Heather was talking in another thread about pin curling her hair
Boy, does that take me back to when I was a little girl.
Mom would pin curl my hair ; I have always had staight baby fine hair ; still do.( at times ; my hair will not even hold hair spray)
I would squirm and couldn't sit still when Mom was curling my hair; those pins really hurt
My head was sore for days and then she would start all over again
The teachers at school sent a note home telling Mom how pretty my hair was.
When my hair was really long she baraided it 2 braids.
and fixed it in buns, and did the Princess Leaha thingy
I hated that too ; but every body thought I looked cute

I remember the pink spong and the wired kind where you put a pink pin like thing in
We never used the tin can thing ; but I have read about it
and the rag curls too.
Now the rag things I could probably have lived with, Ha
My head hurts just thinking about all the curling, ha. pinkroses

Oh my mom did the braid thing like forever. My hair is really fine and thin and I swear those braids were so tight. When we went somewhere dressy it was pigtails high on my head with curls hanging down. She would use those pink sponge curlers. I hated having my hair or head touched. When I was little she used a washcloth to do my scalp because if they washed it regular it hurt my head. Haven't lived that down but my head is still sensitive. I don't do poerms anymore because it just ruins my hair (frizzies and breakage, big time) and I am trying to stay away from the chemical laden stuff anyway.

Do any of you remember spoolies? They were little pink rubber thingies that you would wrap your hair around then fold the top part down over it to hold it in place? Painless pincurls!! I had super curly hair so needless to say I never needed them!

Girls you will not believe this...but we would use cut up Prince Albert Cans cut in little strips about 1/2 to one inch wide. Roll a piece of brown paper bag around the tin and made the perfect thing to roll your hair on. guess we were just lucky that we didnt loose fingers cutting up those cans. ha. No pins was needed. When they got old you could just toss them. That is what a lot of us girls used here in the mountains of KY. Growing up here you learned to be creative. ha

I use to get my hair permed ; twice the girl I use to go to years ago forgot to put the solution on my hair
I kept wondering what was the matter with the perm; because it wasn't
a bit curly
After about a week I called her and asked her is she knew what was wrong
She laughed and said she forgot to put the solution on it
That happened twioed
I cannot get my hair washed or a perm because of the arithiris in my neck
I cannot lean back in the chair and sink
Perms are so expensive now
Mom would give me a perm now and then,
Oh, remember the huge afro, type ones,? Ha pinkroses

My mom would put my hair up in rag rollers when I was little, but it was more for the novelty of it than anything. She preferred to have me sit still while she used the curling iron....... and I also have very fine, VERY straight hair. My sister is blessed with the world's most gorgeous hair -- I never would have had to endure the curler if I had her hair, lol.
I've had my hair permed once, but since it's so fine, it had to be done twice before it would hold, and so I got gobs of breakage and frizz.

My youngest decided she wanted to curly hair. She's only 6, so I told her she couldn't have a perm. She hates the heat from the hair dryer so I knew a curling iron would be out of the question. We did a different take on pincurls. It took 2 hours to wrap all of her hair. Three days later she was begging me to do it again. She has a really tough hide.

I really wanted pin curls for my wedding, but the silly women at the salon said, "Oh, we can't do that..."...I wanted my hair to look like Carole Lombard's....but no, I ended up looking like a 1950's mafioso...

My mom always made me get a perm. Then I would have short, tight curls. I always hated that. When I got old enough to do my own hair, I would sleep in plastic rollers. If I could find a comfortable position I was lucky. I would lay in that position all night. My hair would only hold its set 1 night, and then I had to start all over again. Isn't hair styling soooooo much easier and relaxed now!!!!!

I remember pincurls and I remember the pain too Sheila! I also remember the braids...Mom would braid the little hairs at the back of your neck into them. You couldn't put your head down!

My mom did the rag rollers with us...that was fun and funky at the same time!! Then I would do the same to my dolls or Barbies. I remember watching my Nanna pin curl her whole head and it would take her 5 minutes flat. It took me about 20- my hair is so thicky and unruly but it was fun none the less.
