I had fun watching you -I'm 61- I watched my mom and my sister (she is 12 years older than me) curl their hair all the time-mom used V-O5 -i sat for hours when they went to the beauty shop-mom would sit for 45 minutes to dry her hair. Thank for the memories💋
I enjoyed this video. I've never watched a brush out of this kind of style. I didn't understand how the set would translate into the bouncy wave or curl you see with the finished Style. Watching you brush it out, I could finally see. It's kind of like the concept of of "twist" when you're spinning yarn. The Twist has to go somewhere. That is, the energy of the twist in yarn, or string, can either be caught up in a short area, where it over twists, and curls back onto itself. Or, you allow the twist to run the full length of the yard, say 12 in. Then, because you're allowing the energy of the twist flow, the energy becoming spread out out over a greater distance. Here, all of the energy of those individual curls flows downward, once you start brushing it out. Rather than hurling back onto itself in a comp if you haven't brushed it out, that energy still wind up in the form of those waves at the bottom of the hair. Sorry, it was a simple analogy in my head. But trying to write it out so that it makes sense to someone else, it wound up being more complicated than I intended.... This hairstyle really looks good on you. Also I like the sleeves on the dress. I would like to have seen the full length of it. New subscriber. First time commenting. Hello! 🤗
That’s actually a great analogy! I’m glad you were able to understand it in a way that works for you. An my dress is actually my dressing gown. I have a short that shows it off better.
Lovely results! Definitely worth the effort you put into it. I don’t know if I would ever have the patience to do it myself but I love learning how to do it properly! ❤
I usually just brush out my style from the day and sleep with a silk bonnet on. I don't re-roll or do anything special throughout the week. I have a series called the "Life Cycle of my Wet Set" here where you can see how my set evolves over a week.
Thanks for sharing the process of the brushout- looking for the blue hairnet wrap. Can you share a link for it? It looks different from the hairnets on your site. Thank you!
Heat tools will give a different outcome and the curls won’t last as long. If you are looking for a long lasting authentic 1940s look, pin curls or foam rollers are your best bet.
If it's naturally drier, you need to make sure that you are properly hydrating your hair to begin with, typically frizz is a symptom of other things that are happening with the hair. But topically, hair oil and pomade (as shown in this video) can help. I have a video talking about how I dealt with frizz when I lived in Hawaii, there's great information in there that I think would help you. And remember, a certain amount of frizz is absolutely normal and gives you a very authentic look. So sometimes it's best to embrace the fluff and frizz.
Thank you for this video. I am anxious to try a wet set. I have a question. I am in my second month of my curly hair journey and I have watched your video for styling vintage natural curly hair so im grateful for that video. My question is, since I'm transitioning my hair and right now it almost always looks terrible, do you think that this wet set technique would be harmful since I'm trying to go natural or would it be a good way to continue transitioning my hair?
Wet sets are pretty safe especially for naturally curly hair depending on the products you use and how gentle you are with rolling hair when wet. I would stay away from any setting lotions with a high amount of alcohol. You can try making the flax seed setting lotion, that would be great for your hair. And when brushing and rolling the hair when wet, just be gentle, don’t pull the hair too tightly around the roller. The hair is weakest when wet. Also remember that it takes time to build the tension memory of the new curl pattern. So don’t be surprised if the first several times you have frizz or your natural curl pattern starts to fight through. This is normal and you just need to be patient. I know you are anxious, but you’ve got this! Have fun with it and learn from any mistakes you might make. 🥰
You wouldn’t be able to achieve a brush out like this with just brushing out natural curls/texture. I have naturally curly hair (type 3b), and natural curls have a random curl pattern. You need the wet set to create a uniform curl pattern and to relax the natural curl. Brushing out natural curls will only give you frizz.

Thank you for showing us to create such a beautiful style! Also, love your green print❤
Thank you!
Really lovely results ❤ I am curious how you keep your hairstyle during the week, how you refresh and sleep on it etc.

This one is a vintage hair net that I found at a flea market.
Can you do this with a curling iron or are rollers better

Hi! I love your wetset series 💕 but I wish to know how avoid the frizz during the brushout, because my hair si very dry and wavy... is a mess 😔

Great. Thank you so much. I will be making the flaxseed lotion too!
Where can you buy pillow rollers - ive never seen them before.
I bought them on Amazon. You can find them on my favorites list here www.chronicallyoverdressed.com/favorites
Can you do this with naturally curly hair? Or do you have to put it in curlers?
