Yes, I am looking a little  different to normal.

Now, it's been mentioned that I haven't recently done enough

hair and beauty and fashion-related videos.

Also, as you may know, I am incredibly obsessed

with playing games on my phone, and have a terrible memory.

So, three birds with one stone: I thought that I would be inspired

June's Journey, which is a hidden mystery--hidden object mystery game.

But I've been using it to try and improve my memory.

It's set in the 1920s and it's all rather glamorous.

So, I thought I'd use that to challenge myself to create a 1920s look.

So, I hope you really enjoy watching this look take place.

I've sprinkled in some facts as well, as you know I love to do.

If you want to reproduce this look for a 1920s party

please, please, please let me know if you do; I should be very excited if you use this video

the women's suffrage movement brought forth the flapper girl of the 1920s.

Fashionable and fun-loving women who rejected convention.

Their distinctive look is the one most people associate with the 1920s.

Pale skin, dark eyes, and a Cupid's bow mouth.

For the first time, women cut their hair short,

The main character of the game, June, has a stylish bob,

but I'm particularly inspired by her niece Virginia's finger waves.

I have even put a bow on my dress to match.

I'd like to begin by letting you know that I have really sparkly nails!

I need to tell you that because I've put three different types of nail varnish on here,

including a top coat that says it's gonna make it last for seven whole days!

somehow, in the making of this video, they will inevitably become damaged.

Every time I make a video, I just destroy my nails.

So, I have hair much longer than the 1920s bob,

so what we're going to try and do with that is take this hair at the back

Just pin it up and then get some lovely finger waves out of the front here.

To start with, I've done a rolling pattern here that is forwards and then backwards.

So my partings along here, I've gone backwards and then forwards

and on the side, backwards; forwards; backwards; forwards,

and hopefully that is gonna help us a lot when it comes to making our waves.

I use sponge rollers rather than pin curling, because my nerve disability means I can't feel the ends of my fingers

so pins are fiddly, and I also can't tell when things are wet or dry very well

If you're a pin curler rather than a sponge roller,

simply curl your hair in directional rows of backwards and forwards.

So, I've taken a lot at the back of my hair

and put it into a cute little bun at the back

we're going to make some beautiful Marcel finger waves

and then pin towards the back, because clearly I'm not going to actually cut my hair for this.

We're going to be doing that using some strong hold fixing styling mousse,

which will probably make my hair terrible for the next few days, but we're doing it!

You will need: a lot of clips (thanks to vintagehairstyling.com for mine);

Pro tip: you're basically going to need to use so much that your hair will be disgusting to touch.

Using your comb in a firm hand, drag the hair backwards; pin into place; and drag forwards.

and I haven't thought this through, because I'm gonna have to do my make-up around this

So I've left this a little bit here at the end and I'm just gonna twist it

And then we just do this lovely process all over again

Now liberally spray your entire head in hairspray

until you've pretty much filled the room with fumes and are beginning to think that this was a bad idea.

Take a moment to get your breath back and play the awesome new phone game you're addicted to.

June's Journey follows the eponymous June,

who returns to her family home after her sister's murder to care for her niece

AND find out if the killer really WAS her brother-in-law.

You play by helping June to discover clues to the crime

and uncover family secrets in time [inaudible] object scenes.

Here's a super sneaky thing: but if you watch an ad it means that you can pay for just ten energy,

which I do all the time because...I'm addicted

and I need to play as many times as I can,

You can also renovate and decorate the family estate,
