The stylist that cut my hair the other day started off by telling me what I wanted was a style and not a cut, even though I specifically asked for a horse shoe cut that is basically a U shaped cut bc I've read that is the cut Dita Von Teese gets. (And showed pictures) He said my hair was not long enough to cut into that shape and still be able to get the style I wanted most, eventually he just suggested me not to go too short on the front but did a fantastic job with the rounded back and all around U shape even if not as deep which will be better for me for lazy non styled days. I commend him for being so understanding of my needs and wants even if we started off with a bit of a hiccup. This man (I'm staying in Mexico, BTW) ended up giving me the best haircut and all around service I've gotten in a long time which is hard to come by. He's a keeper! I'm glad even when not staying here my hometown is right across the border bc I def want to return to his salon. 😊
My hair is about the same length as Veronica Lake and what I have found over the years that works for that length of hair is to use rollers or rods for your wet sets, a traditional pin curl set ain't gonna do it. It will fall apart through out the day and won't hold up. When you get your hair cut, you should still have it cut in a u shape but the shortest layer should be right at your shoulders, and curve around from there. Make sure you brush it out really well with a paddle brush before shaping. When you are shaping make sure to start at the middle of the neck and work out to one side and then rinse and repeat on the other side. I can usually get my curls to stay about 5 days with this method. Also, using a good brush out hair spray works wonders for those vintage do's.
This is a fantastic video; I know for certain that I can't do vintage styles (my hair is even longer than Iris') but I've always wondered what the "plain" unstyled cut looked like for the most authentic 50's look - because I've never seen any starlet that didn't look perfectly coiff'd, haha. :)
Lucy's Corsetry just get some rollers and put them in your hair then brush it out the next day obviously look how you want to your roller to get the right look
I have rather thick hair and had been doing vintage hair styles for a while but they never turned out quite right till i found your Video about Midis... Took it to my hairdresser (who i found because i asked for bettie bangs and she knew it straight away!) and she cut it to style (perhaps slightly longer layers than the diagram said) Now considering my hair is bleached to death (i have purple hair) and its thick, it dosnt like to do anything i tell it but she cut it into "my" version of the midi and BAM!!! amazing vintage hair!! oh my god! Cannot tell you how happy i was! It looks perfect and I can get on with doing Victory rolls etc etc, Yours, Iris', cherrydoll face and vintage vanity help me learn how to do it all but i have to say a good cut helps so much for a more authentic look! You guys are fabulous! living ina small town and being the only 1940s/50s looking gal around you guys help me so much! thankyou!!
I'm so glad you did this video. I've seen all your previous ones discussing cuts, but they were about middys and I could never convince myself to go that short or that layered. I then had thought about just getting some layers whacked in all over, and not telling the stylist anything too complicated. I get the feeling now from this video that I made the right decision, as my hair is similar to yours so it probably wouldn't like the middy, and getting a modern layered cut won't give me the look I want. I don't do vintage styles enough to justify a cut like this yet, and lately I've been growing my hair out just to see how long I can get it, but it's all stuff to keep in mind now.
I got 4 inches taken off and left the back a bit longer and also added light layers at the bottom and what a huge improvement this made doing pin curl sets. I enjoy your videos so much.
This is so helpful! I got my hair cut into a pixie about 14 months ago so I could grow out my natural color. Now that it is getting longer I want to start trying out vintage styles again but it will need a good cut first. Thanks for the info!
I too have found that my (very) thin hair when cut in a traditional middy looks great when I first take it out of curlers (overnight wet set), but as the day drags on, it ends up looking like a 70s style. It is very frustrating! It is reassuring that it isn't only me. I think that I felt more comfortable when my hair was somewhat longer and I am growing it out a bit now, I had a better time with curls staying and I was able to do victory rolls and things. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the tip on the Rita Hayworth style needing to be layered! That's what I'm aiming for. I just got my super thick hair cut into a shoulder-length middy style, with blunt ends, and tried a foam roller set (for the first time ever) last night. The wave was lovely and just what I wanted, but the bottom of my hair stuck out like a shelf, practically. It looked like Roseanne Roseannadanna's but with a 40s wave, even after a ton of brushout and taming. NOT the look I was going for! I think I'm going to go back and ask my stylist for layers. My worry is that the layers will make it a lot harder to roll, but something's gotta give.
+starry night I have been looking all over on the internet how her hair was styled, but couldn't find anything on her. I loved her hair in Dual in the Sun. Her hair was gorgeous in that movie.
Good day Lisa. Thanks so much for pointing the haircut out to me. Will take it to my hairdresser and see what happens. Your styling is sensational. Thanks for posting. 😘
it helps if you take pics in of the style that you want to achieve. I took the info and how to instructions on how to do a middy to my stylist and she couldn't figure out what they meant! I ended up with a fab haircut though! she started the u at the front and took it all the way to the back, so I can do victory rolls, beaufonts and pin curls! thanks for the info
Long time viewer, first time commenting. Great video! I thought I was the only one on earth who I struggled with my haircut and getting my vintage styles to work. The Middy was a nightmare, while tapered layers made my hair shatter (I have REALLY bad hair). I ended up with a Jean Seberg-esque pixie cut, which I love! Thank you, because you sort of inspired that leap 😊
I wish I could have seen this actually styled, maybe at the end. I just got my hair cut in a very similar style and the layers are giving me fits when I try to do sponge or pillow rollers
This is a really interesting video , and very helpful . I live in a very isolated area , and the selection of hair dressers is limited . I have used the word " Middy" with them , and they have never heard of it , and look at me very confused . So I will try to use my words a bit differently this time , and keeping it simple , and see how I do . My hair is also very fine , and thin , so this was very helpful , thank you :)
We recently had a salon open up near where I live called Pinups Salon...sounds promising...I just have my fiance do all my cut and color (under my instruction, of course) and he actually does a really great job so far!
VERY informative. I've just grown out a total hack job and am grateful for this wording you've given for a proper cut. Just wondering (I'm an older gal) is this longer midi similar, or the same as the old 70's shag? And can you do simple "rock-a-billy' up do with this cut? THANK YOU ... you inspire me so much!
I'm so glad heather above referenced the Shag, I took the Middy Long diagram to a stylist i've used once before, and she was sort of dismissive with a "oh, that's just a Shag", and then proceeded to cut. Not knowing what a Shag cut was I really wasn't sure if I got what I asked. Would the difference be that the Shag doesn't have the 'distinct layers' that appear in the Middy cut diagram?
I have very long, thick, naturally curly hair that I desperately need to get cut soon (the ends are so split, they are awful!). Whenever I do vintage looks, I usually have to split my hair in half horizontally, braid the underneath half of it and pin it to my head, then I curl the rest of it and pin some of it up to make it look short (sorry, I know that probably sounds confusing). I want to keep my hair medium long because I love having it long when I wear it naturally, but I would really like to get a vintage cut as far as layering goes so it would make my hair easier to manage when I decide to do vintage styles. Do you know how well vintage hair cuts (such as the long midi) work with naturally curly hair? If I were to get this cut, on the days I wear my hair naturally, would I get that weird curly triangle hair effect?
I have a middi as my hair was quite thick but I have Bettie bangs, it's a pain to grow out and wondering what products you would use to help hair stay healthy and grow? x
This is off-topic...my fiance wants to move to the South. He wants to move to Alabama and I told him I would only move to TN (had incredible vacations there as a child). Is there any place in TN that is NOT high humidity??? I live in Northern IL and our summers are definitely humid but I don't think I can deal with a longer humid season than I already do. I love the snow so much that I have two snowflakes tattooed on chest/shoulder areas! I don't think I can ever move somewhere it doesn't snow but maybe I could be pried away if the humidity wasn't as bad as I imagine....
Hi lisa, I am really struggling trying to get a hairstylist to understand which type of Marilyn Monroe cut I am looking for and how to describe it. My UA-cam photo is what I am looking to do, would you recommend using this photo as a guide or is it better to describe it? and if so how? Thank you so much!
If your hair is naturally wavy, I would just ask them to give you a layered cut that is longest in the back. This should be a good start and after you try styling it a few times (a simple roller set and brush out should suffice), you'll know where changes need to be ade.
The problem is finding the mythical stylist who will listen. My beloved vintage expert now isn't cutting hair any longer. Trying to figure out if I can try to cut it myself.
I do know that there is a diffrence in the u shaped cuy for back and a v shaped cut, but for the purpose of vintage styling is itt ok to use either or best to have u shaped ?
Hi Lisa :) Thank you for all your videos. They are helpful to us who love vintage hairstyles. I think your hair is like mine. I think, maybe am wrong. Mine is very hard to keep in style. Falls down. Do you have any suggestions which rollers to use? Should I try smallest? And how to keep curl at least half of day? I use foam, I use curls spray, I use gel before curling, nothing work. Thank you for your answer.
I recently moved to a different state where I don't really know anyone and I am in desperate need of a hairstylist that really knows there stuff. Do you have any tips or suggestions on questions I can ask to really make sure they know what they are doing when it comes to vintage hair?
I have thick straight hair, its a few inches past my shoulders and its like horribly damaged underneath and I was thinking a of a 1960s hair cut, do you have any advice? ....also I like your videos their very helpful😊 @
What would you recommend for me, as I have very fine wavy sort of curly hair and its not very thick. Its about armpit length right now but going to cut shorter because im in the process of going blonde (medium brown) natural color
I have VERY thick, somewhat wavy dark hair that I dye blue-black. I also have Bettie Page bangs and my hair is pretty long (about 3-4 inches past my collar bone). I'd still like to keep my hair a little long, so do you think just getting U-shaped layers would work for me? My hair is somewhat difficult to curl, should I get heavier layers since its difficult to keep a curl?
I would just do some light layering around the bottom if you like to keep it longer. Sorry this took so long! Kept overlooking this question. Even with light layering you should be able to accomplish a better curl.
I tired the Middy and it looked horrible on me. Still searching for someone local who understands vintage style. Thinking I'm going to have to look outside of town to find someone.
I have pretty long hair, it's about waist length but I also have a long torso. Any tips for someone who likes the vintage styles but would like to keep the length? Do you thing layers would make a difference in curl longevity? Thanks!
Try using some of Iris J's hair tutorials; she has really long hair. I don't have much experience doing vintage styles on very long hair because the ladies of that era didn't really wear long hair. But she does a great job!
Thank you very much! Since posting the comment I have in fact gotten some U-shaped layers while maintaining the length and find that the styles look much better now! Wet sets actually work pretty well in my hair, because its pretty thin, so long as i set it in the early evening. Since my trim it is actually about mid-back length which is a lot easier to work with. Thank you again for commenting, there were a lot of helpful things here that I didn't know before!
Can you recommend a good stylist in the Knoxville TN area? Heck id be willing to travel to memphis for a good haircut! Im recovering from a HACK job and its finally long enough to start from scratch again. I do a lot of victory rolls and pin curls. Thanks!
I absolutely recommend coming to Memphis and letting Robin Tucker cut your hair. Make it a weekender! She is sort of a wizard and there's a reason she is used in movies so much. Just check out the cuts in the movie 21 Grams. You will see what I mean.
Although I can pull off short hair, I hate it on me. I prefer long hair and I like some 70's looks so I want to keep growing my hair, BUT I somehow cut in the U shape in my own hair. I have no idea how but I'm maintaining it pretty well. I have curly coarse hair so mine is easy to style, I just don't like doing it because it takes hours XD
The Pageboy is not a haircut, it's a curled under hairstyle that was created on a layered haircut like this one. See my Pageboy tutorial for more info...:)
Yeah, mostly you will see them at events in midtown like the Cooper Young festival setting up vendors or at live music events like when retro acts come the Shell or other venues. Also film festivals at the drive in.

My stylist didn't listen and cut my hair straight not u. :(

+StacyWayneGacy It will initially make it harder to roll, but you'll get the hang of it, and you'll be so glad you did it!
Roseanne Roseannadanna! Haha!
+LisaFreemontStreet I don't know of your familiar with Jennifer Jones, but if you are, please explain how her hair is done.

+starry night Yes I'm familiar with her...I will include this in my Diamonds and Dames request series.
Lisa freemontstreet, and vintage Vanity my all time favorites
Good day Lisa. Thanks so much for pointing the haircut out to me. Will take it to my hairdresser and see what happens. Your styling is sensational. Thanks for posting. 😘
You live in Memphis! I live in Clarksville!! Hello Fellow Tennessean!
Lady, you are a wealth of knowledge!
it helps if you take pics in of the style that you want to achieve. I took the info and how to instructions on how to do a middy to my stylist and she couldn't figure out what they meant! I ended up with a fab haircut though! she started the u at the front and took it all the way to the back, so I can do victory rolls, beaufonts and pin curls! thanks for the info

I love your blonde hair! Looks so shiny and super 3 dimensional. Love your videos, thanks so much for the info, getting my hair done tomorrow!
I wish I could have seen this actually styled, maybe at the end. I just got my hair cut in a very similar style and the layers are giving me fits when I try to do sponge or pillow rollers

It's very similar...also the Vidal Sasoon 'halo' haircut is similar. :)

Not knowing what a Shag cut was I really wasn't sure if I got what I asked. Would the difference be that the Shag doesn't have the 'distinct layers' that appear in the Middy cut diagram?
Ja McRae it really depends on the stylist. A shag does seem to be less uniform.
Great information! :D
I have naturally spiral curly hair would the middy work for me or would it be some horrible pyramid/poodle hybrid?
For you I would just do something with layers to avoid bulk...following the middy diagram will look very very short on spiraled curls.
I have very long, thick, naturally curly hair that I desperately need to get cut soon (the ends are so split, they are awful!). Whenever I do vintage looks, I usually have to split my hair in half horizontally, braid the underneath half of it and pin it to my head, then I curl the rest of it and pin some of it up to make it look short (sorry, I know that probably sounds confusing).

If I were to get this cut, on the days I wear my hair naturally, would I get that weird curly triangle hair effect?
Awesome video! Thank you! Are you currently growing out your bangs, or is your bang area shorter due to your regular cut by Robin?
My bangs are grown out and she has cut them to blend in with my cut.
LisaFreemontStreet Great! Thank you! :)
I have a middi as my hair was quite thick but I have Bettie bangs, it's a pain to grow out and wondering what products you would use to help hair stay healthy and grow? x
ScarlaDame'ure I think water intake and vitamins are what are important.
Great thankyou. So helpful

I keep trying to do a pageboy style with no success, maybe the Middy is what I need!
Yes it likely is...:-)
Although I can pull off short hair, I hate it on me. I prefer long hair and I like some 70's looks so I want to keep growing my hair, BUT I somehow cut in the U shape in my own hair. I have no idea how but I'm maintaining it pretty well. I have curly coarse hair so mine is easy to style, I just don't like doing it because it takes hours XD
This helped a lot thank you love 💕
Is a pageboy haircut the same sort of thing as a middy cut? I really need to know! xx
The Pageboy is not a haircut, it's a curled under hairstyle that was created on a layered haircut like this one. See my Pageboy tutorial for more info...:)
Woahhhh is there a vintage community in Memphis? I’ve lived here forever and I’d love to join ???
Yeah, mostly you will see them at events in midtown like the Cooper Young festival setting up vendors or at live music events like when retro acts come the Shell or other venues. Also film festivals at the drive in.
How short should you cut your hair for vintage styles? I kinda want to keep it longer.
As long as you have the layers, many length will work, barring very long hair which wasn't traditionally worn in these times.
What about a good cut for 50's styles?
This is ideal for 50's styles...as can be seen in my Grace Kelly tutorial.
