Hair Tutorial Live Stream!
Oh my goodness, so sorry for the technical issues today! What a fun time we had hanging out once I resolved it though. Thank you all so much for joining. As promised, here is the list of products I use:
Velcro rollers (look for 3/4" rollers)
Net scarf (dimensions are 47 in x 32 in x 32 in)
Kenra Daily Provision Leave-In Conditioner
Lottabody Setting Lotion (I use a half and half mix with water)
Mason Pearson Popular Mixture Brush
Jac-o-Net No Elastic Hair Net (my package says bouffant size, but I could only find regular size online! Any hairnet in your color will work though)
Sexyhair Big Spray and Stay hairspray (also here is the other spray I really like: Tigi Bed Head Masterpiece)
Tartelette Toasted Eyeshadow Palette
Dose of Colors lipstick in Kiss of Fire
Thanks for hanging out today. Next month we'll do makeup!
xoxo,
Gertie
P.S. Thought you'd enjoy these process shots. ;)

Can't wait for a bumper bang tutorial. I know things got messed up due to the pandemic, but I hope it is still on the to do list for the future.
Yes, I'd love to see a work through Gertie's UFO pile!
Goodness! I doubt I would ever gett my hair like that. I have very, very, very curly hair which is also very dry. I've tried so many products but have never found anything which solves my problems. I grew it once (took a long time) as long as my waist but the curls made it all sit on my shoulders and was, still is, very frizzy. Also it is very light. No product has ever made my hair weigh anything. Super envious of your lovely thick hair.
I have a question about using fabrics with a higher stretch percentage. I have bought ponte and interlock online for this and both have about 50% stretch. Can I still use these fabrics for this project if I size down? I’ve decided that I have to wait on any more fabric for this until I can shop in person because the ponte I just got in the mail is the second order that is about 50% stretch.
Just got caught up on your content (been suuuuper busy at work) and finally watched this video. planning on setting my hair tomorrow night!
Thanks for such a cool video. The hair net is life changing LOL My hair doesn't normally like staying or being frizz free so will definitely have to try that!
Finally got a chance to watch this. Love it! Thanks for sharing. The hair net is a revelation.
I got my pillow rollers through today and my hair is all wrapped and ready to see what happens! Thing is, I've run into a bit of an issue an unsure how to proceed - my kitty Tabitha is trying to eat the pillow rollers while in my hair :) :) I've put a scarf on and now she's just taking it as a challenge...........
My pillow rollers and setting lotion have arrived! Tonight might be the night to test it out, so excited - Thanks so much for the tutorial, Gertie :)
love my pillow rollers like you gertie i have a very sensitive head and until now i had trouble sleeping with my rollers in! i wear a jersey turban over mine to hubby says i look like professor quirell! i am gonna give your way a go usually i have to use a ton of rollers as my hair is naturally curly and loves to frizz! do you have a hashtag on insta we can share our results with you?
I tried out the Velcro rollers and they are really nice to use! I was too scared to tackle them until now, so thank you Gertie for the tutorial! <3
That’s great to hear! ❤️
Thank you so much for the tutorial! i just started curling my hair so i will definitely try this! Please do a makeup tutorial :)
Great tutorial Gertie. You made it look so easy. I wish I didn't just get my hair all cut off 😂
Gertie, I was watching you when we didn't have any voice. As I understand the rest got an email but I didn' t. Perhaps I' m not in your list. I mostly worry because I will not receive emails like the one with the link for the starburst dress! Thanks in advance!
Not sure if Gertie has sent this one out as I haven't had it.
Aussie ladies this site has a lot of these products 😘 https://www.atomiccherry.com.au/collections/vintage-hairstyling
Wondering whether to get pillow rollers from ebay in Aus!
Do you have a source for hair nets for red heads? I'm having trouble finding one
Capezio (Bunheads) make ones in Auburn. They're great hair nets but still might be a little dark.
What book is your patio dress pattern in? Or maybe I just need to buy all the books at once 😍
It’s in Gertie Sews Jiffy Dresses, it’s a great book Amy Jo I’d highly recommend it!
Excited to come out!!! Just a few more days
Yay Missy! Can’t wait to see you!
Cracked me up, the first sound I got was you saying the fbomb😂 It made my day! Thanks for this great hair video, it’s so fun to be a part of!💗
Pardon my french 😂🙊😳 I forgot people would be able to see that part during playback!
If I get rid of my husband I will be able to sleep in a net with rollers in my hair. I definitely do not look as cute as Gertie doing this. However I might be able to get away with an hour under the dryer.
Hey, ladies! Dose of Color just gave me a 20% off coupon for signing up - got the Kiss of Fire lipstick for $14.40.
I have not been able to get the comments going yet, but I enjoyed the video. I’m always interested in the products other people use. (My new hot rollers get really hot. In a very short time, my hair looks like Suzanne Sugarbaker’s - the higher the hair, the closer to heaven.) Ordered two sets of pillow rollers for my daughter tonight.
Thanks Susan! If you click on the YouTube link during the live stream, you’ll be able to see the live chat comments. Unfortunately you can’t see them afterwards:(
My husband bought me a mason pearson brush for an anniversary present last year 🤣. It was unexpected, but turned out he had done research into what Dita von teese used. 😄 I have 10yr old Remington rollers and they get really hot, but going to try pillow rollers as I'm soooo lazy with hair and makeup! Thank you for the video 💛
That’s such a thoughtful gift!
Product list coming later today! Sorry for the issues and for my swearing at the computer at the beginning 😳. Edited video coming too! 🤣
I didn't see swearing, thought you were super patient!
I have my mum's old General Electric hot rollers and they definitely make a better curl than a modern hot roller. I can get a great Vidal Sassoon pageboy look. Tried my friend's modern hot rollers once and it was a disaster, the style fell out before I could even spray set it.
So can you not over brush it? I’m always afraid to brush it all out
Not with an overnight wet set like this. At least for me, over brushing is more an issue with hot roller sets.
Yay so excited!!
Yea! I can hear you
