My sister did this for her wedding! It was 1920s/Downton Abbey themed wedding. All the guests dressed up too!

The brightest smile on You Tube. You looked so authentic to the period when you went into black and white 🙂

So cool. My grandmas were teenagers in the 1920s. This is how they wore their hair. My one grandma called it finger waves. Thank you! Looks great on you. ❤

My grandma taught me finger waves with a foamy setting lotion and then you sit under the dryer or sleep with it. Its so much fun to do!

Hi peoples, if you are wanting this to last a long time or live in high humidity areas, I highly recommend using 2-4 dots of eyelash glue to tack down the curls that are closest to the face. This especially makes the little pin curls stay tight and have great definition.

Thank you Sage Lilleyman for your wonderful videos honoring the beautiful women of yesteryear.❤️

My mom always used Dippity Do to set her hair in the 60's... I can remember the smell of it to this day and being fascinated with that jar of clear, pink gel on her dresser. She tried a to set my hair a few times- sleeping in rollers and hair pins, ugh!- but I wasn't having it, I was a tomboy. I love Downton Abbey and found the hairstyles to be so fascinating, especially Edith's since she always sported finger waves.

Your hair looks wonderful whether up in this hairstyle, or not done at all! 😍 Thank you for always taking us on such lovely journeys back in time🙂💕

I had finger waves as a young lady I loved them I wish they'd come back into style your lovely and the look fits you so perfectly

I loved the amazon prime series "Z the beginning of everything" it felt very real 1920s. I cant wait to try this hair style, 1920s fashion is so fun!

GORGEOUS! My haircut is also a 1920s inspired look so I really enjoyed watching this!!!!! 🌸🌸🌸

I have been looking everywhere for a tutorial on how to do this hairstyle. Thanks so much for posting it.

Doesn't matter what I try to do with my hair - the end result is a frizzy puffy mess. But I've always wondered how this look was achieved so thanks for sharing!

I growing my hair out and of course with that comes awkward growing out phase. I saw another lady in KZfaq shorts doing fingerwaves . And felt inspired. I’ve been home sick again with covid so today is my secound day playing with doing fingerwaves. I’m loving it . I love and admire vintage styles . And makeup and clothes and pretty much everything. Love your channel. Thank you fir such High quality and researched content. Thank you thank you❤❤❤❤❤

I always feel so happy when you pop up in my notifications! Currently recovering from a big operation and it's been tough but this has absolutely made my day! 🥰 Much love from a fellow Aussie quirky gal!

My Great Nana used to do this hairstyle every day, she always went to sleep with Bobby pins to make the front of her hair wavy like this, hers was a full short bob though. This brought back some great nostalgia for me, thank you for sharing 😁

You are sooo lovely! The hairspray shots were hysterical 🤣...I so remember those on my own dos!

You look so authentic and lady-like! I love this look! I had a good laugh when you made faces from the hairspray fumes! 😄

Wow, how beautiful! I wish, that I would live in the 1920s and always see such nice hairstyles 🥰

My hair isn't this long any more but I did this look for one of my end of school formals (I got it done at the salon and the stylist used gel, it definitely wasn't going anywhere!) This makes me want to grow my hair, even though I really won't do that! I'll enjoy vicariously instead!

Yes! I was looking for more 1920s videos, this is so helpful. All your videos are amazing!

After watching this I googled what was used for hairspray in the 1920’s. You should see if you can make your own hairspray and try it with a 1920’s hair style. ❤️ all your videos, Sage!

You've got the perfect look for all these darling hairdos aka hairstyles. Great video.

I'm getting married next friday, so i hope i will do this as good as you did. Thanks for your great video about a lovely period of time, too. Still loving the 20's/30's/40's and absolutely the 50's.

Yay I can have a chic bob without chopping off all my hair! I'm very excited to try this out! I love your tutorials so much! The results are always lovely and you explain everything very well!

perfect timing! i’m currently researching 1920’s hair & makeup for a university production of “Semi Monde” :))

I like the black and white photos. Makes it looks real authentic to that era. Great job!

I think you were born in the wrong century! These vintage styles look so natural on you! I’m in cosmetology and fingerwaves are so challenging! I love the idea of long hair having an option...it’s darling! You make the funniest faces when using hairspray, hey, I’m there with you girlfriend! 🥰📸🎀💟

Sometimes with her gaze, her clothes and colour hair, reminds me a lot to Anya Taylor-Joy in The Queen's Gambit! Lovely video by the way ♥️.

We learned how to do finger waves in hair school. Hated it because we used gel and it felt so gross.

Awww Sage, beautiful as always! The black and white part really felt like I was watching an authentic old school film. The hairstyle looks so lovely on you. 💕

Glad to see you back again with a lovely look at Hairstyles from those Vintage Golden Ages. Keep these awesome Vids coming. Fans in PA from USA.💐❤

We used to have to do fingerwaves and pin curls for beauty school and state boards. I hated doing them. Such a pain. Lol. For. State boards we used to have to make sure that when we pulled the hair forward we would have to come every single strand of hair forward including all the underneath hair. Otherwise the style just did not work. You miss Lillyman did a very very good job

Your so beautiful 😭🥺

This was great! Thank you Sage ☺️ I’ll have to try this sometime! Yours came out amazing. It looks like you stepped right out of a silent movie!

This was great! Thank you! Spraying ones self in the face/eye with hairspray is no fun! But loved your grimaces! Lol! I have very curly hair so will practice getting this smooth but waved look!

You look like you should be at Downton Abbey. So so lovely!! This style reminds me of "Daisy" from "The Great Gatsby". Such a lovely fun hairstyle.

One of the best finger wave tutorials I've seen! Just lovely!!

You look just like a silent film star :)

This is one of the cutest hairstyles I've seen you do. I love this era as well. It really suits u also,very nice. Ear helmet, lol. Thank you so much Sage 🥰❤💕

I just played Janet Van de Graff in a production of The Drowsy Chaperone and this SAVED MY LIFE

For more holding power, try a spray on setting lotion like lotta body. My curls wont hold more than 3 hours without it for overnight curls, andonly 1 hour with heat curls. But with that setting lotion, my curls will last all day, and I'll still have waves the following day.

you are so calm and amazing

Absolutely loved this video. Aww thank you very much

Hello Sage! Thanks for the tips for doing finger waves! My hair is not as thick as yours, but I think I can try this style. Now that it is 2022, I have a good excuse for wearing my cloche hats! The finger waves will go nicely with my hats! Great video! ~Janet in Canada

I love it! ❤❤

I don't know if they have these in Australia but look for pin curl clips they're very very tiny and they will definitely hold better than a bobby pin and they're not as long as bobby pins so therefore you don't have to worry about them going on the other hair and flattening them out

Hi Sage!😊 It's so nice and elegant... All that ladies always looked so beautiful... Thank You Sweetie for another lesson...💝 Lots of love!

Sage..the finger waves look awesome..you especially have that beautiful smile which highlights your looks. My mother also did a quick updo for summer heat..a pony tail at the crown she split into 3-4 sections made sausage finger curl's secured at the base of the ponytail with Bobbie pins.. would you try it ?

Smile.. Happiness looks GORGEOUS on you. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU!😊

My mother had wave clips and styled her hair this way.

Your hair looked so pretty at the end, I want to try this hairstyle. I need to get some hair clips like you used in the video.

I'm glad to learn new things. You look great! Hope to be like you some day. Only my blog is mostly with music...

so cool, I will make one for me when I get the clips

I so love your videos!!! I’ve got lots of pictures of my grandmother and her sisters from that era and they have very similar hairstyles!!!

That’s a fabulous look for you! Beautiful!!!

Oh Sage well done you really play the part well and your beautiful like an actress love this look so elegant 🌹

Super cute!

So cute Sage!

Love your very creative channel! You’re a bright spot on the tube! 💛💛💛

This is perfect but I also think your vintage face helps a lot with that perfect look, you actually look like from 1920’s 👌🏼

My grandma explained to me that they used a solution of sugar and water to keep the hair in a certain way... I cannot imagine that! She was born in 1922, so maybe they used to do it more like in the 1930s-40s I don't know. Unfortunately she is not with us anymore to ask for more explanations

exceptionally pretty girl, simply gorgeous!❤

Up and early! Still Saturday and almost dinner time here. Finally 25-30°C 😎

I will try to recreate them

So so pretty. You pull off the 20s so we’ll 🌸

Princess hair 😍😍😍😍😍🌹🌹🌹🌹

Oh so darling 🩵

It looks super cute 😊 I love how you did your hairstyle 💇🏻‍♀️

Its very much similar lyk Indian dress.. that dupatta...

Also Popular during the 30s!

Hello! Is it possible to combine this look with pin curls as well? I’d love a combo of the two for my wedding, but I can’t quite figure it out!

Hi sage have you ever done a 1970s retro hairstyle
