Back to Basics: Classic Victory Rolls

[IRISistibleMakeup]

you're goooooooooooooorgeous!!!!!!!!!­!!

[ArianaGrande1Fan]

Does this work with long hair, too???

[Elleinlincoln]

Love your videos!

[aliyahrae14]

i love your personality and style we could so be best friends :)

[Deadlove4you]

Ur videos are awesome!

[TheMacxMiss]

This tutorial was the best one I've found, I'm really into Vintage and Pin up so thankyou very much!

[luvdin]

My hair is all long and one length. It makes this almost impossible. I can't do it and I can't afford to have a stylist do it for me every day. Fail.

[iwtlhs112]

very cute!

[uddoss]

i have no idea what's going on here..but u look like a girl from another time..did u learn all this from your grandgrandma? but i have to admit your hairstyles..your old fashon dresses and you are very pretty..

[scryingt]

You have the pefect start to one in this video. What were called french rolls in the past are now called petal curls, which is the exact style you do here, only petal curls lay flatter, similar to pin-curls, as you know! Hope you try it out! Thanks for your videos!

[scryingt]

I like you videos! You do a beautiful job with your finishing techniques and pinning. You have the perfect light touch. I just want to offer information about victory rolls. The orignal Victory roll has all the the hair styled into two french rolls on each side of the head joining to form a clean point at the nape forming a large "V" shape, hence it's name.

[xGunMoll]

How can I do a victory roll for the bangs for someone with bangs such I myself?

My bangs are at the level of the tip of my nose.

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

@xGunMoll Use a bit of hair just past the bangs along WITH the bangs to help build volume and length to work with. I suggest using a little product to grip the two lengths together and just carefully roll it up. You might have stray hairs come down, but carefully blend the strays back into the victory roll and spray with hair-spray. It takes a nit of patience, but you can do it :)

[xGunMoll]

@StrawberryKoiVintage Thank you very much(: And I really love your videos, keep up the great work you're doing here :D

[americanmusicc]

this isnt a very good victory roll.

[jaybee2425460]

like at 1:25 when you start to part your hair, i can't do that because my hair pins dont stay

[jaybee2425460]

i hate my wavy thick hair, i cant do anything with it. =-/

[SantoMuerte187]

I love my curls :D

[crashmuppet]

I love your top! Very cute. I just wanted to say Your vids are really helpful. And you have amazing cheekbones! Very jealous hehe.

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

@crashmuppet Awe! Thank you so much :)

[SimplyySky]

Thank you so much for all these videos, I love doing these hairstyles for school they make me really stand out against the crowd.

[trexforpresident]

Thank you for making everything so simple to understand!

[contagiouslulaby]

could you do this hairstyle after you brush out pin curls?

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

@contagiouslulaby Oh yes, definitely :)

[charrycharry]

i want your dimples to go with my victory rolls >.< :)

[ILuveMusic101]

awsome video and i love your dress/shirt:)

[LetsGetPlastic]

i've been growing out my bangs for a while now, they're about level with my lips now. My hair is also much thicker than yours. Do I need to grow my hair out longer still?

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

@LetsGetPlastic I dunno, my hair is pretty thick! lol! At lip level, you have a good chance at being able to do it... you just might have to fiddle with it a bit. Give it a try, I think there's good possibility :)

[amandaraesays]

Thanks! I love your videos!

[rashay114]

I love this style and love vinatge hair styles. I havent watched a lot of your videos, so im not sure if you have done this or not... but have you done like a vintaged curled hair video..? I dont know if you will know what i mean.. but its kinda like how your hair is curled now. Did you use rollers or a curling iron?

[vdag94]

I love how you always wear an outfit to fit the hairstyle you're doing.

[RomanticConfections]

This reminds me of the styles my mother and grandmother wore! You make it look so easy and with a bit of practice I have discovered that it is!

[polkadotpolka123]

do you have to have a certain length of hair for this? i've tried this before, but i have really quite long hair, and it didn't really work...

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

@polkadotpolka123 I don't think you need a *certain* length, but I think chin-shoulder length hair makes it a little easier! I've seen gals with super long hair just twist the hair at the base and pin in place, allowing the rest of the hair to just drape behind the victory-roll, you might want to try that :)

[polkadotpolka123]

@StrawberryKoiVintage my dad's friend, Lisa, is a hairdresser and she did my hair in amazing victory rolls! I might post a slideshow of it!

[beauanderos]

just what i was looking for! although i love all your vids! keep it up! =)

[tickamacar]

your hair is greasy

[yocorrocontrajeras]

@tickamacar i didn't know you could feel her hair through the computer

[JessKoeh88]

When I tried this out, I found that mine was really frizzy. Any tips?

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

@JessKoeh88 Some anti frizz syrum, a little gel or hairspray and lightly combed after the whole styling process :)

[UsulOngaku]

I love all the things you post on your blog and such and now I found you have a youtube channel too. man I am totally behind. Thing is though. . this is more of a pompadour rather than victory roll. Victory rolls specifically created a V for victory . . one on each side of the head. I have a couple Victory Roll style tutorials to show. Anyway this was the first of yours I saw and now I'm going to browse a bit!!!! +Victoria+

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Pompadours are much fuller and tend to be more at the bang area... I think everyone has a different perception of the terms, but nothing is too "fixed" to refer to :)

Thank you doll, for all of your support and following my blog and videos! Love ya!

[KristieHerself]

Aaah this has been the most helpful victory video yet :) thankyou x - subscribe-

[roxilou]

I love all of your videos, so I've decided to subscribe!! However my hair is the most disobedient hair in the world and whatever I try it refuses to do it. It'll do things by accident though, just to frustrate me!!

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

That can be rough! Sometimes my hair is the same way!

Thank you so much for subscribing, by the way!!! :D

[roxilou]

You're welcome! The videos are great to watch, even if my hair disobeys me =D

[mellyander85]

I just found your videos the other day and i can't stop watching them! You'r so adorable and you're tips are sooo good! I'm STILL trying to get the hang of the victory roll but i'm determind to get it right! Thank you! Consider me a fan! <3

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Awe, thank you so much! I'm honored ^__^

[tryena]

I have tried watching many different videos to learn victory rolls, but this is the first one that actually taught me how. Thanks so much!! You're great!

[thatgirlgidget]

Thanks again Aya! I credit you with getting me started with the vintage styles. I have had a lot more practice now, but love watching your videos for reminders. I aways seem to pick up something new. You really are the best. Keep up the good work! :0)

[rubypoodlez]

you are fantastic! i'm going to be starting cosmetology school, and am trying to get an edge on my classmates (and well i love glamourous ladies too) you are such a jem and have so much to share. keep it up, you inspire us!

[xxinfectedgirlxx]

You are my fav person on YT, your style is so classy. I tried to victory rolls today and they came out all wonky though :(

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you so much! What an honor :)))

Oh, sometimes victory rolls can be a hassle :( Did you curl your hair prior to doing them? I know that's a small thing that helps me...

[cita19]

awsome awsome...

[salexadecv]

:) Helpful! Did someone knock around 2:40? Ha ha ha.

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

haha, yeah, my husband was harrassing me! :))

[traceyishh]

I just found your videos.  I am you NEW #1 fan!!!

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Awe, thank you!! :D

[blindedbyduck]

Beautiful and so much easier than I had thought. Im trying this the next time go out.

[PurpleRainbow6]

I absolutely love these curls! Thank you so much! Do you wear vintage hairstyles on a daily basis, or no? I don't know if I'd have the guts.

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you, dear! It's a bit half and half.. Sometimes I am a little lazy and just go with my natural straight hair, but even when I do wear my vintage hairstyles, I stick with the simpler styles just like brushed out pin curls with a "peek-a-boo" wave or a victory roll :)

[PurpleRainbow6]

Do people ever comment on the victory rolls? And do you ever feel self-conscience? You have a lot of guts. It's so gorgeous, but it's also old fashioned. And not what people are used to seeing.

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

With a simple victory roll, I get a little attention, but nothing severe. I suppose I usually mix extreme elements with non-extreme elements to balance my ensembles? Such as, if my hair is quite unique, I mix it with a laid back outfit and visa versa. I also try to hold myself with confidence, because I truly believe people base their impression of you according to your confidence level :) But so far, no one has ever criticized my looks, although I am quite sure it's not everyone's "cup of tea".

[PurpleRainbow6]

I'd imagine it's not everyone's cup of tea. But I think it's absolutely gorgeous. It's a shame hairstyles like this aren't more common anymore. I think girls from way back then are so much prettier then today's ladies -- my sister said it's probably because they're more put together, more well groomed. The victory curl is the perfect example of that I think.

[robynbirde]

Wow, I feel like I've stumbled onto a goldmine with your videos! I really love vintage hairstyles and fashions, but never know how to achieve the look. I found your channel just looking for the popular heidi braid, but you have so many pretty tutorials!

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

That's great! Thanks you so much :D

[KtotheY77]

you have great clothes as well as great hair!

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you!

[Deadbolt187]

I wore this look today and got so many compliments! Thanks so much!

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

That's wonderful! I'm so glad :)

[nowonderitsneverland]

YAY!!

You have no idea how excited I am about this. lol I've been looking for some unique hairstyles for school.

Thank you :)

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Great! I bet you'll stand out with all of today's boring styles :D

[xamethystxmoonx]

I always love your tutorials, but I'm really struggling with victory rolls working on my hair! It's curly/wavy and slightly shorter at the front on both sides - but the main problem I have is that I can never seem to be able to do any rolls other than pomp/faux fringe-type ones - where am I going wrong? Any tips? Thanks lovely! x

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

I think it's mainly just awkward at first... and there are days I have trouble too, and just give up that particular day. Maybe try a different angle to refresh your skills? I bet you are doing just fine :)

[biclvr]

Wow!!! You look soo good. You have a very cool style and you are pretty and very feminine. Ad to that a pair of excellent shaped biceps. What do you do to get those? You could do a bicep tutorial. And maybe flex your nice muscles for us once.

Anyhow you are the perfect combo. Pretty feminine retro girl, and on the other hand fit and totaly up to date.

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you... I think I've just always have not necessarily prominent muscles, but rather defined ones. My back and legs are the same way... I don't really work out, but being a mother I am active.

[biclvr]

You lucky bas...d ;)

You do know that people pay alot of money and time to get looks like you.

Pls maybe a little flex just for fun ;)

[Antony777777]

No, just read at her profile.

FAQ

Q: Can you make a Flexing video?

A: I'm sorry to decline, but it doesn't associate with my channel... I'm also very shy on the subject, so I don't think I will be making any flexing videos at this time.

obviously a lot of people noticed and asked.

I'm also a great fan of Aya and would love to see a flexing video

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

haha, thank you dear :)

[Janneinwonderland]

Yaaaaay! You're back! ^^

I love this tut and the victory roll! Must be my favourite vintage hairstyle ever! :)

Can you do them with bangs too? I tried it but it didn't work too well... ^^

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you!

Erm... bangs do seem very difficult, and being able to do victory rolls are the only thing that has kept me from cutting my bangs! If I ever do cut my bangs, I would experiment with product and backcombing to make victory rolls... I have seen it done, but it looks hard!

[germangirl4017]

It's lovely to see you back!! Gorgeous hair like always!!

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you! ^-^

[ScarlettKingsbury]

i loved this, i know youve already done a tutorial on it but could you do another titanic hairstyle?

:D

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you! I think I can work on that :)

[ginlovesmakeup]

love your tutorials. I need to get better at doing my hair. =/

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Practice makes perfect... I am sure you are doing a great job :)

[springm93]

i love the picture in the begining of the vid :) and the ones at the end too :) such a beautiful field of flowers!!

[ginersnaps1]

I like your hair CLASSIC

[AllYouNeedIsLove313]

Thanks! Definitely will do. :)

[AllYouNeedIsLove313]

Lovely tutorial. :)

Do you know how to do victory rolls and such with curly hair? My hair is crazy curly and I can't seem to make any vintage hairstyles work with it. :/ Should I just straighten it and try the hairstyles?

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you!

That sounds tricky! I would definitely experiment. Try pin curls... because you sleep in them, they will control your natural curl. Try straightening as well, like you said, just so you can learn what's best for you :)

[LisaFreemontStreet]

Gorgeous as always...nice to see you back in action! And yes, your arms are very toned. haha.

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

haha! =@_@= Thank you, dear!

[luvsbuffgurls]

totally beautiful, classical, and fit too. wow, love those nice shapely well toned arms. thanks for proving that women can be pretty, sexi and fit!
