  • HyELLLOO. Since I knew we'd be busy with the move, I started filming this video a few weeks ago hehehe. I always love me a good 'let's just play with hair' video, so here ya GOOO.
    As my hair is getting longer, I've been getting a little bored with it, so I decided to take a cue from the AMAZING scarlettohair (her info is down below) and try out some heatless curl methods!
    ANYWHO I love you all!! Thank you for your patience while I get back to my regularly scheduled programming XD

    To all the people saying "no brushing!": Rachel's usually going for a mid-20th-century inspired look, which does require brushing out the set. What kind of look you end up with just depends on what type of brush, and how you brush it.
    This was a fun video! I loved seeing all the different results. I think the other person got a different result from the straws because she was twisting her hair and then wrapping it along the length of the straw rather than rolling it straight on, so that would be an interesting trial to see as well.
    Can't wait to see more of the new place once you're set up!

    • @renarde_0173
      @renarde_0173 2 роки тому +72

      I was under the impression that it depends on the size of the curls, too - like, the little straw curls were unforgiving (I really loved them pre-brush, though), but the bigger curls looked neater when brushed out. Also I read somewhere that natural curls shouldn't get brushed out, but "hand-made" should, although I don't know why?

  • @iamwindchakra
    @iamwindchakra 2 роки тому +495

    A tip, when you are brushing out curls, use a boar bristle brush and only brush the curls from underneath so they don't frizz. Also, clean your brush free from hair before you brush so those hairs don't snag what's on your head. You should also give the curls a few minutes to set to retain their shapes before you brush them out from underneath. It works wonderfully and I have thin hair. Picking apart the curls with your fingers or a pick comb works well too.

    • @punkinwriting

    Watching this as someone with naturally wavy/curly hair, this was stressful. Watching this as someone who basically grew up in a hair salon because my mom did hair for a living for a long time... slightly less stressful? Like, brushing out curls is legit. I saw it done hundreds of times. Rachel mostly needed better technique and maybe a different type of brush. Just yanking a plain cushion brush through curls is going to create that major Hermione frizz. You have to be gentle with curls to achieve beautiful vintage waves!

      @@bowenarrows7819 Keeping in mind that I am working from past observation (my mother stopped doing hair around 20 years ago), what I most remember being used for brushing out curl sets was boar bristle brushes. You can probably use a paddle brush or cushion brush if that's what you've got, but technique is important. I remember her brushing from the underside and using her other hand to support the hair, then smoothing the top layer. You can probably find some good vintage hair tutorials on blogs or youtube channels that focus on vintage/pinup style that will explain it better than I can.

      Glad there is a top comment mentioning this. Rachel - if you want some more volume and more of a "wave" effect with sleep-in braids, finger comb or use a super wide toothed comb; use just a touch of a reasonably priced detangler, divide your hair into sections, firmly hold a section of your hair near the roots without pulling the hair away from your scalp, then begin combing from the bottom . As another girl with long, unruly hair I can attest that this works well. I don't wash my hair very often so I opt to braid it every night and it never fails to look cute messy in the morning, and after taking the braids out, looks elegant throughout the day. It's my go-to also bc I can't stand sleeping with anything digging into my head. Even a soft robe belt tie thing would keep me up all night!

    Say it with me now, wide tooth comb. With a vintage set you absolutely want a brush to get the perfect shape. But with most heatless methods you want a wide tooth comb to break up the curls without introducing frizz. Also your hair texture is super reminiscent of my daughters and one thing I have found that works best is a misty spray bottle when I comb it out really makes a huge difference. But all that to say I have serious hair envy as I recently had to chop all mine off due to an unfortunate bleach incident.

However, if you ever do, I’d love to see the curls loosely split up vs brushed out, because you have such gorgeous hair and I can totally see the paper straw curls being loosely split up looking like Shakira curls/A possible Claudia from interview with a vampire look!

      When I would dye my hair, I'd the same with my traditional 2x weekly conditioner. I'd have to use a higher end one so it was typically better than any that came in the box. Even when I used the purple a few months ago, I used the conditioner to help be gentle on my hair. I also have gone natural in the last 6 or so years and let the grey shine through. Added benefit was the tub didn't seem as stained as it did when it was just dye and shampoo.

    When I watched the video a while back on how you do your hair, I decided to try to use sponge rollers on mine. For many years I've worn my wavy hair short and blew dry and scrunched it. Then I went on blood thinner and lost about half my hair so that didn't work anymore--neither did a curling iron. I kept the top short and grew the back long and just put the top up in foam rollers. It would look weird for a day or two but I learned to take the rollers out before my hair was completely dry and it works much better! I love it! Yes, it's a mullet, but I twist the back up and secure it with a barrette (now I'm making lots of them) and I love it! Thank you, Rachel, you have really changed my life and for the better. Now I love playing with my hair!

    The method Rachel used for the flexi-rods is basically just doing her foam roller set with a different tool. You can get a different effect by putting the end of your hair at the end of the rod, then spiraling up the length of the rod. (Gods I hope that wording made sense.) It makes for a *much* tighter curl that I love to wear. Though the rods I like to use are smaller than the ones she used here. Not as small as the straws though

    great fun video as usual! I would perhaps recommend being a little more gentle with the brushing for the health of your hair but the mid-century looks do need brushed. You can also get different results by changing the direction you roll in, i.e putting rollers vertically or diagonally instead of horizontally - it can give a different curl pattern xx

      @@marabuora9547before you start anything, I’d advise figuring out your hair’s porosity (how porous it is). If it gains and loses moisture really quickly, and/or bleaches really quick, it’s probably high porosity. If it takes a few minutes to get wet and you sometimes see actual water droplets just laying on your hair, it’s probably low porosity. Different porosities need different products. Then, I’d recommend looking at India Batson and Penny Tovar. If you get not the method for a few weeks or months and you feel like your hair is just naturally looser than theirs, I’d look into a wavy hair routine. Hope this helps!
