1940s Hairstyle: hot roller set

I've had a few questions about how I set my hair with hot rollers for a 40s hairstyle. This video explains a bit how I did it! Please excuse my lack of makeup in the beginning! :p

Can you do a video on how you brush out your hair after the hot rollers to get this look? I've heard that the brush out process is the most important thing when trying to achieve vintage looks, so I don't wanna mess that part up haha.

P.S. I love your videos and blog :)

@funkyfashionfever If you search for "Vintage Hair with Lolita Haze" here on YT, she has a fantastic tutorial on brushing out! (YT won't let me direct link, unfortunately.)

any suggestions on how long to keep the rollers in for us gals with poker straight obnoxious hair?

[elegantlyamused]

@NyxSeraphim I'd recommend clipping them in with some small sectioning/alligator clips (you can buy them by the box at Sally's) to help keep things in while they're cooling! :)

could you also tell me how you did your makeup? along with the hair it looks great!

@thespecialestk2 Unfortunately, I did this video so long ago I don't remember how I did this particular look. You might want to refer to some of my other makeup videos for a general idea of how I do my daily look. :)

what kind of curlers are these? They look like good quality. :)

you're very pretty :)

@oxfordpictionary I just put them in somewhat haphazardly, although I am sure to keep a side part in place the entire time. Smaller rollers towards the front/face and larger ones towards the back.

beautiful - with and without makeup. Thanks for this

That bang tip was very helpful.  Thank you.
