The betrayal of Jessica being 100% gay🏳️🌈 and having hair that’s 100% straight 😭
I was hoping someone would comment about that! 🌈
And having scoliosis, as she once pointed out herself
~duality~
I kept hoping she'd comment about that in this vid, but it didn't happen. Glad you brought it up in the comments, hahaha.
My hair is straight when short, then gets curly at the sides when a bit longer, then it goes straight again. Then all wavy.
How does my hair reflect my sexuality?
Well, I'm pansexual, so I guess it tracks.
I know you picked those pictures as sample of “bad” hair, but I think you looked gorgeous in every single one of them.
The straightest perm i ever seen got me
I've always had a typical "masculine" hair cut (like, the hair you would expect a 6'3" white man in the U.S. to have). But I let it grow out from the very beginning of the pandemic, and it's now just past my shoulder blades! Currently trying out every method short of a curling iron to put curl and bounce in my hair.
Maybe I'll give foam rollers and a vintage curl pattern a try! I really love the idea of taking your typical hairstyle and putting it on my tall, bearded, gay-man frame 🧔♀🌈
Sounds amazing! Love the beard and long hair combo !
We need pictures of this! ❤️
Yes, get it Kevin!
It's worth trying using curlers or fabric ties. These work on my fine hair whereas curling irons/straightening irons brush straight out.
If you want something even more feminine try a french twist using a french twist comb!
I would love to see Jessica do a victory roll, and beehive just for diversity. I bet she will look gorgeous in them.
Just an FYI....She's not only done a victory roll but did a short tutorial as well . I can't remember how long ago it was but definitely in the early days of the channel...hope this helps 🌻
@@jellybean6567 Thank you so much. I need to look it up. Now, the beehive.
Yes! A whole week of different vintage hair styles
@@carlyblack42 Exactly.
@@michelletackett9489 you're welcome sugar!
Do I wear my hair in a vintage style?
Nope
Will I be watching this intently, as if I do?
Yes, yes I will
Same same!
@@firefly24601 I think it is because she is such a good storyteller.
@@jennifers5560 hard agree
me too!
Same🤷♀️
I absolutely second the rag curls tutorial! We need to bring back the days of the Jessica Hair Tuto. Your Grace Kelly set is STILL my go-to hairdo when I want something that will last and is cute - and that's saying something considering I, and that video, have both been around since before you hit 25k.
yes, please
Yes, yes!
Likewise, something that works and doesn't add heat damage? I'm in and need to watch that. 100% need.
Loepsie did a great rag curls tutorial. It's from a while back but it's great.
@@rosacanisalba LOL I'm a LONGTIME Loepsie follower too! I love Jessica's tutorials because she plays with different hair setting patterns and explains them so well.
I was diagnosed in 2020 with two different cancers. Even though I didn't have chemo, the hormonal stuff and stress made my hair really thin so I have up and buzzed it all. Now in my 40's I'm rocking the mohawk I wanted in my teens and loving it. I too have super slick fine hair. and know the agony of not being able to keep pins in it.
I absolutely love how Stevie/Josie and Jessica /Claudia have the same dynamic of shy gf and extrovert gf 💗
Right? That combo works!
Hair is a big part of my family. (Unfortunately or fortunately) I inherited the need to change my hair every 1-3 weeks from my mom. I've had cornrows, French braids, afros of varying shapes/sizes/curls, finger coils, micro braids, ponytails, weaves, yarns, curls, dreadlocks, buns, bantu knots, halo braids, straightened, beaded, blow outs, beaded with charms, finger waves, beaded with feathers, etc., etc.. Oddly enough I've never dyed my hair, but I think I want to be a red head when I eventually do it. For now I will just enjoy my auburn wig until the time comes.
During quarantine I've finally started embracing my wavy hair after years of straightening it (yes, it's ironic given your hair story). I started learning how to style it properly, so that the curls would actually look good. I'd say it went pretty well, even though last autumn I bleached it and toned it blue, so it was a bit damaged.
But since russian full invasion I spent several months without regular water and electricity supply, and also fled my home city without any hair products. So by the time I got to a "safer" city, my hair was damaged and brittle. I chopped it all up to my chin, and now rarely have energy to just wash it, not to say style it in any way.
I hope I'll come back to curly hair routine. And I also want to dye it green (I had it orange, red and blue before). But I have so much gray hair now, so who knows how bleaching and coloring would go now.
An invasion really puts hair issues into context. 🥺 I hope you stay safe and that the war is over soon.
❤
The grey might hopefully make it easier to dye your hair fun colours? I highly recommend Hair Buddha's channel for help with lightening hair too, he's very funny too? I am so sorry for everything you have gone through and are continuing to go through, love to you❤️
Sending love and prayers your way! And green hair sounds extremely cool ! You definitely have to do it at some point ! ❤️
Hi, fellow Ukrainian. The current war really puts a lot of things in perspective. Hope you're doing better though.
Can I please also point out how ludicrously adorable Little Jess is.
Has a look of my little girl actually.
Her hair is too fine and straight for slides, too.
Didn't know I have curly/wavy hair until high school. No air conditioning, so I'd just soak my hair before leaving home in the morning.
First time I did it one year.
A friendly girl in my math class just stares at me: What the heck have you been doing to your hair everyday!! You have gorgeous hair! We need to talk at lunch!
Mom's family doesn't have curly hair. It comes from Dad's Dad's side, all boys.
So Mom taught me to comb and detangle my hair when wet, until strait, then brush it when dry.
On curly hair you get poofy fluffy hair doing that.
And detangling was a pain, so it never got let grow ling enough to really weigh down.
Its lovely hair now. I cut it myself. Only ever had one hair dresser who did what I wanted. So why pay when i can get what I like in my own?
I cut my own curly hair as well. There is a shocking lack of hairdressers who actually know how to deal with curly hair. I have left salons with wet hair after asking a stylist to not straighten it after cutting and had others straighten my hair and cut it straight so it turns out all wonky when it goes curly again
I had a very similar experience growing up, then I discovered the Curly Girl Method when I was eighteen. Totally changed my relationship with my hair! I get mine cut by a curly hair specialist who cuts it dry.
I only learned to stop brushing my wavy hair at age 32... I'd lament how the first day of air drying was so pretty, but then every other day was a frizzy poof, haha. My hair is short at the moment so I don't even bother to comb it anymore
Another wavy/curly hair who didn’t know how to care for it. I never really did much with my hair, frizzy but fine. Then my friends convinced me to cut it to just above my shoulders. Omg. I looked like a frekin triangle it was awful. Since then I just let it grow and only wash it ~ every 2 weeks cause it actually starts to behave after about 5 days and gets the most compliments about day 10.
I finally found a shampoo conditioner combo that basically straightens and defrizzes my hair. Doesn’t hold a candle to the good curly hair days, but beats triangle hair hands down.
I love that everybody has story of how they mistreated their hair during the teenage years
I'm with Josie - your hair is THE standard, Jess. You inspired me to buy the foam rollers and give it a try a few years ago, but I'm afraid I still haven't managed to make it work. 😅 Love these light hearted videos. ♥️
I would love to see Claudia do some masc-femme vintage styles! The ones you do Jessica are delightfully feminine. But I know next to nothing about butch vintage styles.
The irony is it’s actually more difficult to create a style like this with naturally curly/wavy hair. My hair is thick and red and wavy/curly, but it’s also porous and rough and frizzy. It doesn’t respond well to brushing. I tried rag rolls a few times, and brushing them out always resulted in a giant frizzy mess.
Did you brush against your hand? It might also be worth combing it with a thick comb again against your hand to reduce frizz
apparently, success is achieved by using certain products before/during the "set" process (such as Lottabody setting lotion, etc). And whether we have stick-straight hair or luscious natural curls, the hair simply doesn't take to the style without some sort of curling method to "tell it where/how" we want it to curl. (I have similar hair to Jessica, and only RECENTLY learned these tricks from other UA-cam videos for vintage hair, including Jessica's "accidentally perfect pageboy" and "essentially drunk hair curling" - I may not have gotten those titles exactly right, but definitely check them out!)
I have very tightly coiled afro textured hair, and to me the rag coil results sound similar to the results of a twist out. Twists are basically wrapping two sections of hair around each other, and when you unravel them you get curls. However, you never brush out the curls, that will just eliminate all definition and create a puffy afro. We gently separate the curls with our fingers.
Next time you try rag curls, I guarantee you'll get better results if your hair is moisturized with leave in when you wrap them, and if instead of brushing them out when you take them out, you gently use your fingers to separate the curls. Curly hair can easily achieve these styles, we just need a different strategy
When I was little I had but a whisper of a wave in my hair but my dad is black and has Afro hair and over time it’s just gotten curlier and curlier to the point of growing up instead of down, I like being masc and having my hair short so it works perfectly for me, I barely have to style it I just pop some water in my hair and shake it about before I leave ❤️
Also it might just be the Scandinavian in me but I love your little baby lego hair 🥺💕💕💕 so cute
This is why I love foam rollers! People are always shocked I do vintage hair for EASE! It takes a little more work upfront, but it saves me hours of time throughout a week - hours I just cannot waste on my hair due to an energy limiting illness. I don't wear makeup either but most people want their hair to be neat and mine takes ages to achieve neatness "naturaly. So hurrah for foam rollers!
Also I'd recommend getting a misting spray bottle and filling it with water. We don't have similar hair types, but sometimes all hair needs a little misting to help with styling.
Try using rose water for a little Extra
It's kinda interesting to hear about someone's hair journey as a person who never dyed her hair, didn't change hairstyles all that much and could be labeled as "grunge" (meaning, I don't always brush or wash it). The entirety of my hair adventure boils down to cutting my hair shorter and starting to wash it more regularly.
I love a Christmas video on how to rag your hair, as a child my hair curled in Shirley temple ringlets, but has relaxed since. It would also be so Christmasy.❤️🎄
Yes please to the Christmas video from me, too!
❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤
OMG, the hair journey…
My father’s side of the family had red hair. That meant, at family reunions, we were a sea of redheads of EVERY shade!
Though my brothers and sister had curly gorgeous rich color of red, my hair was thin, fine, straight as strings, and the brightest color of orange 🍊( enduring constant bullying)!
That meant that every time for school pictures, my mom would feel the need to give me an old fashioned early 50’s home perm. I totally relate to the some curly some straight, but all FRIED!
Every Saturday night, to get ready for church the next day, I was tortured with spoolies or brush rollers. So I’d get tortured all night, and by the time church was out, my scalp was injured, and most of the curls were out.
By high school, I decided to go for blonde,like really bleached blonde. I was so happy not to have orange hair. By the time I reached my junior year, my hair was changing from orange to red-yippee!
At 20 I was married, and quickly pregnant ( that was common then). For some reason pregnancy changed my hair to, fine, thicker, and wavy hair. My 2nd pregnancy made my hair even thicker,and slightly curlier!
Menopause (lack of hormones) has left me with fine, but thick, curly ( very curly) , and a lovely shade of red! I’m 72, and I still haven’t had to cover gray!
Horrible beginning; very happy ending 🤩‼️
A sponsorship that is as entertaining as the main content. So well done 👏
Yes, it was fun seeing Josie in it too.
I enjoyed it! 😊
Yes, please. I would like to watch a Christmas rag curling video!
So... When I turned 30, I got an ombre done with the bottom part of my hair... It went from blue to purple to bubblegum pink to finally an orangey red over the span of the next year as different colours faded out. Then I chopped it off from elbow length to about my ears to help out a friend who was auditioning to be a hair stylist at a fancy salon. He got the job. 😊 And now my hair is shorter than its ever been since I was 12. 😖
I put my hair in pincurls for my first wedding. I left them in until right before we left for the venue fifteen minutes away and put in half a bottle of hairspray and did not touch my hair. Got there and finger combed and did the other half can. Lasted half an hour.
Perms did work if I used the smallest size they had.
Jessica’s signature red curls are better than natural - - they are her creation!
My mom cut my hair when I was 6 and I never forgave her for it. I vowed then and there that I would never cut my hair again. I wanted it to pool on the floor behind me. I wanted to fully channel Crystal Gale.
I didn't quite manage that but my hair is comfortably around my waist and although it's straight, refuses to hold a curl or style, and hisses at me if I so much as look at conditioner (it doesn't tangle, I don't need it), it *does* stay put in a bun that requires no hair pins or elastics. So that's fun. Plus I get to impress little children at the store when I let the bun fall and my hair cascades down my back. Very Disney princess. Highly recommended.
Crystal Gayle! That name brings me back to my childhood. She was the goal for long hair!
I was giggling throughout the video. I did all the things you did. I remember the last perm I ever received; my hair was fried and it broke off and fell out. I never got another perm. I gave up on curls and surrendered to my straight hair. Then alopecia hit and now I wear wigs or just go with a buzz cut. You have lovely hair. And a wonderful sense of style.
"It's been a hard week, my first week at the job."
"With your wonderful boss, right? ☺️"
"Yes, Claudia"
🤣
Edit: OMG, YOUR HAIR CAME OUT STUNNING! It always looks great but WOW, they should definitely book you for actual commercials 😍
This video is helping me love my curly hair just a little more, cause I can just shower, put in product, and let it dry. Mad props to all the straight-haired folks out there who deal with that! (or you curly haired folks who straighten your hair)
I love story time with Jessica! I am laying around with a horrid headache and she still makes me laugh. High praise indeed!
I've been blessed with naturally really strong hair, and as a child, it grew so long that I could _sit on it_ if I wasn't careful. My parents refused to let me have haircuts, so I would only ever get split ends trimmed. It was also very, very blonde, so other children often called me Rapunzel. When I was in secondary school, I asked my mother if I could dye it and cut it. She was really hesitant, 'cause she didn't trust that it would grow back as strong. But we did it, and then I had average, roughly shoulder length, red hair for a few months. That later went down to a bob. Changed the dye to black and kept it up until I was 19 and couldn't be bothered anymore. Had a pixie cut around 21, and that was more comfortable. Then I had to have my head shaved, and ever since, I've realised that I absolutely _adore_ having short hair! Plus, it really suits me and gives me more confidence. So even though I probably _could_ grow my hair out to butt-length again, I don't ever want to. Having that much hair in summer was a nightmare.
Same. My hair is very thick and grows like grass. As a kid I cried every time I had a haircut because I wanted to be cool like my metalhead older brother, so my parents respected it, but was always a chore to take care of. Always felt a low-key ache in my arms for holding all that heavy hair up while washing. One day I may go back to my true metalhead roots (see what I did there?) but for now I'm really comfortable rocking just alt goth fluffy short hair, dyed bangs just for spice.
My hair journey: As a kid I wanted to have as long hair as Rapunzel, so I didn’t cut it at all. It stopped right below my hips, though. Then I wanted to color it brown, but I learned that you should not color red hair because it’s more fragile or something. Four years ago I decided to donate my hair, so I went from hip length to shoulder length. I’m planning on continuing donating it every other year or so. I’ve done it twice by now.
That is such a cool tradition! I'm glad yours grows fast enough to make that possible...
This was so interesting! I had red Shirley Temple curls as a child but at around age 10 my hair changed to a dishwater brown and lost most of the curl. Bits of it were straight, bits of it were wavy, other bits were wavy but only at the bottom, it's just a disaster. I used to use the scrunch and curl method and it kinda worked sometimes but I wanted something more consistent so I looked of hair curling methods on UA-cam about 4 years ago and it took me to one of your videos and I've been following ever since.
Funnily enough I have red hair cut into a bob, and when I curl it I always do a wet set. I get out of the shower and let it dry a little before putting setting lotion in it and rolling it. Maybe because it's short it dries faster, but sometimes I do take a hairdryer set to cool and help it along a bit.
what setting lotion do you use? My hair has always been pin straight like Jessica's, never holds a curl especially now that I'd stopped dying it and went back to natural. Used to be dishwater brown like yours but now that is in vouge I guess lol
@@aliplay5 I use Proclaim super setting lotion. It's very blue and comes in a large bottle for under $4 and doesn't leave my hair feeling sticky, waxy, or crunchy. You might need to speed drying up with a hair dryer on cool if you have longer hair or less time but I've found it works great for me. My stylist did recently recommend eufora brand foaming setting lotion but I haven't tried it yet.
When I was a child my mother would use the rag method on me and my little sister. however, due to being blessed with long and thick hair, by the age of like 10 they would not hold for anything in the world. I have a memory of being 12 and having curled my hair with the rag method so I'd have curls for school and the curls just "falling out" whilst I was walking to school and my hair being back to being pretty much straight by the time I arrived at school
My hair was pin straight as a child. Any dance recital, my mother would put curlers in my hair, and take them out like seconds before I was to go on stage. Hair was dead straight again shortly after. Photo taken right before going on, hair looked great. Photo taken at the awards some hours later, hair is straight.
And then I had a baby at 28 and my hair is curly now. Hormones be wild.
During the pandemic, I suffered a traumatic event and had my first (and only thus far) episode of trichotillomania. I pulled out a large clump of hair that gave me a very noticeable bald spot. So I shaved my head. I had toyed with the idea of shaving my head for years but I was scared. In that moment, I was already f'd so if it looked bad, oh well. Now I'm happy with my short hair.
Your hair is gorgeous! In my opinion, a little bit shorter suits you better, just below you shoulder looks amazing and with a more vintage vibe. Love your channel!
Please do rags for a Christmas video! Maybe as part of a vintage party look.
I remember reading 'My naughty little sister' books as a child and one story was about her next door neighbour giving her rag curls.
Josie is lovely and does look like a 90's Calvin Klein model 😊
I would love to learn more about your time on Top Model, should you be willing to talk about it. I’m American, and America’s Next Top Model was so awful to the contestants. I hope the British version was kinder. But anyway, I’ve always been curious about it ever since I learned you were on the show.
It was a show called Britain's Missing top model rather than the British version of Top Model which also exists. It was out in 2008. Might be possible to find it on you tube but it largely disappeared because it's a bit of a cringeworthy watch these days.
@@jeanettemullins Thanks. Yes, I’ve looked on UA-cam, but just found some little clips. What I’m interested in is what doing the show was like for Jessica. Of course, she might not want to talk about it.
Jessica ought to design a vintage clothing and accessory line.
Your hair has always looked fabulous. Especially, in the last few years.
Hair journey you ask? OH YES!
In 2015, my hair was 80 cm long, that is half of my height. It frequently got stuck, in zippers, car doors, in other people's clothing? Also really heavy. But apparently not all people can get hair that long, so it was cool! Then I chopped it off, to just below the ears (profile photo length) and after that things got wild.
First I did a hidden rainbow which was SO FUN! But maintaining it meant having a friend frequently do a sort of "pain by number" dye session and it was way too high maintenance.
After that I did a BRIGHT pink ombre, so pretty, so fun. But hard to match with fall clothes? So back to blonde. Then I got bored and dyed it sort of a unicorn purple. Which was gorgeous, until the pandemic hit and all hair dressers had to close and it faded, first to blue, then to green and then to a horrible kind of grey? So now, I'm back to blonde and my hair is on its way to getting Really Long ™️ again.
Loved this video, thank you! 🥰
My hair is a pain to look after.
I have to wash it, sometimes EVERY DAY!
Also, when I remember, I sometimes get it cut.
😁
I’ve only just discovered your channel through UA-cam recommendations. You are so adorable and witty. Subscribed 😊
I LOVE your vintage style! The 1950s was a fabulous fashion decade!
Growing up and until I was about 30 years old, I had waist length straight hair that I dyed red and usually wore down. Looked fabulous! Then chronic pain conditions and chronic fatigue came along and I moved to a hotter climate. I started having trouble taking care of my long hair and just wore it up in a bun all the time. I finally decided to get it cut. Told my mom I was going to get a haircut. She thought I meant a trim. I came home with hair that was a couple inches long! Now, 10 years into my short hair journey, I have my boyfriend cut it with trimmers. I just had him cut it a week ago and it's 3/4 of an inch long! Pretty much a buzz cut! I love the way it looks, I love the way it feels, and I love how easy it is to take care of! And he loves it, too! So much cooler, too - it's been 100+ degrees F here a lot this summer, and is still in the mid to upper 80's in September.
I've missed these videos so much! Would love to see more hair/vintage/fashion vids from you
Your vintage hair videos are how I found you years ago. Love them and all your other content!
I love this topic, Jessica, your hair has come a really long way since you were young.
Yessss I've been waiting for this video for forever!!!
absolutely yes to new hair tutorial videos! love those
Jessica love your hair and your vintage style, you suite them very well.
It's was a lovely surprise to see Josie in the video! I love that she is your new PA
So interesting to hear & get peaks of your hair journey thus far. I love your hair & fashion videos, well vintage in general honesty, & would love to see more of those videos
Yeees! More hair video's! I will take any at that point 🤣 My favourite vintage hairstyle is from your tutorial ❤️
I've SO missed your hair videos!! Thank u!!
omg Josie!!! that’s so exciting!
I’d LOVE a Christmas hair ragging video! 💜 This was lovely. Thank you for sharing your hair journey with us!
You have been my hair inspiration for so long. I’d love an updated foam roller video! I can never figure out where to put the rollers!
Love this video! Wonderful story telling, thank you for sharing 🥰
I’d love to see more hair tutorials. You got me hooked on the foam roller method. Whenever I’m in the vintage mood, it’s my go to.
This sounds like a journey that eventually was successful and enjoyed this story a lot, and love seeing Josie and enjoyed this video a lot. This has been a very interesting and learning video for me, and thank you so much for sharing this great video. Hope all is going well with you three
I always loved the hair tutorials and would love to see more x
I was today years old (having used foam rollers intermittently for probably 12 years with mixed success) when I learned that you could wet the curler rather than just your hair..... 🤦♀️
I just dyed my hair ginger after admiring yours for years and I am in love with it! I'm really lucky that I can dry roll my hair because it is naturally curly and textured so holds well
The Christmas video idea is great. It gave me a vision of curling up with a cup of hot chocolate and watching it in December.
I find it so interesting as I am a natural red head and I have curly hair and it was awful as a kid. Everyone made fun of me and said I had spiders in my hair. Now it's like a trend how things have changed!
It feels like much of your hair journey of fighting to make super straight hair curly is very similar to my own, having tried many of these methods over the years (the childhood bowl cut look was very like mine was just instead with very dark brown hair). I'm currently growing my hair again so I'll take your extra tips and try again once it's long enough 💗
i've always admired your favulous hair!! cant wait to hear the saga!
Jessica and Josie are such a great team
Oh my goodness! I used to rag my hair as a child too!!!
Yes to the Christmas episode ideas!
This is my hair story! Straight as a stick is what Nanny always said, and everything just slides out, headaches, terrible haircut in 5th grade traumatic, never cut again 😒. Grew long, wouldn't take a perm..... yup yup. I feel you girl! 💜💜💜💜💜
I am definitely on team more-hair-videos! My hair isn't as straight as yours, but it is so fine as to almost be invisible, so holding a curl is still a Struggle For The Ages, and your tutorials have always helped me most 😂
You are always immaculately turned out. I didn't know how long it took you to get to this stage.This was just your hair. Will you be showing us how you got to your whole vintage look Jessica🥰
I love your hair tutorials!! Crossing my fingers for the rag rolling video around Christmas!
Your hair is indeed the gold standard these days. I follow your roller set tutorial religiously, and the amount of joy my hair brings every person who lays eyes on it is palpable. Everyone loves a random vintage encounter in their day!
baby Jessica is so cute! also that teenage hair is good, wish I had such hair as a teenager!
Jessica, I love the way you style your beautiful red hair. It's very rare to meet someone like you.
The part about hearing your hair sizzle really took me back. My hair is naturally dark brown and wavy, which wasn't acceptable to me as a teenage emo boy in the mid '00s. I had home-dyed black hair (which I ruined my friend's bathroom doing the first time) that I would wash and straighten every single morning before school. Did I blow dry it before straightening it, you ask? No. I put that straightener at the highest setting right to my towel dried hair. Every day. Nothing quite wakes you up like being burned by your own boiling hair water in the morning. I would literally boil the (permanent) dye out of my hair within a couple of weeks and my solution to that was just to dye it again over and over. This went on for about TWO YEARS. Luckily my hair is very thick and strong because yikes.
I started watching your channel what seems like 5+ years ago because I liked knowing how you got that beautiful color and general look. It has been a nice few years not only learning how you are able to maintain your nice look but also learning much more from your history videos and videos around the UK and so much more. You have a very nice channel and please keep making such diverse videos alone and with your lovely family.
How fun! 💕 also having stupid flat Scandinavian hair and can’t do anything with it. And can’t sleep with anything in my hair bc can’t sleep then. But I’ve accepted my faith 😌 and I’m happy for you!
I definitely would love a Christmas video we’re you rag your hair!
I just love seeing so many pictures of you throughout your life! So adorable ! And as a fellow straight haired girl, it’s all very relatable! 😂 I laughed so hard at the rag method because I remembered using Pappilots which is similar but with styrofoam thingies that were very unreliable. I still hoped that everyone would think my hair was naturally curly hahaha
Thank you so much for this video!! I have trouble with my hair from how fine it is and FOAM ROLLERS!!! Thank you!!
I exclaimed out loud at the curls they gave you at the salon - GORGEOUS!!!
No matter the age or hairstyle, she always brings the class and elegance.
I would love more videos on your Vintage Journey how you came to find your style...this hair video was awesome for me! (I too have that kind of hair and I would love some curl!) Thank you!
I've been so sad because I've been sick. I haven't been able to make time for my hair.
Thank you for posting this video
Loved seeing the pictures of Jessica when she was little and as she grew up! So cute!!! I’d love to see Jessica show how she does her hair now and how she did it when she used to rag roll her hair. I also have super straight hair that hair clips and pins just slide right out of. Mine is also a bit thin and fine. I used to get perms done regularly to try and get the wavy hair I wanted, used curling irons, and hot curling rods when I was in college. I finally realized there was no way my hair was going to hold a curl and gave up. I got good hair cuts that suited my face and lifestyle - wash and go, for the most part. Then the pandemic arrived and I’ve grown my hair to about the middle of my back and either have it up in an ponytail or a bun using non-slip hair clips, which do eventually slip but at least stay put for a few hours. Fun video!
Yes please! To a Christmas hair-rag-rolling video. It would be so cosy 🍵🎄
yayyy i’m so early! i could watch jessie talk about literally anything tbh
I’m with you on that.
i must have replayed the section where you demonstrated the zigzaggy, confused curls 10 times. also, i am a huge fan of rag curls and foam rollers! overnight, heatless curls are my go-to. i just cut 14 inches of hair off, and it's still to my bid-back. now it is so much easier to put in the vintage styles i love.
I’ve always had wavy hair, thanks to my mother’s side. 😊 I love your 1950s vintage style. You have gorgeous hair. I enjoyed seeing Josie on here too. Thank you for another wonderful video! ❤️
Every good hair style starts with a good cut. Would LOVE to see what kind of cut you have!
I really miss the vintage fashion videos! Please do more style videos like this!
Yes! I'd love a Christmas video on how to rag hair :)
Through all of high school my hair was long, thick, and curly. But what was bad was I brushed it, so it was big and frizzy. The best thing I ever did was get my hair cut short (very gender-affirming too). Makes it so easy! Now I'm having a difficult time, I've been growing my hair out for the first time since then (like 7 years?) And I'm so at a loss on what to do LOL. Also resisting the urge to chop it off again.
From someone else with curly hair who also didn't know what they were doing for a LONG time because everyone in my family with really curly hair also cut it short to not deal with it (and therefore couldn't teach me).... I feel some people make it more complicated than it needs to be.
Basically all I have to do is just condition, add product that holds the curls, and dry it nicely. Shampoo every few days.
We have the exact same hair type and I was literally anticipating what you were going to say by like minute 5 :'D Anyway, you are gorgeous, glad you found your own style!
Lovely video as always. My hair is extremely thick and too heavy to curl, but I generally have it in braids anyway. Just thought I’d mention that your cc said pink curling a couple of times instead of pin curling ❤.
