Hi guuuys!!! Hope you don't mind another laid back video while I continue to be stressed about finishing up these cosplays for tomorrroOWWW HAHAA I'm FINE.
I know you said this three years ago but credit where credit is due - this is GOLD.🤣 I shall store it away to hopefully use myself one day soon. Awesome, thank you.
I won't dare to admit that I have remnants of my hair in my bathroom cupboard, trying to collect enough for this kind of hairdo. Your way is both quicker, way less creepy and easier to explain if someone looks inside the cupboard
Yess coming through with the content! Also don't apologize for ''weird'' videos..vintage is inherently weird sometimes (in fact life is inherently weird sometimes)
Living in S Florida, I would be smothered in long hair and adore my pixie 🧚♀️. I do appreciate all my long haired beauties. You ladies can rock it for me. Lol
It might be easier if you just got straight up tights (you could also find red ones to match your hair) to do it so it won't be to short on material. And then you could do a bigger circle and maybe pin it lower on your head as you wanted. But it already looks gorgeous! And I think the full of dry shampoo texture adds to the edwardian vibe. I dress modern-ish but I am tempted to try it :)
Diána Török I was thinking the same thing! Or more specifically, that you could use reject tights with holes or whatever in they’re. Two birds, one Victorian hair style!
Diana - I agree. using actual pantyhose or tights would be so much easier than knee hi's! You'd have a leg length's worth of hose to play with, and play with different lengths for different effects. This was a fun video, loved it
If you still want to use hosiery, try a single thigh high, and only fill it halfway, then twist and wrap it back on itself. The rubber edge will give a good base for pinning it down, too. Did it to make very quick Elizabethan bum roll or two.
I need to make one of these. Edwardian hair is so much easier this way. I have hair down to my butt so I can tease it into shape. However that takes way too much effort and doesn’t always turn out very good. This looks much faster and doesn’t involve completely destroying what thin bodiless hair I have
Love it! Random idea that I literally thought of while watching this, take 2-3 hair bun donuts and cut them open and sew the end together... I think it would already give you the size around that you'd need and then you just make it the length you want it and tada!
@@Bluebelle51 dang I love how you replied to this even though your own comment was 4 years old. hope your vintage journey has brought you heaps of joy in the meantime!
@@azrani2023 I just started trying to hand sew my first corset! (Complete with detail embroidery) It's the last step to fully becoming the Edwardian Hobbit librarian I've always wanted to be
I remember watching "A Room with a View" with my mother, and commenting that Helena Bonham Carter's hair looked too over the top. My mother told me that her grandmother wore hers even bigger! Don't be afraid to go big @Rachel Maksy xx
I heard that rats were originally made by matting your loose hair from your hair brush and that you'd matt it into a shape and the size you desire, plus it matches you hair colour exactly and is free! I'd still recommend stuffing the hair in pantry hose so there's zero risk of it tangling with your attached hair
I was half hoping you'd stuff it with hair you've been collecting off your hairbrush, but I can see why you'd want packaged stuffing instead. this has inspired me to actually start my own hair rat so off I pop! I love these laid back videos, it's like you're in my living room for a spot of tea and it's marvelous.
I’ve been wanting a hair rat, but being the mondo cheepo that I am, I don’t want to buy one. 😂 I’ve been thinking of making one, so thanks for the inspiration, I think I’ll get on that...
@@annafantasia i shed like a dog and brush my hair 3 times a day at minimum so it never takes long for me also u can do yarn or cloth clipings and what also is good is old socks .
I just, freaking love you. It’s as simple as that lol. 😂 I love your personality, I love how funny you are, I love your edits, I love your bloopers, I love how down to earth and sweet you are, I live your content, just, I love everything lol! Thank you for your videos!!
I LOVEEEEE these buns so much. I love them and now I need to make this for my self immediately to make them easier to achieve. I never even though of putting a rat underneath to make it puff more. It’s genius. Thanks Rachel!
i love the edwardian videos. it is definitely one of my favorite time period/fashions that i’ve seen on your channel. and it suits you really well, you look beautiful with the hairstyle
I've made one before for theater. Get thigh-high stockings to have more length to work with. Get fray check from sewing department to use just below where to cut the excess, if you want to reduce bulk. A tip on stuffing, get a standard pillow from Walmart. The cost is usually less than $3, and has the same type and amount of stuffing you'd get in the craft aisle for almost 3 times that amount.
This blouse is to die for, your outfit is so pretty. Maybe looser bangs in the front would help with the look because in some of the Gibson pictures they have all kinds of folds happening in the front and you could like tease a bit of the back for shape? Also I would be interested in seeing if you could dye the rat more of a red color with henna or tea so that you could have our hair a bit looser without worrying about it showing.
You ending up in the candle aisle is literally how I always shop. Just wandering around random aisles that have nothing to do with what I’m actually there for.
Maybe pull the hair of your crown through the rat and knot it. Then roll ( like a victory roll or pin curl) or arrange the hair in front and back around the rat and pin it. Then let out the crown knot and arrange it in a bun or romantic curls/loops/rolls to cover whatever it left. pull out strands, loosen etc.
instead of pantyhose you could use something called "Schlauchverband" in german. Its kind of a tubular bandage that you can get from the farmacy here. There are diverent sizes (for your leg, arm or finger etc...) and its kind of a "never ending tube" that you can cut to the length you need.
This was terrific! I needed a good giggle! My teen son thought I’d lost it!! Very well done. Try using full tights, clip one leg off and fill til the right circumference. Also, you can spray strong hold hairspray lightly from 6 or so inches from the base of sections, let dry, then tease. I’ve been doing the Edwardian front pouf for years (ok, so I’m older than dirt) and have never used rats. But this was terrific!!
Not going to lie, I really did laugh at you stuffing that... And I don't care what your 'ensemble' is lady, because you look MIGHTY FINE! Think I need to go buy myself some more waistcoats....
I love your hair so much at this point it's a distinct character in yout videos djsjskvdsj but this hairstyle looked really good from the front! hopefully you'll be able to walk around in proudly done victorian hair soon 😌😌😌
I wonder if thigh-highs would work... you definitely give the classic Green Gables vibe and I LOVE it!! I'd even suggest using a mesh layer on the outside for pinability without poking holes and causing runs. I don't know if I have enough hair to try this but I sure want to! Thank you so much for posting real experiences complete with challenges! 💜
I am in love with your channel, Rachel. That's all I can say! Soon enough you will get to one million subscribers (and then more). I am a new subscriber myself and now I am binging all your content! You are funny, sweet and talented... Don't ever stop being you! :)
This entire video is glorious. So many laughs. Thank you, though, for teaching me this because I can promise that this is the only way my hair will ever achieve Edwardian-era volume.
I really like the way your hair is laying over it in the front. Just the texture is so satisfying. Lol. I wanna try this now once my hair is long enough!
I always wondered how to do this hairstyle -- so I'm definitely going to try making this hair rat. It's the answer to my hair problem. Thanks, Rachel!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Chapter one page one. I looked up from mixed floor tiles to notice once again I was in the candle aisle. I’m not sure why I’m always drifting subconsciously to this aisle. It’s a perfectly respectable place to find myself - I think to myself. I glance at the different autumnal colours on each shelf. Aww such glorious scents: candied Apple, pumpkin spice and one nothing to do with smells... Riparian Lane. What a strange name, it had a photo of a winding lane, a river and a small derelict cottage. Somehow even though the candle wasn’t lit the windows seemed to have a glow. No other candle on the shelf matched this candle. I wonder what scent it would be. I opened the lid.
It looks pretty good! Kinda thinking if I could make this work with half of my head shaved... To the dresser! Find some stockings! I hope you're well and have a great weekend ❤
I remember my grandma still had a 'hair box' where you collected your own hair from cleaning out your combs to make hair rats, etc. That way it mimicked your hair color!
I absolutely loved this video. I love the outfit you are wearing. Truly inspires me to wear more of my time period styles outside the home. And I think doing this style will fit with my steampunk outfit for Free Comic Book Day. Thanks!
Hi guuuys!!! Hope you don't mind another laid back video while I continue to be stressed about finishing up these cosplays for tomorrroOWWW HAHAA I'm FINE.
Hope you have a great time at your convention!
Great stuff. I made mine with full-length stockings and it turned out pretty perfectly.
Pre-con is always stressful, major points for doing a video right before the con. I need to run away to continue with my own cosplays, haha.
Good luck! ❤️
You got this!!!
I LOVE Edwardian inspired stuff! The world needs more lace and poofy hair.
Yes I agree 👍🏻xD
Absolutely 😍
Yes! I'm getting into Edwardian fashion after getting into 1940s/50s style :). I can't wait to get my first outfit.
I ADORE ALL THINGS WITH LACE AND *POOF*!
100%
A very prim friend of mine, to me, in a hoarse whisper, many moons ago: "Emily!! In mixed company, we call them *nylons!*" 😂
Omg! Thats my granny on steroids!
I know you said this three years ago but credit where credit is due -
this is GOLD.🤣
I shall store it away to hopefully use myself one day soon. Awesome, thank you.
In the UK we call them tights.
I won't dare to admit that I have remnants of my hair in my bathroom cupboard, trying to collect enough for this kind of hairdo. Your way is both quicker, way less creepy and easier to explain if someone looks inside the cupboard
Hahaha that IS what they used to do though! So your way is definitely authentic!
My hair is down to my butt and I may or may not have a baggie trying to collect about from my brush to make one lol
Clara Zijlstra lmao I died at your comment 😂
Haha. I'm just as guilty, only it's in my bathroom drawer.
Lol yep me too!
I love the romantic lace sleeves and waistcoat btw. If it's not period authentic, it should be.
Would be awesome if that was the fashion of today, so people could look back to this time and say that it was historically accurate 🙂
Yess coming through with the content! Also don't apologize for ''weird'' videos..vintage is inherently weird sometimes (in fact life is inherently weird sometimes)
*cries in short hair*
Cries in thick medium hair!! Hait extensions are a gift from God
@@talosheeg I wish I had the patience for extensions oof
Cries in pixie cut 😭
Living in S Florida, I would be smothered in long hair and adore my pixie 🧚♀️. I do appreciate all my long haired beauties. You ladies can rock it for me. Lol
hahahaha that was great
Rachel: “Not very period accurate, but neither is having your hair consist 98% dry shampoo”
Marie Antoinette: “Am I a joke to you?”
The book cover for “How did I end up in the candle isle” was awesome 😂😂😂 Definitely looks like a bestseller
Laughed so hard on that book cover. 😄
I would buy this :D
It might be easier if you just got straight up tights (you could also find red ones to match your hair) to do it so it won't be to short on material. And then you could do a bigger circle and maybe pin it lower on your head as you wanted.

I completely abandoned the video I was watching to watch this and I don’t regret it at all
YELLS LOUDLY* I WAS THE SOMEONE WHO SENT THE VIDEO!! Ok I’ll calm down now! 🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hehehe YEEEEY! thank you for the idea!!!! ❤️❤️
Thank you page this was a great idea
👍😊 Good onya!!!! 💕
Thank you Paige!! I’ll definitely be trying this!

Tessa Jeane Hall I have seen the donuts that have a snap closure; perhaps 2 or 3 snapped together would work?
Side note I’m actually really into this filming setup? I know the lighting Might be difficult but I love it
Vintage is addicting. At first you’re like, “oh pinup that’s cute.” Then all of a sudden you’re making your own Edwardian hair rat lol
it happened to me....................................

Love your outfit with the flowy sleeved blouse! It's so cute!
Please do more Edwardian / Victorian content! I really like that aspect of vintage fashion along with your regular style !
I love your couch you are sitting on in this video. The vintage details are so beautiful. Definitely far more charming then modern sofas often look.
On a positive note you have a good base for an 18th century style
19th/20th, love
Recently your videos have been the ones I look forward to the most. You never fail to make me laugh and I love your content !
A good alternative to that word you dislike is "nylons".
I remember watching "A Room with a View" with my mother, and commenting that Helena Bonham Carter's hair looked too over the top. My mother told me that her grandmother wore hers even bigger! Don't be afraid to go big @Rachel Maksy xx
I don't know why, but red-hair up-dos slay me. Probably started with Megan Follows and just got worse. Gibson Girls forever! Well done, again.
You look like one of those heroines from a 1980s historical romance book cover with that hair and outfit 🥰🥰

Rachel! You need merch..... You are such a great designer, we need Frodo shirts and totes and Rachel/vintage inspired goodness.
Did anyone else actually really like the new setting? The lighting and the sofa in particular just made it feel so idyllic and serene
As someone who can barely manage a ponytail, I'm always VERY impressed with your hairstyles

I love how it turned out. Big hair is my absolute favorite.
I LOVEEEEE these buns so much. I love them and now I need to make this for my self immediately to make them easier to achieve. I never even though of putting a rat underneath to make it puff more. It’s genius.
Thanks Rachel!
i got so excited i thought you were going to make a traditional hair rat with your own hair but im actually thankful you didn't
I love videos like this as it’s both a mini history lesson annnnd a way to save money when trying to achieve a vintage look!

This video honestly made me laugh so hard and it was very needed! I thought your outfit fit really nicely with your hair, actually!
what a better way to deal with a day post nightshift then a new video of Miss Rachel Maksy!
I love that I've been watching your videos and the algorithm keep recommending videos that I even didn't know existed 😍
The shape you achieved inspires me so much, I want to try this for my 18th century looks!
I just re watched your other video this morning. I guess spring brings out the Gibson girl in all of us❤
You ending up in the candle aisle is literally how I always shop. Just wandering around random aisles that have nothing to do with what I’m actually there for.

Ohhh the lacy ruffle sleeved top is giving me life, you look gorgeous with the hairstyle
I love your outfit. I sniggered along with you during the "stuffing". Great video xx
These types of bun styles are so much cuter than the tight bun look imo.
instead of pantyhose you could use something called "Schlauchverband" in german. Its kind of a tubular bandage that you can get from the farmacy here. There are diverent sizes (for your leg, arm or finger etc...) and its kind of a "never ending tube" that you can cut to the length you need.
Your hair turned up real nice 😉 and that blouse! 😍😍😍
Totally cute hair look! I tried it with fishnets (cuz holes...) and rolled up batting. worked like a charm. Thanks for the inspo as always 😊
I can’t believe I’m in love with your top. Wow. Gorgeous. Flawless. Absolute unit

This is one of my favorite outfits of yours I've ever seen!
This is the Captain Janeway content I've always wanted
Love the blouse! Your so crafty, I bought a small one! Now I want to make a larger one! It looks great! Even the back!
I'd love to try this too! I definitely think it's an improved look from your last one. Love that you keep trying!
Tender head for life so I totally understand!
Fill the second one and sew them together. You can cut the second one down to make it the size of your head.
Not sure why I didn't think of that while filming 😂😂

Just use the second stocking to make it longer and tie it off where you want it and sew the ends together
Love this! I've always wondered how the heck to easily recreate this hairstyle. I think this is the answer
This makes my crafty senses tingle! It looks great, especially after deproperising it! (Yes, that's totally a word now in my Rachelcabulary)
Honestly this was better than anything I could attempt lol and I’m loving this new video content so much!!!!!!
Your amount of struggle is so relatable
Girl that lace shirt through. adorable!!
It looks pretty good!
Kinda thinking if I could make this work with half of my head shaved... To the dresser! Find some stockings!
I hope you're well and have a great weekend ❤
The color of your hair is beautiful!
I love your videos and adore your sense of humor!!
LOVE the new setting! You should film there more often!!
You look like how Anne ( with an e) of Green Gables looks in my head. Charming and fun
