- DING, DING! Let the battle of the heatless curls COMMENCE!
In lieu of me being super busy preparing for a convention (con crunching if you will), I needed to do something a little simpler for this week. SOOO, I pulled out an experiment that I've been wanting to try for years, and can finally test now that my hair is back to mid-length!
I wanted to compare how the sets of foam rollers, pincurls, and that viral hair wrap contraption come out. So I did! and I hope you like!

The “pinup-to-cottagecore Gepetto” pipeline is real, y’all.
😂😂😂
yes, and we LOVE
Gepetto? Like in Pinocchio?
As a 48-year-old man (with hair, but not long enough for this to be relevant) this is exactly the content I need to forget the miseries and deprivations of this world. Thank you Rachel
I love this comment! Just goes to show that, while demographics exist, anyone can enjoy and appreciate any kind of content in the end. Also, right there with you on needing a break from the miseries, so here's to having company!
:D
Chin up, chicken 😘
This!! I have natural curls and I still gleefully and attentively watch the entire video because Rachel is always such a vibe ❤
+
Gurrrl, I'm not coming to this channel for any polished, over-produced, high-effort kind of videos. I keep coming back for the charming craft goblin that is Rachel Maksy and her exquisite banter.
*chef's kiss to low-effort awesomeness
This! I think a lot of my favorite RUclipsrs always think they have to put out the most “high quality” content but in reality we all just love watching them for them!
That's some true ass shit you wrote! I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
The hair videos were with us in the old house, the first in the new house, they are gems
SAME. I like Bernadette and Rachel for exactly opposite reasons.
Bernadette would not in a million years been able to give me the courage to help my teen make Minecraft armor for his Halloween costume last year. That’s just not her vibe, but it’s definitely Rachel’s!
Goooood enuuuuuuuuuff
As someone whose method of achieving ringlets is "let hair air dry without touching it", this video is fascinating to me
Unfortunately even natural curly girls do need to style their hairs somewhat to achieve a vintage styled look
Rachel and I both have naturally curly hair and yet we still use these techniques
Same here! Watching Rachel dry brush the curls was very scary to me. My hair would become a dandelion or eat the brush if I tried that.
This is very much my oldest kid's method - they achieve perfect finger waves and curls without even trying 😭
Same. I've given different curling methods a try, but they're so obviously designed for straight-ish haired folks. My hair only knows one way to be and thoroughly resists any other taming methods. It's lion's mane of unruly curls or nothing!
You have NO IDEA how much I have searched for exactly this comparison!!!! And to have it delivered right into my notifications and by RACHEL FREAKINGG MAKSY???? Somebody pinch me I must be dreaming
Rachel was the one who introduced me to the vintage style and no heat curling methods many years ago.... I'm emotional y'all
was just thinking "how did she read my mind?!"
I'm thinking - I just cut my hair for the first time in ten years. I just need to grow it out an inch and I can start playing with curlers. And it's Rachael making the introductions. Thanks universe...!
- Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
As much as I love her this isnt a great comparison at all. She did horrible on the last one. I know for a fact that its a great method and it works wonderfully but she didnt even try
Loved the Star Waes references. I loved this video , I am looking for an easy method to curl my hair. Thank you for doing the hard yards for me ( wish I had your hair though) 😂
Instead of that third gadget, I do the same type of thing with just a robe tie, elastic banding the ends, and I can then cross the ties in back, up and around, and tie the ends together on top of my head. It’s a tighter curl - still may not be as good as foam rollers for your style - but it’s also more comfortable and secure to sleep in. I also have THICK hair and can vouch for this method if you dampen/product your hair properly.
I can also vouch for this as a fellow thick haired girlie. I am partial to finger combing after rather than brushing, so I'm not sure what that result would look like. I tend to put it up at ~90% dry and it's always set by morning. I imagine it would be just as fast as foam rollers with practice, but sometimes you just have to follow the old adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". 🤷🏼♀️😉
Thisssss, def recommend something like the rope of a robe or something cause I have really long hair and decided to try the 3rd one and it did NOT deliver like it does with just using a rope.
My hair just slide right off during the night and it was so uncomfortable.
The robe tie hack was the inspiration for that tube thing. Like any good method using things you have lying around the house, someone's gotta come along and ✨️monetize✨️ it.
I used a thick pair of socks and got it all really snug, but had similar results to Rachel's. Was super bummed.
I think the new thing would work best with long fine straight hair.
Veteran hairstylist here (43 yrs). Try using 2 bobby pins on each of your pin curls. It's sooooo much easier to remove them, plus it's way more comfortable to sleep on. You have such beautiful hair. Every one of these methods turned out fantastic on you, although the "this thing" I felt just left your hair more frizzy than anything. I think for your hair & lifestyle, foam rollers are really the way to go. You get a beautiful style with minimum effort. The pin curls turned out absolutely beautiful, but they really are time consuming & a hassle to put up & take down. We ain't got time for that! 🤣 I first came to your channel eons ago to see what all the young, hip women were doing as far as hairstyles & stayed for the bright bubbly personality.......& watching someone who adults about the same way I do. 💖💖💖
Bobby bins are nicer today sleep with, but I find them difficult to use with this length of hair - the rolls get too thick for the pins. So I bought those clips instead.
I second only using 2 bobby pins for pin curls. That's what I do and it's more comfortable. My go-to is tightly French braiding my hair when it's damp, sleep on it, take it out, shake it loose then add mousse. Super easy and I love the way it looks.
I was going to suggest the same thing but I would like to add boar bristle brush will help form the pin curls better (found that out when I used to wear the buggers in my pin up days)...and the that thing seems to work better when you use it as a third strand of almost a braid thats where I've seen people get the best use out of it...but yes its def for loose curls
So…here is 1 you could try, and easier to sleep on.
Take a bedsheet (old 1😊)and rip some strips up 6-8 inches long-1 inch or so wide.
Wrap your hair around it the same way you do with rollers and just tie a half knot to hold in place.
6 girls in my family. My mom and dad did this often in the 50-60’s
Love your hair👍
Yes, make an X with two bobby pins!
It’s killing me that you won’t see this comment - cause the Heatless curling rod is INCREDIBLE when done right. You don’t need product - and if you do, it’s extremely minimal. It works best on hair that is just the slightest bit moist - like a mist of water combed through and that’s it. Your wrapping was also too loose and started too low. My hair is the same length as yours and is thick and has a heavy wave. I do this method often and get the prettiest softest, flounciest curls. I hope you’ll consider watching a few tutorial videos and try it again. It’s such a great little tool when you get the hang of it. ☺️
Agree! Rachel used too much product and it messes up the final curl when you brush through it.
Also I don’t think you’re meant to brush them out, just shake and shape em a bit
Y’all are obviously trying to create a texture and silhouette that is MODERN. This is a vintage style channel and brushing through curls is mandatory to get a midcentury look. But yes I believe that it’s true, any tool you practice with is going to get easier over time, but she probably knows that already
@@maddieb.4282 Not trying to offer tips on creating the style - just how to use the Heatless curler in general. You can still use a brush to shape the curls into vintage styles - I do it often. The curling rod won’t work with heavy product (as we see in the video.) The hair should also start out at least 98% dry. Otherwise you get frizz and crunchiness. I use my Heatless curler frequently and have gotten it down to a science. Rachel has the perfect hair length and texture for it. It was just the execution that was off.
I feel like all 3 methods would have turned out much nicer with a light mist, little to NO product and either NOT brushing (that sounded horrible everytime she did it😬) Or to just finger comb or at the very least get the proper brush for brushing out curls - I feel like that brush was absolutely not the right choice, sadly it seems to kill all work she did to make those curls.
I really like the “low effort” videos. I wouldn’t frame it that way myself….absolutely delightful as all the “high concept” videos.
Yeah! It feels more relaxed and enjoyable.
💯
Plus it gives Rachel some time to work on stuff that might take longer
The little *quack* sound effect is my absolute favorite.
Gets me every time 😂
🦆
Same 😂 I even heard it in my head last weekend when my sister gave me a lovely present of which she claimed the wrapping to be very untidy. like, she apologized in advance for her bad gift wrapping skills and then she held it up and my head went QUACK 🦆🦆
@@azrani2023 🤣
My mother only did her hair with pincurls. She washed her hair once a week and the pin curl ritual would begin. She used bobby pins and a rat tooth comb to separate her hair and she did it wet. Very precise. I watched this every week of my life. She had baby fine hair and this gave her body and the impression that she had more hair.
My grandmother did pin curls too, she had a short haircut and I think relatively fine hair that was white by the time she was 30, I think the pin curls gave it some nice body and controlled curls.
My mother did the exact same routine - and I’m an ethnic girlie! (Creole/black from New Orleans, to be exact). I think the pin curls on wet hair once-a-week routine is truly a cross-cultural phenomenon, and I love that! Actually, probably a lot healthier for hair than all that heat with electric curling wands. I watched my mom do it during my childhood in the late 70s to early 80s, but I’m sure she was doing that routine even decades earlier.
Antoinette could be my mom was from West Virginia a southern thing
I love how they give three completely different looks. Rollers give a classic curl, pin curls give a very vintage 40s/50s look, and the overhead thing gives a very 70’s New Romantic vibe😊
Yeah, I actually love the results of the last one the most, looks very 70s.
For pin curls (as someone who does them every night), one method that I find is much easier and quicker is to use the end of a blush brush (or any tube-like utensil), wrap my hair around it (in rather small sections so it doesn’t fall out), remove the hair from it and pin it with hair clips 😊
Oh my god, you’re a genius!
Pretty sure you just changed my life 😅
Thank you! This is the most useful tip, that I have ever come across ❤❤
Mary, I use pincurls too. I always have trouble keeping the ends "in". I'm definitely going to try your suggestion.💖 Also, I use bobby pins, rather than what Rachel was using, which gets caught in my longer locks.
You are brilliant!
as a girlie who uses the "thing" daily heres a few modifications that really helped me if you feel like trying it again.
1. for the length of hair you might need the normal thinner one. it makes the curls tighter
2. use the unicorn method! its so comfy to sleep in and doesn't create the weird v in the back. also feels way more secure so you don't have to worry about it falling out or loosening while you sleep.
What’s the unicorn method
@@mermaiddiyartist8119I’m assuming she means the “top” goes at the base of your head and the ends meet at the top.
@@mermaiddiyartist8119you put the roller down the middle of your head and almost French braid from your bangs to the back leaving one side of the roller peaking out on the front resembling a unicorn horn
I’m a psycho. I have curly hair and love watching those wit straight/wave hair try and get the curl down. Anyway the UNICORN method has been the best I seen. So yes please try this Rachel!!!!😊
this comment may have changed my life. ill let you know shortly
As a curly-haired person, I have no functional reason to watch this video, but I will gladly watch twenty one minutes of Rachel Maksy teaching me how to curl my hair because it’s Rachel Maksy.
Same haha, though my curly hair is now supa dupa short so double the reason to watch purely for rachel haha
@nefertitimontoya Aww yeah my hair is pretty short rn too haha. Not the intended demographic but I love it anyway
curly here too, but the hair around my ears is straight! Going to try some foam rollers to help give it any kind of texture because it looks weird. My hair is very fine, so can't just tuck it away :(
I got bored once and decided to pin curl my straight waist long hair. After 2+ hours with me wondering why the hell I was doing this the whole time, the many, many, many pin curls were finally in. The result was amazing, with (mostly) beautiful bouncy curls. I didn't brush out the curls, so they stayed in pretty good shape for a few days, which is a miracle since my hair is hard to curl.
Listen- Bum Roll please had me laughing so hard my spouse had to ask me 'babe are you okay' so I think it had the desired effect.
same, and then the picture!
Same here
😂 Loved it 😂
Anyone wanna see if we can make that the most rewatched bit in the analytics?

Thank you for saying out loud how uncomfortable it is to sleep in curlers. Other videos make it sound easy, like there should be two dozen soft pillows clipped to my hair, inviting me to a refreshing beauty slumber! I usually only use curlers for special events, when it's already hard enough to sleep- nerves, or maybe a hotel room. Sleep deprivation as a beauty tool to help your big day go just perfectly! Ugh.
I am happier to just get up early and leave the curlers in until show time. I looked a little like a poodle last time, but at least I slept!
Get cozy curlers! They^re 100% soft, no wire or plastic
I hated sleeping in curlers as a little girl. Foam rollers just got tangled & that was a different nightmare 😮
Pin curls, secured with crossed, old fashioned u-shape hair pins (the good ones, not the drug store ones that bend). It's *almost* like you don't have a set in your hair at all. Second best is a soft rag curl (I use fat, satin scrunchies as "rags" when I'm really lazy.) Sleep comfort is a high priority for me with hair sets - foam rollers are great....but I never use them. They're one of the worst to sleep on. (Also, there are insane folks out there that sleep on things like perm rods or Velcro curlers and that's just not right!)
@@TruCatmy mom had this crazy idea to have me use Velcro rollers, with clips, on my hair in high school. My hair was already curly. In theory, I got bigger, softer curls, but they were even more prone to frizzing. And they SUCKED to sleep on.
Pillow rollers are so comfy to sleep in!
gonna be honest, the noodle is my favorite overnight sleep curl! even on my side. something to remember, rachel's been doing curlers for YEARS. that's obviously gonna go the best when its the one you're the most practiced with lmao. foam rollers and noodle are also for creating two very very different types of curls!
This is how I first found you… even before the NYX challenge …a hair video! I was looking for a 40’s tutorial… and stayed for you!
One of my students asked me why I sort sing responses to everything. Having watched a lot of Rachel today, I realize it's Rachel. It's GOoooooOOOO EnOOOOoouuuogh.
Gooood Enouuuugh just lives in my brain!
Omg, I had a similar teacher moment this week! Also, it’s way more fun to half-sing things. 😂
I sing Gooood Enoooooouuugh because of Rachel but I don't know if she's singing a real thing or if it's a Rachelism
I've been saying that lately and forgot it came from here.
I think it would be cool if you used foam rollers with those pin curl patterns, or get a book of roller set patterns and try different ones out. I would be so down for that.
You could also do a video making your own satin hair rollers.
Love this idea! I would watch a bunch of videos of hair experiments, especially to find the easiest to sleep on methods.
A couple of years ago I watched one of your videos on how you set your hair in foam rollers. I am in my 70s and found my usual method of blow drying my hair wasn't working like it used to. So--I started doing foam rollers and let my hair grow long in the back (yeah, I have a mullet now) and I LOVE it! I, like you, put a scarf on my head like my Mom used to do when I was a kid. I don't curl the back long hair, I always wear it up with large barrettes that I started making from thrifted jewelry. I have a new passion and I love it. My girlfriends tease me but I'm happy and that's what counts(and it looks good, too!). Thank you!
Rachel, I implore you to look into the brand “Cozy Curlers.” I started using them a few months ago after seeing some other people with long ass hair have success with them. They’re essentially foam rollers without the plastic rod, they have a net attached to the end of the roller that you wrap around your hair, after it’s wrapped around the curler. They’re much more comfortable to sleep and then anything else I’ve tried, and they actually dry somewhat quickly because they’re just foam, as opposed to the sock method. PLUS you really can change how the curls come out purely by how tightly you wrap the hair, and when the curls settle it’s soooo pretty.
Another fan of @CozyCurlers - in fact just got some for my niece for her birthday!
Easy to use and no plastic clips to fight closing (I have thick hair) or to hurt when I’m sleeping.
I feel like she tried the cozy curlers once and maybe that’s how I heard about them
curl brush out tip! if you brush your hair starting at the bottom of a section and work your way up to the roots, it's a lot easier, avoids major tangles, and is so much gentler on your hair! if you start at the root, it'll tighten any potential knots forming as you brush down. i always use that method when i have to dry brush my natural curls, and it makes the process way less painful 😊
It seems nostalgic to see Rachel doing hair vids. I love it.
As a curly girl, this is mesmerising and anxiety-inducing (my curls haven't seen a brush in over twenty years). As an illustrator with chronic art-angst, the whole idea of reminding yourself that your favourite things are your favourite things and other things suck, is a mantra I shall take forth from this day. Thank you.
glad I'm not the only one cringing slightly at the curls being brushed, I get that it's to create a specific style but it's so inbuilt in my brain that unless you want pain or to look like you've been electrocuted you just don't brush curls like that
@@emmao6578 Or trauma from all the times we've pleaded with hairdressers not to brush our hair as they look increasingly confused about what's happened to the curls you walked in with. Obviously Rachel always looks great though.
@@emmao6578this is vintage. Curls were ALL brushed to create a wave until around 1970
I’m most impressed by the fact that she can do this by herself, I would need a second person for these…
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
The “hello?” in the middle of “this thing” gave me Jenna Marbles vibes. And this whole video gave me Jenna’s Ratchet Salon nostalgia and I am here for it
Rachel really fills the Jenna shaped hole sometimes. Pretty sure Rachel is DinkFam 💙
I went from watching a Jenna video to this one.
The 'Thing' seems to be pretty similar to sock curls. I used to do sock curls every night but cut my hair too short to keep doing it. It's getting long enough to start doing it again and I'm so happy. It definitely takes some getting used to to get it right.
I have been looking for this comment - sock curls work really well for me as well and you can section your hair however you want.
Im still trying to make it work. But my problem is my hair doesnt dry. If it wrap jt up around the thing its going to stay wet. If i put product in then it will still be wet on the inside and dry on the outside and then it falls right oht
I tried sock curls so many times and I would just end up with weird dents and and nooks and crannies instead of a actual curls. I actually get better results and nice beachy waves of I go to bed with my hair 50-75% wet, sleep on it free over a regular towel, wake up to a humid day and didn't brush it at all (can you tell I have straight hair 😂)
@@maitesoto1953Yeah, you kind of have to be careful with the placement of your hair. (Not that you asked for advice but) I find it also looks better with dry hair and changing patterns of wrapping as you go. (All hair grabbed from the front goes backwards around the socks, all hair grabbed from the back goes forward around the sock)
I'm so glad you mentioned this! I was wondering if I'd imagined sock curls😂
Me: watches video about curling hair with naturally curly hair like
IM HERE FOR RACHEL YALL also for brushing out curls I suggest a wide tooth comb and not a brush, a brush will frizz up and seperate the curls too much whilst a comb you have a little more control over how the hair separates and way less frizz
Rachel and I both have naturally curly hair but use these techniques to style and control our natural curls in order to create a vintage silhouette and style. Vintage “curls” are SUPPOSED to be brushed out. It’s not “frizz,” it’s volume from the brushed out waves, and pomade smoothed over the top will fix any little frizz. Not brushing out the curls for a vintage look would look absolutely ridiculous tf
@@maddieb.4282 No I get that and I understand that. I know its supposed to be brushed out. Don't know why youre getting so upset about this. I was just saying if she used a different comb it might be easier to control. Chill lol
as someone who uses "the third thing" every night on dry hair, i take a piece from the front, then from the back, crossing them over the tube in a kind of X shape (like a braid where the foam always stay in the middle). it makes it much more secure and tighter curls. but they are more modern shape, like from a curling wand, not vintagey. there are tons of tutorials on tiktok!
Pippi Longstocking LIVES!!!!
Pippi is Anika!!
I think we can all agree she is the best RUclipsr on this platform
100% agreed🎉
She is the person whose uploads I am most excited for, and also one of the least frequent uploaders 😭. I understand why, I accept it, but I'm still sad about it. These videos always make me so happy!
By a lot!
She really is!!
Well she wouldn't be a yotuber if she was on a different platform lol
When I was young and had long hair, I experimented as you did and discovered that if I pulled all my hair up into a scrunchee on top of my head, then wrapped sections in foam curlers so they were piled on top of my head, it was easy to sleep as I wasn't sleeping on the curlers. In the morning, it was easy to take everything down, and because my hair spent the night "up", it had decent lift after I took everything down and styled my hair. Shortcut: if you don't want to sleep in curlers, when you get up, use a curling iron to warm-curl a section of hair, then immediately wrap it around a foam roller - repeat until you have curled everything. After your hair cools completely on the rollers, it should behave as though you slept in them overnight.
For some reason I always forget the power of your videos when I am in a depression rut. Yet time and time again your videos help me out so much. You really have such a grounding soul mixed with just enough goofy and funny that just brings out the best
This is old skool Rachel content and I’m here for it
The “pinup-to-cottagecore Gepetto” pipeline is real, y’all
I have a hack for the plastic parts on the foam rollers! I saw on a video to take the plastic parts off and replace them with strips of t-shirt. It's stretchy and instead of clicking the plastic parts, you just tie the strip of T-shirt and it makes it 100% more comfortable. And as an added bonus, you'll look kinda like an octopus or Medusa.
I went and sat in a theater today and watched The Mummy and thought of you. Looking at all the Evie looks. I can't believe it has been 25 years since that movie was in theaters! Anywhoozle, I hope you and my fellow Maskyteers have a wonderful weekend!
back in high school I used to sleep in foam rollers every day... I literally could not imagine subjecting myself to that again. I do the third method with a bathrobe tie and my bangs in foam rollers with pipe cleaners instead of the plastic clips and it's infinitely more comfortable and still pretty. my sleep is more important than the cuteness of foam roller cocker spaniel hair
edit: the third method gets so much easier with experience! you can get it more secure with the back of your hair by wrapping it tighter and following the shape of your head. with a little practice, it's so so fast to do. a bathrobe tie also makes the curls a lot tighter-- I used to do it with a satin ribbon when my hair was shorter for even tighter curls. highly rec if you're cool with a little trial and error to find your preferred strategy
You definitely did give me inspiration with the tube thing (3rd method) if I want to go to a costume party as Ahsoka. You are doing the Lord's work for us hair challenged gals.
My mom did pin curls by putting two fingers on her head where she wanted the curl to be, then with her other hand, took the hair section and wrapped around her fingers. Kind of like twirling pasta. Then pin. Much easer than the way you did it. Also, the curl starts at the scalp and the rest all twirls around from there. It makes a tighter curl toward the scalp. Use bobby pins and pin them in an X pattern over each curl.
Okay, remember the Wrap Snap and Go from TV a billion years ago??? THOSE are the best rollers and they are so comfy to sleep in! You can do a full vintage-style set pattern for the floof, or for more modern curls you can do what I do which is panic an hour before I have to leave for something, spritz some water, throw my hair into a high ponytail, separate the ponytail into 4-6 random chunks with the rollers, and then take it all down when I get out of the car wherever I'm going. Always get compliments on my hair!
Im a hairstylist and I remember when the inspiration pic for the black short hair came up on your page and I immediately said “ooo she’s gonna wish she just stuck with the Joan of arc wig” 😂😂
Maybe I’m alone but I loved the shorter hair too! So cute.
@@RomodowdI loved it too!!!! 🥰
awwe i liked the dark bob
@@Romodowd that’s not even a factor haha i didn’t say I hated it. it was cute. But I knew it would be short lived and then a massive pain to grow out lol
I see that with most clients who do a big change like that
@Romodowd Not alone. I thought looked stunning on her.
As a person with massive natural curls, this was interesting to see the lengths that people without curly hair go through to get curly hair. Sure, I may not be able to dry brush my hair ever but I'll take that over having to sleep on something uncomfortable.
Amen! 🙏🏼 Curly girl club.
yup I already have sleep problems so I'm glad I don't have to worry about this
Honestly, most of the people I've known that were big into doing styles and techniques like this had natural curls, I guess they just wanted to try different styles outside of what their hair did naturally.
Yeah. I prefer to just rock my natural texture too.
You have no idea of the neck crick an 8 year old girl has on picture day at school because mom forced her to wear foam rollers. Why is my smile so weird? Well, lemme tell ya.
I absolutely LIVED by your foam roller tutorial back in 2019 as I was just coming out of high school, growing out my hair and figuring out my style. Even though I’ve now gone through every hair length in the book and currently have a buzz cut, this was so nostalgic and it’s nice to see the foam rollers stand the test of time-as you said, sometimes you just need confirmation that your favorite is still your favorite!! I’ll always love your videos no matter what you decide to do each week, thanks for being my companion and first hair role model over the last five years ❤❤❤
Just recently I was scrolling through your channel to try and find some tutorials on how you do your hair, because I'm growing out my hair and it's slowly becoming what yours is ^^ and I love it! I legit always love these beautiful videos. I appreciate you, Rachel!
She’s actually had a tutorial of her hair a while back. I’ve used that tutorial for my own hair!
@@dessieangel1021 Yeah I watched a couple different ones from her. But I legit can't sleep with rollers at night. So usually I just use the 'Unicorn' style of heatless curls. That seems to be working good enough for now.
I've seen some people have better results with the satin heatless curler when they lay it along the center of their head (think like a unicorn) and wrap it more like a normal french braid rather than doing the two pigtail style wraps. Seems a lot nicer to sleep in if you are a side sleeper too. As someone vaguely considering getting a set to try, it would be interesting to see your experiences with trying that wrap pattern!
For what it's worth, I think if you're going for a controlled curl look, the pincurls are absolutely the way to go. Even on just a first attempt, your hair looked great in the pincurls! very coordinated and organized. The back of the head turned out good even tho it was pretty tricky.
A flat headband is hands down the best. Been doing it for over a decade. Not even hard to sleep in.
THE INTRO DRESS OMG
total gunne sax vibes!
@@mvrooks I knowww 😭😭😭
Foam roller tip! Elevate the top section more to prevent dents where the clip is 👍🏼
i loved this video man, its just nice to see you having a good time!! i always want to see yOU enjoying yourself, the 'makes' do not 'make' your channel, you do 💕💕 so pls dont feel bad for content like this because it is so fun to see you in a more chilled out environment enjoying yourself!!!
🤣🤣🤣 You ALWAYS make me laugh! Miss these hair videos!!! 🥰❤️🥳
It’s so nice to see your hair back!!! It’s so beautiful!
You are absolutely brilliant! I love your content AND your humor is amazing!
No clue why youtube thought this is the correct content for me as it resembles nothing at all that I normally watch but it was absolutely right. After a horrible day I did not expect to be laughing and giggling so much. Your commentary is brilliant. Instant subscribe. Thank you so much!
This video is so awesome such a change to all the negative vibes out in the world
I have no words to say how this changed my mood and morning
Oh boy, I’ve been looking into what I want for my hair curlers and I’m excited to see your options!
I love you Rachael so much!!!!!!!! I’ve been watching your channel for 6 years you’re the big sister I always wanted
🎼Swoop, there it is 🎼
Also, you gotta love the side-by-side of the pin curl placements to the diagram, not a one was in the right spot. Oh Rachel, this is why we love ya 😂
Thank you very much for clicking the ruby slippers. That was necessary 👍
i tried the 'thing' before, i've found that doing a unicorn braid by positioning the sausage front to back rather than to either side, and effectively treating the thing as the third strand of a french braid (its slightly 🤏more complicated than that - tutorials explain it better) works better for me as a side sleeper, because you don't have a weird lump on either side of your head, and I've found it curls your hair better.
genuine question, how is that any different or better than just doing a french braid and sleeping on it? My default hair method for years was just to plait my damp hair in various ways before bed and then it'd be wavy/curly the next day, just not sure what the "thing" is actually adding?
@@emmao6578 wrapping hair around the 'thing' makes it more of a circular ringlet, whereas just braiding it will only kinda make it wavy.
There's not a whole lot of difference really, but I find using the 'thing' also makes the ends nice and curled, where in a braid they would just be straight after where the hair tie was.
@@millyboop2047 I have a method for fastening braids that results in waves all the way to the end! It would be easier to show than describe, but I think I can convey it properly if I first describe the more normal way of using a hair tie.
So, to fasten hair with a hair tie, you set the loop around the strand of hair, and then you twist once so there's a loop around the hair connected to a newly formed loop. Set this new loop around the hair, twist, and repeat until all of the hair band is coiled around the hair and you can't manage to form a new loop. Normally you're aiming to cluster these loops directly next to each other, so they're neat-looking and fasten tightly.
However, you can instead choose to set each new loop you twist enough further down the hair that you can see the gap between. This forms a pattern of visible criss-crosses with a core of hair peeking through.
Now, instead of a thin hair tie, let's use a scrunchie. And instead of moving each loop to go around the hair, pull the hair through each loop, so instead of criss-crosses around a fairly straight hair core, the hair curves around the thickness of the scruchie.
My experience has been that you can get the bottom of the fastening much closer to the end of the hair this way-- maybe half an inch left out, most of the time, rather than the two or three inches I normally wind up with using the normal method. And the way it naturally settles draws the very end up into the scruchie over the course of the day/night. Then when the hair is released, there's no point where the wave suddenly stops, leaving a straight end; it's wavy all the way. I have had some occasions where the wave from the scruchie was much more strongly defined than the braid-wave, though.
@@Duskkit 😮Good tip! Will definitely try that from now on
How did Rachel know I needed this now 😭
tysm Rachel
Thank you! Relative hair novice, but you gave me all the information I needed to confidently choose pin curls. I already have bobby pins and scarves, no further purchases required. Thank you!
Your videos never fail to cheer me up
Whooo! New Maksy video and I'm here in the first hour! 🎉
And it's a throwback hair video. If you added a 'butt naked vintage' and some Frodo frolicking, this would hit the classic Maksy trifecta.
Your bob cut was amazing!! Never regret it!
I LOVE the pin curls hair! Especially the bangs. So pretty
Bobby pins would have worked a lot better for pin curls.. theres no place for the hair to get stuck between! I used to do pin curls all the time when my hair was shortersand never use those kind of clips.
Also, dont use the brush to pick out your curls - get a pick or a wide brush comb - the brush is what introduces the frizz - a pick would just separate them :)
I used to love sitting and talking to my grandma when she and my mom would work to pin curl her hair together .. One of my favorite memories
My hair is pretty much down to my waist and naturally wavy (actually curly at shorter links) so I just put my hair up in a sock bun or curls after a shower and pin curl a few of the strands that dont fit in and call it a day or if Im being super lazy braid it - both require a quick run through with the blow dryer in the morning if I want it fully dry and some gel either way but it works for me - probably because my hair isn't pin straight and has a curl pattern its working with.
Shes been doing these hair styles for years at this point and heard every single commenter through the years come out with these same 'uh, actually-' points, so i think she's pretty comfortable with the choices for her own hair here.
@@jasminv8653 she specifically said she doesn’t do pin curls and was looking at an actual instruction manual on how to do them, said she didn’t like them and completely struggled with the entire process of doing them and made a point of actually saying with more practice they’d probably be easier for her so no this isn’t a style she does often, and she had problems with them. She pulled actual hair out when pulling out the curls. She specifically said in this that her normal way to set her hair is foam rollers, not pin curls or anything else she tried.
As a trans woman who didn't get to learn this stuff when I was a teenager and now has 40 years of catching up to do, I can't even tell you how much I appreciate this video. 🙏🙏
So much love to you, girl 😍
Wishing you many many amazing hair days 💆🏻♀️
Hair is a lifelong struggle don't stress on it 💁♀️
@@toad5364 Ain't that the truth. *Frustrated noises*
When I was a kid we did sock curls, which work kind of like the foam rollers.
💜 I'm going to echo the wish for many happy hair days.
It's ok. I've had my whole life to learn and I still suck lmao. We learn together 😂❤
I'm so glad you're doing more "simpler" hair and decluttering content again!! I do love the more ambitious big project videos but it's just nice to sit and chill with you while you do these too ^-^ I missed these 💜
Awwww I missed the hair videos 🥰 and seeing the comparison was super helpful!
Yay the queen posted
Wheeze laughing the entire time you were trying to wrap your hair around The Thing. I needed that. 😂😂
This is my comfort show
When I had longer hair instead of foam rollers, I used cut-off pieces of fabric to roll up my hair and tied little knots to secure. Way more comfortable than having plastic pieces stuck to your head!
My hair is also thick, so I would use a dryer to at least dry my scalp and leave the rest overnight.
Although this video isn’t relevant to me anymore, I always enjoy you posting new content, so thank you for sharing! ☺️
Beauty, fun, and hair glory is always fun!
It's like you can see into my life! I was just talking with my daughter about using foam rollers to curl my granddaughter's hair for her dance recital. It's on a Saturday, so we can roll up her hair in the morning and undo them just before the performance.
So glad I saw this one! I LOVE your hair! It's beautiful!
Loved this one! Easy, breezy, and informative!!
6 minutes, 22 comments! People you work fast! 😂 So glad a new video is out to bring joy to our Friday! 🎉🎉🎉
I loved the short dark hair but i also love red on you too js
Love this kind-of videos! And not „simple“ at all! 🌞
Great setting! Love the dark green painted wall, your dress, your bright skin, the vibrant fire red hair. Your videos are always eyecandy and fun. Thanks!
The first video of your's that I watched was a victory roll hair video! 😊
I do a variant of the Thing where I tie a long ribbon around my head loosely enough to wrap my hair up (think Orianna from The Witcher 3) and pin in the back so it stays there. Then I push it up from my forehead. Makes pretty good curls and easy to sleep in.
Have so missed your hair tutorials!!! ❤
So appreciate this comparison so I don't have to waste time and money figuring it out myself. Thank you.
My grandmother taught me how to do pincurls when I was in high shool. They're still my go-to!
Do you roll them the same way she did? I think the woman in my childhood did it differently.
I think they would put a finger close to and parallel to the scalp. Then wrap the hair around the finger, starting at the scalp end.
When they got to the bottom end, rotate the finger and put the tip on the scalp. The hair slides off and is right at the scalp and in a good position to pin.
@@itzel1735 I do it away from my face until they meet in the middle.
I would legitimately be afraid to sleep on those sharp pin curls
They stay pretty flat, especially if you use Bobby pins.
@@marjoriethompson3790 oh neat! yeah bobby pins don't scare me (she said proudly) but the things rachel used look like they might impale me in the eye or temple.
We are here for you and your vibes; don't worry about complexity of your projects.
This is so cool. My aunt used to do pincurls. Heck, she may still use this method. My sister had pincurls on her cosmetology board test - that and finger waves, rollers. Thank you for your contributions to hair science!
You should try sock curls! They work for me ☺
I just keep telling myself, my hair needed a cut. It was crusty. 😢
Me happily watching this unfold with my short naturally curly hair. *sips coffee*
I love it. My mom was a hair dresser and even though she went to cosmetology school WAY after pin curls were popular she had to learn. She said on all of the curler types it is easier to learn working on someone else (or a wig) until it is almost like muscle memory and then do it on yourself...because you need to understand it before you basically do it behind your head. It is nice to have these kinds of videos mixed in...variety be the spice o life. Lolo
Thank you so so much for that setting foam suggestion!! I have stopped attempting to curl my hair via overnight methods due to how thick it is and a wet set never drying. Running to grab some of this product ASAP! 😍😍
"As my hair gets longer it gets heavier" As a fellow thicked-haired woman who also has to deal with the *ahem* "joy" of having more hairs on my head than say a natural brunette or red-head because I'm a natural blonde which just adds more weight and thickness to my hair, I felt that comment in my soul.
I will say, as a natural brunette, that my hair is an anvil on my head and is super thicccqc too… idk if color really plays into that, but I do say Godspeed to a fellow thicc (haired) individual and the… “blessings”… that come with it
The natural color of your hair does not determine it's thickness or the numbers of hairs you have. 🙏💗
I have fine (strand) thick (lots of strands) hair. I'm losing a lot of hair atm and i think I can feel my ponytail is thinner. I have also snapped a lot of hairs overusing hair elastics and have a huge case of the fuzzies. Or at 54 my hair could be starting to thin. In any case I'm glad I had thick hair to start with
My brunette hair was so thick that by the time it was mid back (like just above bra band) I was getting headaches from the weight. You can have thick or thin hair in any natural color. I keep it short now.
Me personally I found black foam curlers and fabric soft curlers specifically made to sleep in depending on what I'm doing works fo me. May try the third method eventually. Some people can pull off the pink, I cannot and being a child born in the mid 90s who was forced into pastels constantly, I gravitate towards darker jewel tones anywho, think anemic vampire skintone, I loathe wearing anything with above 20% pink. So if it's all pink, I'm like nope buying the dark alternate, thank you very much.... Great video as always. And do what you can and we as a whole support you....
