Ask Cora: What's that thing on your Head?

[diannaismyname]

I hope you are a makeup artist! because you are fucking amazing!

[Yakiyuugure]

i've recently found your channel and I'm in love with it! btw I use the same "thing" on my head haha :) love it too! I used to live in Japan so I bought quite a few for me and my friends :D

[xxashtonlee]

For all I know, they might be Jaba the Hutt-LOL!

[angelsandfaes]

tooooooo funny. I sometimes wonder what kind of person sits in a room all day thinking "hmmm what can I use this weird thing for?" lol. great idea tho. Check out how silly putty and slinkies were discovered.

[sarahvlogs9]

"whatever floats your boat honey" omfg i laughed so hard.

[sarahvlogs9]

when i saw u put the velcro thing in your hair i instantly thought 'aliens made this...' I don't know why, oh yes i do, they r awesome!!!

[teamepiclulz]

gurl this is so tru omg yes velcro lol omg tru story i luv dem gurl

[samiami22]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥LOVE♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[acidwash06]

I've never seen one of those before! But I'm gonna have to get one now ;)

[ea000blaze]

I have something similar that I bought years ago. They're from Goody, about 12 inches long and meant to "straigthen" your hair. You sandwich your hair between two velcro strips and let it dry. Never worked for me but I may cut them up and use them to hold my bangs back!

[MandaMarieeee]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU! I ordered mine from that ebay seller. Amaazing. Even gave me an extra one, which I'm giving to my mom.

You are fantastic. <3

[eugie73]

I can't thank you enough for showing this thing. I just got a pair from ebay. I glued both pieces to a hat that my daughter will wear in a dance show. Hope it will work awesome holding the hat in place. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[RAWRimmavampire]

You have like a goregeous natural beauty thing goin on in this video

[kinzythefreak]

DEAR GOD.

I thought "what's that thing on your head?" was like some facial deformity you apparently had. I've never noticed ANYTHING wrong with you face. So I'm like GOD WHAT HAPPENED?! Then you're all like "well this velcrow thing" I'm just like, GOOD SHE'S OKAY!

[nikiebeth95]

Hey Cora! I love your videos so much. I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on the british singer Adele's make up. I think her make up is always so pretty and i want to try that style out. So could you take a whirl on it please?

[2amaretto]

I love the pink colors you dye your hair...out of curiosity what do you do or use to prevent your hair from breaking off? I dye my hair a lot as well and it's finally had enough

[maclovesmac14]

"For all I know they could be Jabba the hut" Ahhh, love you! You have great tutorials and make me laugh while watching them... It's the best of both worlds :D

[OhDianaCanScream]

This is gonna sound stupid but those glasses aren't prescription right? They're for show?

[jasy1981aus]

your hair looks great are you growing it out as it looks cool that length longer then normally!

[LoDancer666]

hahaha, I always wondered that too

[oxjuliaaaxo]

Would you mind sharing what brand of pink you use? My hair will lift to an 8, but it's strawberry blonde. I'm thinking of going cotton candy pink. But I know when I get it done with PM on my last day of school, Ink Works won't last. I'm leaning towards Pravana, but I like how vibrant yours is. Just curious as to what you use.

[cellomama92]

Thank you thank you thank you for the link. I always use my glasses to hold my hair back, and they slip and hair still gets in my face when I'm doing make up, and it's especially hard since I have a heavy bang. And I hate going through the effort of doing my hair, then messing it up from head bands stuff. Thanks again Cora! You're a genius and gorgeous!

[heatherkelley1]

I have been wanting these for awhile now. Thanks!!

[kkaylanbby]

do they ever make you're hair staticy or fly-away?

[itsL0L0Babyy]

those glasses are sooo GREASE <3

[parasitegod]

Do you remember that Kelly song, Let Me Borrow That Top? Well, pretend I'm Kelly and your top is That Top.

...From what I can see of it, anyway haha

[vintageortacky]

@parasitegod lol! I just watched that video the other day! I love Kelly! I got it from fashiontofigure (dot) com

[kimberly1904]

do u know if it causes breakage at all though?

[vintageortacky]

@kimberly1904 I don't believe so, no more than a hair brush.

[kimberly1904]

good to know! i might pick one up. thanks!

[Klalalaverne]

Dear Cora, How did you start in makeup? Was it something you learned from your mom(older sister, cousin, friends,etc.) or did you just learn on your own?

[stachelbeere91]

I always wanted to ask you what that "thing" is, but I didn't know how to describe it xD so i didn't ask^^

[thatZEBRAchick]

they make really cute bow ones ingred/missglamarozzi or w/e has them

[xwtfisftwx]

I just came to the realization that your name means quarter in Spanish.

[Binky130]

Um. The "sexy librarian" cat-eye glasses with the rhinestones on the corners were missing from this episode of Ask Cora. Not that I thought you looked super hot in them in the other vid or anything. *ahem* :)

[vintageortacky]

@Binky130 lol. Actually they are there when I ask the question :) Nice to know they are appreciated though!

[Binky130]

@vintageortacky AHHH! lol They totally *are*! That's what I get for working on bill-paying (BOOOOO! hahaha) while watching youtube videos. Multi-tasking has its limits I guess! :)

[zmood45]

they sell ones like these that are bow shaped i've seen it on some asian girls here on youtube

[SwimmingInTheSeas]

How do you keep the pink in your hair so vibrant?

[Rezzersful]

Would you mind doing a tutorial on how you straighten your hair? I have the same exact length as you, but when I straighten my hair it sticks out every which way because it's so thin. Any advice for me?

[vintageortacky]

@Rezzersful Sorry babe, I naturally straight hair :(

[artax99]

@Rezzersful after you straighten it, take some pomeade and warm it between your hands and run it through the ends. if that leaves your hair too gross (sometimes if you're natrually oily, it'll be gross) you can try Aussie's Sydney Smooth hairspray and use it on dry hair, instead of before styling like it says.

[rawr81itssarah]

that thing is so awesome!

[LaMaddy69]

i think you're the only person i've seen that can actually rock purple hair...

[BrittanySpencerVIB]

Ha. It could be Jabba the Hutt. You're funny.

Ps. I love your reading glasses.

[ChingysGurl928]

i totally thought you just cut a velcro hair roller to hold it back haha, i was like wow she's so innovative! =]

[vintageortacky]

@ChingysGurl928 nope it just sort of feel into my lap :)

[martinadawn1]

@ChingysGurl928 Actually, that's what I did. Velco rollers have a velcro "cover" around the plastic. You can slip it off, cut it....EXACT same thing. I just had some of those really big pink ones lying around. Voila!

[MsSweetSouthernBelle]

your eyes really pop today

[nktaunk]

They have bow shaped ones too...uber cute

[zombiesbride]

i have a ?when u die your hair does ur hair fall out cuz mine does like when i wash it and brush it out

[zombiesbride]

lol i actually seen a lady at walmart wearin that on her head casher and i woundered did she forget to tak it off lol

[BREEBRIYO]

i thought u were going to talk about ur wondelful out of this world hair color!! its like ur hair looks great with ur eyeshadows or ur eyeshadows with your hair i dont know but u always look like a barbie doll!!

[xxxanity]

Thanks for making this finally, every single time I'd watch one of your videos I'd be like "SHE'S WEARING IT AGAIN. WHAT IS IT??" And your shirt looks hella cute from what I can see of it, by the way.

[hakeber138]

will they work if you have REALLY think hair?

[rainbowluvmyria]

What ever floats your boat honey LOL You're so cute!

[TattooBeautiful]

"For all I know they could be Jabba the Hutt" Omfg, I laughed so hard I snorted! I love your face, lol

[OMFGeLLii]

Haha finally. Thank you! I ordered 2 sets, I hate having to put my hair up with clips or pins..or a headband to put on my makeup.. or even washing my face.

[webdivauk]

They are really handy thing. I received some free after making a order for nail stuffs from ebay but had no idea what they were called so I could order some. Now I can thanks to you :)

[ArvallParrot]

QUESTION! I Have Lyme Disease And Malaria Which Leaves My Skin Is Very Dull And Sickly Looking. Is There A Product You Could Recommend That Would Help MY Skin Become Brighter?

[terasugi]

Soooooooooooo cool! Thanks for sharing! I love your videos!!!!

[MissSkeletor]

Mama like! Thanks Cora :)

[MakeupDivasTv]

You can get them in little bow shapes too

[ndngurl12899]

My sister-in-law is a hairstylist and she uses those velcro things also - I never asked her what they were LOL so thank you for the explanation :)

[xevilsuziex]

That's funny, I've been using the rough side of 2" velcro tape for this purpose for years! I peel the backing off to reveal the sticky part and add ribbon or wrapping paper to make them pretty.

[lyc527]

I received one of these from an ebay seller as a free gift when I bought the 88 matte palette, I think a year or so ago. I love it and my girlfriend always laughs at me when she's sees me at my vanity with it in my hair while I am putting my makeup on.

[luckeycharm73]

Wear do you get the color that you put in your hair!



[Kawea]

i actually made a bootleg version of this....I just took cheap velcro rollers and cut the velcro off. I rolled it the opposite way to get the curve out. I use it to keep my bangs straight after I just flat ironed them

[LexiNBoys]

I adore you, Cora! You are just the cutest!

[soeth23]

I bought some a few weeks ago because of you! I always have to pin my hair back and then restyle because of the marks. Thanks, girl! :) 

[iluvmusic375]

That's a great product; thanks for sharing :)

[LittleMissKaity]

Thank you! This has been driving me crazy ;)

[sassysmart75]

I definitely want to buy makeup and hair products from Jabba the Hut! :D

[pinkfairygrl1029]

Ok, I must be oblivious. I never even noticed that thing on your head!

[hellokittystare]

I love mine! Ordered them from imomoko. Com.

[XxNachtxNachtxX]

It is Jaba The Hut.

[msmadamemakeup]

lol, great idea huh.

[GiftOfGlamour]

i heart you and your videos XD

[amber559]

cora, what color dyes do you use on your hair?

[jennyrw2332]

Hi! I really, really Love your Glasses!!!

Where did u buy 'em? ^_^

Thx!!!

[Sn00kyCr00ksWorld]

Just buy a roll of velcro for $1 ? Save like #7

[NIKKIselma]

I've seen these mostly on Asian makeup gurus' videos. Always wondered what they were and now I know :) cool vid!

[MenezesMarta1]

This is so good for makeup time and when I wash my face.

I buy on ebay ( really cheap and free shipping!), but I buy a velcro bow.

Black to white dots. Very cute.

They have red with withe dots, pink with white dots also.

Very eficient and girly.

Xoxo from Brasil

[GypsyRoads74]

cora i am stoked again to have another video this week....the velcro thing is a great idea must use it on my god daughter...thanks hope to see more soon

[LizzieLiz16]

I luv your hair!

[hotpeachjuicy]

Thanks

[Vindicated15]

I'd get those things and wear them out in public. What an awesome conversation starter that would be!

[stayckay]

asian beauty supply stores carry these too! i have some that are shaped like hairbows. i got mine in taiwan, but i have seen them in asain markets :)

[jennyijaey]

Jabba the Hut? LOL

[quickie247]

Haha at first I thought I was missing something, like you had some weird spot or deformity I missed....then I was like oh that....well I knew what that was

[gloriatg100]

I would say episode.

[kerstanb]

I bought some in an Asian market. They have them in a ton of different patterns if that helps anyone.

[kidscodac]

Lol when i saw the video title, I was like it's her hair duuhh!

[STARBALL00N]

Dear Cora, will you do my make up every morning? : )

[akanne1]

Cora, I don't want to sound annoying, but Where's Bea? :) I've been waiting for her to teach us some picking up techniques. I've been going to the bar and can't catch a thing. I need Bea :)

[twistedheartsx]

wow. if someone handed me that, let alone wanted me to BUY it, i'd tell them they're an idiot.. but that's actually a genius idea, haha.

[GiGgLeZ951]

IDK WHO HAD ONE ON YOUTUBE THAT IT WAS A BOW BUT IN THIS METERIAL

[supersaige]

i still when i read Ask cora out loud get Ass Cora lolz

either way i love your videos n now i wanna order these!

[kayciannap]

I know this is totally irrelevant to this video. Buuut my boyfriend named my heart Kora (I know totally cheesy but yeah we named each others hearts. Don't judge me.lol) He was going to name it Cora as in corazon. He thought it appropriate to change the C to a K though since my name starts with a K. Since your name's Cora you made me think of it and I thought I'd tell ya. lol :)

[vintageortacky]

@kayciannap That's an adorable story!

[TheJewellsparkle]

Haha could be Jabba the hut!!

[rhythmspiral]

YESSSSSSS I ALWAYS WONDER!

[kalpal040507]

[barbiedlux]

[MuslimaInMakeup]

[babyv2992010]

These are big in the Asian community! U should look in Asian stores and you are sure to find some! I've seen some in cute designs like bows, hello kitty, and stuff like that :)

[Dottilicious]

@babyv2992010 I have a red bow one with polkadots :D Hehehe I love that thing so much ;)

[UniqueFang11]

why wouldnt you just buy a roll of velcro at a hardware store? :S

[vintageortacky]

@animalface327 HI. That's me.

[BeautyAtAnySize10]

"for all i know they could be jabba the hut"....... lmao

[namastebeauty]

[tiffanypendleton]

Ahhhh you look so freakin' pretty in this video :)

[jellayfishay]

can you do tutorials on models with different eye shapes and creases? ex. almond-shaped eyes with a monolid, small crease.. blah blah. =D

[cancankant]

LMAO... Thank you for a picture in my mind of Jabba the Hut as an eBay seller. :-)

[julianaishere]

Man, I really wanna ask Cora something but I can't think what to ask. My life is hard.

[vintageortacky]

@julianaishere lmao!

[jackofalltrades82]

where did you get those glasses?

[BigVBeauty]

I was gonna ask what that is. haha

[blackwidowmollie]

LOL...nice vid. I tried one of these awhile ago but my hair is SO long and thick and heavy, (waist length dense waves) it didnt work the greatest on me. If my hair was cut to chin length still though, id use them.

[olives1976]

You are so fun to watch!!!

[classyass]

Are you going to do anymore fashion videos?

[AllSmiles006]

Baahaaa..Jabba the Hut!

[SeLAnDDeMiFaN33]

Cora- you need to do a video about your experiences with piercings and whatnot.. :)

[pinkpenny32]

cool I think your hair color is so cute

[CristiSomething]

CORA YOU CAN MAKE THOSE lol if you take the velcro off of your velcro rollers it works just the same. thats what i did.

[glamtownvintage]

OMG where did you get those glasses? Must have some! :)

@BurtsBeesLover that can still affect your hairstyle/ if you have a headache or something :). Do whatever works for you

[BurtsBeesLover]

@vintageortacky Ahhhh you replied!! and oh thats true haha thanks for introducing this product to us!

[Paradigm715]

They're called Fringe Grips :)

[UnionBlues]

I've seen them at sally's and at Chinese dollar stores.

[BalmaholicTV]

That's pretty handy! 

[ironbith]

wow, never seen those before!

[Wackedduckie09]

Did you have any problems when you got your industrial pierced? I've been watching your videos for at least a year now, and just noticed it. lol.

[vintageortacky]

@Wackedduckie09 I pierced it maybe 6 years ago, so I don't remember the details, but yeah it hurt, piercings hurt :) Pain is subjective, some would say it hurts terribly, others would say it feels like a pinch :)

[IFireandIce]

@Wackedduckie09 I got mine done in Jan and it still hurts all the time. Lol

[Peke85gatita]

so is like regular velkcro??

[vintageortacky]

@Peke85gatita Yeah it's pretty much like the teeth side of Velcro

[TheRealJaci29]

@vintageortacky Are you good with hairstyles? I have long light brown kinda curly hair and I want something different. I am considering side-swept bangs but i just don't know. Any ideas?? From anyone!

[pLaSTiCSlUmBeRpArTy]

JABBA THE HUTTTT. Hahaha I loved your videos to begin with, and now I love them even more because you made a Star Wars reference.

And I really like your hair. A lot.

[stefania825]

[goofycatt]

[MariaAdelina]

[mswhitediamonds]

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS

[thelovelybandgeek]

Gosh you are SO pretty!

[IAmInLoveWithEdwardC]

That's genius!!! :)

[NoNameCliqueClang]

im not trying to be mean in anyway! but i was wondering if you will ever fix your teeth.. my mom and dad are both orthodontists and i dont know where you live but i have connections if you ever want to consider it :)) i love you!!!

[RoofieOnTheRocks]

@NoNameCliqueClang ... I sincerely can't tell what is wrong with her teeth. They look completely fine to me...

[StaciiVenganza]

wow went to her ebay account the makeup she sells is really cheap.. bad quality?

[vintageortacky]

@StaciiVenganza I'm not a fan, but other people seem to like it.

[ep3074]

I made my own by just cutting the velcro off of one of my wide velcro rollers. It's the exact same, I saw it on a blog somewhere...they work great!

-Liz

[vintageortacky]

@ep3074 Rock on!

[stefania825]

@ep3074 Thanks for the tip!!! I'm definitely trying that since I don't even use the velcro rollers i have!!!

[snowbunnygaelach]

@ep3074 Omg I just did this and I LOVE YOU!! thank you so much for the tip, it works perfectly!!!

[xxurplaymatexx]

@ep3074 heyyy!! i did the same thing evenn before this thing came out! its cheaper than buyin it from sellers when you can get 6 for $1 at the dollar store
