Diamonds and Dames Episode 16-"Slim's" 1944 Sleek Waves

[shakesforbreakfast13]

ahh! so simple! did you curl your hair then pin it, or wet set, or just dry?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@shakesforbreakfast13 wet set. :) I usually start w/ dry hair and spray the individual sections wet w/ a spray bottle. I get a better result that way.

[voceval1]

This is my favorite of glamor/do's, and have been waiting for a tutorial like this. By the way this hair-color and style on you makes you look Incredible! Thanks for posting

[Requiemforalove]

omg i love those vintage hairstyles! i have afro relaxed hais i dont know if this in going to work for me but im triying anyways for new years eve!!!!

[IrisLiesgen]

LOVE IT!

[caliliz1]

Lisa I love all ur tutorials! Thanks to you I know how to style my hair and I love all ur red hair tone colors! Plz don't stop making hair tutorials! Ur my fav!

[kittiebilly13]

i have a question! i have very long very naturally straight hair, i used to not have a problem with my pincurls before, just lately when i brush them out it goes flat annd straight :/ and i cant achieve the shape at the bottom anymore

any advice?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@kittiebilly13 You probably just need a haircut. :) 

[HonnieRose89]

I am wearing this hair to my friends wedding - she's a hairdresser so I'm really happy that I will have something that even she says 'wow' to. Plus my boyfriend loves Humphrey Bogart, so you can imagine his excitement when he came home and saw my first test - it was a bit more frizzy than I wanted...I forgot the pomade :S But the next time should be amazing! Thank you!

[RedRbot]

You say your hair was very layered--was your hair cut in a middy? What sort of layers did you have? Because this is my *favorite* style, and I'd love to reproduce what you did here.

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@RedRbot YES...a grown out middy. See my middy haircut video...this is that cut grown out.

[dll0990]

What's the song called?

[pretty00kitty]

what if you have long hair :/

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@pretty00kitty Not sure of the question? My hair is pretty long here. If your hair is longer, and you want this look, you'll need to cut it. :)

[alinecalves]

genius!!!!



[dinkstarhair]

you're good!

[EgyptianPride]

I love your red hair!

[cmw777777]

My hair is the same length as yours right now (before you cut it) and whenever I do pin curls with this setting I never get curls and My hair just folds together, so you can never see small individual curls. I've tried that technique that you did in one of your videos with brushing a small piece of hair over your finger but it just makes that piece separate from the rest of my hair so it looks a bit awkward. Is there a reason why? Should I get more layers cut?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@cmw777777 mine was very layered so maybe not...keep trying different techniques...

[TheBigleggedwoman]

Oh my gah. Sexy!

[TheSweetmari1]

Nices job! looks  really good on you!

[TheChiquechick]

You look just like Marilyn Monroe when she was Norma Jean.  Lovely.

[TheChiquechick]

Can you sleep in pin curls. I'd like to try this one evening

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@TheChiquechick Yep. I slept in this set. Literally takes ten minutes to style the next day. :)

[littlemissmoo14]

Oh I've been wanting to do this hairdo for ages! Haha my grandpa always sings the mairzy doats song to us

[meadmaiden]

One of the most flattering looks I've seen you do! Lovely!

[MARLENIAMOSLEY]

Thank you for this hair style I'm going to try this one tomorrow thank you again for this one tutorial I love it.

[tricoloredeyes]

I love the combo of pin curls and Marcel waves in this one! It almost seems like this could be modified for a Veronica Lake style as well. I'm definitely doing this style, love it! As always, your wonderful! I can't wait for the next one ...

[lilmissgoldilocks07]

That's absolutely gorgeous! Might go for a search of these clips you use for pin curls, they look so much easier to use than those damn bobby pins!

[kirasgirly]

I love this style. What setting style would you recommend for medium/thick very straight hair. Would pin curls be best or another setting? Is that you're favorite setting foam/spray/lotion?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@kirasgirly YEs I like Motions the best. And this setting should be good for your hair type. 

[kirasgirly]

@LisaFreemontStreet thanks for replying :D i'm gonna try it defiantly.

[mannamcnair]

And by soon, I mean today! :)

[mannamcnair]

I'm definitely doing this hairstyle soon!

[belladarling222]

Cute!

[Al3xInWon3rLand]

I love it!!! Your hair looks beautiful I can't wait to try it out

One thing what do you mean by you prepped it when it was wet? I have the motions foam but I don't think I'm using it correctly...

[79roxanne]

I can't find pomade, can I use wax instead?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@79roxanne pomade is very easy to find...wax would not have the right effect.  Check my blog linked in he info bar 4 more info....

[79roxanne]

@LisaFreemontStreet I checked it and I saw that you offer at your shop but the problem is that I' m living in Greece... The shiping cost for the pomade will be more than the pomade its self...

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@79roxanne flat rate 7.00 outside of the US. Not bad shipping charges. ;-)

[79roxanne]

@LisaFreemontStreet

you are right, not bad at all!

Thanks a lot :-)

I love all your videos

[nbilladeau]

@79roxanne hey doll you should look in your "ethnic" hair section of the store they have pomade there and its like in a tin can type thing, im biracial and my sister is white and we both use the pomade from the ethnic section because its just the same and usually cheaper but still fabulous quality. hope this helps.

[79roxanne]

@nbilladeau

It's the tin can that made me think of wax (this is how you get it here) ... Thanks for the info, I wll go an "ethnik" hair section and I will check.

Thanks again

[Janimal1000]

Really top notch, kid.

[peachesinfall]

you are such a doll :)

[LovedbyKenubus]

aaawwww I love the hair and the andrews sisters....♥

[sistersandcats]

this "do" is amazing! Your videos are all so great, and they keep getting better! Thank you soooo much!

[Trayceg]

Amazing.... your just too pretty for words! finally ventured out in my retro look ...my hair is short so i did a pin curl/wave set and wore a scarf put on my ruby woo lipstick and winged eyeliner ...i dont know why i thought people would laugh at me ( i live in a small city) Women complimented me and my husbands friend said i looked stunning and most importantly i felt beautiful!!Thanks for the lessons angel!

[GenTink]

My hair frizzes terrible after I brush it. Is there a product or technique I can use to prevent this?

[79roxanne]

@GenTink

I have the same problem...

[nelsonmesa7]

i was wondering if when u sleep with ur hair set if u wrap it in a bandana or anything?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@nelsonmesa7 yes, a chiffon scarf. A hairnet also works.

[bug379]

this is so pretty!

[RedDragon45]

short,, sweet, and easy, just how i like 'em. that was great, thanks!!!

[ZomBettie]

your blessed to have a perfect hairline, am cursed with a cow lick hairline

[amandabolten]

Gorgeous! I adore this style so much.

[TheChum1981]

you know i have tried to use pomade and it's like bacon greese in my hair. i thought maybe i was putting too much on but even with very little it's the same effect. i have oily hair....=(

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@TheChum1981 THe trick is to use just a tiny bit and to use a water soluble pomade, like this one. See my blog post for more info on the products.

[keanapalmtree]

you are an artist!

[stingrey811]

lovely as always:)

[cstar104]

[jenjenjuicyfruit]

[queefstorm]

You make it look *so* easy, I am truly jealous!

[Rockahbilly]

This is my favorite tutorial now <3

[xAislynnx]

Love it!!!

[litllulou]

i love all of thesehair styles i think there absolutely bautiful but when i try to do my hair usualy it tends to get VERY frizzy do you have any suggestions to help that?

[VintageBeauty1313]

what brush do you use?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@VintageBeauty1313 Its a denman styling brush from Sally's Beauty Supply.

[4everClassics]

This is a lifesaver- To Have and Have Not is one of my favorite films and I've been trying to copy this look for some time now. Where did you buy the pomade and setting lotion?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@4everClassics see the linked blog entry for all product info.

[Msbbopalula]

That turned out just perfect!

[ColbertSmith]

Omg, thank you!! That's FANTASTIC!

[LadySalvatore]

Thank you ever so much for this lovely tutorial!

I've been yearning for ages for you to do a tutorial for this EXACT look!! :D

It's absolutely STUNNING!! <3

[CANDY13kizz]

this is beautiful :)

[rednogo]

Beautiful as always Ashley. You must really get sick of hearing that. ;)

[IchBinDerVerlorene]

THANK YOU!!!!!

[Lacquerandlace]

lovely

[bloodyfountain]

SO sexy :D

[Fancylooks]

Lovely hairstyle that blends with your hair and face beautifully.

Ashley, have you heard of a home made setting lotion for curls made out of egg white lightly mixed with lemon juice??. I don't know about proportions, but I have heard it works very well and nourishes the hair. I thought you may know a little bit more about it..

[shebabe03]

I want to see a picture of your family:)

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@shebabe03 AWWW...thanks. :) I don't share my family with the world. haha. But I do have a few pics of the boys on my facebook page...and I think there are a few pictures of my husband in my Viva las Vegas videos.

[theLadySpies]

how long does it take you to get a look right? Because you make it look so easy! I'm super jealous.

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@theLadySpies This literally took ten minutes. The pin curls do all the work for you.

[theLadySpies]

how long does it take you to get a look right? Because you make it look so easy! I'm super jealous.

[atomikmomma]

my hair is SO thick, there's no way i'd have it in me to pincurl 3/4 of my head, lol. but it does look SO lovely. i need to get me some duck bill clips!

[TheJennyCash]

Motions is my favorite type of setting lotion!

[MissMortViolette]

So stunning!!! I wish my hair was short enough to achieve this look.

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@MissMortViolette shall I tell u how to remedy that? *snip snip* >:}

[LullaLapinup]

Your hair color is just awesome and your tutorials are amazing !

[AintMizzBehavin]

Love this look, always have. I WILL be trying this one. ^__^

[cheapsexjack]

cute!!!!

[PrimpedPreenNPeachy]

hey so glad you did a lauren becall look she had such nice 1940s waves next week i'm cutting and donating my hair so it will be short enough to do this look. i'm excited to test it out!..... also love to hear what your fav LB movie is?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@PrimpedPreenNPeachy this one!! :)

[LetzMakeup]

Oh Ashley, I wish I had your patience for hair maintenance and styling!! It's my one major downfall as far as my grooming is concerned, well that and not shaving my legs when it's cold, ha ha!! This hairstyle is gorgeous!! xx

[MiaRose914]

Love this :) I Just watched this today and a bunch of Bette Davis movies too<3

[lotsandlotsofbubbles]

I LOVE this hairstyle! The setting pattern is similar to what I already do, it should be easy :) THANK YOU!

[adesperados]

hi , really nice!!

this is the first time i watched one of your movies , i dont know if u did already , but it would be nice if you could show how u part the hair and rowl and pin up ??

thanx anja from germany

[Hevynly1]

One of your very best looks. Just completely gorgeous. Well done, you! :) Thank you for sharing! 

[barramayra86]

thanks sooo for the video your awsome love it :)

[vikonfire]

So easy and yet so pretty!!! Thank you for filming this look!

[kulcak84]

so sexy :)

[MrsPinkyLove]

Thank you so much! Gotta love lady Bacall and her hair :) I'm trying this tonight.

[SpElLdEaTh03]

Will it work with longer hair? Mine is quite long (to the middle of my back) and dry. I`m afraid that it will frizz and destroy the look :\

[SLAMSwan]

Love it!  I'll have to try it!

[panamanianprincess12]

beautiful! i love it as usual :)

[shellysosa]

i would love to try this but my hair is super long. i dont have the guts to cut it. wish i did.

[germangirl4017]

Aww the nursery looks great! I hope I can attempt this look in the future, I have a cowlick at the front of my hairline that just refuses to work with me, but we'll give it a shot!! Thank you kindly :D

[tipsytoni]

Hi Ashley, I love this video but do you think it would work using perm rollers all over if you can't master/don't have the patience for pin curls?! :)

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@tipsytoni probably...something very similar anyway. I chose perm rods on the top because long hair and pincurls are difficult at the top...tired arms. heh heh.

[MissThomCat]

So gorgeous!! I love it. I'll be trying this tomorrow!

[SaintWithSuperPowers]

Ahh, every time I hear that song Mairzy Doats I just think of 'Twin Peaks' now haha.

Lovely tutorial, it looks quite simple - maybe I can try after I learn how to do the curls :) xx
