    I'm a dude with short hair, and yet I still clicked on and watched this fully.
  • @CatholicGirl99
    ok, I’m a total goth but ever since I discovered this channel my look has become Victorian goth. I’m living my best life.

    "Then realize it's in the way and sheds excessively." Can relate.
  • @AnneEWilliamson
    "You are a respectable woman of the wrong century." Describes me perfectly!
  • @elleknight255
    By the time she said," "Begin with undoing whatever swamp hag styling you probably just woke up with", I was sold xD

    “Embrace the beauty in your flaws, my friends.” -Bernadette Banner Making that my senior quote! Lol

    I wanted to thank you so much for this. I went to a wedding tonight and I used this style. I embellished it with some crystal/pearl hair pins for a bit of bling and it was perfect. I have wavy/curly hair that normally fights any restraint. After 4 hours of heat, humidity and dancing it looked as great as it did when the evening began.
  • The way you look in the video thumbnail (with your hair up like that, and wearing those glasses), you look like someone who, with a toss of her head and a wave of her hand, could seal people's fate.

    “i think you can achieve this just as easily with shorter and/or curly hair” i have a really short bob so LETS DO THIS update: yes it is possible but i just did two little braids and used a clip to hold them together and did the cool twisty things on the top
  • I took a theatrical make-up class, and for our "free reign" project (whatever we wanted to do), I made myself up to be Mina Harker from Dracula after she got bitten. I covered my face in light foundation, made prosthetic bite marks on my neck, and even the burn on her forehead from the Host. My professor told me that I needed to do a hairstyle as well, so I used this one. My hair is on the shorter side, so I did need to use half a ton of hairpins, but it did the trick. Thank you for the tutorial. My professor loved the hairstyle, and I got an A on the assignment.

    I can't believe I thought I was the only one being in love with the Victorian and Edwardian eras. As a girl who lives with a super modern family who thinks I'm always too fancy when wearing long dresses, this is super relatable! "You are a respectable woman of the wrong century", I never related to anything as much as this!
  • @t3asn0b51
    I hope it's not a plait-itude To say 'Sincerest gratitude For this video so fair With hair... everywhere!'
  • "-erm... stiches??.." oh m, I never thought I'd see the day Bernadette did not have a older/fancier term for a word😂
  • @justalurkr
    "Asymmetry is cool, I guess." I cracked up here.
  • @jabradford32
    Goodness you have beautiful hair. Now you are going to need to make a video on your hair care routine.
  • @mainlyfine
    Single plait movements are called 'iterations' ie. one iteration of the plait, two iterations of the plait etc.
  • @spicax9377
    I’m literally crying how could a human being be so pretty you should appear in some sorts of Hollywood movies
  • @eriymarie
    Granted, I know my grandmother didn’t live during Edwardian times, but seeing Bobby pins, I’m reminded of the time she told me, “a lady never allows her pins to show!” as if my bra straps were showing. I wish I had the patience for this.
