My grandfather was a hairdresser & had his own salon in Oaklyn, NJ. He taught me how to add volume & lift to my hair. He would set my hair in curlers & use the long metal clips then put me under these huge dryers. After he’d brush my hair put. It’s worked better than any technique I’ve used since. Oldies are goodies ❤
@@SMKNGRL420 And it lasted all day! Sometimes multiple days! I wish some things went back to the old ways. Things were just done better and made to last! 💯❤️
@@dizzy_dino9052 I agree! Add to that list: cars, appliances, buildings.... Now so much that the average person can afford is not built to last. We live in a throw-away society, unfortunately.
Some just have thick, voluminous Hair from their healthy diet & lifestyle and NO-HEAT or Harsh Chemical hair regime. The new Generation need to ditch the Flat Irons and other Heat Tools Or use them once in a while only.
@@naturalkinkycurlymarie7496Some just have naturally thick hair regardless of whether they use heat on it. My mam is in her 60s and still has super thick, long, blonde hair. She blow dries and straightens hers. It's just genetics. Both my parents have thick hair so me and my brother do too. Using heat can damage the hair you have but it's not gonna affect the hair that's not grown in yet. Your hair will either thin with age or it won't. Obviously if you live to be 90 odd then it's probably gonna start thinning at some point.
Depends on the person. My nonna is nearly 90 and has a full head of thick and healthy hair with voluminous curls. She has more hair than many 20 yos. The only hair care products she uses are shampoo, olive oil and a comb btw.
@@naturalkinkycurlymarie7496 how are you going to tell people what they need to do with THEIR HAIR!! The natural hair community wants to rock their kinks and naps and expects everyone else to abide!! Yes I’m black but I prefer straight hair!!
At 61, my hair has gone from luscious to brittle and frizzy. I decided to stop using heat to smooth it and started using rollers and my hair looks like it did when I was 20.
Setting the hair in rollers will give the hair the most amount of body then what blow drying can do. The smaller the roller size, the more body and curl you’re going to create
I should try this for my mom. She has a lot of health issues and she went from literally having an Afro to now having thin, frail very sparse hair. She is so discouraged by her hair.
When I was a little girl in the '70's my Mom would set my hair into those rollers the night before holidays or special occasions. I HATED those prickly things. But at least I got to stay up past my bedtime while she was setting it.
@@erinparsonsmakeup hey I just want to say I don’t even use makeup and I find your videos amazing! The ancient makeups so far are my fav ones, especially the Egyptians makeup. It now makes me wonder if Africans were depicted right with their photos. It always looks like women were never wearing makeup
My grandma was my first client as I was learning to do hair in highschool and was my model at stateboard to get my cosmetology license. I rolled her hair every week in these rollers until she died. She had many grandkids and when they asked me what I would like of hers I asked for her brush rollers😊

Great Results. Love the Makeup.♥ The OLD SCHOOL *volumizing hair Method Black Women* who wear their Hair in Rollersets *_have been using for many Decades._* Also brings back Childhood memories. That 'LottaBody' has always been a Go-To in Black Haircare for those who wear their Natural Hair out whether Curly, Kinky or Straight. *Just wanted to put that out there in case people were thinking this is only for Caucasian or non-ethnic Hair.* This Method has Been working on all Ethnic & Non-Ethnic Hair types for many many years. The past Decade there have been many RUclips Videos uploaded with the Sisters using Lattobody and this method with different rollers including the Foam. *_Thanks for adding your Wigs in the Video. MOST people hide the Fact that they wear Wig & Fake Hair Extensions._*
black women might use this method, but this has been done this way by White women for centuries. Setting lotion was first popularised in the 1800’s, people would buy the ingredients and make their own and then eventually it became something you could buy. The shampoo and set fell out of fashion a long time ago (at least here in Ireland) but it’s still popular with the old ladies. Also I’ve never heard of or met anyone scared of admitting they wear hair extensions and the only person I’ve known to wear a wig was a person I know that had went through chemo. Wigs and hair extensions just aren’t as popular in the White community as they are in your community and even if they were, I can guarantee you that nobody would be scared to admit it 😂
@@Natasha___. Yep, just google tete à mouton. Extremely popular in the 18th century. Just look at the portraiture. It's amazing how Americans think history started after WWII, and everything before was primitive plague days where nobody bathed or groomed.
My adoptive mom was a boomer who woke early every day to wash and blow dry her fine hair bigger into a nice bob…I definitely miss those simple days smelling her powdery makeup and listening to the blow dryer whirr too loud to talk over ❤
That’s so cute. Now if you even mention using a blow dryer today, you’ll have a whole mob of Karen juniors online telling you you’re not suppose to blow dry your hair. 😂
My mom used setting lotion and the hard plastic rollers. She also put papers on the ends like a perm, but it wasn’t a perm because she bleached it platinum blonde and used Born Blonde toner. Then she’d sit under the portable dryer and smoke her cigs. She did her own hair and even in the 80’s she wore a 60s style. People would look at her weird and I wish looking vintage was cool back then.
I have those papers for the foam rollers. Takes a lot more time but they really help to avoid the crimp at the end. Lovvve that she kept that 60’s style! I’ll def give the hard rollers a try too ❤
Stylin and profilin ' 😉 Your momma always looked great as well as I bet the only reason others looked at her weird for her unique style is because they were basic lol ❤
My mother used the brush rollers in her hair almost all of her life. As a child strips of sheets rolled and finger waves. She ALWAYS used the sponge fir me. I'm over 60 - I use the sheet scraps or sponge rollers. Good for you. Your hair styles are beautiful 😍
I hate my same hair! 😢 THANK YOU for sharing this technique! Old school is definitely the best way for ultimate glamour styles … and you are a gorgeous “old” soul 💜
My mother was born in 1935. She did this style with those rollers, as did every one of my aunts and grandmother. It never changed. Her weekly hair dresser appointment was set in stone!
Same! My mother was born in 1937 and she put these exact rollers in her hair throughout the 60's, 70's, 80's, maybe even the 90's. She now complains that her blow-dried style is too flat. Maybe I should remind her about those rollers she used to use!
My mom was born in 1932, she had her hair set at the beauty shop every week in those rollers and sat under a big hair dryer, it was then back combed into her fixed hair style…..this video brought tears to my eyes ! I miss my mom 😢
I rolled my Mom's hair with those with dippidy-do, and I swear, her hair style, using a sleeping bonnet, would last a week. She also collected rainwater that she boiled then cooled to wash her hair in. She made mayonnaise to condition her hair. She was Country! A real Appalachian Woman in WVa. She knew stuff!
My grandmother was a Northumbrian hill farmer (sheep). She would dip her comb in the rainwater barrel before combing through her hair, she had beautiful lustrous waves well into her 60’s. They certainly did know a whole lot of stuff.
My grandmother is 94 years old. I remember helping her roll her hair on these brush rollers as I grew up. She goes to the beauty shop now. Thank you for sharing this. Sweet memories. ❤
My mother was a hairdresser and had her own shop. She had those rollers in different colors and sizes for different types of curl. She would roll the hair and put the ladies under a hairdryer for what seemed like forever. Then when she was done the style would last the ladies until their next appointment a week later.
I so regret giving my mom’s rollers away. Those t-shaped pins held the rollers so well. Maybe I will run across so other mom’s set at a yard sale one day. Your tutorials always knock me out. They are so helpful and informative. ❤
Ah my childhood! We used these constantly when I was a girl. Foam rollers were the rule for me. I am black so I used them to give me a curly afro in middle school
Brings back some good memories from my childhood. As a child of the 70's my mom use to set her hair with those type curlers. I have often thought about ditching the heat and use this old style for my fine hair.
I slept in those prickly rollers many times as a straight haired girl in the 70’s. However my older cousin rolled her hair in those giant hard plastic rollers, the ones that were pastel colors and holes in them. They were as big as Coca-Cola cans. How she did it I will never know. I bet she has neck pain from all that. She has very curly hair and those big rollers smoothed it out. She looked 70’s chic and beautiful!
My Gramma still uses those but I dont think she slept in them. I remember her sitting in front of the tv with the hair dryer on so the curls would set/harden and then she'd take them out and just pin them I think...
OMG we used to sleep with our hair rolled in oj cans or whatever we could find that was bigger cause we wanted hair like 1960's Cher. So painful and I look back at why we tried so hard to get our hair to look limp.
My mother was born in 1930 and died in 93. I remember her doing her hair with these curlers and wrapping it in a pink cotton wrap every night until she couldn't anymore. Thanks for the memories! I really need to buy some and follow suit now that I'm in my 60s.
When I travel, I do “pin curls”. Just wrap slightly damp hair in a circle, use bobby pins to secure the curl, and in the morning, I have long waves that last well into the evening. I learned the technique from a great aunt.
@@vegetablea9611 When you take out the pins, bend at the waist and use your fingers to tussle the hair. A few spritz of volumizing spray and toss the hair back. A little backcombing will add even more volume.
I think, girls who want volume without such stylized vintage curls, could just use huge rollers and then run a brush through it. This also works on kinky hair that’s been stretched or blown out. My mom taught me as a kid!
Definitely. I used to get my hair straightened in high school and would lose so much volume. So I'd put on my grandma's rollers overnight which made my hair look like a 70s blowout.
Finally someone, who just let's their hair stay curly after removing the curlers, rather then doing a brush out 😅 I thought, I was the only one, who just adores the pronounced curls they leave you with, when mostly left alone after setting! I do use a blow dry hood (or whatever they are called) though, because my thick, dense hair would take forever to dry, otherwise. Those are well worth their money, imo, if one doesn't want to leave the curlers in, overnight.
Lotta body changed everything for me! I had completely given up on heat styling, and leaned into wigs if I wanted curls. Now I can get my hair to do most things, and I'm even playing with vintage marcel irons! Thanks Erin.
I am OBSESSED. You're naturally talented. My hair is naturally curly, but it's getting thinner as I age. This month, I'll turn 48. I haven't changed my profile since my mid-30's so I'm not trying to catfish anyone. Just wanted to throw that out there. I'm epileptic and my medication has left my once thick hair limp and thin. I have recently gotten a layered haircut with bangs. It's cute, but nothing like this. I'm a writer and I WILL MAKE IT BIG. When I do, I'd be honored for you to style my hair. Heck, even do my makeup. You're gorgeous! YOU ARE GOING TO GO VERY FAR AND HAVE MUCH SUCCESS YOUNG LADY.
My momma used these for years and slept with them in! Ouch! I can still see her rolling her hair with these. Thanks for bringing back a fond childhood memory!
My grammy would get her hair “set” like this once a week at the beauty salon. She always looked beautiful with hair styled up and away from her face. It really brings out your eyes and facial structure. 😊
Beautiful! My mom used to do her hair every Sat. She had a whole process 😊 I remember her using those wire rollers. That just brought back a flood of good memories.
I went to cosmetology school in the early eighties and I used to set my mom's hair with these and she had the most volume! Oh she felt so beautiful. She had very fine thin blonde hair. Oh the days of backcombing...
Lotta Body has been staple in the melanated community and very old school(thank you for mentioning about diluting it).. nothing like a good roller set and never seen someone air dry though the same effect as if you were under the dryer. You can let the curls fall naturally, in the interim pin curl them before bed and don’t forget your satin or silk bonnet!
Wow, what a difference curls make to you! You absolutely NEED a perm!!! It makes a perfect style base for tons of vintage styles, and on days when you just want to wash and wear, it will give you a gorgeous rock chick vibe that you would totally suit!
Yesss!! I just stumbled on her & those were my thoughts exactly! STUNNING! Kinda makes me feel like I’m missing opportunities with my “boring” style!!😂
Yeah I think it can work for some people but it would just look silly on me to have big, poofy, fancy hair. Especially since I'm a Tshirt and Flip Flops kind of girl.
I wish I'd known this when I still had hair to curl. I always struggled with keeping the curl in. Now my hair is far too short to wrap a roller around!
Absolutely Beautiful. My moms always used dippity doo on the hair of my sister and I. We had to try and sleep with the center of these roles poking our heads all night. But we had beautiful curls all day then next day and both of us had straight, fine hair. Every Christmas, I decorated a small pink trees with black and pink roles, perm rods, bobby pins...and pictures of my sister and I and your daughter in ours curlers and curls. So fun. Great present for your favorite hairdresser.
I hope curled hair makes a comeback. It’s so much healthier for the hair too. I rag curl my naturally curly hair to have a more uniform and elongated curl.
I have naturally curly hair. I've always wondered about using rollers but didn't know if it would destroy my natural curls over time. How long have you been using rollers for?
We did not! I missed out.. What is this magical lotion?? The lotion we used for roller sets were for mannequins heads and not for human/people hair and it was a gel. Kinda weird pink gel, it would get hard and then it would stay and go white and flakey.
You’re one of the few beauty creators that I follow whose hair is as fine as mine. Would love to see more hair tutorials! Your hair always looks amazing. I’m obsessed with vintage styles.
Yup. That’s how I do my hair. Lottabody’s no joke! Wet-setting is also so gentle, and with my fine, fragile hair, using this technique for years has helped me grow my hair to my waist.
I love it!! We've always used foam rollers. My mom would go to the store and everywhere with rollers and a scarf tied around her head, to get set for church on Sundays. Memories...🥰
Thank you. I forgot about that after being away from hairstyling for so many years. I went to be a boilermaker welder and didn’t do it again for decades and a full head of red curly hair and never had to concern myself with volume. It was the opposite actually until I lost much of my hair to chemo. I have been so sad and felt there was nothing I could do to look and feel good again. Watching you I think I will pull out my old bag of assorted rollers and try to make myself feel wonderful again. Thank you.
This reminds me of my mom and being a little girl in the 70’s getting my hair set in rollers. We had a salon-style hair dryer to sit under. Thank you for bringing back cherished memories.❤
My gramma had the "helmet" hairdo. She went on Wednesdays to have a roller set and style at the beauty parlor. Then she kept it stiff with hairspray. She used SO MUCH hairspray!! Lmao She smelled like hairspray and Lair de Temps. Such fun memories with her 💖💖
So did my grandma ! She raised me because my mom passed when I was 2 weeks old.She would always go to get hair hair done at the beauty shop every Saturday morning. She would always have her hair bonnet with her in her purse in case it rained! Lol
The school that I chose to go to for my cosmetology education. Taught all of the old techniques and I am grateful that I chose them because they did teach all of the older techniques....so worth it.
Takes you right back to mid century! I love a good roller set as it looks like an actual style...not lank, wavy beach hair...I really feel that more structured, "styled" styles like in the 40's and 50's will come back and you will be at the forefront of this trend! So pretty!
Roller sets are LIFE! I remember using Lottabody with my roller sets back in the day. Used to wet-set my hair on magnetic rollers (pink and green ones with the caps) every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday! What a memory. Your curls were lush AF! Great job.
Your vintage technigues use products that I remember being used in black hair salons when I was a kid in the 80s. Lottabody and the rollers are a real blast from the past.
I am cutting 18” off my hair and this is the direction I am going. People keep telling me how rollers are such a pain, but they don’t understand it is far worse to have long, fine hair.
@@starlinguk this. I have actual thin fine limp hair. If my hair is very short like hers and curled I look like an old lady trying to hide her balding! What she has is fine hair but dense
My grandmother used to get a body wave perm and would roll her hair every single night with these same rollers, in this same pattern, cover it with a silk scarf then sleep in those things! 😮 She would occasionally roll my hair after my bath, and use Dippity-Do as the setting gel and I would sleep in those things too and had no clue how she was able to even sleep because I couldn’t. 😂 Those plastic stays dug into my head and the bristles inside those rollers poked my scalp severely. When she rolled my hair it was to give me those Shirley Temple curls. And then she would put a big bow on top of my head on the side and then she would squirt Clairol Final Mist over it all to hold it in place. This was in the 70’s for church. 😅 Everybody thought it was cute, but none of the little girls were wearing their hair in that style so I was embarrassed. When I got home, I would brush it and give myself a Farrah Fawcet hairdo. 😂

She also collected rainwater that she boiled then cooled to wash her hair in. She made mayonnaise to condition her hair. She was Country! A real Appalachian Woman in WVa. She knew stuff!
Oh YEAH! Dippity Doo. Ha!
Mayo is surprisingly not a bad idea: it contains both oil, and proteins from eggs...
My grandmother was a Northumbrian hill farmer (sheep). She would dip her comb in the rainwater barrel before combing through her hair, she had beautiful lustrous waves well into her 60’s. They certainly did know a whole lot of stuff.
❤❤❤
I've never heard of the rainwater trick before. Does anyone know why it's different/better than regular tap water?
My grandmother is 94 years old. I remember helping her roll her hair on these brush rollers as I grew up. She goes to the beauty shop now. Thank you for sharing this. Sweet memories. ❤
My mother was a hairdresser and had her own shop. She had those rollers in different colors and sizes for different types of curl. She would roll the hair and put the ladies under a hairdryer for what seemed like forever. Then when she was done the style would last the ladies until their next appointment a week later.
with assistance from an industrial can of Elnette! lol

Remember Aqua Net? I remember it from the 60’s. Do they still make it? That stuff would hold your curls all week.
@@thatgirlthatsme I do remembering Aqua Net, what color can did you use? I do believe they still make it.
@@loriannmua What color? I don’t understand.
I was referring to aqua net hair spray.
How lol. Like I toss and turn. No way a hairstyle lasting a week. Plus the oily scalp I have. No way 😂
I GASPED at the results, you are saving fine hair girlies lives
Girl, you still have much thicker hair than I do. Thanks for the tips. I absolutely adore you.
That setting lotion is bomb, so true!
This is why our grandmothers looked amazing back in the day😂 Especially on Sunday lol
My mother used to roll my long hair on rags when I was a little girl. She was raised in the country and her granny did the same thing for her.
I so regret giving my mom’s rollers away. Those t-shaped pins held the rollers so well. Maybe I will run across so other mom’s set at a yard sale one day. Your tutorials always knock me out. They are so helpful and informative. ❤
I’ve only watched about 4 short videos from you soo far and I’ve learned so many new techniques from you already! ❤
Ah my childhood! We used these constantly when I was a girl. Foam rollers were the rule for me. I am black so I used them to give me a curly afro in middle school
I kept telling everyone this is the best. Hairdresser for over 20yrs. And the setting lotion is absolutely the key!!!!
Brings back some good memories from my childhood. As a child of the 70's my mom use to set her hair with those type curlers. I have often thought about ditching the heat and use this old style for my fine hair.
Same!
Girrrrl, your "thin" hair is SO PRETTY ❤
My grandma did that. It wasn't until she got dementia and her hair went natural that I realized she had thin limp hair like mine ! ❤
My mama was particularly picky how she looked. Rollers every night. Dementia ruined that for her. She had curly hair never knew
I slept in those prickly rollers many times as a straight haired girl in the 70’s. However my older cousin rolled her hair in those giant hard plastic rollers, the ones that were pastel colors and holes in them. They were as big as Coca-Cola cans. How she did it I will never know. I bet she has neck pain from all that. She has very curly hair and those big rollers smoothed it out. She looked 70’s chic and beautiful!
My Gramma still uses those but I dont think she slept in them. I remember her sitting in front of the tv with the hair dryer on so the curls would set/harden and then she'd take them out and just pin them I think...
OMG we used to sleep with our hair rolled in oj cans or whatever we could find that was bigger cause we wanted hair like 1960's Cher. So painful and I look back at why we tried so hard to get our hair to look limp.
My mother was born in 1930 and died in 93. I remember her doing her hair with these curlers and wrapping it in a pink cotton wrap every night until she couldn't anymore.
Thanks for the memories! I really need to buy some and follow suit now that I'm in my 60s.
This woman is absolutely beautiful with or without makeup.
When I travel, I do “pin curls”. Just wrap slightly damp hair in a circle, use bobby pins to secure the curl, and in the morning, I have long waves that last well into the evening. I learned the technique from a great aunt.
that is good for waves, but not for volume, though. you need to lift the roots up, and the curlers help do that.
@@vegetablea9611 When you take out the pins, bend at the waist and use your fingers to tussle the hair. A few spritz of volumizing spray and toss the hair back. A little backcombing will add even more volume.
My grandmother used to fix her hair like this all the time. 💜💜
I'd love to see some more styles if possible. I hate my thin fine hair.
Your hair looks lovely actually!
You look so beautiful and innocent and young without makeup.😊 considering you're the makeup Queen.
I just LOVE your obsession with blush, like me you seem to think there's no such thing as too much
I think, girls who want volume without such stylized vintage curls, could just use huge rollers and then run a brush through it. This also works on kinky hair that’s been stretched or blown out. My mom taught me as a kid!
My mom taught me rhe same thing because both of us have fine hair. But we used the middle size roller and our her look fuller
Definitely. I used to get my hair straightened in high school and would lose so much volume. So I'd put on my grandma's rollers overnight which made my hair look like a 70s blowout.
reading other people's cherished memories truly makes my day so much better!✨ Lovely people all around!!
I love this look, it's so glamorous ❤
Back in the 60's you would see women and girls with scarves over their curlers grocery shopping etc. You knew if was a big night out! ❤️
As a former stylist, rollers are still an amazing styling tool that should still be utilized frequently for fine, thin hair! 👍🏼
Finally someone, who just let's their hair stay curly after removing the curlers, rather then doing a brush out 😅
I thought, I was the only one, who just adores the pronounced curls they leave you with, when mostly left alone after setting!
I do use a blow dry hood (or whatever they are called) though, because my thick, dense hair would take forever to dry, otherwise.
Those are well worth their money, imo, if one doesn't want to leave the curlers in, overnight.
Lotta body changed everything for me! I had completely given up on heat styling, and leaned into wigs if I wanted curls. Now I can get my hair to do most things, and I'm even playing with vintage marcel irons! Thanks Erin.
I am OBSESSED. You're naturally talented. My hair is naturally curly, but it's getting thinner as I age. This month, I'll turn 48. I haven't changed my profile since my mid-30's so I'm not trying to catfish anyone. Just wanted to throw that out there. I'm epileptic and my medication has left my once thick hair limp and thin. I have recently gotten a layered haircut with bangs. It's cute, but nothing like this. I'm a writer and I WILL MAKE IT BIG. When I do, I'd be honored for you to style my hair. Heck, even do my makeup. You're gorgeous! YOU ARE GOING TO GO VERY FAR AND HAVE MUCH SUCCESS YOUNG LADY.
I would have never guessed that your hair was on the thinner side, it’s always styled beautifully
My momma used these for years and slept with them in! Ouch! I can still see her rolling her hair with these. Thanks for bringing back a fond childhood memory!
These are the exact rollers my mother used every single day of her life to get ready. She was a gorgeous glamorous queen like you. ❤
I love how this evokes so many memories for people ❤
I am 62 and my mother was a cosmetologist while I was a kid. She set my hair many times over the years and the curls lasted soooo long!
My grammy would get her hair “set” like this once a week at the beauty salon. She always looked beautiful with hair styled up and away from her face. It really brings out your eyes and facial structure. 😊
Beautiful! My mom used to do her hair every Sat. She had a whole process 😊 I remember her using those wire rollers. That just brought back a flood of good memories.
I worked in a salon and this guy Charles was hell bent on roller setting my hair and holy crap! My hair looked AMAZING!
YOU LOOK STUNNING!!❤
Crazy how some volume in your hair and makeup makes you look like 2 different people! Equally beautiful both ways, just different ☺️
I went to cosmetology school in the early eighties and I used to set my mom's hair with these and she had the most volume! Oh she felt so beautiful. She had very fine thin blonde hair.
Oh the days of backcombing...
I love when people have their own unique style and are not just following trends, sounds cheesy but I think it's inspiring ❤
Finally I see you without makeup! You are beautiful with and without!
Lotta Body has been staple in the melanated community and very old school(thank you for mentioning about diluting it).. nothing like a good roller set and never seen someone air dry though the same effect as if you were under the dryer. You can let the curls fall naturally, in the interim pin curl them before bed and don’t forget your satin or silk bonnet!
Vintage hair styles give such a unique and beautiful look to any style. Need to try out those rollers!
Wow, what a difference curls make to you! You absolutely NEED a perm!!! It makes a perfect style base for tons of vintage styles, and on days when you just want to wash and wear, it will give you a gorgeous rock chick vibe that you would totally suit!
Note from a licensed cosmetologist: Dilute Lotta Body with water! It’s very concentrated.
@Tempeststyle hi, do you know how long should I leave the rollers on?
You are FABULOUS. My personal style couldn’t be further from yours but I still think you are the most gorgeous thing I’ve seen in YEARS!!
Yesss!! I just stumbled on her & those were my thoughts exactly! STUNNING! Kinda makes me feel like I’m missing opportunities with my “boring” style!!😂
Yeah I think it can work for some people but it would just look silly on me to have big, poofy, fancy hair.
Especially since I'm a Tshirt and Flip Flops kind of girl.
I wish I'd known this when I still had hair to curl. I always struggled with keeping the curl in. Now my hair is far too short to wrap a roller around!
She is! I wish I could get in a time machine and do something as cool as this with my hair at that age 😍
I'm hoping more styles like you are presenting, become popular again. 50's hair style's were so gorgeous.
Who cares if they're popular? Wear your hair how you want! :D
@@nicks.4276 Ever since I watched this video, I've been pinning my hair. I think it's cute.
Absolutely Beautiful. My moms always used dippity doo on the hair of my sister and I. We had to try and sleep with the center of these roles poking our heads all night. But we had beautiful curls all day then next day and both of us had straight, fine hair. Every Christmas, I decorated a small pink trees with black and pink roles, perm rods, bobby pins...and pictures of my sister and I and your daughter in ours curlers and curls. So fun. Great present for your favorite hairdresser.
I hope curled hair makes a comeback. It’s so much healthier for the hair too. I rag curl my naturally curly hair to have a more uniform and elongated curl.
I have naturally curly hair. I've always wondered about using rollers but didn't know if it would destroy my natural curls over time. How long have you been using rollers for?
Lottabody is life. We used it in beauty school.
Any other products you'd recommend (that the public and stylist can buy) thank you
@@traveliowa301 I haven't tried it yet, but I just discovered Color Wow Raise the Root volumizer through a video short. It looks promising.
We did not! I missed out.. What is this magical lotion?? The lotion we used for roller sets were for mannequins heads and not for human/people hair and it was a gel. Kinda weird pink gel, it would get hard and then it would stay and go white and flakey.
You’re one of the few beauty creators that I follow whose hair is as fine as mine. Would love to see more hair tutorials! Your hair always looks amazing. I’m obsessed with vintage styles.
Our grannies knew what they were doing! Those rollers brought back memories.❤️❤️
You are so goregous in makeup and without!Your eyes are so expressive and I love it!❤
Yup. That’s how I do my hair. Lottabody’s no joke! Wet-setting is also so gentle, and with my fine, fragile hair, using this technique for years has helped me grow my hair to my waist.
I have fine, thin, limp hair and don't style it at all. My hair is to my waist. I'd love to know more styles...
Wow! My mom use to do her mom's hair like this every week. Big memory! 🫶
That’s the amazing thing is once it’s set, if you pin up at night it can last for a week 😍 that’s so cute she did her hair too!
Girl you took be back to the 90’s with that lotta body!that was the ish in my time. Im glad to see your are carrying on the legacy
Please more accessible hairstyles for fine limp hair !
I do my grandmothers wash and set every week, there is nothing quite like a good old fashioned roller set!
Aww that's sweet of you
I love it!! We've always used foam rollers. My mom would go to the store and everywhere with rollers and a scarf tied around her head, to get set for church on Sundays. Memories...🥰
Lol me to when i was younger. I thought i was so cute, especially after i got the rollers out. Miss those days
@@tanyasmith4341 Right?? Good Ole Days...
Thank you. I forgot about that after being away from hairstyling for so many years. I went to be a boilermaker welder and didn’t do it again for decades and a full head of red curly hair and never had to concern myself with volume. It was the opposite actually until I lost much of my hair to chemo. I have been so sad and felt there was nothing I could do to look and feel good again. Watching you I think I will pull out my old bag of assorted rollers and try to make myself feel wonderful again. Thank you.
I never do my hair or makeup, but I sure love watching you do yours. Best Beauty Channel on the interwebs!
This reminds me of my mom and being a little girl in the 70’s getting my hair set in rollers. We had a salon-style hair dryer to sit under. Thank you for bringing back cherished memories.❤
The friend I needed 10 yrs ago!😍I love her ,she is so talented and gorgeous
Beautiful… Absolutely!! I just bought my rollers. My mom use to do this and now, I am following suit, thanks to you… Blessings.
I am so excited that I found you! Ty for your creativity and style!!! I adore vintage hair, so classy and sexy!
My gramma had the "helmet" hairdo. She went on Wednesdays to have a roller set and style at the beauty parlor. Then she kept it stiff with hairspray. She used SO MUCH hairspray!! Lmao
She smelled like hairspray and Lair de Temps. Such fun memories with her 💖💖
Mine too! Her day was Friday, so it was fresh for church on Sunday! 😂
So did my grandma ! She raised me because my mom passed when I was 2 weeks old.She would always go to get hair hair done at the beauty shop every Saturday morning. She would always have her hair bonnet with her in her purse in case it rained! Lol

Hey, theres a scary movie coming out with your name, Skinamorincky doo!!☠☠☠😎

💖💖💖
I absolutely Love having my hair wet set into a Huge BEAUTIFUL 😍 Bouffant haircut 💇♀️
It’s incredible how much your face and hair truly transforms after the makeup and styling. Wow!!! Totally different ✨🥂👍🏼
The school that I chose to go to for my cosmetology education. Taught all of the old techniques and I am grateful that I chose them because they did teach all of the older techniques....so worth it.
Honestly, i think a roller set is so much better than what you can do with a curling iron. I love the drama they create.
Takes you right back to mid century! I love a good roller set as it looks like an actual style...not lank, wavy beach hair...I really feel that more structured, "styled" styles like in the 40's and 50's will come back and you will be at the forefront of this trend! So pretty!
I totally agree with you. I'm not a fan of the wavy beach hair.
Roller sets are LIFE! I remember using Lottabody with my roller sets back in the day. Used to wet-set my hair on magnetic rollers (pink and green ones with the caps) every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday! What a memory. Your curls were lush AF! Great job.
It’s absolutely ridiculous how fuking beautiful you are!
Your vintage technigues use products that I remember being used in black hair salons when I was a kid in the 80s. Lottabody and the rollers are a real blast from the past.
I am cutting 18” off my hair and this is the direction I am going. People keep telling me how rollers are such a pain, but they don’t understand it is far worse to have long, fine hair.
I have the same problem! My hair is super thin these days and my hair is to my butt. It’s like I have so much but so little at the same time lol
babe your hair isnt limp or thin, its just hair 💜💜💜 it’s gorgeous either way💜
Thay before would beg to differ 😅 Thankyou though that’s very sweet!
Yup. I have limp and thin hair. I look virtually bald.
My curly frizzy hair would love to trade for your beautiful manageable strands😭
@@starlinguk this. I have actual thin fine limp hair. If my hair is very short like hers and curled I look like an old lady trying to hide her balding! What she has is fine hair but dense
@@bodyofhope oh, I would do that in a heartbeat!
My grandmother used to get a body wave perm and would roll her hair every single night with these same rollers, in this same pattern, cover it with a silk scarf then sleep in those things! 😮 She would occasionally roll my hair after my bath, and use Dippity-Do as the setting gel and I would sleep in those things too and had no clue how she was able to even sleep because I couldn’t. 😂 Those plastic stays dug into my head and the bristles inside those rollers poked my scalp severely. When she rolled my hair it was to give me those Shirley Temple curls. And then she would put a big bow on top of my head on the side and then she would squirt Clairol Final Mist over it all to hold it in place. This was in the 70’s for church. 😅 Everybody thought it was cute, but none of the little girls were wearing their hair in that style so I was embarrassed. When I got home, I would brush it and give myself a Farrah Fawcet hairdo. 😂
Wowwwww your styles are unmatched! Like the skills of a vintage god!
You truly look like a 50's movie star, absolutely gorgeous
Yes she does !
