@@gatordragon8824 that's more of your association. People often used to stick with hair and facial hair fashion that was popular when they were young, but since you only saw them on old people you associate it with old people.
@erinparsonsmakeup use a rattailcomb to help roll it up and tie your headscarft tighter around your head, covering all curlers. This help them stay in place and more comfortable to sleep with.
@@erinparsonsmakeup yes, mist your hair with a little water so that it grips the roller, then start it. This is literally the routine for every "picture day" of my childhood, and yes they r hell to sleep on.
Make sure you are clipping it on the under side of the hair when you roll it to the top and it will still nice and tight without having to do anything else
That color is GORGEOUS. In the early 90's my grandmothers best friend went every week & had her lavender silver hair done & it was FABULOUS. She was known for having that iconic haircolor.
I genuinely liked the look you were trying to recreate, but I ended up loving your final look even more! It made me think of Olivia Newton John's look at the end of Grease. Absolutely beautiful! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰
Love these curlers. In the 80s Those type curlers saved my life. I feel off my brother’s shoulders with them in my hair. I hit my head on a concrete stair. It was lights out for my three yr old butt. Had a concision. Dr said they saved me from having my head cracked open.
Erin, I love watching you experiment. I have an entire lifetime of experience with these foam rollers. If you wear them to bed with the plastic clips, you're not getting ANY real sleep of any kind. Additionally, the plastic clips leave horrible demarcation in the hair - so here's a foam roller hack for you, from myself + my grandmother ❤ 1. Spray or soak the foam rollers with a non-aerosol hairspray... It doesn't have to be expensive it can be a simple $3 brand like Rave. This will help give your rollers longevity + properly allow your hair to adhere to them. 2. Remove all the plastic clips + toss them in the trash... they're uncomfortable, unnecessary, poorly designed + cause a lot of breakage. Replace the plastic clips with Bobby pins. You can slide a bobby pin at the base of the scalp right in through the roller hole. If the roller, has been put in evenly + on-base, it will only require one bobby pin. If not, you may have too much hair + you will want to reroll, or you can try adding a bobby pin to the opposite end as well. When you've finished your foam roller set, wrap a scarf around your head + grab your neck roll pillow... This is the best + most comfortable way to sleep in foam rollers 😘
I loved the way it looked 😊 but I’ll admit I got a bit nervous 😅 still shocked the 2nd size rollers get this tight of a curl, I’d be so curious to see what it does on longer hair too
Adding a drop of hair oil and comb it through with a softish bristle brush really helps. It creates a wave pattern instead of floof. But those sets are made for the old lady "perm" set. My grandmother and older aunt have it. So does 60% of older women with It started in the 80s and hasn't left.
"When you do a wet set like this, it should last you a good week." Me remembering growing up with such stick-straight hair that after a wet set with those exact curlers, I'd wake up looking like Shirley Temple only for *all* the curl to have fallen out by the end of the day! 💀
Honestly even having the skightest natural wave texture helps with keeping curls in your hair, my straight hair friends have this exact probablem and i only, have like 2a to 2b hait and curls really stay in for a week. It's weird how it works
Lol I have the same issue, every time I would get it curled it would just collapse in like an hour or two max. My hair wants to be straight and ain't nothing stopping it.
I use "roller end papers" to keep the ends down while I set. They help to control the hair so I don't panic and wind the hair too tight around the foam.
OMGGGGGGOD. I am SO jealous! The hair color, the curls, those eyes (beautiful green shadow btw) and that FACE! You cannot imagine how much I appreciate (and envy) you and your talents. Your talent is amazingly unmatched, and I would give anything to be done up/styled by you! If only I were a 🎬 🌟! Luv u SO much and thank u for sharing with us. 💜
Yeah. Then we prop our neck with a pillow or towel cause you can't lay on them. They leave grooves in your head. Dont know how I ever slept in the 60's.😅
I don’t remember foam curlers in the 60’s…the curlers I remember were made of coils covered with prickly black stuff and you kept them on your head with these pink plastic stabby things lol
I’ll be honest I’ve washed my hair nearly every day since I dyed it 😅 wondering if it will go white but this little patch of purple in the front is quite cute!
I think the wetting them was what made the curls so tight, I’ve used these before and when you just wear them overnight I think the effect is a little less extreme
Even when it looked like an adorable little Afro that you really didn’t mean it to look like, you killed it! 😍❤️❤️ I loved all the curl sizes on you! I do really love afros and tight curls though ❤
Everything you do is absolute perfection it is unbelievable. What a true artist! I thought the hair ended up looking adorable almost better than the magazine cover. Everything you touch turns to gold❤
Whenever you take out sponge rollers on a wet set, try using a light oil on your fingertips to pull apart the curls to reduce frizz instead of using a comb
So, I'd definitely use Mason Pearson first with a little mousse. Then use a wide tooth comb for 1 to 2 passes to create definition. If you want to prevent the ends from looking frizzy, a looser roll using end papers to secure and make sure your subsections lay flat the whole way to your ends. Could even put a bit of teasing in to help give more structure and direction to the final look with a light once over to smooth with a boar bristle brush to finish the look. Edit: Your end results are amazing, and I wanted to share the way I'd do a similar look. There are tons of ways to go about roller sets, and there is no right or wrong way. What works best for you and gives you your desired results is what you should do.
ERIIIIIN! I get so happy when one of your new vids appear in my feed. Always entertaining

The curly-curl afro is cute!
When I think of all the effort my Nana put into setting her hair every 2-3 days, I truly appreciate how much she taught me about beauty and self care.
I hated it when mom made me sleep in curlers!
That Afro was gorgeous!!!
Looks way better on BW.
@@tatienono ?
@@tatienonobeing a b!tch don't look good on you😩
If you roll tight to the spool, you counter the size of the foam. You basically rolled down to the blue size.
Is there a way to not roll it that tight? Because I find they don’t stay in the hair otherwise 🥲

That first brush out was giving golden girls and I LIVED!
😂😂😂 love you for this comment
@boobiekatt28 yes, it was tight curls like when Sophia got a new perm! 😅
🫠
That's funny, because I about unlived!!! 😂❤
Its giving the 80's where everything's colorful, love it.
Olivia Newton John!

It looks amazing! She’s got the cheekbones for it for sure
Tha a curl fro
ngl because of the color I just kinda saw granny but looking at it that way it doesn't look as bad lol
😭😭
That fro was so cute on you!
Isn’t this different from a fro?
Or I think I’m mixing shit up
Definitely could be considered an afro@@angéliqueeeeeeeeeeee
@@amandafranklin2901 No, an afro is when your hair is natrually like that.
@Ishowripoff No, afros in the 70s were a picked out roller set. She had an afro, and it looked cute
TBH your style came out so much better than the editorial one. Gorgeous as always.
Girl that fro action is everything!!! So glammy 70s!!! GO FOR IT!!!
I actually love the final look with the barrettes 🙌🏾
I think it's cute and way more fun that what's been going on with hair fashions lately.
Reminds me of Lucille Ball!
I actually love it after the first comb or two. Goes beautifully with your face.

"How did you not Crack your skull op-"
"Rollers"
"Wh-"
"Rollers"
My grandma used to put those rollers in my hair, oh boy, not a look a pre-teen was going for. It was the 80s, everyone had perms. My hair was huge😂
Ok but that hair is so cute, with that color too?! Sensational.
End result is devine! You are stunning Erin❤

NGL you looked fabulous in both versions.
I just love how the rollers and scarf look. You should wear that. It does look really cute at the end, though.

Full Soul Train, love!
I dont think you know how well the look came out! 100% ❤❤❤
not you lowkey rocking a fro! from one fro girl to another this was amazing ❤
But SLAAAY you look gorgeous either way💚
I absolutely love this! The accidental lavender is perfect and your face when you brushed out that first curl is priceless.
That eye look is PERFECT on you!!!
Girl the way you paused after taking out the first roller had me dying😂
That curl pattern looks good on you.
You would look beautiful no matter what color you use!
The silence when she brushed the curl GOT ME ROLLING 😂😂
You can pull absolutely any look off! Stunning! 🥰😊
The affect was STUNNING!
You literally look like my great grandma😂 it’s so cute it wasn’t meant to be rude. I swear to God it’s just it made me feel really happy honestly
You achieved a beautiful curly Afro!
That is not an afro lol
It was totally an afro before the brush down😂
@@xotiod…what would you call that, then? Just curious.
@@Long_May_They_Raine I already said what I called it 💀 it’s been months leave me alone

@@Perceptionreflection Curl cream is awesome, but this was in Idaho back in the 80's, so my choices for hair product were severely limited! 😂
As a black woman, I like your curly fro!
Right! She gave herself a whole mini fro 😅
Eyeshadow is so pretty
Old school rollers are awesome! There is a reason our grandmothers and great grandmothers had them.
I use "roller end papers" to keep the ends down while I set. They help to control the hair so I don't panic and wind the hair too tight around the foam.
I was just about to add this to one of the comments.
PLEASE try the smallest rollers, it’d be so much fun
So pretty. Giving the flapper vibes and silent film movies. Love that era.

That seriously looked so good on you!!! I loved it. You’re a beauty Queen!
omg you with the little afro was actually a vibe
Ah, such memories of using the pink ones when I was 11 to 12, in 1962 - 1963. Rolled my wet hair sitting on my bed before laying down for the night.
I’m 44 & my mom rolled mine all the time growing up. Especially for picture day! 😂
Yeah. Then we prop our neck with a pillow or towel cause you can't lay on them. They leave grooves in your head. Dont know how I ever slept in the 60's.😅

@HeidiSue60 Yes, my mom used them herself but they hurt too much for me.
I love the lavender on you! And you tamed those curls amazingly well, the final product was so cute!
I’ll be honest I’ve washed my hair nearly every day since I dyed it 😅 wondering if it will go white but this little patch of purple in the front is quite cute!
You still look gorgeous.
Okay but vintage afro erin is THE VIIBBEEE I never knew i needed 😍
You are always adorable. The accidental lavender, the tiny curls and how it turned out at the end. I love everything! 💜

Aww brings back fond memories of watching my mema set her hair. She used the comb-like plastic curlers.
Can't wait to see what the smaller rollers do!

😂I might get in trouble but I’ll admit I’m curious
@@erinparsonsmakeup just remember, some 50's/60's fashionable girl would love so see you rocking those tight curls
Kinda gives me a pseudo Lucille Ball but with more curl
Whenever you take out sponge rollers on a wet set, try using a light oil on your fingertips to pull apart the curls to reduce frizz instead of using a comb
I would wash and set my mom's hair on Saturday mornings while the weeks bread was baking .
Such a cute look with the barrettes in!
A combo of the two would be kinda cool

really giving off stylish kath and kim
Yay, I am so elated you are back. Your hair looks great.
That fro was everything ❤
I really like how your style was after you got finished with it, But the first comb out you did made me think straight up of Sophia Petrillo!
That look is super adorable
It came out way better than expected! ❤
You can mist it after or use a hair oil when you're putting it up to make it more manageable. The 2nd day is usually perfect.
At the end your hair looks beautiful.
