I remember being fascinated as a small child by the TV ads for Prell in the early '60s. They would drop a pearl into the glass bottle of green Prell which would very slowly sink, to show how rich the shampoo was.
GhostlyImage OfFear I loved the way prell would make your hair smell. Even days later. Used to use dippty do to set my hair when I would braid my hair over night. Take the braids out in the morning and have amazing curls
I liked the scent of Flex. If I’m not mistaken, it had a balsam scent. Kind of like Wella Balsam. My current shampoo is Herbal Essences Argan Oil Of Morocco shampoo/conditioner. It reminds me of those balsam shampoos. Check it out!
Fun fact about Prell: due to its high alkalinity it can actually perm hair. Reference: I am a licensed professional cosmetologist and did this as an experiment in beauty school when we were studying the chemical process of perms. Prell is definitely not as strong as actual perm solution, but when applied to wrapped hair, processed, and neutralized - it will “permanently” although mildly change the shape of the hair.
Judy Wood-Stockrahm perm solution/ Prell will actually lighten your hair! If your hair is naturally dark in color, it could have definitely exposed your underlying red pigments.
My mom use to wash me and my sister’s hair with Prell! Then when my sister discovered the cool Clarol Herbel Essences in the 70’s we both wanted to use that shampoo!
Loved the original herbal essence smell also. I would then use long and silky conditioner for my long straight hair in the 70's. That came in a turquoise colored bottle.
Im a hairdresser and my boss is 78. He bought his 62 years ago and uses it 5 days a week on all his clients professionally and its a bit battered but still perfectly useable.
@@yakk13 they have different ones some softer and denser and some stiffer and less dense. They work very simalarly to the modern wet detangler brush in the sense that they tickle over the hair without breaking knots. They are used to dress out dry hair mainly. Denman do a more affordable version nowadays as the original are extremely expensive between £60 and £100!
Nikki Thomas Faberge Organics shampoo with wheat germ, and honey...can you remember Vidal Sassoon shampoo...or pert in green bottle it was a pearl green shampoo.
Michele Bowen agreed. The packaging today is wasteful concerning product and doesn't feel good in the hand. It's generic trash ergonomically and waste product.
@Pam McCabe @Mike's mom... it made your hair so soft. Remember having to heat it up in a cup of hot water to get it nice and warm before applying to your hair.
I used Prell as a child. I was born in 65. My momma used the Dippity Do and the hair spray. I also use Queen Helene products. I love the cocoa butter facial scrub and the cream and lotion, also in the cocoa butter formula. The cream comes in a big tub. I think it's 14oz. I'll have to try the cleanser. I just love your channel.
I used Prell and it was good for greasy teenager hair. Also used Breck, Halo, and Faberge Organics. Your vintage glass bottle of Prell dates mostly likely post 1978 because of the UPC bar code on the back label. Still a very cool find. Hope you're doing well.
Jade Strawberry I do remember Prell Shampoo being pretty strong and harsh...and when I was very small my mother would wash my hair in the bathroom sink with Halo shampoo- it left my hair very tangled and how I would scream in pain when she’d comb it out...maybe that’s why it didn’t get washed frequently!
Jade Strawberry That’s what I thought too about the barcode. Probably back in 70s they still used the same package for Prell shampoo they used back in the 50s
Does anyone remember using cream rinse after shampooing? Breck made one and the directions were to pour a capful into a glass of warm water and dump over the hair and rinse out. Seemed more economical compared with putting undiluted conditioner on the hair.
I remember using Prell as a kid in the mid-80's and it looked very similar to her bottle, but with a slightly different label. I wonder if it could be early 80's?
Oh WOW I haven't thought about Dippity Do forever 😀😀😀. That takes me back to my childhood, my mom used to set my hair with that every Saturday night. She would wash my hair, and set it in curlers with Dippity Do to fix my hair for church on Sunday morning. I hated the entire process. The curlers were plastic and killed my head all night, and I couldn't sleep for the pain they caused. When curling irons became all the rage in the 70's, it was my ticket out of "curler hell", oh happy day lol. My mother curled my hair with the curling iron (I remember the first one, it was purple and white) until she dropped it and burned my neck. Then I said, no more, I will do my own hair. Oh, the struggles, but I miss those days. Thank you so much for sharing this, it was sooo great to remember those days 🤗🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖. Stay well.
Does anyone remember Pantene shampoo before the brand became a drug store brand? It was green and the smell was amazing. It was sold in department stores like Marshall Field's circa 1960's.
@@elisaastorino2881 do you remember jirmack shampoo being a pink color? I went to cosmetology school between 1989-1990 and the school had jirmack shampoo and it was bubblegum pink colored. I remember Victoria Principal had a commercial for jirmack shampoo.
I love your video. It sure brought up memories. I remember the Prell bottles were glass when I was little. We had a porcelain bathtub and my mother gave us the bottle and took it away because she was worried we would break the glass bottle on the tub. I remember Dippity Doo. My mom went to Beauty school in the 60s so she really used it on me. She put in rollers with the Dippity Doo then I sat under the hair dryer. The hair dryer was sooo relaxing. I also remember her using Alberto V05 on my hair. The good old days.
I remember Prell from when I was a kid. The commercial showed then dropping a pearl into it so you could see how slowly it dropped through the thick shampoo. We used Dippity Doo too!! Memories!
Wow really brings back memories cause I’m 65 and used these products. Prell was great to use if your hair color was ever too dark, would strip it right out.
I still use Prell today and I love it!! I work in a factory so Prell helps clean my hair and scalp from all the sweat and dirt. It also prevents my neck from breaking out on my hair line
Have you ever heard of Fuller hairbrushes? Fuller was founded in 1906, and there used to be someone called a Fuller representative that used to come to your door and sell these hairbrushes. These hairbrushes are so good to the hair and make the hair look so neat and shiny. People have used these hairbrushes for decades, and they are still available on Amazon for a little less than $30.00. Also, do you agree that Prell smells very similar to White Shoulders?
I think they used to sell them on QVC. And I believe there's cleaning items also. There was one you could clean out the filter area in a dryer and and a longer one that could reach under fridges and other appliances and furniture. They're like a long bristley baby bottle brush basically. I have a couple different sizes of them from a different brand. They're great. Especially when you are a kitty rescuer. 😅
My Fulller Brush guy retired about two years ago. My father used to sell it. I still have MANY of their items from the 60's and 70's, and some newer things. Stanley bought out Fuller Brush. Sorry, but just not the same.
How about Alberto v05 hairdresser? Love these types of videos and background music. Avon used to have shampoo and conditioner in a pink plastic containers. It was the best ever but sadly they don't make it anymore. I also love Flex and wheat germ oil and honey shampoo and conditioner. It was very popular
Yes, used Flex as a teenager, it was very good. And I remember when Pantene was a luxury item with completely different formula and packaging that you could only buy in department stores. Used to save my babysitting money for that, because I had that long, parted in the middle, 70's hair.
My aunt Rosella used to always have Prell in her shower. This was in 1979/1980 when I was around age 5. Every time we went to her house I would go in her bathroom and smell the tube of Prell shampoo. It's funny because I don't remember what shampoo we used in our house :-)
Revlons Flex Shampoo and conditioners were amazing! I had waist long hair from high school throughout college and these products made hair smell and look incredible! Up to about 10 years or so ago I was still able to buy the shampoo on Drugstore.com. I keep hoping it comes back but Revlon isn’t interested in retro anything except lipstick, they even ruined my favorite fragrance Ciara by changing the formula I presume to make it cheaper.
I grew up in the 50s. My mother used a conditioner/detangler called Tame, and it was fantastic. She also used VitaFluff shampoo (not sure of the spelling anymore); it came in a jar, not a bottle, because it was THICK; you had to scoop it out with your hand. I remember loving the smell! Even if you can still buy these products, they are not the same. These companies have changed formulas.
@@cattycorner8...My guess is that it has something to do with money. Just like A LOT of products I grew up with are no longer fit. Baby Ruth candy bars come to mind. I grew up with the SAME TOASTER my entire life. I could go one but won't!
I always pre-condition once a week with Elasticiser. An amazing product as are all the Philip Kingsley prescription products. I have used it for years and for even longer I have been using Vitapoint. It is used also to smooth your hair after styling, not just the ends but all your hair, gets rid of any wispy bits and leaves a lovely smooth finish, particularly on a vintage hairdo. Not a big user of hairspray but definitely have used Elnett
What a lovely distraction these videos are! i still use prell shampoo. We had it when I was a little girl as well. the last time I used the hairspray you showed was about a year ago when we were in France. I had forgotten my travel size hairspray and was able to buy a small can of it in a pharmacy. I haven’t used that brand in years but it was familiar to me so I grabbed it!🧴
I alternate between Pantene, Herbal Essences, Aussie, Dove, Suave, Tresemme, Head & Shoulders, Prell, Pert, Alberto VO5. I shampoo and condition my hair twice a week. Pantene, Aussie, Prell, Tresemme, used to be sold and used in salons years ago! Fun fact!
My mother washed our hair with Prell as kids and I continued through high school, and I also used Dippity-do when I set and wrapped my hair to get it straight.
My mom used VitaPointe hairdresser on my sisters and I. It is very inexpensive at beauty supply stores. Its formula has changed but it still a good product.
Prell is stronger because people didn't wash their hair everyday. Maybe wash and set it on rollers with a curler cap every weekend. Every few months people used to get a Toni perm so your hair would hold a set better. In the 70s we stated to wash our hair every day and my father said we were clogging up the drains with our long hair. Breck shampoo was my mothers favorite, she would order several bottles when it was on sale. We also had Suave creme rinse so you could comb out the tangles.
My grandmother used nothing but breck.. and the pink conditioner.. I certainly remember it all.. when my brother and I were pre teens and stayed with our grandmother.. she would shampoo our hair at the kitchen sink with her breck. I hated the smell and thought it too “ girly” to be used on us boys and once she used that pink conditioner on my hair.. took forever for her to rinse out my hair.. that was a shampooing I never forgot.
I remember being fascinated with Dippity Do and the bubbles that were all through the jar. We only ever had Prell shampoo and Johnson’s Baby Shampoo growing up.
I noticed that your vintage style Prell bottle that you believe is from the 1950s actually has a barcode on the back label. From what I remember, it’s been about 10 years since I was in school for Graphic Design, but if I do remember correctly barcodes didn’t come into common use until the mid 1970s. So anything with a barcode likely isn’t older than that. 🤷♀️ ... Btw, I love your videos, especially the ones like these where you show vintage products still available today. Thank you for helping others to connect with the past and our elders in a tangible way. It’s always cool to see pictures of the products they used, but actually being able to use them yourself is like stepping back in time, if only for a moment. So thanks again for helping facilitate those little magical time travel moments. 💗
Boy do I remember Dippity Doo! I had very curly hair as a child. I was little in the sixties and my mother would slap this stuff on my head, especially on my curly bangs. She would comb it straight and tape it down with pink hair tape. I then wore a soft bonnet dryer for an excruciatingly long time since gel slowed down the drying time. I remember it came in pink and light sky blue. It had a pleasant light scent which I always enjoyed. Of course as soon as she ripped the tape off my bangs my hair would quickly boing back into curls. She never gave up trying to straighten my hair with it though.
@@buffy2875 I remember that something called Nutri tonic hair conditioner! Loved it and it smelled so good. I think they discontinued that quite a while back! Wish I had had some of that today.
I remember Prell (very green shampoo) and the smell was amazing! But be careful using it, my friend's sister-in law dyed her hair blonde (years ago) and then sometime later shampooed her hair using Prell and her hair turned green! LOL Also, I remember Dippity-do!
Nothing feels better on your scalp than natural bristles. Relaxing! I have a Crabtree & Evelyn natural bristle hairbrush I bought for $40 25 years ago. It’s in great shape, still feels good. They all seem to cost a fortune these days.
I was born in 1971. I remember that Prell shampoo had the little pearl in it. I noticed that it no longer has the pearl. I still love Prell shampoo and still use it. My Dad used Tres flores pomade on his comb over. Every time I smell Tres Flores it reminds me of Pop's.
Prell....I loved it as a child, especially the ad where they dropped the pearl in it. Other big ones from my time were Body On Tap, Fabrege Organics and Pert.
I think Palmer's is a vintage brand as well. I remember my US-based aunt basically smuggling Palmers, Queen Helene and Noxzema creams to bring home to relatives.
Nice to see you Laura, Prell, those hairbrushes, yes that's the bottle. That cholesterol cream, I used on all my daughters. Vitalis,D ippity Do , I used that with soup, and orange juice can rollers, WoW
My mom always bought Prell shampoo in the late 70s I remember the way it smells my Grandma used Alberto V05 from her teens in the 50s until she passed in 1998 I do remember my great grandmother would come over every Friday morning my Granny would do her hair up in rollers and dippity do that would be her hair style for the week
We used that shampoo you have there in the same container it was on TV and still in our bathroom during 70s there were not tjat many products back in tje days so we dont have to go back that far seems like only yesturday. The dippity - do! was so very popular it was huge! when I was a little girl and at 60 now you could imagine the period since it was playing in the cermercials on TV I remember the smell and trying it.
In the seventies I use final Nat and I know it's been around for a while a lot of women used it that's how you got your beehives your French twist and your flips
@@margearetwilliams3779 Found it at the Dollar Store here in Florida. Am so happy. Have to wash my hair often and Prell works perfectly for my needs. Still love the scent.
Rose here. I have used prell shampoo for 50 years or more and I still use it today I would not use any other shampoo. I have tried other shampoos but I would never give up my prell shampoo.
Wow I gotta say your channel is growing faster than I've EVER seen on youtube!! You have a one of a kind approach to your vids that's intimate, along with the vintage aspect which many ppl love. I have no doubt you'll reach a million by the end of the year if you keep this up:) Hope you are doing well & thanks for still uploading despite what's going on
Prell, Safeguard, Dippy Do and Aqua net I grew up with those. The worst was the nylon bristle brush my mom brushed my curly hair with. Didn't know what hair conditioner was till the age of 16.
You can still buy Body on Tap shampoo in Vermont Country Store- It is more watery, and quite harsh, by today’s standards- I mix a drop with my moisturizing shampoo, and it does smell nice, and seems to help clean my hair ! But always condition well after💕
You can still buy Wella Kolestrol. Company dates from 1880, and Kolestral first hit the U.S. Market (under the name Kolestron) in 1945. Elizabeth Taylor was in their early advertising. V05 original hair dressing was developed during the 1950s was first advertised on television in 1955, and is the number one hair conditioner in the United States today.
I tried Prell somewhere around circa 1970, because I loved the emerald green color. It made my hair feel like straw and it went straight in the garbage.
I am 52 years old. We use Prell and dippity doo when I was a kid. My mom would use the dippity doo when she set my hair with those hard pink rollers. That was in the 70’s. Those rollers were painful to sleep in
Growing up we only used Breck shampoo and it came in a huge glass bottle. I remember always being afraid of it slipping out of my little slippery hands and breaking it in the bottom of the tub. I hated it when they went to plastic, but also relieved I needn't be worried about that gigantic glass bottle at more. As a teenager, I sometimes used a pink cream rinse (1 cap in a glass of warm water) after washing my hair, but don't remember the brand. We also had 1/2 round hair brushes mom bought from the Fuller Brush man (I miss those days!)... they NEVER wore out! Does anyone remember Avon's Hair Trainer? Mom used it on the boys to make their hair incapable of ever messing up... it turned your hair into a hard helmet. She also used it on the girls to keep the head hair cemented in place with only the pony tail able to move. Hair Trainer was icy cold, goopy wet when she combed it thru the hair, and when it dried, your hair was stiff and cemented in place with stiffened comb streaks in it. Us kids liked to crunch our hair after it dried.
My grandmother used nothing but breck..She would shampoo my hair with it when I was a young boy I didn’t like the smell .. thought it was too girly smelling .. and one time she used that pink cream rinse on me that was brutal !
Used to use Prell shampoo all the time! Loved the fragrance !! In fact, Prell used to make a concentrated version of this shampoo that came in a tube just like a tube of toothpaste. It was great for traveling because it hardly took up any space and because it was concentrated, you only needed a little bit to completely wash your hair. I wish they still made this in the concentrated tubes again.
Hi Catherine. Wasn’t it called “Gee your hair smells terrific? Lol some of the product names when I was growing up on the 70’s were really hilarious. :)
About 8 years ago I bought some cans of Pssst dry shampoo from a CVS. I think they worked pretty well, but like most dry shampoos, they unfortunately smelled like carpet cleaner to me, not shampoo! Pantene dry shampoo has the only good fragrance I've found so far.
My mom would put Dippity Doo on my hair when I was a little girl.She would then put roller on my hair.My hair would be so curly and soft.I like this product very much. It smelled good too.
Thank you so much for this!!! I’ll be showing this to my cosmetology class I teach! As a hair dresser I use peel only if there is stubborn color after using a color remover! It’s a very strong alkaline shampoo. We used Queen Helen back in school their cholesterol was one of the big game changers for damaged hair back in the day!
You will NOT regret investing in a good Mason Pearson brush!! Not only can they be game changers and versatile... but depending how brutal you are on it ( I'm abusive a.f on mine for almost 20 years & it still doesn't let me down,) it could definitely last you for life!
@Anthony Calandra..when we were young boys, my brother and I and my dad went to this hairdresser on our street for haircuts..elderly lady doing hair for many years as well ..shop in her basement... cut our hair all through high school.. She had the tube of prell .. she would shampoo all of us first using prell .. I remember loving the smell wafting around my head back in the sink.. I remember the glass bottle too..

I loved the smell of Dippity Do. My mom used it religiously when she rolled her hair.
I used Prell back in the day. There was a shampoo called Agree. Anyone remember that one? Also Flex by Revlon.
yes, agree smelled so good. and i loved flex wish they still made it.
Chris Best smelling shampoo and conditioner of all time
You can still buy agree shampoo in Canada! I miss revlon outrageous.

Very interesting. I knew it was very alkaline, but I didn't realize it could curl the hair.
I wonder what happens when someone with coily/kinky hair uses it then? It might not alter it, but I wouldn’t know.
Thank u!
As a little girl in the 60s, my shampoo was Prell. Brings back fond memories. Love your videos.
Queen Helene also made Mint Julep clay face masks, too. Smelled and worked great!
Yes, my mom had it but I never saw her use it. I loved to open it and sniff it. I had forgotten, thanks for the memory.
The mask is still available. It can be found in some Walmarts.
My mom use to wash me and my sister’s hair with Prell! Then when my sister discovered the cool Clarol Herbel Essences in the 70’s we both wanted to use that shampoo!
They both smelled wonderful!
Herbal Essence was bomb- it really smelled foresty. Gee Your Hair Smells Delicious was amazing- but I it was too expensive. I only got it once. lol.
I love the original formula. It had such a fresh herbal scent. In the 90s when they changed the formula I would look everywhere for a bottle.
Loved the original herbal essence smell also. I would then use long and silky conditioner for my long straight hair in the 70's.
That came in a turquoise colored bottle.
A maison Pearson brush will last a lifetime I have had mine for 32 years my grandmother had hers for more than 70 years.
Wow! Must be fantastic brushes!
I wish she had shown the one with boars hair. I wonder if they are soft or stiff
@@yakk13 a little of both to be honest

Does anyone remember the Faberge Organic shampoo that had wheat germ, and honey in it for soft silky, shiny hair.
And she told two friends, and she told two friends...
I think it was called milk&honey
Nikki Thomas Faberge Organics shampoo with wheat germ, and honey...can you remember Vidal Sassoon shampoo...or pert in green bottle it was a pearl green shampoo.
I remember Tiny Tim in a commercial for them.
Faberge Organic Shampoo was my go-to in the 70s, back when we all got that Farrah Fawcett cut. Loved that shampoo.
I wish some of these products would go back to the vintage packages. I love just how pretty things used to be packaged. Vintage Vibes Forever!
Michele Bowen agreed. The packaging today is wasteful concerning product and doesn't feel good in the hand. It's generic trash ergonomically and waste product.
Anyone else remember Tame Clean Rinse? Or Breck shampoo?
Wendy Muir : yes I used both , brings back memories I would put Tame in my swimming back to get tangles out after a swim
YES, I remember both. Remember when Farah Fawcett was a Breck Girl ?
As a girl,I used Breck and Halo. Later I used dipping do and also Tame cream rinse.
Breck used to be at dollar tree a long time ago.
I remember Jaclyn Smith was a “Beautiful Hair Breck Girl”...and I think they also had a coconut cream rinse which left your hair so soft!
Vo5 hot hair oil treatment used to come in little plastic twist off caps. came 3 in a box.
Mike Kelly I used those. It smelled really good.
@Pam McCabe @Mike's mom... it made your hair so soft. Remember having to heat it up in a cup of hot water to get it nice and warm before applying to your hair.
That 'vintage' Prell bottle is probably from the 80's. It has a UPC on it, those didn't become widely used until the 80's.
Debbie I recognized that bottle from my childhood and I was born in 1977 so I’m with you on being from the 80’s
The first upc code used was in 74 at a store in Ohio. A pack of gum was scanned using a UPC code that gum is now in the Smithsonian Institute.
How about the VO5 hairdressing in the metal tubes! Love your channel so much!
I used Prell as a child. I was born in 65. My momma used the Dippity Do and the hair spray.

The Queen Helene Mint Julep mud mask is also pretty awesome!
Have you ever heard of Fuller hairbrushes? Fuller was founded in 1906, and there used to be someone called a Fuller representative that used to come to your door and sell these hairbrushes. These hairbrushes are so good to the hair and make the hair look so neat and shiny. People have used these hairbrushes for decades, and they are still available on Amazon for a little less than $30.00. Also, do you agree that Prell smells very similar to White Shoulders?
I think they used to sell them on QVC. And I believe there's cleaning items also. There was one you could clean out the filter area in a dryer and and a longer one that could reach under fridges and other appliances and furniture. They're like a long bristley baby bottle brush basically. I have a couple different sizes of them from a different brand. They're great. Especially when you are a kitty rescuer. 😅
Fuller Brush Man...used to come to our house through the 70s.
My Fulller Brush guy retired about two years ago. My father used to sell it. I still have MANY of their items from the 60's and 70's, and some newer things. Stanley bought out Fuller Brush. Sorry, but just not the same.
The Fuller Brush man used to come to the door! I wish I could get the half-round one with the clear acrylic handle. Best brushes ever!
My dad used Vitalis
I still use Queen Helene skin and hair products. It's what my mom bought for us when I was younger and it works today.
How about Alberto v05 hairdresser? Love these types of videos and background music. Avon used to have shampoo and conditioner in a pink plastic containers. It was the best ever but sadly they don't make it anymore. I also love Flex and wheat germ oil and honey shampoo and conditioner. It was very popular
Yes, used Flex as a teenager, it was very good. And I remember when Pantene was a luxury item with completely different formula and packaging that you could only buy in department stores. Used to save my babysitting money for that, because I had that long, parted in the middle, 70's hair.
@@ghostlyimageoffear6210 Yes parted in the middle trying to be so different from our mothers. We just ended up looking alike.
Holy crap, I was thinking of Alberto VO 5 during this entire vid lol.
I used Alberto V05 as well. I found it at the Dollar Tree recently, along with Salon Selectives products.
I used to love Revlon "Milk Plus 6" in the 70s.
Johnny Carson : “ Dippity Do. What forms on your dippity early in the morning?”!
I loved Aqua Net Hair Spray. Probably the best for the flip :)
Aqua net was everywhere - Final net came along in 68 or 69, I think. lol. It was like shellac...stiff as a board.. lol
My aunt Rosella used to always have Prell in her shower. This was in 1979/1980 when I was around age 5. Every time we went to her house I would go in her bathroom and smell the tube of Prell shampoo. It's funny because I don't remember what shampoo we used in our house :-)
Revlons Flex Shampoo and conditioners were amazing! I had waist long hair from high school throughout college and these products made hair smell and look incredible! Up to about 10 years or so ago I was still able to buy the shampoo on Drugstore.com. I keep hoping it comes back but Revlon isn’t interested in retro anything except lipstick, they even ruined my favorite fragrance Ciara by changing the formula I presume to make it cheaper.
I grew up in the 50s. My mother used a conditioner/detangler called Tame, and it was fantastic. She also used VitaFluff shampoo (not sure of the spelling anymore); it came in a jar, not a bottle, because it was THICK; you had to scoop it out with your hand. I remember loving the smell! Even if you can still buy these products, they are not the same. These companies have changed formulas.
yes, that's right. TAME worked great. Why don't they make cream rinse anymore?
@@cattycorner8...My guess is that it has something to do with money. Just like A LOT of products I grew up with are no longer fit. Baby Ruth candy bars come to mind. I grew up with the SAME TOASTER my entire life. I could go one but won't!
Queen Helene. He, not Hi.
I always pre-condition once a week with Elasticiser. An amazing product as are all the Philip Kingsley prescription products. I have used it for years and for even longer I have been using Vitapoint. It is used also to smooth your hair after styling, not just the ends but all your hair, gets rid of any wispy bits and leaves a lovely smooth finish, particularly on a vintage hairdo. Not a big user of hairspray but definitely have used Elnett
YES VITALIS MY DAD USED ,,,,SO FUNNY TO SEE ALL THESE PRODUCTS THAT WERE AROUND FROM WHEN I WAS GROWING UP IN THE 60S
I remember Vitalis!
OMG PRELL, LOL IT WAS LIKE DISH DETERGENT,,,I REMEMBER THE COMMERCIAL WITH THE PEARL
it WAS like dish detergent
What a lovely distraction these videos are! i still use prell shampoo. We had it when I was a little girl as well. the last time I used the hairspray you showed was about a year ago when we were in France. I had forgotten my travel size hairspray and was able to buy a small can of it in a pharmacy. I haven’t used that brand in years but it was familiar to me so I grabbed it!🧴
I alternate between Pantene, Herbal Essences, Aussie, Dove, Suave, Tresemme, Head & Shoulders, Prell, Pert, Alberto VO5. I shampoo and condition my hair twice a week.
Pantene, Aussie, Prell, Tresemme, used to be sold and used in salons years ago! Fun fact!
My mother washed our hair with Prell as kids and I continued through high school, and I also used Dippity-do when I set and wrapped my hair to get it straight.
I used Queen Helene Cholesterol back in the 1980 s when I was doing crazy things to my hair. It made my hair super soft! Enjoy!
The price went up I used to spend a dollar on it I loved that
My mom used VitaPointe hairdresser on my sisters and I. It is very inexpensive at beauty supply stores. Its formula has changed but it still a good product.
I remember Prell! They still sell it it's actually a good shampoo for oily hair. Great video!
I’ve used Prell as a clarifying shampoo. It’s basically dish soap. But it does the job, lol.
Prell is a great body wash. It contains ammonia so it is really strong. I also like it for my hair. It gets so shiny.
Prell smells so good. My other favorite smell is the original Coppertone suntan oil. I think I would buy these products just for the smell.
Queen Helene as a hair mask is the best!
I remember the dippity doo and the Pssssst dry shampoo!Memories!
Oh my forgot about dippity doo and pssssst Dry shampoo had to have it during cold season.
Prell is stronger because people didn't wash their hair everyday. Maybe wash and set it on rollers with a curler cap every weekend.
Every few months people used to get a Toni perm so your hair would hold a set better. In the 70s we stated to wash our hair every day and my father said we were clogging up the drains with our long hair. Breck shampoo was my mothers favorite, she would order several bottles when it was on sale. We also had Suave creme rinse so you could comb out the tangles.
You are right about that- You set your hair on the weekend for church, then kept it that way all week.
My grandmother used nothing but breck.. and the pink conditioner.. I certainly remember it all.. when my brother and I were pre teens and stayed with our grandmother.. she would shampoo our hair at the kitchen sink with her breck. I hated the smell and thought it too “ girly” to be used on us boys and once she used that pink conditioner on my hair.. took forever for her to rinse out my hair.. that was a shampooing I never forgot.
I remember being fascinated with Dippity Do and the bubbles that were all through the jar. We only ever had Prell shampoo and Johnson’s Baby Shampoo growing up.
I noticed that your vintage style Prell bottle that you believe is from the 1950s actually has a barcode on the back label. From what I remember, it’s been about 10 years since I was in school for Graphic Design, but if I do remember correctly barcodes didn’t come into common use until the mid 1970s. So anything with a barcode likely isn’t older than that. 🤷♀️ ... Btw, I love your videos, especially the ones like these where you show vintage products still available today. Thank you for helping others to connect with the past and our elders in a tangible way. It’s always cool to see pictures of the products they used, but actually being able to use them yourself is like stepping back in time, if only for a moment. So thanks again for helping facilitate those little magical time travel moments. 💗
Boy do I remember Dippity Doo! I had very curly hair as a child. I was little in the sixties and my mother would slap this stuff on my head, especially on my curly bangs. She would comb it straight and tape it down with pink hair tape. I then wore a soft bonnet dryer for an excruciatingly long time since gel slowed down the drying time. I remember it came in pink and light sky blue. It had a pleasant light scent which I always enjoyed. Of course as soon as she ripped the tape off my bangs my hair would quickly boing back into curls. She never gave up trying to straighten my hair with it though.
I remember using Prell from the tube prior to the 80's.
I remember my mother had used Dippty Do, it was a pink jell I believe, also, do you remember luster cream shampoo? Thank you for your videos
Do you mean Nutri Tonic ? It was in a plastic jar and it was pink ?
Luster Cream shampoo. Smelled good.
@@buffy2875 I remember that something called Nutri tonic hair conditioner! Loved it and it smelled so good. I think they discontinued that quite a while back! Wish I had had some of that today.
@@kathleenthompson3140 also used luster cream cream shampoo, it was so very rich and creamy and smelled so good also.
I've never seen pink Dippity Do, only green.
You might be interested in Madame CJ Walker hair product.Movie called Self Made is on Netflix about her life
Great movie; not sure how much was factual.
I remember Prell (very green shampoo) and the smell was amazing! But be careful using it, my friend's sister-in law dyed her hair blonde (years ago) and then sometime later shampooed her hair using Prell and her hair turned green! LOL Also, I remember Dippity-do!
Prell was my favorite !
Nothing feels better on your scalp than natural bristles. Relaxing! I have a Crabtree & Evelyn natural bristle hairbrush I bought for $40 25 years ago. It’s in great shape, still feels good. They all seem to cost a fortune these days.
I was born in 1971. I remember that Prell shampoo had the little pearl in it. I noticed that it no longer has the pearl. I still love Prell shampoo and still use it. My Dad used Tres flores pomade on his comb over. Every time I smell Tres Flores it reminds me of Pop's.
I have really dry frizzy hair and am a hairstylist and I honestly love vitapointe and Mason Pearson brushes. You can't beat them still!
I love prell. Not for long hair but for my short hair. Smells divine.
Met Phillip Kingsley in mid eighties when I worked at Saks,SF as a resident makeup artist.
Prell....I loved it as a child, especially the ad where they dropped the pearl in it.
Other big ones from my time were Body On Tap, Fabrege Organics and Pert.
Body on Tap had beer in it. I liked it . Would give my hair body.
I think Palmer's is a vintage brand as well. I remember my US-based aunt basically smuggling Palmers, Queen Helene and Noxzema creams to bring home to relatives.
Dippity Doo helped when you were curling your hair with the big plastic rollers. Thanks for the memories of these products
Nice to see you Laura, Prell, those hairbrushes, yes that's the bottle. That cholesterol cream, I used on all my daughters. Vitalis,D ippity Do , I used that with soup, and orange juice can rollers, WoW
Sis, you are good. You always manage to find some amazing vintage products. Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time.
I love prell I've used it , love the body you get with it great product
My mom always bought Prell shampoo in the late 70s I remember the way it smells my Grandma used Alberto V05 from her teens in the 50s until she passed in 1998 I do remember my great grandmother would come over every Friday morning my Granny would do her hair up in rollers and dippity do that would be her hair style for the week
The originally balsam flex. Wonderful.
We used that shampoo you have there in the same container it was on TV and still in our bathroom during 70s there were not tjat many products back in tje days so we dont have to go back that far seems like only yesturday. The dippity - do! was so very popular it was huge! when I was a little girl and at 60 now you could imagine the period since it was playing in the cermercials on TV I remember the smell and trying it.
In the seventies I use final Nat and I know it's been around for a while a lot of women used it that's how you got your beehives your French twist and your flips
I used Prell shampoo this morning!
I love it! Hair feels clean and truly weightless.
cutiepatutti65 wher can I find prell I miss it so much?
Yes Where do u get it!?
Walmart has it.
@@margearetwilliams3779 Found it at the Dollar Store here in Florida. Am so happy. Have to wash my hair often and Prell works perfectly for my needs. Still love the scent.
Rose here. I have used prell shampoo for 50 years or more and I still use it today I would not use any other shampoo. I have tried other shampoos but I would never give up my prell shampoo.
I used to get Vitapoint when i lived in England, I forgot all about it, it was so many years ago! Good stuff that 😊
Wow I gotta say your channel is growing faster than I've EVER seen on youtube!! You have a one of a kind approach to your vids that's intimate, along with the vintage aspect which many ppl love. I have no doubt you'll reach a million by the end of the year if you keep this up:) Hope you are doing well & thanks for still uploading despite what's going on
Prell, Safeguard, Dippy Do and Aqua net I grew up with those. The worst was the nylon bristle brush my mom brushed my curly hair with. Didn't know what hair conditioner was till the age of 16.
I just loved Irovy shampoo and conditioner. It smelled so good!!
We used cholesterol alot in cosmetology school still. We even use it on stateboard
Glad to see it in your video. I still use Prell and think it’s the best shampoo out there.
Prell is the best and made my hair look so nice and the best shampoo you can buy and that looks like the bottle I use in the seventies.
You can still buy Body on Tap shampoo in Vermont Country Store- It is more watery, and quite harsh, by today’s standards- I mix a drop with my moisturizing shampoo, and it does smell nice, and seems to help clean my hair ! But always condition well after💕
I used Prell in the 60's. My late father used the Three Flowers on his curly hair. This video brought back wonderful memories.
I ❤️ everything Queen Helene!
You can still buy Wella Kolestrol. Company dates from 1880, and Kolestral first hit the U.S. Market (under the name Kolestron) in 1945. Elizabeth Taylor was in their early advertising.
V05 original hair dressing was developed during the 1950s was first advertised on television in 1955, and is the number one hair conditioner in the United States today.
It’s so fun to see the tried and true products for hair.
I've used hair cholesterol and it's very good for dry, damaged hair. love your videos.
I tried Prell somewhere around circa 1970, because I loved the emerald green color. It made my hair feel like straw and it went straight in the garbage.
I am 52 years old. We use Prell and dippity doo when I was a kid. My mom would use the dippity doo when she set my hair with those hard pink rollers. That was in the 70’s. Those rollers were painful to sleep in
Growing up we only used Breck shampoo and it came in a huge glass bottle. I remember always being afraid of it slipping out of my little slippery hands and breaking it in the bottom of the tub. I hated it when they went to plastic, but also relieved I needn't be worried about that gigantic glass bottle at more. As a teenager, I sometimes used a pink cream rinse (1 cap in a glass of warm water) after washing my hair, but don't remember the brand. We also had 1/2 round hair brushes mom bought from the Fuller Brush man (I miss those days!)... they NEVER wore out!
Does anyone remember Avon's Hair Trainer? Mom used it on the boys to make their hair incapable of ever messing up... it turned your hair into a hard helmet. She also used it on the girls to keep the head hair cemented in place with only the pony tail able to move. Hair Trainer was icy cold, goopy wet when she combed it thru the hair, and when it dried, your hair was stiff and cemented in place with stiffened comb streaks in it. Us kids liked to crunch our hair after it dried.
My grandmother used nothing but breck..She would shampoo my hair with it when I was a young boy I didn’t like the smell .. thought it was too girly smelling .. and one time she used that pink cream rinse on me that was brutal !
@@Tony-yg9mc 👍🤣
Used to use Prell shampoo all the time! Loved the fragrance !! In fact, Prell used to make a concentrated version of this shampoo that came in a tube just like a tube of toothpaste. It was great for traveling because it hardly took up any space and because it was concentrated, you only needed a little bit to completely wash your hair. I wish they still made this in the concentrated tubes again.
I remember the Dippity Doo and the Pssst. Does anyone remember the shampoo called I Can’t Believe My Hair Smells So Good.
Hi Catherine. Wasn’t it called “Gee your hair smells terrific? Lol some of the product names when I was growing up on the 70’s were really hilarious. :)
Yep! You can still get that shampoo from the Vermont Country Store.
About 8 years ago I bought some cans of Pssst dry shampoo from a CVS. I think they worked pretty well, but like most dry shampoos, they unfortunately smelled like carpet cleaner to me, not shampoo! Pantene dry shampoo has the only good fragrance I've found so far.
My mom would put Dippity Doo on my hair when I was a little girl.She would then put roller on my hair.My hair would be so curly and soft.I like this product very much. It smelled good too.
I remeber some of these products. I still use Queen Helene conditioner.
Thank you so much for this!!! I’ll be showing this to my cosmetology class I teach! As a hair dresser I use peel only if there is stubborn color after using a color remover! It’s a very strong alkaline shampoo. We used Queen Helen back in school their cholesterol was one of the big game changers for damaged hair back in the day!
Still remember the smell of Prell. Loved it
I remember that old style Prell bottle,it smelled nice too.
You will NOT regret investing in a good Mason Pearson brush!! Not only can they be game changers and versatile... but depending how brutal you are on it ( I'm abusive a.f on mine for almost 20 years & it still doesn't let me down,) it could definitely last you for life!
Hi.. like this. I'm a hairdresser for many years. The spell bottle you have is from the 60s.
No, it's not as it has both a "bar code" and a "1-800" number on the label.
@Anthony Calandra..when we were young boys, my brother and I and my dad went to this hairdresser on our street for haircuts..elderly lady doing hair for many years as well ..shop in her basement... cut our hair all through high school.. She had the tube of prell .. she would shampoo all of us first using prell .. I remember loving the smell wafting around my head back in the sink.. I remember the glass bottle too..
My mama loved Prell shampoo in the 60's 😉
I used to use Prell when I was a kid, I loved it
