Hair Styling - Vintage Faux Bob (1920s inspired) | ASMR Cozy Basics (curlers, soft spoken)

Good evening,

and thank you for joining me tonight

for this new hairstyling video.

This time we are going to focus
on a hairstyle inspired by the 20s,

but a simple and easy version.

Although I've never made a video
set in this era

I was inspired by the faux bob technique

to make my long hair look short

in the Noir videos I made this year

that were set in the 50s.

And tonight I will show you

how to achieve this fluffy short hair look,

especially if you have long
and straight hair like me.

I managed to find this doll's head
second hand,

with long enough hair
to show you the trick.

This is natural hair,

and it's so hard to find a doll's head

with natural hair which doesn't
have a terrifying face,

but this one is pretty.

No nightmare.

So, let's dive in.

First, I will need this straight hair
to be as voluminous as possible,

so I will use these vintage curlers
I always use for my own hair.

If your hair is already curly,

just skip this step of course.

These are from the 80s/90s,

but you can still easily find them.

I also tried these vintage foam/sponge rollers.

But they didn't really work for me

so I went back to the curlers.

These are from the 60s/70s.

They were very popular.

None of these are from the 20s of course,

I'm showing you how to make
this hairstyle nowadays.

If I wanted to do it with
historically accurate tools

I would use an antique curling iron

or the pin curling method,

and for that I would suggest a tutorial

by ALB in Whisperland,

I will put the links down below.

Now before I start rolling sections
of hair around the curlers,

I'm going to add a bit of oil on it.

Even it's real hair,

there is no longer any natural oil

coming from the scalp of course,

and the curling will be more efficient
if it's slightly greasy.

So...

If you've just washed your hair

of if it's a bit dry,

this is something you can do as well.

Using castor oil, olive oil, avocado oil

or any other oil of your choice.

I think I'm going to try hair pomatum.

This was traditionally used during
the 18th century,

and it's very greasy.

I think it will do the trick.

And it smells so good.

There is...

rose water, lemon,

orange flower, violets, and jasmine.

Let's try this.

But I don't want to be too heavy-handed,

just a little bit...

Starting from the scalp...

And going down to the tips...

A bit more...

I think this is enough.

The tips are dry.

Looks good.

Now it's ready,

I'm going to start with
the front section of hair here

and work my way all around
from the top

down to the back of the neck.

I'm going to need a comb and...

Here we go.

Rolling as tight as I can...

And here is the first one.

Let's keep going.

On the other side...

Alright, I'm out of curlers now

so I'm going to use

foam rollers.

I don't need as much volume for the back

so I will mainly use the biggest ones.

Alright.

Next.

Last one.

And that's it.

So I will have tighter curls
at the top and the front

and loose curls at the back

where I put the biggest foam rollers.

And now it's that time when
you have to wait at least 12 hours.

So you can do it in the morning
for the evening,

or as I usually do, in the evening
and sleep on it.

Which is not really comfortable

so what I like to do is
wrap a scarf around my head

to add more padding.

And I'll be right back.

Alright.

So it's been almost 20 hours now

since I left the doll's head with
her sea urchin look,

so it's more than enough.

Now I'm going to remove
the curlers and rollers,

one by one,

starting at the bottom.

And...

What I should have right now

are beautiful ringlets.

Looks good.

And let's keep going...

On the left...

The smallest ones...

Beautiful.

And I'm almost done
with the foam rollers.

And now let's remove the curlers.

Nice.

Last ones on the front...

Alright.

It looks good.

Now I will brush these curls out

to create this beautiful
voluminous effect that will

be much easier to work with.

And I will start at the bottom.

If you'd like to keep waves at the top,

you could use a few hair clips

so you won't pull them
brushing the lower curls.

I have vintage clips here
but these are a bit short.

It would be something like that.

I think I will start with my fingers only.

It's the first time I'm using this doll's head

so I'm not very familiar with this hair yet.

And I don't want to completely
take the ringlets apart so...

I will be honest,

it is not really turning out
the way I was expecting.

I think the hair might be to heavy.

But it's alright, I have enough
volume on the top

and the technique will remain
the same anyway.

So now I can create
my short hair look

by taking small sections of hair

that I will roll inwards

in a small bun.

So I can tuck it under the upper part.

I will use simple vintage bobby pins.

The colour looks fine,

it may be a bit too light.

And I will use a bit of hairspray as well.

And here we go.

I will try to keep the volume here

with these large waves.

You can choose the length you want

but usually the easiest place to pin it

is right behind the ear,
slightly above it.

And once I'm happy with the result

I can use a bit of hairspray.

And I will keep going like this
all around the head,

section by section.

I'm just smoothing the hair a little bit.

Making a little bun...

And now pinning it.

The length looks fine.

Another one...

I can take a bigger section of hair
for the back.

Good.

Let's roll this and...

Pin it.

One last for this part.

Perfect.

There.

Brushing gently so
I can keep the hair fluffy.

And here we go.

The length looks fine.

Now let's take care of the last part.

I might try to hold
one wave in place.

Let's give it a try.

Just like this.

And now I'm going to roll
the last part.

I'm going to need more bobby pins.

One last.

Now I'm going to arrange
some strands here and there

so I can achieve a nice shape.

Alright.

It's not perfect, a bit chaotic but...

No that bad.

The short hair effect is here.

And I like to keep it simple but

you could add a few hair ornaments
for a party or something.

Like those I've gathered here...

Just to add a fancy touch.

So I have a few feathery things here.

Very "Charleston".

White feathers...

and 2 headbands.

And this one with beads.

I think I will try this one.

Let's see.

So this would go on a side.

It's too large in my opinion.

Yes, I prefer this one.

She looks much better.

Now she's ready for the roaring 20s.

So I guess I will have to practice
a bit more with this doll head,

the hair is dryer and heavier than
on a my other 2

which also have natural hair

but much easier to work with.

I still hope you enjoyed this video

and, as always, I wish you
a very good night.
