Did your mom ever make you wear brush curlers *PHOTO* ?

No, but I remember my mom wearing them... a lot! And I remember her sitting under her portable hairdryer. Oh, the memories

No, but I love me some spoolies!

Ann

nope. I chose to try them myself because I hated the hard curlers with the covers that snapped on them. they left such an awful crease mark in my hair. these grabber rollers were kinder but they never stayed up by themselves and I hated hair pins.

No but my mom still does! I remember sleeping in the pink foam ones.

No, my mother never made me wear them - I did it voluntarily. Then I graduated to juice cans. Oh, and I ironed my hair too. By iron I mean the type you iron your clothes with. I also used tape on my bangs.

Aw, the memories. And yes, I do know what Dippity Do is.

OMG, I'm having a flashback of stepping on one of those darn things! ouch!

LOL, yes!  With my stick-straight hair, that would be back to flat within the hour, and then she'd complain about how bad my hair looked, and why didn't someone (photog? teacher? who?) do something about it? 

This was the same woman who I mentioned in a different thread who had no problem burning the hell out of my hair with those home permanents, but god forbid I actually wanted to get highlights.  SMH!  haha! 

Yes, and I can remember getting them tangled in my hair and cut out too.

Oh, yes, that was a Saturday night ritual so that our hair would be ready for church the next morning. I remember sitting on the floor between her knees and hearing her constantly telling me to be still. LOL. She also used dippity doo.

On a side note, my mom would get her hair done at the beauty shop every Friday afternoon. Friday and Saturday nights, she would sleep on this little pink satin neck pillow thing so as not to mess up her 'do. I remember wondering if I would do that when I was "big". The answer: NO. LOL!

My mom was big on the pink sponge rollers for my hair! 
I remember we had a babysitter with long long hair and she would wash it in the bathtub while she was over and then set it on orange juice cans! 

I never had to wear them but I remember playing with the ones my Mom had. I liked to pull the brush part out of the middle and squish the springy part.

Did you guys ever wrap your hair in toilet paper to sleep? I did. I had this big bouffant going on with an entire can of Aqua-net, I had to use a pencil to scratch my head. So at night, in order not to flatten it out, I'd wrap toilet paper around it then clip it with those metal hair clippy things. So then, not only would I wake up with tape marks, I would wake up with hair clip impressions embedded in my face.

Remember getting them tangled in your hair? They are a ^*#"! to get out. When I was little, my mom would tie up my hair in flannel rags to make adorable curls.

Oh my. I slept in those rollers every night for years and years, all through high school and then for many years after. I would roll my hair then tie a soft flannel scarf around the whole affair to keep everything in place while I slept. Don't know how I did it but I must have just gotten used to the pain! For me it wasn't to add curls but to control my naturally curly, wavy hair.
