On this channel I do mostly hair tutorials where I show you how to braid, pin and style your own hair. I recreate hairstyles from movies, tv shows or history and I regularly come up with my own, which I love to share with you!
I really enjoy diving into history to find out how women went about their beauty and dressing rituals in days past. Vintage and history-themed videos are my little passion project.
You'll find a bit of lifestyle content here as well, ranging from cozy chats over a cup of tea (my beloved Tea Time videos) to personal vlogs and home & interior videos.

it's edwardian hair: there is no such thing as too curled
Along the Lane agreed. The curlier the better .
I've decided that this is the most flattering era for women.. so I'm dressing like this every day. Getting lots of positive comments from complete strangers. Bring back Edwardian fashion!!
Snowy Skylar I wear Edwardian-style “walking” skirts, in lengths between mid-calf and just-above-the-ankle.
Arrived to the same idea lately. Just getting into that right now!
@@Tina06019 me too.
Same!
You can also use a couple of pairs of tights; they're nice and light and allow you to push hair pins through the fabric easily x x
Bobbysox that’s such a good idea! I was wondering how on Earth to do this with my reddish-blonde hair but busted nylons would work perfectly!!
Dude where you get the indestructible tights for this. Id try but I feel like tights will be shredded by pins in two-three wears.
That's a good idea.....years ago I used the thin hairnets to put my own hair in each time it was trimmed or cut ...
I decided last year I wanted to make rat out of my own hair so I could get the color match right. I collected all my fall outs in box. Cut to when my boyfriend was cleaning out the closet and found my...collection. Oh the screams.
I'm collecting my dogs hair that's been brushed off to try to make a dog's wool thread and then knit a sweater for him, I know how you feel. I mean, it's for science!
My husband has seen me do some kooky things on my quest to give up heat styling. But when he caught me stuffing my shower-fallout-hair into a ziplock bag he thought just maybe I’d lost my mind.
I admire everyone on this thread, I wish I had that kind of commitment!!! Lol
Loofahs Swanson I had the exact same situation happen 😂😂😂 I was keeping it in makeup bag that looked the same as my bag of medicine, he went to look for Advil and I just heard a yelp!
This thread gives me comfort knowing that I'm not the only hair collecting weirdo in the world. 😅
... for styling purposes, that is.
I seriously NEVER KNEW it wasn't their actual hair😳 This means, just maybe, my hair isn't terrible and way too thin!
Same here!
Oh, yeah, people have been wearing wigs and extensions for literally thousands of years! They just always try to make it look like their own, so you don't hear a newscaster or Egyptian or 18th century nobleman or civil war wife or actress on the red carpet broadcasting the fact that it's not all their own hair. :)
marisadaniela6 yeah, if it looks too good to be natural, it usually isn’t. I may try modifying a couple of hair doughnuts from amazon. Oh the diying we will do! I can see where I could use some extensions for this look. Can’t wait to try it.
Stylist still use rats for updos. Models wears rats and extentions
Rats wigs and extentions are older than toilet paper my dude.
Holy cow. You popped up in my feed today and, while watching this video, I kept think "I know her. Who is she?" Then I remembered: Your sock bun secrete video! You're the one who taught 13 year old me how to do my hair for the first time! Glad to see you're doing so well!
Same, glad to see she's still living her best life
"...a piece of fabric that matches my hair colour" - whips out midnight blue fabric:-)
I thought the same thing..... guess it was just the lighting.... it was brown when she was stitching it
I always wondered how ladies hair looked so full an together years ago. Thanks for the tips. Years ago women kept a specialized jar on their dressing tables called a hair receivers. The lid had a hole to stuff fallen out hair into after combing or brushing. They can be found in antique stores.
I always knew that the extension I bought almost ten years ago would be granted a second life! Hello, Christmas holidays project. :D
it looks so nice ! honestly edwardian fashion is so flattering in my opinion, and you look gorgeous ! i will definitely try to recreate that ^^
wow that looks heavy. what my grandma used to do was to stuff an old pantihose with the hair she collect from her brushes. I never asked her why hehe
maybe she wanted to feel it was her own her she was wearing. and also the pantihose would match her hair so she didn't have to cover it with more hair.
It's really cheap and easy to do it that way, even more if you loose a lot of hair ^^ that's the method I use, it can seem weird but it's actually great ^^
Boogie on a budget has been around for centuries! :p
That's a good idea! I'm constantly cleaning my brush!
@@clueless_cutie Lol did you mean 'bougie' on a budget?
My grandmother was born in 1902; I remember her telling me that her mother kept a porcelein container on her dressing table, just to collect her hair for use in hair rats.
bangs were still worn during the edwardian era I have a picture of my great great grand mother were she had her hair pulled up in a gibson bun and she had a really short fringe on the side
You should try making one the way a lot of women did back then, by using the hair that comes off on your hairbrush! But I was very impressed by this, it turned out really good!
So BEAUTIFUL clever girl the hair style looks great on you❤
Nice tip! I use old tights that have holes in it that I would've throw away in the garbage. They are nice to pin thru, to mold and matches the hair pretty well. I also fill the rats with fabric scraps. Is pretty much the same idea but without covering the hair rat with hair.
Looked very cute. Hair rat is good idea, with a bad name. LOL
My sister had a hair rat for her French roll, back in the 50’s and 60’s.
My mom used to use rats in the 70’s. Hers was made of yarn covered in hair from her brush.
my mom used to save the hair from her round hairbrush to make a doughnut type thing to fill out a bun and apparently that was a trick she picked up and used to be super common but i thought it was gross
I just love this look. There is something so pretty about Edwardian styles & with your rich brunette coloring these styles are stunning on you Miss.
I love the idea for this video so much! Edwardian hair is so lovely and romantic to me.
Hello fellow-Dutchie... loved the video. Loved you using a wii-game 🤣. I will make one myself, rat not wii game. I loved the idea of using hair on it. I have really thine hair.
I am almost 56 years old and when I was younger (preteen) I was trying to recreate some of the styles my grandmother had worn in her old photos and asked her why even though I had very long and thick hair I couldn't make my hair look like her pictures. She blew my mind by saying "We used a rat." I asked her what it was and she said they saved all the hair from their hair brush and made a "rat" that they added to over time and used it as a fake roll to pin in their hair to add shape and volume where needed. I hope this helps. I have been saving mine for the last three years hoping to find a tutorial on how to make one especially since my hair has been falling out and getting much thinner since having covid.
Same age here, and I was told the exact same thing. My mother (WWII generation) told me her mother and aunts all used “rats” made of their own hair or rags. I have a photo of her mother as a young adult and she was wearing this hairstyle.
Im thinking of stuffing mine with dryer lint. Recycling and the fabric softener smells pretty good still. Win/win.
If you did this, let me know if it shed dust or not. I’d be worried that I’d end up with a dirty scalp.
Do you need a bun fluffers too?
Simply netting found at the fabric store in the color of your hair make a bun stuffer
Honestly my mom use to do this, and she said she never used a rat hair. I havent a clue of how she would have without it
Celestine Bunting Maybe back-combing and a lot of hairspray?
@@Tina06019 nope no hair spray, apparently she would just throw it up
It looks so nice! I always wondered how they got so much volume back then!
Looks like you need 2 hair rats ...🤔🤔 another one on top.
I had no idea this is how they got some much volume back then!!! I wonder if that’s what they did for all the hairstyles in the Anne of Green Gables: the Sequel movie?! So beautiful!
I have been collecting my fall out hair so I can make a hair roll, I have ALWAYS wanted to do an Edwardian/Gibson hair style. They look so elegant and beautiful.
I love this tutorial! The volume looks natural.
Love this hairstyle ♥️ So romantic looking, and it suits you very well ✨
I am IN LOVE with this hairstyle. It’s absolutely gorgeous!!! I only wish I could wear this as an every day hairstyle in high school
I always wondered how they achieved this look so thank you
I LOVE videos like this, since I'm mid hair school and always wonder how all these women in history managed to do the different interesting styles!
i dont have enough hair.. grrrr...
Thank you! I made my first Gibson hair rat today, using your basic idea, and I looked AWESOME! Thank you!!!
This is so beautiful on you! I live the rat you created! I bet you could make one with some tights or pantyhose too! Thick tights would probably work best. I hope you use this in some more videos and even add some extensions to create the FULL bouffant Edwardian Gibson girl look! Love it!
which method did you use to curl your hair in this video? :) Also, as I have dark brown hair that is dyed petrol-turquoise, I'm not sure if I would make my hair rat turquoise, brown or both :D
Thanks so much for this! I'm making a Victorian costume and was wondering how I was going to get my very thin hair into a nice style. Usually putting my hair up makes me look almost bald.
I use the modern hair doughnuts for 18th century to get a front pouf, I bought 2 cut them open (so that the doughnut becomes a straight stick shape) and stitched the ends together to make a long tube. For an Edwardian ring you'd probably need 3 and then just sew them all together to make a giant doughnut.
I’ve had my grandmother’s Bakelite vanity set for some time. I always assumed that the round lidded object with a hole in the center of the lid was for powder or hair pins. Nope, I think it’s a hair receiver. I’d never heard of this before, so it led to my learning about the creation of hair rat(t)s. Your video came up in my search, and it was very informative. Thank you for it!
Awesome...I'm so making this. Thanx ever so. Darling Vid
You are SOOO clever!!!! 😵 Love this idea! Just brilliant!
Oh my, you are SO PRETTY! It turned beautifully and it suits you so well!
I love Edwardian era fashion, and what ingenuity! Fun video, thank you for this. 😄
Check out Rachel Maksy's channel if you especially love Gibson girl type of looks!!
Sis you look so good
I used to think not many people just had hair extensions but based off of my high school class, I’m the odd one who doesn’t own any hair extensions, willing to try then though to get super long hair. My hair is already pretty long but I wanna see how I’d look with hair to my lower waist..?
You pull off all of the vintage hair styles, I love it!!
Old Pantyhose work better because you can pin it and move to shape better. That’s what I use.
I absolutely ADORE your blouse! Was it thrifted?
I will be honest the thumbnail alarmed me...your outfit and hair look beautiful though you are such an icon!!
Can you share which hair extensions you used? And after you cut off the clip, how do you hold it together to sew to the rat? Thanks.
@Loepsie : Mario Kart?!? Subscribed!!!! lol
It’s like the original donut bun maker
Challenge: make a hairstyle incorporating an actual rat. Maybe a nice big victory roll one of your ratties could peek out of?
AbigailR84 🤣
How do you sew hair to a roll of fabric??!? Seems to me like the hair would just fall out of the stitches
VERY nice you look great with this style!.
You know you can also just cut 2 doughnuts an sew them together?
I subscribed when you used the mario cart to measure for width.
where did you get the white sweater you wear in the tutorial? it’s gorgeous!
Im gonna keep saving my own hair and make a diy hair rat one day hakskslsbwo
what did you used for the end of hair extension? using glue or what?
Loving the hair styles. Quality content
Nice job, Lucy.
This is a very nice hair-style.
Omg first fir the first time eveeeerrr!!!1
My grandmother wore the Gibson girl up do when she was a young woman, and yes she made rats from her own hair cleaned from her brush/ comb I think she used hair nets to make the rolls. At that time she had thick and extremely long hair, but having a rat made everything simpler and she could have a full pouf and a huge bun at the crown. I believe she preferred a figure eight. Unfortunately when she had one of oldest children she had what they called milk forever - a high fever and a lot of her hair fell out... So in the 1920's "marcell" wave on short bobbed hair was in she embraced that look. She had been quite good at putting up her long thick locks, but never did master doing short hair dos herself, Lol.
Sharon laFerry, I could have written that about my own grandmother! 🥰. Her hair was the colour of a new penny, thick and dead straight, and she could sit on it. She went for a Marcel wave, which was not well received by my grandfather! Anyway, she had the long hair made into a “switch” where the cut ends were twisted very tightly into a tiny loop for pinning in.
It lived in her dressing table drawer, carefully wrapped in tissue, and I loved to stroke it, wishing that my hair wasn’t brown.
Just remembered: my grandfather died very suddenly when Nanny was just forty. Within six months, her hair turned pure white.
nailed it! good job
Omg I could’ve used this tutorial for Halloween 2017, I was a Edwardian skeleton, the final product looks SO NICE
Not only is the hairstyle itself beautiful but the beauty of the model herself is superb. She looks amazing.
I love the Edwardian Pompadour hairstyle. Thanks a lot for posting this clip.
That's so pretty!
This is genius - total life saver. I know about rats, but making one and wrapping it with extensions...genius!! Def going to do this!!
note that you could also buy hair for box braids and make a big braid with it and simply use that, it's easier and cheaper but I don't think it would last as long
This is absolutely amazing!! I loved how simple it was to do, yet so elegant and beautiful!! I'll DEFINITELY be trying this! Only thing I'm not sure of is how did you make the rope twist that you added after cuz I want to do that as well, I'm just not sure how to do it lol!!
Absolutely a fantastic video. Thank you so very much!!! Love it ❤️
Thank you. I have been wanting to create this hairstyle for many years, but I didn’t know how till your video.
Love it! Thank you!
really cute but the name lol eugh
Cuteness overloaded.....
Helloo, Can i use long sock?
I’ve watched so many tutorials for Edwardian hair and you are exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you for this easy hack I can’t wait to try it! I am now a new subscriber. ❤️
I don't know why this is recommended for me, but what the hell. I found it entertaining and interesting. A winning combination. (Maybe it's because I watch videos of how things were done in the past.)
So that's how it's done! Amazing, thank you. I've been growing out my hair with the vague idea of trying out hairstyles. So far I've only managed some basic braids and my imagination has kinda failed me, this was quite inspiring. PS: you look great. Definitely checking out your other vids later on.
Beautiful queen goddess
Wow!Its lovely
Hi. I'm from Bangladesh.I like u soooo much.love u sooooooo much ,Ur simplicity.ur smile r awesome.u r just gorgeous.💞
Check out some roving or unworked alpaca fiber. Great match for color and texture!
Thanks for making this video. A nice hairstyle with no pulling, twisting, or braiding. This means no damage! I will be making one soon.
"From a tube into a... stuffed... tube..."😂
You are so lovely!
So pretty do you Mary me 😀
Beautiful!
Wow!!!! It came out amazing, BRAVO👍👍👍
Thank you TH-cam, I just learned something new and cool!
You look adorable. This is a fantastic hairstyle for you. You went to great lengths to create this for us-thank you. Also, your sweater, blouse, and skirt are extremely cute.
This hair style always reminds me of Mary Sanderson's hair, even though hers is super extra.
for the base, i think you could also cut up and sow together larger size hair donuts... you can definetely pin into those. :)
I just watched your rag curl video and I can say now watching this video after, the hair looks so cute brushed out and more relaxed.
This looks really pretty. You did a good job with the hair rat. More hair rat videos! No pressure, but I did enjoy it.
