Since i was a young woman they always put three of four sharp pins to keep the rollers super tight. The rule of the day was to have the roller pulled tight to stretch the wet hair. The tension was intense and as you dried over 90-minutes to 2 crazy hot hours the hair pulled tighter and tighter.. my scalp burned by this beauty is pain torture three times a week. The worst part was older women laughing at you for being fidgety. The thick plastic cape was sauna like hot and of course we wore long skirts and tight open girdles every day. Being a woman was tough back then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-72398808928249146922012-01-05T10:11:23.505-06:002012-01-05T10:11:23.505-06:00@Jenn Ski: Thank goodness I was too young to remem...@Jenn Ski: Thank goodness I was too young to remember much about getting hooked up to that thing...but I remember every painful poke to my scalp from brush rollers.

As I got older, straight hair was in fashion, so hair rolling was done on the largest curlers I could find...so it would be stick straight and smooth. Go figure...LOL And, yes, brush rollers were just a nylon brush stuck inside a mesh cylinder with the bristles poking out. Into. Your. Scalp.

I've used the foam rollers & velcro rollers with varied success. The hot rollers however are what I used the most.

I have thick, wavy hair, which I got from my dad, but I recall all those torture equipment from watching my mother, who has poker straight hair, which was just not allowed, back in the day. I don't know how anyone could sleep on a brush, which was what those curlers were, weren't they? Plus, as I am typing, I wonder whether this was a form of birth control because women couldn't look attractive trying to become attractive...crazy.suzieQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04883115039145453043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-32078989664047754242011-12-30T02:22:54.299-06:002011-12-30T02:22:54.299-06:00@Esa: Ah, what we do for beauty.
