I’m a hairdresser and an educator and this is the best, and most accurate demo I’ve seen on here. People claim to know how to do the old school styles but they wind up doing a half baked version. They’re not accurate. We used to back comb those styles and spray them until they lasted a full week. Sometimes two weeks. (With a little touch up halfway through though.)
Thank you for your nice comment. You probably trained in the same era as me if you remember doing the 2week put up 😉. And getting the lacquer out at their next shampoo 😬
i seem to recall way older women getting beehives that they seemed to live in for forever. and dont think any of them went to a beautician weekly bi weekly?
Thank you. I did it as part of a “ vintage/ retro “ set of training videos I was asked to do. I never actually wore it myself but when I started hairdressing it was surprising the number of clients that asked for it. 🫣😂
That is perfection, beautifully executed! I wish I'd seen this 30 years ago when I first started doing mannequins. Your technique was so smooth, I was marveling at it lol!
What a great job! Never seen a more simple demonstration of the beehive that looked this good. Thank you! I honestly would love if you could do the messy/wild/loose version of the beehive. Like Anna Nicole Smith ❤❤❤ Awesome job!
Thank you for the great comments.😊 If you go back into my channel and click onto the playlist for 1960s roller set, you’ll be able to see vids of messy “Bardot type” hair dressed down and up styles. Not quite Anna Nicole Smith but very similar and could be adapted. I hope this helps 🤗
Thank you so much for your kind comments. There are about 45 “how to” videos on my channel, from vintage & bridal to a few razor cutting ones. I hope you find them useful & enjoy them 🤗
Love love love the look, you worked that hair so effortlessly and it looked amazing. My bestie wore this style last night for new years eve, you have me pumped to attempt to do this. Almost 30 years as a stylist and I avoid updos like the plague, watching you do this makes my wanna try although will never look that on point. Great job.
@@bellalegosi7850 Thank you for your lovely comment. 😊 I used extension/ faux hair which I backcombed and wrapped / rolled in fine hairnets to create a pad. I find using these instead of the nylon bun rings more versatile as you can twist them to any shape you need. I hope this helps.
Hi, I make my own by back brushing & wrapping false/ extension hair in fine hair nets. The style is definitely achievable with out the bumps if you have longish thick hair . Hope this helps 😊
That's cool and sad. Cool in that it's such an intricate skillful style that woman these days and in future I don't think would have the time or skill (or inclination) to regularly do anymore.
Thank you for thinking it’s cool. 😊 I agree that that it’s not a relevant hairstyle for these days. The videos are a teaching aid series that I did on retro/vintage hair skills for a group of students, here in the UK.
Those mannequins have the easiest, most cooperative hair of anyone I know. Practicing on one always goes my way, but as soon as I try to apply these same skills to my own head, things go South. My hair refuses to work with me, has attitude and constantly spits out bobbie pins, or goes lopsided on purpose just to piss me off, or I'll get a curling wand tangled in it and have to practically cut it out. I have extra, extra thick, bra strap length hair that is tangled every, single day upon waking and after the world's worst haircut I received in the summer, has been a complete dry, grocery-sack-shaped mess! Now that I'm close to 50, my hair is dry, has a weird, wiry texture and is dull. Also, the closer I get to the mirror, the more I'm seeing all those hag-grey hairs mixed in with my fading balayage! What happened? I used to be a fox and now....I'm a middle-aged frump!
The mannequin heads are great to work on and really, I’m just aiming to show technique. It must be frustrating when your own hair won’t do what you want it to. I hope you’re having a better day 🙂
Hi, they are called bungee bands. They’re basically an elastic with hooks either end but you could use normal hair elastics with a hair grip/ bobby pin threaded through each end in the same way. Hope this helps 😊
In a way you’re right!! . This was part of a “ retro hair” series of training videos I was asked to do. When people wore their hair like this in the 1950/60s they would have left it in place for days, possibly even a week🤭. As with any style that requires backcombing they would have brushed the hair in the opposite direction to the way it was first done to remove and it would have come out quite easily. So very different from any hairstyle today 😉.
The sponge things are actually hair pads, you can buy them ready made or they’re quite easy to make yourself with some extension hair, teased and rolled in some fine hairnets. The pins are heavy hairpins available from wholesalers or a Superdrug store. Hope this helps 🤗
It’s hair padding. I backcomb some false hair and wrap it in fine hairnets to create the different shaped that I need. You can also get/ buy nylon bun pads and pull them apart to create the shapes. Hope this helps 😊
The pads are just made up by back combing/brushing some synthetic hair and wrapping it in a couple of hairnets to create whatever shape you need. Hope this helps 🙂

Is this wig synthetic or real the back combing is amazing
I’m all about accuracy and I’ve been trying to find a real 60s beehive and this is the best one I’ve found
How did the hair stay up for so long? Just hairspray and teasing?
This is the best, true to 1960's beehive tutorial I've seen on RUclips. Fantastic job! I wondered how people got the massive bump, and now I know.
Thanks Amie ❤️
I always thought this was kind of a ridiculous looking hairdo, but I appreciate watching you do it! You are an EXCELLENT hair artist!
Thank you. I did it as part of a “ vintage/ retro “ set of training videos I was asked to do. I never actually wore it myself but when I started hairdressing it was surprising the number of clients that asked for it. 🫣😂
Fabulous! I use to watch my late beautiful Mother do this and she stuffed pantyhose for the height!!
That is perfection, beautifully executed! I wish I'd seen this 30 years ago when I first started doing mannequins. Your technique was so smooth, I was marveling at it lol!
Wow, thank you!
Omg this is what I've been looking, i saw mybgrandmas hair done like this i didn't know how thanks for your video, so beautifully done Thank you❤️

That’s so nice of you to say those comments. Good luck with the hair ups and HappyNew Year 🥂😊
@@lizshiptonhair bravo! Can I ask what you used for the filler??😊
@@bellalegosi7850 Thank you for your lovely comment. 😊

@@lizshiptonhair Brilliant! Thank you so much! I'll give it a shot

Thank you so much 😀
You made this look so easy 😳💗💗💗
Extraordinary work!! Could you tell us what you used to keep the hair pieces in place, thank you so much for sharing your expertise!
I used bungee bands , elastic with a hook on either end but an elastic with two grips on would do the same thing 😀
@@lizshiptonhair I really appreciate your prompt answer, you are so smart and resourceful, you're the best!!
Beautiful
Spectacular
Beautiful ! Thank you for your vidéo
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful!!😍❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Wowzers! 😍
What is the best hair bumps to buy (and do you think this style can be accomplished without using hair bumps)?
Hi, I make my own by back brushing & wrapping false/ extension hair in fine hair nets. The style is definitely achievable with out the bumps if you have longish thick hair . Hope this helps 😊
I going to try this in class can I do this for skills USA you make it look so easy I like your hair styles so much
Thank you. Good luck with skills USA too 😊
I love your videos

I can’t wait to try this one out! Looks so stunning! I bought a large donut hair bun. Could this work?
Yes it does!

It is p e r f e c t ✨🐝💜💖💜🐝
What are the pins/clips used to secure the bumps to the top of her head? Thank you!
Hi, they are called bungee bands. They’re basically an elastic with hooks either end but you could use normal hair elastics with a hair grip/ bobby pin threaded through each end in the same way.
Hope this helps 😊
that must be tough to get undone at the end of the day.

Liz, do you give lessons one to one? I am in the south
Hi Lou Bou, So sorry but I don’t. I live in Wales, Uk where I run small group face to face training days.
What are the 2 sponge looking things that you put in the hair for the height and what are those pins called
The sponge things are actually hair pads, you can buy them ready made or they’re quite easy to make yourself with some extension hair, teased and rolled in some fine hairnets.
The pins are heavy hairpins available from wholesalers or a Superdrug store. Hope this helps 🤗
💜😍💜
Thank you 🤗
What’s the stuffing?
It’s hair padding. I backcomb some false hair and wrap it in fine hairnets to create the different shaped that I need. You can also get/ buy nylon bun pads and pull them apart to create the shapes. Hope this helps 😊
what are those pads called that you use ?
The pads are just made up by back combing/brushing some synthetic hair and wrapping it in a couple of hairnets to create whatever shape you need. Hope this helps 🙂
The new one us better
Then before you go to bed, be sure to wrap your hair and toilet paper😅
