Goodness, my mother used some of those things on my poor hair and she SURE used those Toni home perms. I have a picture of my sister and I just like yours. I was just laughing. Can't believe you still had all those different curlers though!! THAT was so funny. Though I have to say, I still have some of the BIG plastic rollers. And we used ORANGE JUICE cans (washed out of course) for really STRAIGHT long hair!!<br />Thanks for the walk down memory lane. What fun.<br />I'll have to check your blog out more often, you do a great job!!<br />Jackie in San AntonioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529160027467418683.post-10630042580148502942009-08-01T11:08:14.516-05:002009-08-01T11:08:14.516-05:00I think you should start an epidemic in blog land....I think you should start an epidemic in blog land.

And my mom cut my bangs that short too. I remember when she cut my girlfriend's bangs like that. GF had a widow's peak and her bangs looked so terrible.

First my hair was washed, then my mom would set it all in pin curls close to my head. Next the bonnet dryer treatment - I think my ears still have burn marks. Once dry, remove the pincurls, brush into a cotton candy fluff, then weigh the whole thing down with VO5.

My mom couldn't cut hair either but she could sew and she could knit. We all had poufy dresses with lots of crinolines for Easter (and gloves) and sweaters with reindeer and snowflakes at Christmas.
