I remember blowing my very long hair dry using a hand blower permanently stationed on the dormitory bathroom wall. I could bend in those days. Thanks for the memories. I almost said "fun" memories, but it really was a challenging time for hairstyles.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323550437588571742.post-43981052490089127212010-04-13T19:46:21.000-05:002010-04-13T19:46:21.000-05:00Thanks for the memories.

Now with my daughter I don't have to worry about that she has a head full of natually curly hair. She will probably have memories of straightening her hair.

I also did all of those things. When I think about mother rolling my hair in rags, it makes me laugh. There were many times that I fell asleep with one of those hair dryer caps on my head! I hate to think of how many times I went somewhere with curlers in my hair and one of those bonnets over them! My how times have changed.

M...Oh boy, did your post ever bring back memories !<br />My grandma owned and operated a beauty salon for years and years. In the summer, my cousin and I got paid 10 cents a sink-full to rinse out the perm rods and sort them! <br />We would get so sick of that smell!<br />But, the big pay off, was on Saturday when we could watch all the old gals come and get their hair blued or have the violet treatment. Us kids thought it was a hoot!Kerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16836707727301350889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323550437588571742.post-47832404656686214012010-04-12T01:33:16.779-05:002010-04-12T01:33:16.779-05:00What a great post Carol.
