 hello beautiful. do you ever just wake up in the morning and think i want to do some renaissance hair? hi um so i'm over here editing this video right now i realized something i say renaissance instead of victorian during this video i apologize this video is about victorian era walk me up and put me in a jail cell um i didn't pay attention in history it's victorian it's not the renaissance okay so next time i won't **** that up but this time just ignore every single time i say renaissance and replace with victorian all right thank you i woke up this morning and was like the renaissance is calling my name actually though i get recommended a lot of renaissance themed videos on youtube and tiktok there must be something going on with my algorithm that's telling me brad this is for you and you're gonna like it and in fact i do like it so i started looking up some images and realized this **** is complicated the stuff that they do to their hair in this time period was magnificent they look statuesque like this and this and this and this i've been trying to dissect these looks for the last day some of them i just like can't even figure out what is going on because the pictures are pixelated you don't see a ton of detail so i'm gonna give it my best shot doing these looks but i know that i'm going to end up crying it could go well it could go really bad but i'm hoping it's somewhere in between i guess now i have to actually do the hair what a random video let's do it okay so i got my computer here and let's pull up some looks and let's just decide what i'm doing today first of all so i have this first one i understand what's going on here a little bit i don't know what that fuzzy **** is in the front of her hair this one looks much more doable um she definitely has some cute little bangs they all have those like sideburns going on like i don't really know why um then she has this braid that kind of wraps around her head let me have this which looks the most doable i think however still looks extremely difficult these curls girl whoo she said give me the i don't know what's going on at the top of her head i think there's just like braids like wrapped around up top i don't know can't figure this one out don't want to do it this one looks the simplest she looks gorgeous and also the choker like give me that this one she's not really pulling it off very well but i'm into it and that has to be like a hairpiece extension thing going on that big loaf of bread going around her head at the top i think i want to try this this looks like a three day old like hair that needed to be redone but she had a photo shoot that day and she just had to do it and she just didn't have time to do her hair like something happened with this one i feel bad for this girl this is not your luck sweetie no no girl i think what i'm going to start with today is something that i feel the most confident in this photo now we have a braid going on i don't have hair that's that long but i'm going to do something similar to this i like the little bump it going on in the front and then the buns going on i feel like i can accomplish this hello miss many quenos so i don't exactly have a mannequin that has like darker hair but you're gonna get over it um because i'm already over it uh usually people back then they didn't f*** with hair like this we're gonna do it and you're gonna ignore the fact that her hair is bright blonde that sound good it's good okay cool so this is your look over here miss miss many quen what you hate it that sucks we're doing it anyways don't care what you have to say i've told you that before and i'll tell you it again so her hair doesn't look curly like in that picture and i'm feeling like they used her natural texture to kind of form these croissants if you will within her head and kind of just did something like that and pinned it but her hair needs to be smoothed out so i think i'm just gonna smooth out her do a little bit of round brushing and i'll be right back okay blow out complete so where do i begin okay let's dissect this thing my brain isn't working today the plan is brewing and i'm getting the sensation that i need to put her hair up into multiple point tails i think okay we need to put the hair up obviously but we need some volume in the front so what i'm going to do is section out a little bit up here like a little triangle like that i think that's is that even okay so we're gonna section that out and i'm gonna pull the rest of the hair back and we're gonna tease the f*** out of this and we're gonna create this little bump up here i once i get to the front i don't think i'm gonna tease that part that way we have a little bit of hair to lay over this so it doesn't look ugly and like i'll not it and i'm starting to see the vision come alive already and i'm only on the first step we're gonna give it a little bit of separation because that is what our model has okay now i'm going to section the hair out behind the ears and pull this hair back i'm just trying to like perfect this little bump it moment going on here okay i just f*** it up i'm only on step two miss manny quinn you can't let me down now listen if i can do this today y'all need to stop telling me i'm not a real hairdresser we're gonna do another little ponytail right here that looks good enough you know what today's all about the phrase good enough okay i'm gonna live by that f*** today we would now sort of take the hair and do some rapidos around my fingers this would be easier if i just curled the hair but i don't want to curl the hair it's just adding an extra step and i don't want to do this all night long i think i should curl it what i created is not the reference photo so i have to redo it i am sweating very badly right now because when i film i cannot have the air conditioning on it's too loud and just like that all my work is gone removing the jacket guys i can't oh hey so i had a mental breakdown and i don't want to talk about it so here's what we have so far i decided to go for a little bit more of an interpretation this is really f***ing hard um i don't know if i like it uh this is a lot it's really hard to tell what the f*** is going on with her hair too based off of one photograph from the side of her head we're doing our best my perfectionism is getting to me it's proving to be just as difficult if not more difficult than i thought it was going to be it's really horrifying how hard it is but i've learned something throughout this process so far and that is that these looks need a lot of teasing because they are like built up on themselves they need to have a very um a good structure inside in order to start stacking the s*** but like we're getting something like my girl here could have lived back then and like got away with it you know we could like put her in a little time machine and she could be pooped out and i feel like people wouldn't look twice at her or they would and they'd be like girl who's your hair teller maybe like Ramondo i'm just leaving these little curly cues out um also this s*** in this picture um she also had beautiful flowers going on in her hair and i don't have flowers and i honestly feel like those flowers were covering up a lot of like the ugliness i don't know it just looked too perfect so yeah i'm teasing the underneath of the hair and then i'm just wrapping it around my finger and kind of just making like these buns i think these are gonna be my last buns down here until i go into this like braided moment these structures they definitely like spent most of the time just like teasing the hair because what i'm realizing is that they didn't have extensions back then so i don't know where all that hair was coming from um because it looks like a ton of hair but i'm pretty sure they just teased the s*** out of their heads to make it look like these women had like so much hair so what i'm gonna do is take the rest of this hair and do that sort of like twisty twists that you see on the bottom of this woman so i'm just gonna tease this hair like a ton and then i'm just gonna brush it out really get that hair looking like it's full as s*** and then maybe we're just gonna leave that teasing in there a bit all right that we have that really thick looking hair going on and then we'll do the same thing to the other side and if you're wondering if i've lost my mind completely the answer is always yes now it almost looks like her hair is pinned up back there as well okay and then we're gonna take our two pieces and it looks like it's just really like loosely um twisted and we'll just give it a little back comb at the bottom so it stays okay here it is the final look honestly let's talk about this because i'm proud of it like i feel like she could get away with this like if she what girl i know your drum but likes it up i feel like if she was teleported back in time the Victorian era she would fit in and people would not look twice or they would in like the best way possible like i feel like she looks and i feel like it's cute it's giving me a little early 2000s with the bump it in the front but other than that it's kind of nice this is really out of my comfort zone like i love loose undone punky looking stuff so doing something like this with no hair extensions or anything like it was a lot for me i'm gonna be honest but i'm kind of satisfied with the look that has been created even though i lost my mind if i had flowers put in this like i imagine it would bring the look all together i'm sad to see this masterpiece go but i think it's time to try one more look and hopefully i can do it a little bit better this time okay we're gonna do another Victorian updo i've completely lost my mind and i want it back like can you give my brain back like give it to me so now you already know that i've already lost my mind what we're gonna do is something that's gonna make me lose my mind even more okay at first glance you're probably thinking brad this looks easier let me explain to you why it's harder what the f*** is going on in this photo and how am i supposed to recreate it because i have literally no idea what's going on is it a bird's nest or is it an updo i don't know so for me being a very much perfectionist there is nothing perfect about this updo and there's really no structure or anything really going on so trying to um do something that looks similar to that is going to be nearly impossible this is going to come up bad like i want to make it known to everybody that this is not gonna look good i don't know i don't know i don't know okay i literally don't know i feel like she has this sort of like nest up here so i'm gonna start there and we're gonna go in and we're gonna tease because that helps everything in the in this um Victorian hairstyling moment we're doing today okay so it seems like she has this really large like bun you know like something like that in the middle of this hairdo if i can just like bust this out right now that's it that's it like i would be so happy so now i think what she has is like a sort of braid moment going around her head yeah there it is it's giving me prom 2010 right now you know i feel like people weren't doing braids like this though like why does mine look like too current oh that's kind of fun we can pin that right up here i'm just like let's let's have fun with this i just want it to look good what do i do here i lifted the hair up okay if you say so i'm gonna do the same thing on the other side oh my god okay we have a little structure going on a little sun in now we have these pieces here that i don't really know what i was planning on doing with i feel like they would do something like that i'm going on my own at this point okay we're gonna tease the out of this hair and i'm just gonna wrap this around my fingers and we're gonna pin it into place back here also i'm trying to give it that like messy feel oh that looks victorian ah wait why is this like low-key fun though just wait this is gonna get way more victorian as i go so i can't tell at this point if this is victorian or i've just lost my mind i think it's the second one but we're just gonna go with it okay i'm gonna now like pin this here because that's what they did like they did like that i think i mean damn girl i'm going to curl the back of her hair and hope for the best i'm kind of getting something here so i'm gonna continue to do this and voila here it is well nobody sees that anyways right like it's fine she really posing like this i feel like if she were taking a photo and like you have to admit that looks victorian come on give me a little credit here come on like from the back this is how it looked like it was messy it wasn't perfect and i definitely feel like they all had these like weird curls in the front like she has right now this actually like ended up being really fun it gives me that feeling that that picture gave me which was that kind of like messy but refined feel i don't know i'm giving it my best even like one side we could do ooh yeah like imagine this is my second look and my second attempt at victorian hair and i feel like this one is giving me serious victorian energy i'm into it though you look thick girl hope you like your hair for your um victorian party tonight what you're not going to victorian party oh well that sucks you're gonna take it out yourself okay i'll see you later my mental health has rapidly declined since the beginning of this video i will be honest with you but i feel a sort of i'm just gonna say happiness i don't really feel that happy i actually just feel like that was a lot for me i don't think i was supposed to live in the victorian era so i'm gonna stay here y'all can do whatever you want over there because that was hard it was low-key like fun though it also like help with my creativity flow i feel inspired a
