Thank you so much for this! Doing real marcel waves with an iron has always seemed like.......howwww? and this is way more practical! And it seems like a wet set technique that my hair actually has a chance of fully drying in, which is a rare find! Also your video presence is great and I dont know if you plan on making more, but I'd love to see them! (pin curls, regency, all the things!)
Thank you so much! Yeah proper Marcel waves on oneself are HARD, makes sense as they weren’t designed to be done that way. There are definitely more historic hair tutorials coming!
I've been a devotee of the pincurl for a while now, so excited to have a new technique to try! If this had been around when I hadn't had a haircut for a year due to the pandemic, I'd be swanning around my house doing my best pre-Raphaelite impression
Thank you very much. :-) It's one of the eras I want to venture into, and the hairstyles have been intimidating (as they always are really, hairstyling isn't my forte). I think I could apply this even to later hairstyles on long hair!
@@jennylafleur Possibly the best thing about it in my eyes is that since the original curlers are just wire and you're using foam, I think I can actually easily make my own from fabric-covered wire. And maybe use up some old scraps. ;-)
I probably got recommended this because I watch bernadette banner and other similar channels. So, while it isn't something I plan to do to my hair, I just want you to know you did a great job with this tutorial \o/. People who are interested in this type of styling will surely find this quite helpful c:
cool video. I hope there will be more like this in the future. I really need tips for simple things to do myself. i have extremely thick hair but mostly i have no idea what to do with it!! so to avoid looking like a troll I just put it up in a knot or ponytail. but it would be really fun to learn some old hairstyles that aren't too complicated to do myself.
Abby sent me 💕 is there a hair length this would stop working on? My hair is hip length almost three feet long from crown I'm wondering if the curlers would be long enough......
Depending your exact haircut, you can totally Marcel wave bobbed hair - that is exactly what the fashion forward ladies like Irene Castle who cut their hair in the 19-teens and early 1920s did! Try using smaller rods or “U” hair pins instead
How wide and long are the curling rods? If I have shorter hair, should I get other type? Also, thank you for the video, I always wanted to have Marcel waves
The rods I used are are 0.3” in diameter, 9.5” long. (There is a link in the description box). You can definitely use a smaller size for shorter hair, you just may want to use slightly larger sections of hair per waver to avoid the wave pattern being too small/busy/frizzy.
In the Edwardian period "Marcel waves" or "Marcelling" referred the newly developed waving irons/technique patented by M. Marcel in 1905. This technique of using pins to mimic his hot iron waves were referred to as "faux" or "home" waves in the period article I based this tutorial on because they were not made using his specific professional irons and technique. Proper Marcel waves are much crisper and ridged than this softer non-professional home version. Hence my use of the term. As this general type of waved style morphed and became more popular in the 1920s and 1930s it became the general term more commonly known today. Hope that helps!
These came out beautiful! 😍

This is absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much. I’d love to see the brush out and styling process too, if that’s possible

What is the name of the manual you refer to?
I have fine, flat, curl resistant hair. I only use lotta body setting lotion. Nothing else works. It's cheap and doesn't weigh your hair down.
Wish I'd seen this before I got my hair bobbed. 😩

I wish this had subtitles; I'm struggling to understand what you're saying.
Thanks for the feedback - I am working on adding subtitles!
“Marcelling” was just a technique of attaining waves. But waves are waves, so I’m not exactly sure why you’re calling these “faux” waves. 🙄
