Apparently you need to use enough hairspray to make your hair into a helmet. A family member said the first time she wore her hair without that much hairspray, she felt vulnerable.
Definitely more hairspray.🤭 My aunt always told me, her hairstyles in the 50s/60s required lots of hairspray cans.😅 It was her tip, when my 60s inspired hairstyles didn't work as hers did in her youth.🤭
My mom chuckles anytime i buy anything other than elnette because she knows it's not going to work (she was a hairdresser from the 70s to the early 90s)
And also if you want that oval-everything-in-one-low-roll back edge, then you need to brush out all the hair together and it will form itself in the back 😊😊
I have never tried this hairstyle, so I can't really help you here, but that eye makeup looks FANTASTIC on you, specially with that hair. Very nice video.
I gotta say, I kinda liked the very dramatic 'mad seductress' intermediary look 😄 Maybe not a suitable every day look, but it is 'a look' and no doubt about it. For the right event and a 'big entrance', that could totally work. And now on to watching the actual end result!
You look so much older with this hairstyle ! Like you always look super cute and young and fresh. And this makes you look more mature glamorous. This is a different look ! You did great I think ! Very very glamorous !
This video was so much fun to watch! Between seeing your facial expression due to being out of your comfort zone, the window cleaner and the editing/music, this was great! I say yes to more of these!
It depends on the era you go for. In the 60s they liked to have a lot of volume. In the 50s they liked the “pageboy”. This had a sleek look with only volume at one side of the parting at the front and a big wave at the ends of the hair. The rest is supposed to lay fairly close to the head. So backcombing just required at the front. But the outcome of this set is still very beautifull😍
You need to know: I think you would look amazing in 60s styles. I think this every time I see you, and I think this hairstyle really highlighted that. Also, your makeup looks amazing!
"What am I doing wrong?!" Me, every time when trying to make a simple braid 🤦♀️ Someone talented like you should feel our clumsy people's hair struggles once in a while, too 😅 But turned out pretty at the end, nonetheless. 🌺
Hey, that's probably because you are going two ways with your PEH balance, you can read a little bit on it and learn how to 'listen' to your hair and what it needs when it's acting a certain way ☺️
Your first brush out, pre-backcombing, is EXACTLY how I want my hair for my son's wedding next May. I have a long midi vintage cut which seems to suit my hair and face. I've saved this video to it's own folder marked 'Wedding'. Thank you!
I'm so glad....that someone else feels the same way about styling hair this way! I always do everything as the tutorials say, but it doesn't work out the way it's supposed to!
So if I'm remembering correctly from my cosmetology days, you need the spray, and the back combing to be able to mold your hair the way you. Its like creating a sculpture with hair, how I remember it anyways. Also the hair cut is a big part of it. I think your effort and the final result is very glamorous
For what it's worth, I think it looks gorgeous! I've found that vintage pincurl sets won't survive the brush-out unless I use setting lotion (or some sort of setting product).
I usually feel like if I don’t get that fringe “s” wave to cooperate with me, I am going to hate my wet set that day. For me it’s what makes or breaks the hairstyle, but to master that sucker is an art form in itself 😂 that’s the part I pay super close attention to during vintage hair tutorials to see if I can pick up others techniques. I believe Miss Victory Violet has a great way of styling her bangs and it’s super easy to replicate
I say those are not mutually exclusive 😜 Boy his work must've gotten so much more awkward since lockdown though, with everybody sitting at home looking at him all day 🙈
I once woke up to two guys climbing around in the tree in front of my bedroom window. They were cutting off branches and apparently the building managent hadn't deemed it necessary, to inform the renters about this being planned. So there I was, rather 'scantily clad' (though thankfully not naked), waking up to two strangers trying their best, not to stare at me. I think. At least they weren't ogling, when I woke up and they just pretended, I wasn't there, when I got up and closed the curtains. Very decend of them, to not embarrass me any further, imo.
@@raraavis7782 oh i just hate when people don't inform about things that concern you before they happen 🙈 sounds very awkward, thank god you were lucky
@@erihussain8007 My window wasn't in anyone's line of sight and I enjoy being woken up by natural sunlight. But sure, be a dick, who tries to tell strangers on the internet, how to live their lives...that always leaves a good first impression 😏
You just achieved the look of Elizabeth Montgomery from the TV series Bewitched 😍😍😍 I loved it! I used to watch that show when I was a lot younger and I always wanted to recreate that look but I had no idea how to do it! 🙈 I love this look on you! Thank you for sharing Lucy! 💖💖💖
It looks great 😊 Setting lotion! Frizzy hair starts with the wet set so the product that is the most helpful with getting it to be not frizzy from the start is a good setting lotion while the hair is damp and then roll it up.
For me, doing a sleeker look is heavily dependent on using a stronger mix of setting lotion and pomade. Suavecito has been good for my hair, which is VERY prone to frizzing (and is quite long, so it swishes around a lot lol)
I have curly ringlet/frizzy hair normally before I flat iron it and it always makes me cringe when I watch people brush it! But I think the brush works so much better on "fake" curls than natural curls!
Which ever way you want your curls to go , brush them around your hand then pull hand away and spray , it looks fabulous on you , just beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
It looks gorgeous! You did a great job. The right haircut makes a HUGE difference to how the bottom looks, as does setting lotion to stop the curls from dropping during the brushout and a pomade to smooth flyaways and help mould the hair. Then it is really about practice as everyone has little tricks that work specifically for them but may or may not work for others. x
Very yummy! Back in the day, the first thing you did once the roller were out was apply dressing creme as you brushed it out before you start dressing out. From floofy poofy to sleek. Dressing creme is the key. X
My top tips are to use a little fabric or felt on your duckbil clips, to help reduce any potential kinks. I also like to put my hair over my hand and brush into your hand, to align the strands at the end
If your ends are too frizzy, use a comb or a brush to brush it against your hand. It will mimic the curve of your hand and all of the strands will bend in that direction. A light pomade also helps
I usually aim for an authentic 40's rather than a rockabilly/modern pinup look, so just take from this what you like. You always want to pin down any rollers that are going away from the face, having that tension all the way to the scalp is key! Having your bang roller flopping down definitely sabotaged some volume for you there. I have similar hair texture to you and I never have to back comb my bangs (I don't like the damage either!). I just make sure pay attention to how the roller is laying and how that will translate to the set. I was also pleased when you said you'd be using product, but hairspray is actually the one I never bother with! It holds your style for longer and is important for strong teasing and sculpting (like victory rolls), but for smooth and sleek styles the products you need are setting lotion and pomade! Effective, authentic, and less drying than hairspray. (Beware if you only want vegan products, vintage gal fave Lottabody has sheep oil ((lanolin)) in it.) Also yes, your rollers were too big for the style you wanted. I would also be using a paddle brush for the brush-out and focusing more on brushing the ends under and around my hand. All that said, you look beautiful! Definitely more of a 60's style. Just tips if you want to keep striving for more of a 40's look!
Love it! My grandma use to use setting lotion when she would put her hair in curlers and sleep on them. Then she would style her hair in the morning.... She would use hairspray and pomade to help tame the fly aways.
Beautiful! I used to do pincurls a few years ago, but it became too high maintenance in combination with early work hours and living near the beach (where it's always wet and windy) so I stopped doing them. Seeing your hair makes me want to grow my hair longer, cut it into the right shape and start curling again. I find the hairstyles of the 40s and 50s so pretty, you probably get a lot of compliments! I know I did when I was in my full get up. The funniest moment was when a cashier thought I just walked off a movie set lol
I love the black and white classics on TCM, any of the Monroe, Hepburn, Bacall, et al. classics actually. You DEFININTLY captured the Hollywood Glam hairstyle. You look positively divine and ready for a DeMille close up! : )
Looks great! I usually take the bottom out and completely brush, tease, form, and spray before taking out the layer above. Then I form that to sit and curl the same way. It looks more « formed » on my hair but I can’t say if it would work for you too. Maybe worth a try.
Awesome hairstyle, makeup, and dress! It looked like it took a lot of effort, but the final image... just blew my mind! I also have to add, you look more and more confident recently. Love this! Thanks for all the beauty you bring)))
I've been following your pincurl diaries for awhile, you're doing well! What I do for sleekness and to control my curls a bit more is I use a tiny bit (A little goes a loooong way) of pomade on the curls to smooth them into shape. I get the pomade on my hands, rub them together to thin out and distribute it better, then section out a curl and run the pomade down it. After that, I'll do my teasing wherever I want more volume, then smooth the outside of the shape LIGHTLY with the side of a teasing brush. Then I use a comb/brush and the palm or back of my hand (depending on which is easier for the direction I'm going for) to shape the bottom of the curl. A Vintage Vanity has my favorite tutorials, I also like Cherry Dollface and Miss Victory Violet. Hope any of this helps!
You're so funny. But keep at it, and from here it's looking great! You live and you learn, give it some time. You almost got it this time, and it looks great on you anyway. So you're one step closer now! I'd consider myself pretty much ready if I could accomplish what you did there.
You look so beautiful. The make-up alone is gorgeous on you with your pale skin. And I do think your hair turned out very nice. I have a similar hair structure to yours, rather fine hair that tends to fly away. I could never make that style work for me, but it looks great on you.
You could use a bit more of the rollers and roll them a little bit tighter to make the curls smaller. I use the same ones, from Etos 😊 what also might help is brushing the ends over your hands, shaping them.
Beautiful hair and makeup! With this look, you remind me of glamorous and mysterious Joan Bennett-but with even fuller hair than she had! Looks fabulous❣️🎬 And I’m sure the window cleaner learned something about women’s hair he never knew before, lol!
I just binged through all your pin-up videos and it looks like you're getting there! I think the key may be to use a wide tooth comb when brushing out the curls. I think the brush is making the ends frizzy. I was also a "no product" kind of girl, but some kind of holding/polishing product (hairspray or oil) and dry shampoo really help in building a look.
I think the trick when working with the ends, is you tease a small 1 inch section, then arrange the surrounding hair around that 1 inch teased section, manually shaping and defining each individual curl. But I think you did great and totally think you found your perfect hair look! Also you remind me a lot of Rachel Weisz here :)
As someone who also has baby fine hair, I think your main problem is not too technique-based. You're styling well. But you really do need a vintage cut to support those styles. Horseshoe shape cut with at least one long layer will be enough. You don't really need to go full force with those 40s diagrams that are out there to see good results. Additionally, pin curls will give you more control over the outcome of your style than rollers. Rolling things on or off base and in whichever direction will determine your final result. The 40s waterfall pattern is much easier if you alternate pin curl directions- one row clockwise, one row counter-clockwise, next row clockwise, and so on. Your result still looks really beautiful, though! And your makeup is GORGEOUS!! Good luck!! :)
I think you did a wonderful job! I followed Pinup Palmer's tutorial as well and I find that because she has a thick voluptuous hair, all the techniques do not work exactly the same for fine hair. My hair type is very similar to yours (fine with a tiny bit of wave), I have noticed that if I apply mousse (I have Jane Carter Solutions) to semi-wet hair and then roll, it adds shine when I style it pin-up/vintage. For teasing, I use a texture spray rather than hairspray, I find it makes the backcombing a bit more easier to work with. What I noticed first time I did Pinup Palmer's hair, is that I needed to mould the waves back with my hands (very gently pressing the wave creases and pushing the wave up) after smoothing the backcomb, maybe you did that as well off camera. For smoothing and sculpting, I think a softer brush might work better than tangle teazer, like a backcombing brush or a soft bristle brush. I would check Laci Fay's hair tutorials as well if you already haven't done so, she and Pinup Palmer are my greatest teachers :D For the back, in the beginning after teasing, I usually brush back the back section into one "ponytail" as if I was putting an elastic in it and then brush the hair against my thumb forming a uniform roll and then releasing and spreading it, that helps keep the back neat even when you're styling the front. All in all I think your hair looks really beautiful and it definitely has the pinup feel! I think most of my "tips" are probably impossible to understand without actually showing them, just wanted to join in the conversation :) Love your videos!
My Tip would be mix a little bit of some sort of curlhold gel with a little bit of a light Hair Oil, after you opend up the curlers. That should calm the structure and not loosen up the curl, than comb softly and Hairspray at the end of everything. The more you spray inbetween steps the more stressed and frizzy the hair gets when you rip up the structure again by trying to form them. Anyways I think it looked amazingly good in the end!💕
Awww, still looks pretty regardless. You ended up looking great! You're doing a great job figuring it all out. I have naturally curly hair that's thick, and sometimes I use my natural curls and sometimes I foam roll my hair for vintage styles. So, my hair is not exactly like yours to begin with. But regardless, I highly recommend several things to help in your journey. A Denman brush! That is what many ladies used back then, and I love my Denman. Also, pomade! Again, what many women used back then. But it gives your hair the ability to mold and sculpt without weighing down (don't use too much on fine hair). Hair spray is good, but I only use it at the very end to "set" the hair. And use the pomade to shape and mold and tame frizz/flyaways. Also, the right haircut is key. I have many, many layers cut into my hair, which does a lot of the work for my vintage styles. Having long, mostly one-length hair will be more of a challenge. You can do it, it's just much harder. For the best, kick-butt vintage and/or pinup hair on RUclips, I recommend: Cherry Dollface, Pinup Doll Ashley Marie, Lisa Freemont Street (her hair is more fine), Vintage Vanity, Fitfully Vintage. They are all amazing at hair, and demonstrate both wet-sets and heat-sets. They all do sculpted more deliberate looks, as well as everyday looks.
I dunno if this helps, but when I'm trying to tame frizz in my fluffy 1940s pinup hair, I use a Tiny bit of 18th century hair pomade. Not a lot, and not a modern hair pomade (too thin/greasy). A stiff lip balm can work in a pinch, but not as well. My hair has more texture than yours though. There is this thing I do when brushing/combing where one hand is moving the comb, and the other is smoothing down immediately behind it (helps ground the static charge that floofs the curls and makes them too frizzy). The following hand is the one with a tiny bit of pomade.
My grandma and my mom used to use lemon juice to get sleek hair, I have tried it and it works super good, maybe if you don want to use hair products you can put lemon when you put on your rollers
I discovered that the secret usually is product (using the right curling products, a good quality hairspray and the right pomades make most of the work)
I was hoping the window cleaner would come back to see the finished result
My two year old was watch this with me, and when you took out the rollers to reveal the curls, she goes, "She's a princess!"
Awww! 😄❤
Awwww.... Sweet
Впервые в жизни такое вижу
Сходство потрясающе...
Мистер Бин в женском обличии ☺️
You look stunning with that hair and make up and the off-the shoulder top. The very picture of Glamour!
Apparently you need to use enough hairspray to make your hair into a helmet. A family member said the first time she wore her hair without that much hairspray, she felt vulnerable.
Oh boy, I need to step it up then 😂
Definitely more hairspray.🤭 My aunt always told me, her hairstyles in the 50s/60s required lots of hairspray cans.😅 It was her tip, when my 60s inspired hairstyles didn't work as hers did in her youth.🤭

I have never tried this hairstyle, so I can't really help you here, but that eye makeup looks FANTASTIC on you, specially with that hair. Very nice video.
Thank you so much!
I gotta say, I kinda liked the very dramatic 'mad seductress' intermediary look 😄
Maybe not a suitable every day look, but it is 'a look' and no doubt about it.
For the right event and a 'big entrance', that could totally work.
And now on to watching the actual end result!
You truly remind me of Helena Bonham Carter 😍
Me too ! She is so gorgeous
Doppelganger level 😯
I see a combo of Myrna Loy and Louis Brooks.
A “u” shaped haircut makes it a lot easier to do, maybe that’s why it was a little harder for you...
I'm getting Jackie Kennedy vibes! Really beautiful, it suits you
You look so much older with this hairstyle ! Like you always look super cute and young and fresh. And this makes you look more mature glamorous. This is a different look ! You did great I think ! Very very glamorous !
This video was so much fun to watch! Between seeing your facial expression due to being out of your comfort zone, the window cleaner and the editing/music, this was great! I say yes to more of these!

The final hairstyle is nice, but the in between stages can best be described as "Holy 80s hair, Batman!".
I’ve always been so impressed by the amount of effort women used to put into their hair on a daily basis. You’re hair turned out so well!
That’s exactly how I felt when I first tried a 50s hairstyle too 😅
I loved it so much right after you brushed out the curls, I audibly gasped at how STUNNING the hair and makeup combo is
"What am I doing wrong?!"
Me, every time when trying to make a simple braid 🤦♀️
Someone talented like you should feel our clumsy people's hair struggles once in a while, too 😅
But turned out pretty at the end, nonetheless. 🌺
some days after a shower, I have frizz upon frizz. Other days, I look like I could be in a shampoo commercial. Hair is ridiculously unpredictable!

@@jopanik I'll check it out! Thanks for the advice
Love the way you edited this video! The hair looks good imo, givng me late early 60s more than 50s
Yay, thank you!
Love the 80s look in the middle. End result is very "60s long haired Jackie Kennedy"
I'm not sure why, but I am getting a bit of an Elizabeth Taylor-vibe from this hair.
YES! I was trying to work out what it was reminding me of
Oh wow. I love the end result. So beautiful and, well, 'glamorous'.

This was such a fun video! Thank you! You are so cute and your makeup and hair turned out GORGEOUS!
Looks gorgeous!
Wow! You look fantastic with this makeup and the hair!
You could use a bit more of the rollers and roll them a little bit tighter to make the curls smaller. I use the same ones, from Etos 😊 what also might help is brushing the ends over your hands, shaping them.
I think it turned out great! And I was just cracking up when the window cleaner kept coming by!
Beautiful hair and makeup! With this look, you remind me of glamorous and mysterious Joan Bennett-but with even fuller hair than she had! Looks fabulous❣️🎬
And I’m sure the window cleaner learned something about women’s hair he never knew before, lol!
Wow, it looks perfect 😍😍😍
You nailed it! You've inspired me.
I just binged through all your pin-up videos and it looks like you're getting there! I think the key may be to use a wide tooth comb when brushing out the curls. I think the brush is making the ends frizzy. I was also a "no product" kind of girl, but some kind of holding/polishing product (hairspray or oil) and dry shampoo really help in building a look.
im loving the new editing style 💖 you go lucy!! I'm enjoying your content as always 💕
You look gorgeous! I need to try this, I'm a sucker for the old Hollywood look!
This is the look I wish I can achieve...yours looks so beautiful.
I think the trick when working with the ends, is you tease a small 1 inch section, then arrange the surrounding hair around that 1 inch teased section, manually shaping and defining each individual curl. But I think you did great and totally think you found your perfect hair look! Also you remind me a lot of Rachel Weisz here :)
You looked very nice with this style.
As someone who also has baby fine hair, I think your main problem is not too technique-based. You're styling well. But you really do need a vintage cut to support those styles. Horseshoe shape cut with at least one long layer will be enough. You don't really need to go full force with those 40s diagrams that are out there to see good results. Additionally, pin curls will give you more control over the outcome of your style than rollers. Rolling things on or off base and in whichever direction will determine your final result. The 40s waterfall pattern is much easier if you alternate pin curl directions- one row clockwise, one row counter-clockwise, next row clockwise, and so on. Your result still looks really beautiful, though! And your makeup is GORGEOUS!! Good luck!! :)
I think you did a wonderful job! I followed Pinup Palmer's tutorial as well and I find that because she has a thick voluptuous hair, all the techniques do not work exactly the same for fine hair. My hair type is very similar to yours (fine with a tiny bit of wave), I have noticed that if I apply mousse (I have Jane Carter Solutions) to semi-wet hair and then roll, it adds shine when I style it pin-up/vintage. For teasing, I use a texture spray rather than hairspray, I find it makes the backcombing a bit more easier to work with. What I noticed first time I did Pinup Palmer's hair, is that I needed to mould the waves back with my hands (very gently pressing the wave creases and pushing the wave up) after smoothing the backcomb, maybe you did that as well off camera. For smoothing and sculpting, I think a softer brush might work better than tangle teazer, like a backcombing brush or a soft bristle brush. I would check Laci Fay's hair tutorials as well if you already haven't done so, she and Pinup Palmer are my greatest teachers :D For the back, in the beginning after teasing, I usually brush back the back section into one "ponytail" as if I was putting an elastic in it and then brush the hair against my thumb forming a uniform roll and then releasing and spreading it, that helps keep the back neat even when you're styling the front. All in all I think your hair looks really beautiful and it definitely has the pinup feel! I think most of my "tips" are probably impossible to understand without actually showing them, just wanted to join in the conversation :) Love your videos!
Looks gorgeous!!! 💖
My Tip would be mix a little bit of some sort of curlhold gel with a little bit of a light Hair Oil, after you opend up the curlers. That should calm the structure and not loosen up the curl, than comb softly and Hairspray at the end of everything. The more you spray inbetween steps the more stressed and frizzy the hair gets when you rip up the structure again by trying to form them. Anyways I think it looked amazingly good in the end!💕
Aww your hair is beautiful!! I love ur videos ^^" 🧡🧡🧡
Awww, still looks pretty regardless. You ended up looking great! You're doing a great job figuring it all out. I have naturally curly hair that's thick, and sometimes I use my natural curls and sometimes I foam roll my hair for vintage styles. So, my hair is not exactly like yours to begin with. But regardless, I highly recommend several things to help in your journey. A Denman brush! That is what many ladies used back then, and I love my Denman. Also, pomade! Again, what many women used back then. But it gives your hair the ability to mold and sculpt without weighing down (don't use too much on fine hair). Hair spray is good, but I only use it at the very end to "set" the hair. And use the pomade to shape and mold and tame frizz/flyaways. Also, the right haircut is key. I have many, many layers cut into my hair, which does a lot of the work for my vintage styles. Having long, mostly one-length hair will be more of a challenge. You can do it, it's just much harder. For the best, kick-butt vintage and/or pinup hair on RUclips, I recommend: Cherry Dollface, Pinup Doll Ashley Marie, Lisa Freemont Street (her hair is more fine), Vintage Vanity, Fitfully Vintage. They are all amazing at hair, and demonstrate both wet-sets and heat-sets. They all do sculpted more deliberate looks, as well as everyday looks.
The window cleaner probably just mistook you for an adorable (exceptionally wrinkle-free) old lady with the head scarf 😅🥰
Your hair halfway through reminds me of my moms 1980s grad photos
It looks super 60s which is not bad at all 😅💖💖💖💖i agree with other comments, out of all vintage styles, 60s suit u the best❗❗❗🌈🌈🌈😊
I dunno if this helps, but when I'm trying to tame frizz in my fluffy 1940s pinup hair, I use a Tiny bit of 18th century hair pomade. Not a lot, and not a modern hair pomade (too thin/greasy). A stiff lip balm can work in a pinch, but not as well. My hair has more texture than yours though. There is this thing I do when brushing/combing where one hand is moving the comb, and the other is smoothing down immediately behind it (helps ground the static charge that floofs the curls and makes them too frizzy). The following hand is the one with a tiny bit of pomade.
My grandma and my mom used to use lemon juice to get sleek hair, I have tried it and it works super good, maybe if you don want to use hair products you can put lemon when you put on your rollers
Looks great
I discovered that the secret usually is product (using the right curling products, a good quality hairspray and the right pomades make most of the work)
