1940s Faux Bangs

[thenappfamily]

Ewwwww

[iLuvSmartCars]

Love it!! :)

[whiteraven83]

Making a Sally Jupiter costume for SDCC 2012.... SO GLAD I found this!

[klesperanza1814]

we're doing retro modeling this weekend 29 of January 2012. And i'm so bless i found your video! that looks stunning! Grnat Job! im just wondring where could i get that hair rat? since i haven't seen it. so good luck to me. thank you. more power!

[Avaaricious]

the fact that we have similar hair styles and seemingly similar hair textures makes this incredibly easy for me to watch and take in. What a great result, i cannot wait to try it this way for myself!

[PendletonCrawthorn]

How do you fix your own hair to the end of the rat?

[ImmortalChaos]

I know you from Fedora Lounge. It so weird to hear you for the first time. You have a lovely voice. Very helpful tutorial.

[channygyrl1980]

I tried so hard to find a rat in NZ before my vintage chic wedding reception but no luck. I'm still keen to wear this style as it looks so chic and you make it look so easy :) thanks :)

[sarrawh]

THANK YOU! This helped soo much! :)

[vanillaaahh1]

Really good, always wanted to know how it was created. Well made video, thanks ;)

[gommmme]

at first i was like "shes not gonna leave her hair like that!!" when you first pinned it haha

[hipretty]

superb...you look gorgeous...but i can def see how cutting true bettie bangs / fringe limits your style to strictly Bettie looking. So much better to be able to play with your hair and create this look when you want to! Thanks for posting this!!!

[PrimNpearLs]

This video really informed me well! For the "hair rat", I ended up finding some faux hair that they market for theater hair (actually wool) which I just held together with some of those tiny clear rubber bands. It works very well for me! :)

[asparecus]

perfect

[xJa5mine]

WOW!!!

[redvelvetunderground]

This is amazing, I was wondering if you'll ever do a tutorial combining the victory roll with the faux bangs. I'd really love to see how you do it.

[lizzycakes13]

where do you buy a "rat"?

[MrsYobiePants]

Fleur, I just wanted to thank you ever so much for this tutorial. I decided not to commit to cutting a fringe but still really loved the vintage fringe look. This is simply a brilliant alternative. I went and bought a hair sausage this morning and the results are wonderful. Thank you so much from Australia.

[darcymasters]

Fleur you are fantastic! Love ya! x

[UberObsessed]

I like how you fluff out the scarf, it makes it look like you're wearing a super-epic 40s-50s hat.

[Edieseye]

Awesome!

[odedaj]

Adorable! So nice of you to post this video. Thank you!

[skscherrylo]

hi! i love your blog an this tutorial but i have a question. after doing your bang, what do you do with your back hair? i cant see it and im interesting in knowing how to do it!!

[Mariavonmonster]

I can't thank you enough for this video! My hair is so long and I can never get a good victory roll. I never thought of using a rat, you're amazing!

[08babymonster]

ur really pretty n i luv ur hair in the beging kinds puffy

i dont why but i like fizzy puffy hair lol

[MadameShakespeare]

That is a FANTASTIC trick!

[missdixiechick30]

wonderfull i love it ,you are a real pin up!!

And the touch of calss that goes with the look.Good going be looking forward to see more videos.

[ddaannii11003300]

ok, that was pretty effin amazing! good job

[JustThatGirI]

that is so glamourous, i think i might die.

[19gloria56]

[luvlycherry69]

crazy ... cool job.

[irshgrlhr]

i'm gonna try this using a large pillow roller.........

[pvbrooks]

what lip color are you wearing? Its perfect and not too overwhelming for everyday wear!

[sethrow214]

this is very helpful!! love it, but where is a good place to find the rat thing?

[AtomicMimi]

this is great i roll my bangs like that with out the rat...i tried the rat but i got lost with it lol

[nataaa]

I really want to see this look with the victorian rolls :(

[brianbry93]

This is brilliant :) I'm slowly growing my layers out, it might help complete your tutorials :)

[powill]

HAIR RAT!!!! BRILLIANT!!

[kingsredwings]

Thank you for making this look so simple. I can't wait to give it a go.

[mrsmarinewife1]

This tutorial helped me alot!!! question...how does the hair look when being looked at from the back? can you see holes?

[sophiehelenXxX]

Wow thats fantastic!

ish I had a fringe long enough to do this :(

[brokendisease]

You look a lot like Laura Dern

[nastassiameyer]

What a helpful video and a lovely website! I can't wait until you post more videos of your flawless, glamorous hair styles. I was wondering, for victory rolls do you use rats on the sides as well? I'm looking to do long victory rolls and all the other videos online are quite small and use just the hair above the ears. Thanks for your help Fleur!

[NoirGirl39]

Wow Fleur - this is total genius! I have one of those crazy bun forms but could never figure out how to use it. I'm cutting it apart tonight! Thank you so much for this marvelous video. I'm all inspired now. :D

[jgabriellex]

[ChimneyCawk]

[RFBERNAL]

Love this video! When will you do the victoria rolls?

[plklkl]

[trishydelight]

What would you do to the rest of your hair if you don't want to pull up the back?

[lifeisgood06]

please make another video. i love the 40's looks!

[babyxedge]

I love fleur and her antics are hilarious.

[kolorkrazedolly]

hey i just did a faux fringy look , and it wasnt this neat , so i realized that i needed a hair rat , where can i get these bun rings ??? x

[vannadoll8]

this is VERYY goodd ;

thankk youhh very much ;

ypur very prettyy;

[hairyonion]

Hi Fleur, correct me if I'm wrong but did you used to compere at Volupte in denmark street? I think it was about 2 years ago, and you had more of a bob then?

Vicky

[utoobr10]

Looking forward to your tutorial on victory rolls

[utoobr10]

wow! you made this so easy and simple! So much easier than other videos I've seen.

I really like your "rat" tip.

[ethelshallow]

Amazing video! Thanks so much! Was the bun ring you bought to make the 'rat' made of of hair?! Or just that spongy type material? (I'd never even heard of a hair rat until this evening!)

[07trimarchie]

This is beautiful :)

[NaiveMelodiess]

Excellent video on faux bangs! I couldn't find any for the longest time. Can't wait to try this out

[EmilyyCecile]

impressive

[myduckyboo]

I have the same question regarding length. I found some great rats online and they are sold in various sizes; but I have absolutely no idea which one to choose.

[diaryofavintagegirl]

I just measured mine for the other commenter -6.5ins or 16.5cm - hope that helps!

[pzpcreations]

Great video! The most detailed and well made one for bumper bangs I have seen!

I just have one question, how many inches long is the hair rat?

[diaryofavintagegirl]

Thanks so much! Just measured mine - it's 6.5 inches/16.5cm. Hope that helps!

[ikra78692]

@diaryofavintagegirl you must be kiddinng me its crap

[ana18princess]

OMG!!!

Soooo cool!!!

do more videos pleaseeeeeee!!!!

[colorsmadeoftears]

I have to thank you because I tought I'd never have this type of look, because I can't grow a proper fringe !! I'm so happy now.

Thank you for making it all so simple...

I'd love to see it with te victory rolls as well !

[shollo12]

This is very clever. Dying to give it a go.

[khandiek]

fantastic as always Fleur!

[JaxxWench]

would like to see a vid tutorial with this AND the victory rolls......because i feel you pulled too much hair from the back?!?

[OMGBEANS11]

omg! you have saved my life lol! never thought id see the day when i could recreate this without having straight across bangs!

[BrotmitMarmelade]

very beautiful!

[soldier312]

insane!!... damn i love that when girls have this hair style.. and this look and all that stuff! :D ;)

[Eszerbet]

You addressed those parts that stick out on the sides! I'm so happy, I could cry. Others normally don't do that, but that was my biggest problem so thank you! I can now wear this with confidence.

[Succubus3e]

Best video for faux bangs! Bravo :)

[retropinup13]

This is the best video ever!!

[Msbbopalula]

Neat-oh!

[maimingbetty]

oh my goodness that's an adorable look.

[LisaFreemontStreet]

I linked this vid in today's tutorial (again). I also stole one of your gorgeous photos because I love you so much! And evidently I steal, when affection comes into play. *shaking head* Seriously, I hope you don't mind and will be happy to edit out said photo, should you so desire. xxoo :)

[DeeDeeDaniella]

after months and month on 'umming and arrring' about weather to cut a fringe or wether to keep it long and keep wearing victory rolls i am so glad of this video, thankyou it was so helpful lady!

[lvshoequeen]

I catch your drift! ;-)

[poisonDeluxe80]

TY so much this is really the best faux bang vid i've seen so far!

Very good!

Damn i just cut my bangs 2 month ago in betty style....

[adg135]

very clever i used to do a forward roll bang but flatten the edge out and make it lower like u do(which was VERY tedious) but this was very clever i think u should cut ur bangs like that u look really good with a betty style bang :)

[diaryofavintagegirl]

Ah, thank you! But I've had bettie bangs in the past and they do seem to suit, but when you have them, you're stuck with them! This is why I devised my faux bangs - best of both worlds!

[adg135]

you should look at lisafreemont's page b/c i was scared of cutting them again like that but she has a few videos and a book recomendation that will give u ideas to do cute hair styles with the bangs if u leave em a bit longer then what u would expect :)

[dcocobean]

You make it look so easy! It looks beautiful, thank you for posting this!

[ByeByeBelly]

This is cute, but I'd be too scared to wear it in public

[diaryofavintagegirl]

Naw, you'd be amazed at the amount of compliments you get!

[conundrum11]

why?

[sashkalitcheski]

that looks nothing like a rat and alot more like brown dildo.

[diaryofavintagegirl]

You're welcome to try using one in that way - I suspect the ingrained hairspray and abrasiveness would give you a nice rash. Please don't report back on your findings.

[sashkalitcheski]

LOL!

[jesstankgirl]

This is the best tutorial for faux fringe and it has realy helped, i'm going to try it when my real fringe has grown out competely, you will have to show us a victory rolls tutorial when you get round to it, I have trouble getting them even!

[KILLAFEET]

the Two thumbs of my killer feet are up for this one! YEAHH!

[killerteeth]

Seriously, this is the best tutorial on bumper/faux bangs. I never thought about cutting those bun ring things! Genius!

[KILLAFEET]

GiRRRRL.. this is awesome!... ;)

[lauraloz06]

such a great tutorial! it's very creative and clever and you look absolutly STUNNING! i'm addicted to the 1940's style and you pull it off well! thanks x

[FluorescentFlora]

Duude, this is the 21st century. Not the 20th.

[ugne89]

this is really good tutorial i'll watch it again and try doing my own hair

[ettehadesabz88]

thats like the best birthday present ever

[cyberminky64]

wow, this is such a cute look :) i loved this tutorial and i've subscribed :D

enjoy the rest of the day

xx

[KittehFace]

I wish I had the right type of hair and facial shape for this, but I love this tutorial~

Thanks x

[Frypsy]

No, It's the 21st century now...

[diaryofavintagegirl]

Oh! I thought this was the 21st century... thanks for letting me know ;)

[FluorescentFlora]

We are in the 21st century now, dont let her fool you!

This is really great by the way!! I love it!

[dirtygreb]

this suits you so well!

i have a straight fringe so i sometimes tend to just use my straightners to curl in and get a similar effect

[KATESTUUU]

love this hairstyle! and if i had to go back to a time in the past it would definetly have to be the 1940's in America! :) great tutorial :Dx

[diaryofavintagegirl]

thank you!

[twinandtonic]

Great tutorial Fleur, I've wanted to try this look for some time. You make it look so easy!

[diaryofavintagegirl]

Thanks gals! I will see you on Saturday!

[plasticnitwit]

amazing tutorial!! gahh! thank you!

[sunshine3061]

Can you show us how to do fingerwaves on long hair?

[cettepetiteprincesse]

omg. that is so cute! thanks for the post!

[zaaz369]

I have thin hair and that much of it, so its hard to do the 40's looks. thanks for the video. I would have never thought of a hair role.

[Bambilabomba]

You, doll, are simply fabulous! thankyou so much...ive endlessly tried both these hairdos, and you have made it simple as anything for me. Kepp up the good work!!!! x

[diaryofavintagegirl]

Thanks so much lovely!

[veromedina13]

What is a "hair rat" exactly? Where can I find it in the States (California)?

[diaryofavintagegirl]

Sorry, I have not been keeping up with replies! I did demonstrate the rate I use - those donut shaped hair rings are easy to find in places like Sallys, or so I am told!

[squaw2]

Loved your videos! I am involved in WWII reenacting and am always looking for hair creations. I enjoyed yours the best on Youtube and look forward to your victory roll video. Carolyn, Florida USA

[warclassics]

awesome! :D i can't wait for more. you make it so much easier to do.

[kris10cali]

Well done, I love it! Can't wait to learn new techniques from you! I already have a "Betty" bang/fringe, so this one I can't use, but still fun to watch.

[LisaFreemontStreet]

I was thinking the same thing, kris...I almost wish I had no bangs just so I could try this. I did buy the rat and stitched the ends though, for a Gibson Roll...so maybe someone will let me 'faux bang' them soon. LOL

[kris10cali]

One of my friends dressed pin up for Halloween, so I got to 'faux bang' her. (lol, nice term!) Unfortunately, we didn't have a rat to hold them tight, so I pinned them to the side, put still cute. Learned that technique from "ilovegerardo", she does a lot of heat curling dos. Thanks for the link to "diaryofavintagegirl", I think she's great, very unique.

[jackiknutson]

YAY A NEW VIDEO THANKS!!!

[AmandaLarsdotter]

where can i get one of thouse hair rats?

I live in sweden btw

[diaryofavintagegirl]

Hello! I'm afraid I don't know - you can buy them from normal chemist/drug stores over here!

[MerCooties]

Wow! they look great like way better than my actual bangs ever did. Great Vid! =D

[CharminglyRetro]

This is too cute! Love it!

[duecekat]

wow thats just perfect. ur tutorials are great. keep it coming.

[mloes405]

This was very helpfull, finally a usefull faux bangs tutorial! Thank you. I think I will try this next week - first get me that funny hairthing.

[mineraljunkie]

very cool!! and it looks so good on you!

[NylonRiot]

Fantastic tutorial Fleur. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next. Thanks from one of those disgusting hair savers :)

[diaryofavintagegirl]

hehe... sorry if I offended, I was just trying to be funny! :)

[NylonRiot]

no offense whatsoever :)

[tutieq]

I love your two videos I'm glad you're going to do more :)

[clairevamp69]

Fantastic! Very helpful 2 those of use that just cannot achieve 40's hair very easily. Can't wait 4 the next 1! :D x

[MsFaintlyMacabre]

I love it! but i don't have a hair rat handy...arg! And I also discovered the "icky face" i make when i'm spraying, too. You're not alone.

[diaryofavintagegirl]

tee hee - icky face! I tried not to - I just can't help it!

[PaleMagnolia]

Oh, that's absolutely great! I was looking forward to see that, and I can't wait for more vintage hair tutorials!

[TheBeautyofVanity]

I love how easy you make it look! This is such a great tut for something else to do with bangs upon growing out. Thanks!

[leilanihawaii]

That was the best hair tutorial I have ever seen, when you spread out the hair! genius! Thanks so much , I have been wondering about this look for ages!!!

I do pinup and performer burlesque photography but have an interest in the look for myself! thanks

[retrobrunettebeauty]

Fleur! Great video indeed! I've been practicing how to do my faux bangs for a bit now and the way you do it looks so easy and quick. I will definitely give it another try in the near future.

Thanks for posting and I cannot wait to see other swell videos of yours!

- Sarah

[LisaFreemontStreet]

Fabulous! So glad you're posting again. :) I have always shied away from Rats because my hair is fine and I have difficulty keeping them covered...considering trying again.

[TheBeautyofVanity]

Maybe pinning in a real hair weft under your natural bangs? I worry about that too..So if you have weft/rat success....let us all know! ☺

[PoisonViolette]

Yes, you are gorgeous, beautiful & entertaining, and so is your vid. Thank you for your advice, I was convinced this hairdo wouldn´t be possible with the big rats, which are the only ones I find here in Austria, until I saw you use the same ones, ha! ;-)

[greenjillybeans]

Awesome Tutorial!! Now I want to see if I can find one of the "rats" somewhere:) I am excited to see more video's from you:)

[eaj1es]

great work Fleur, congrats

regards

Alex

[Glamouracecollies]

Great tutorial,

I see I do have the same hairrat as you do, so I must not be a problem doing this.

(altough I have short bangs now)

[bellabella327]

I loved this vid! I can't wait to see more hair tutorials from you :) ...maybe a makeup vid as well?

[msbombshellbecca]

Love it! Just got to find a rat now.

[jesse2900]

lol your so funny

[Emilysdippindots]

I love your video! You are gorgeous!

[Oysterbluestoday]

Yay! I cant wait to see the one with the victory rolls I've always wanted to see how to make it all connect.

[aztecmija]

wonderful!

[GinPrincess3931]

Ha, brilliant. I wish I'd seen this before I cut my fringe in ;)

[godsgracie12]

Awesome!  Thanks for posting!
