I learned to straighten hair today.....the easy way...

A few of my friends have told me how they iron their hair to make it straight.

I don't do it though, all I do is brush mine.

I think us Kiwis must have been behind the times , as I really donot remember Ironing hair at all, in my teens, no-one I knew did,perhaps it was a fad that just did not come here.

Aaahhhh Memories - Memories!!

Yes - I too ironed my hair in the 60's - although I always put a piece of brown paper over the hair before it was ironed.

Coke cans as hair rollers - YES!

What about sellotape over your fringe at bedtime? Anyone else remember?

PS I bought Elizabeth a ceramic hair straightener for Christmas and yes she too has dead straight hair like her Mum!!!

It was a special "hair" tape! Pink with fringed edges. That way your bangs (or fringe) hung far down in front of your eyes....the better to annoy your mother!

YAY!!!! I remember ironing my hair in high school. I also remember my Mom wearing curlers (the brush kind that hurt like hell!!) to bed with toilet paper wrapped around her head to keep her bangs in place!!!

My Mom also curled my hair with strips of an old bedsheet. God, I miss her!

Boy, does that ever bring back FOND memories! Anyone remember Spoolies????
