a burden to split you hair in sections or wash it more frequently and distribute oil naturally but as you probably know waist length or more and its heavy and time consuming and good god ive had a lot less headaches and dont need an entire palm of conditioner and my hair hasnt gotten thosr birdnest or even dreadlock style knots sonce cutting. I do miss the blanket feel and the more feminine classical elegance to it so i will be growing it until all of it is waist length again but i doubt ill grow it beyond that i draw the line at sitting on my hair and it always got caught in doors bags zippers around my neck under my arms lol just id find hair everywhere haha. Waist length seems to be much more manageable more mermaid than rapunzel. I thought if i had shorter hair (i cut my hair myself) id be able to do more things sine it be lighter because when it was long id always just put it in a ballerina bun or a side plait but now since i cut the front shorter to longer at the back it falls out of buns and yeah gets in my face more and well im glad i did cut it because i wouldnt survive another australian summer with essentially a wool blanket over me but im still wishing i had done a clean straight across cut at my back bra strap length so it wouldnt feel as if i gave myself a bob with a mullet lol well you live and learn. Nice to see another long haired lover out there because its so hot where i live most firls dont have hair beyond shoulder length so i got a lot of remarks and stuff about me being scared of the hairdresser and other crap because i didnt want to cut it ive had waist length or longer hair since i was 16 im 24 this year and before then i always had boob length hair no fringe or anything the last time i had a different hairstyle was like as a 5 year old with a bob and fringe haha so yeah. Until then ive just been braiding my short front hair and pretending i didnt cut so much off haha.

      I have waist long hair, quite dry and straight and I decided to try BBB (not 100 strokes bc I'm too lazy). In a matter of days my hair got so soft and silky that hair ties and clips would just slide off. It also helps make my greasy roots less noticeable when I get to day 4/5.

    • @DianaDistorted
      @DianaDistorted 6 років тому

      EmmaAppleBerry yeah, it seems everyone has a different experience with the brushing but the key factor seems to be that the brush needs to be real boar bristles only, and for curly hair like mine I'd have a hard time justifying brushing through it so much. I've always felt most like myself with long hair and can't imagine having it short, but if I had to have it short I'd do vintage styles every day. Not being able to do vintage styles is my only drawback for having hair this long. I'm still growing it out because I want to see how long it gets and what length I'm most comfortable with having it.

Anything with a cool, blue hue--like slate grey, light lilac, or even a light steel blue, makes my eyes pop. So I actually agree with "old" color matching more than I do with new...

    Do you think you could substitute a modern synthetic puff for the cotton balls so you dont have to keep torturing yourself for these videos? I love my puff and it both reminds me in looks like the flattened cotton ones my grandmother used to use, but in feel and texture on my skin like the lambswool I used when I danced to protect my feet (pointe). They may work better for you and they are less wasteful since you can wash them like your brushes - or even toss them in the washing machine on gentle in a lingerie bag and then on the cool setting in the dryer if you dont want to wait for them to air dry - mine usually takes about 36 hours to fully dry out in a sunny window.
    I also remember my grandmother going to the salon to have her hair washed and styled once a week, she would use a shower cap at home so she never got it wet the rest of the time. This was in the 80's but she was a young wife and mother in the 50s and according to my mom her routine basically never changed from then.

    12:10 - they definitely had powder puffs and big fluffy makeup brushes in the 1950’s! I think what this tutorial is trying to say is that applying makeup with a disposable applicator is the most sanitary method. Unfortunately, cotton balls are/were the most universal disposable tool for the 20th century (and 21st, LoL)!

    This was fun. I have fine wavy blond hair. It is down to my hips. I can tell you for my hair I wash every 4/5 days. Brush out about 75 strokes a day, not all in one sitting that will kill ya. Braid the last day or two. But it is usually up. If I shampoo more often it gets dry and just not healthy feeling. I have tried treatments and conditioning therapies but really just not washing as often and brushing keeps it healthy. My hair has changed so much in the past 10 years. Anyway thanks for these blasts from the past.

    That was fun! Loved the makeup - very pretty look on you, and I don't the the eyeshadow look was "retro & dated" at all - it's what the MUAs call a "one shadow look" these days (rather the same way "old fashioned" contouring with multiple blushes (rouge) has now been renamed "draping"). I hope you can find more of these film clips, because I'd love to see this "series" continue. It's been great to see how many of these old tips, tricks and methods still have value today (and how many of them are some of my makeup routine fundimentals, taught to me by my gran, my mum, etc). Oh, and I had to laugh at the no makeup to school thing - I'm Aussie and girls have never been allowed to wear makeup to school (uniforms are still worn here too)... we'd try to cheat it by wearing tinted lip balm, but you'd be reapplying it 10 times a day after every time a teacher noticed it was suspiciously not natural and made you wipe it off. LOL.
